Here is a "religious" homily recently disseminated on Palestinian Authority TV:
"History is repeating itself. Muhammad was besieged by two powers, Persia in the east and Rome in the west. Persia represents Russia, and America stands for Rome. Persia fell first, just as Russia fell first in the east. And America will fall, may it be Allah's will, just as Rome fell." ...
The poll found that 42 percent of Palestinians support attacks on American forces in Iraq; 74 percent said they supported Saddam Hussein in the war; and only 37 percent feel the World Trade Center bombers were "terrorists."
"Kill the Jews and those Americans who are like them and those who stand with them; they are all in one trench against the Arabs and Muslims. Because they created Israel here inside the beating heart of the Arab world, in Palestine, they created it to be the vanguard of their civilization, the vanguard of their armies, to be the sword of the West and the Crusaders, over the necks of the Muslims." (Palestinian Television, October 13, 2000.) ...
"We hear statements by the little American president, oppressive statements. He says Israel has the right to defend itself These statements carry destruction for America itself This president sees himself like one who has ascended to the mountaintop and like one expecting someone to push him so that he falls into the abyss, he and his people with him. We warn the American people that this president is dragging them to the abyss. [Allah] take vengeance on Your enemies, our enemies, enemies of religion." (Palestinian Authority TV, October 10, 2003.) ...
Palestinian Authority media reported how demonstrators "praised the role of Iraq and commander Saddam Hussein and stressed that Iraq's land will be a graveyard for the American soldiers...." (Al-Hayat al-Jadida, December 19, 2002.) ...
During the war, the Palestinian Authority actively endorsed killing Americans and even produced a music video celebrating the deaths of U.S. soldiers, which was broadcast repeatedly on TV.
When, in the early days of the war, a suicide bomber killed four American soldiers, the Palestinian Authority renamed a square in the Jenin refugee camp after the bomber, Ali Jafar al-Na'amani. ...

... The terrorist crosshairs are on "The Great Satan – America." They see the U.S. as a pig polluting the world with her prosperity, power and pornography, and infecting the Islamic vision with her moral and religious perversion. Terrorists don't hate the West because of Israel; they hate Israel because of the West.
Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, spiritual leader of the World Trade Center bombers in 1993, said, "The obligation of Allah is upon us to wage jihad for the sake of Allah. We have to thoroughly demoralize the enemies of God by blowing up their towers that constitute the pillars of their civilization … the high buildings of which they are so proud."
...
...Islamic terrorists had attempted to blow up the World Trade Center, killing six people and wounding 1,000. When the FBI arrested Abdel-Rahman, they wrote on the boxes confiscated from his apartment "irrelevant religious stuff."
...
....in time, it could open the floodgates for glassy-eyed, demon-possessed human bombs (H-bombers) to roam the streets of America waiting for the most opportune moment to hit the detonator.
Simply put, the H-bomb is a time-tested weapon that works. It causes panic while reducing the will and power of resistance so as to advance political goals – no matter how unrealistic. The H-bomb forced the U.S. and Israel out of Lebanon; Islamic fundamentalists are attempting to achieve the same goal in Iraq. They must not succeed! If they do, there is a 100 percent chance they will bring their war to the streets of America.
