What's to understand. They want Western people DEAD.

Seems to me that one could distill a lot of this down to two points:
- Truth is relative - and
- Truth is relatives.

Western culture weakens traditional family ties and religious values Sure enough! Western culture would put an end to legal wife beatings and honor killings.

Islamists believe that:
- Wife-beating is an act of virtue.
- A rape victim has dishonored her family.
- A rape victim has sinned against the man who raped her
- It is virtuous to behead a child you wrongly believe has been raped.
- A woman who commits adultery should be stoned to death.
- A man who commits adultery should help stone the woman he had adultery with to death.

You forgot one.
It is permissible to gang rape a sister of a man who has committed adultery, rape, or sex outside of marriage.

Arab culture: Words without action have value (avoids conflict and saves face)
"Yes" is being polite, as required by culture.
Yes may mean "maybe"
Arabs reserve the right to look at the world in a subjective way.
An Arab will rarely admit to an error if it will cause loss of face.
Honor is more important than facts. All of which helps explain why any treaty signed with Arabs isn't worth the paper it's written on.

7. Lying to an infidel is not only acceptable, but in some cases required.
