Why Do Radical Muslims Want to Kill Europeans?
Hudson NY ^ | October 8, 2010 | Khaled Abu Toameh

How true is it that Al-Qaeda's terror attacks around the world are directly linked to the Israeli-Arab conflict?

Some Middle East and terror "experts" have long maintained that the West's support for Israel was one of the main motivations behind the attacks of Al-Qaeda and other Islamic fundamentalist groups.

These "experts" have naively and foolishly endorsed Al-Qaeda Chief Osama bin Laden's argument that the terror attacks against the US and Western targets are the result of the Israeli-Arab conflict.

In the past, bin Laden justified his organization's attacks on Americans by citing continued US support for Israel as the main reason.

But now that it has been revealed that Al-Qaeda is also planning a new wave of terror attacks in Europe, it would be interesting to hear what excuse bin Laden would have this time.

If the Americans deserve to be murdered because of Washington's "bias" in favor of Israel, why are countries such as France, Britain and Germany -- which have, generally speaking, been very supportive of the Palestinians -- now on the black list of radical Islamic groups?

The Europeans are being targeted for the same reason the Americans are: for being "infidels" and enemies of Islam and for the Western values they represent. They are being targeted because of their failure to transform into Islamic countries. Those who think that solving the Israeli-Arab conflict will undermine Al-Qaeda and its allies do not know what they are talking about.

Bin Laden, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrallah are actually waging a war against Arabs and Muslims who are involved, directly and indirectly, in the Middle East peace process.

Al-Qaeda was established in 1989 in Afghanistan, and not in the West Bank and Gaza Strip or any Arab country.

Al-Qaeda was one of the by-products of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and not the creation of the Jewish state in mandatory Palestine in 1948.

Al-Qaeda was established with one goal in mind: to defeat the all the non-believers, including the US and its Arab, Muslim and Western allies.

Bin Laden and his friends want to kill Europeans not because of settlement construction in the West Bank ,or the blockade on the Gaza Strip; they want to kill Europeans because Europeans are not Muslims and have different values.

The Europeans need to understand that their support for Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular will not help them avoid "punishment" by radical Muslims.

The policy of appeasing Muslim terror groups also will not help. On the contrary, each concession by the US and its allies to Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hizbullah will be interpreted as a sign of weakness that will subsequently lead to more violence.

The only connection between the Muslim terrorists and the Middle East conflict is their dream of destroying Israel.

They want to destroy Israel not because they love the Palestinians, but because they regard Jews as "infidels."

They want to destroy Israel because they believe that all of Palestine is Muslim-owned land that belongs only to Muslims.

Those who think that solving the Israeli-Arab conflict will undermine Al-Qaeda and its allies do not know what they are talking about.

Bin Laden, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizbullah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrallah are actually waging a war against Arabs and Muslims who are involved, directly and indirectly, in the Middle East peace process.

Renewed peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have only increased the terror groups' appetite to carry out their schemes.

The only way to deal with the terror threat is by stepping up the war against Al-Qaeda, Taliban and other radical Islamic groups.

Why Do Radical Muslims Want to Kill Europeans?

Because they're white.

Mohammed’s last words to his followers before he died: “FIGHT until all people have Allah as their God.”

What should we understand by this?

I’m getting a “redirect” message from this commentary. Redirect my antipathy to al-Qaeda. Like it’s only the “radical” groups in Islam that are the problem, and I shouldn’t condemn Islam but seek to save it from those nasty extremists.

Well, no sale. When push comes to shove, which it will, so-called moderate Islam will stand with al-Qaeda and the other radicals.

Islam in general — what some would prefer to call “moderate Islam” — gets no pass from me.

“Radical Islam” is actually STANDARD ISLAM. As understood and practiced since the 7th century. Its goal remains conquest. Don’t take my word for it, read the Quran. That book that Barack Hussein Obama described as “revealed.”

Al-Qaeda is one of the pits but Islam is nevertheless a poisonous fruit. Picking out the pits doesn’t change anything, just makes it easier to swallow poison.

Allah is the god of Moslems. Yhwh is the god of the jews and christians. Yhwh had a son, allah did not. Two different gods. And as christ said, the only way you can tell which god hears your prayers is to pray through him...

islam is a leftist political movement (like communism) focused on total dictatorial control and cleverly disguised as a religion for protection purposes.

The koran is truly a book of satanic verses that rewards killing innocents with an eternity in “paradise”. Only satan could create an evil like that and convert so many.

