Snort. We’re our own worst enemy now. Who the heck needs al Qaeda? All the Islamists will need to do is sit back and watch while we implode. They won’t have to lift a finger. Best part for them is that we will have done it to ourselves.
Actually, groups like CAIR and ISNA haqve been working very hard since 9-11 to “Islamicize” these United States, and, they have been quite successful.
Focus on “terror” while ignoring the Jihad.
And running a close second is the fact they've used our money to sit back and watch. Every time we buy a gallon of gas or purchase illegal drugs a portion of that purchase makes its way to the terrorist network. They are very much like the US Government in that they don't produce anything of value but live off the labor of others. For our government it taxes, for the terrorists it money from oil-rich nations and illegal drugs.
I would be quite surprised if they try any large scale attack on US soil anytime soon. As you say, why bother. We're doing just fine on our own. In fact, an attack anything like 9/11 would have exactly the opposite effect of what they want. Right now we are a divided nation. Attack us and that will be put aside. Well, for the time being anyway.
Remember, they don't want to take us over so they can enjoy the treasures of the greatest nation the world has ever know. They want to take us over so they can destroy all of that. And if they can destroy us without the fight, then all the better.
They would love to storm in here and behead millions of us infidels. But that's a secondary pleasure.

Reluctantly, I have to agree.
