I believe the author misses the point of Islam. It's not about worldly things it's about doing on this earth what God (Allah) wants done. And obtaining paradise. (killing Jews and other Infidels is on the agenda)- Tom
It may well be for the leaders, however, that won't cut it with the population. Remember, these are no longer "freedom fighters" they are now the legitimate government. Oh yeah, BTW, governments have certain responsibilities that "freedom fighters" don't. For instance, any attack on another nation is considered an Act of War and the nation attacked is permitted to respond.
Sorry, but "allah" ain't God
