I am reading a great book, "The Crisis of Islam," by Bernard Lewis.

Lewis writes, "The presumption is that the duty of jihad will continue, interrupted only by truces, until all the world either adopts the Muslim faith or submits to Muslim rule."

And did you read
"To most Americans, bin Ladin's declaration is a trvesty, a gross distortion of the nature and purpose of the US presence in Arabia. They should also be aware that for many, prehaps most Muslims, the declaration is an equally grotesque travesty of the nature of Islam, and even it's doctrine of jihad."