Absolutely right, but we mustn’t say this out loud. In fact, Obama has sent the head of NASA to the Middle East to explain that everything the West has accomplished in the world of science and space tech, not to mention computers, tv, medicines, and anything else of practical use was really invented by Arabs. With a deep bow, of course.

The idea that Bedouin tribes from Arabia could invent algebra and sophisticated architecture is suspect.

Assyrian Christians claim the mathematics, medicine, astronomy and architecture that historians have attributed to Islamic culture is actually their achievements, accomplished long before they were over run by Arab Muslims.

“Why Do Radical ****** Want to Kill Europeans? “
Because their savage ideology tells them to and because many Europeans just bow down and give in.

The fact is radical Muslims having been trying to conquer the world since Islam began. They were stopped at Tours in 742 and at Vienna in 1529 and 1678. They’ve never given up trying to conquer Europe. Albania is their only prize in Europe to date, but they want the rest of the continent. And the world. It’s the nature of the beast. The naivete of the Euro Israeli-haters/Pali-lovers is pathetic. They want to cuddle up to the crocodile who will gladly eat them at the first opportunity. The sooner the Euros boot all Islamic non-assimilators back to their cruddy third-world pestholes, the better off they’ll be.

The Israel reason is just a current political adaption to the real reason that was established in the Koran hundreds of years ago. A statement that the problem is Israel is naivete. If would lead the uninformed to believe that if the west would stop its support of Israel, then the west would no longer be targeted. (That's right up there with apologizing for the USA to Iran and expecting them to cease their nuclear program). It is not only naive, it borders on insanity when you add your personal security to the equation.

If you believe this line of thought, then you really need to go to The Patriot's Flag - Islam & Sharia Watch and start LEARNING. Atlas Shrugs is another great site, Creeping Sharia, Jihad Watch. Please spend some time LEARNING about Islam. You'll discover it is not a religion, it is an ideology (like communism) that creeps into your personal security and does so fully protected by your honor for another person's religion ... but it is a false flag. The evidence in Europe is simple proof ... why is truth so difficult to see?

PS: Another thought, Europe killed 6 million "creative" Jews and traded that for 20 million "unproductive and dangerous" Muslims. Interesting article HERE.

I believe that if they start killing Europeans, especially in France, the Moslems’ fate will be sealed.

Contrary to the popular belief, the French population won’t take it and will indiscriminately slaughter the Moslems. This will spill to other West European countries and encourage their populations follow suit.

The Algerian war isn’t forgotten by the older French generation. They detest Arabs in general and Moslems in particular.

So far, the “youtes” torched tens of thousands of cars but didn’t murder French citizens en masse through explosions, Mumbai-types terrorism or executions. At least, not yet.

The weekly Friday prayers in the streets of Paris do a great disservice to the Moslems and cause the resentment of the French to reach critical mass.

Moslems are known to shoot themselves in the foot and always bet on the wrong horse.

This will be the start of their end in the Western World.

The larger reason is that the elite want to bring anti Western Muslims into Europe so as to hasten the demise of the nation State & Western civilization in general in order to better implement their Global government.

An excellent point!

It has occurred to me that flooding the US with illegal aliens and legal immigrants (from countries with cultures alien to ours) combined with the ideologies of political correctness, diversity, and moral equivalence is being done to destroy our traditional culture (based upon judeo-christian morals enhanced by a strong work ethic), destroy our middle class, and destroy our country as an independent sovereign nation.

***Why Do Radical Muslims Want to Kill Europeans?***

Because that is what moslems do! I just read that over ONE MILLION Europeans were kidnapped and taken captive to Africa by moslems over sevral centuries.

Why did moslems attack Iceland?

Why did moslems attack Baltimore, Ireland in 1631?

http://slavestoday.tripod.com/id4.html

“Muslim and Arab Turks have always been partial to European slaves and value them more than black slaves. European slaves were acquired through conquest, raids and piracy. As many as a million Christians were enslaved through piracy alone during the 1,200 or so years that Muslims preyed on merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Muslims in one raid on Iceland took 800 slaves while Muslim pirates ranged as far as Newfoundland. Nearly the entire population of the village of Baltimore in Ireland was enslaved during a Muslim raid in 1631 and other Muslim slave raids were launched against coastal villages in Devon and Cornwall. Many more Christians were enslaved through raids and military conquest. An article about Britains enslaved by Muslim raiders can be found here.***

Those were very different as invading armies vs. local armies, etc... In the time of terrorism, all the troops needed are in place stoked by the relentless stupidity and eventually revenge for slain family and friends.

This would be a much longer and a more vicious conflict with simmering long end, if it ever ends. It won't be a couple of armies are fighting in distant places.

“It has something to do with the constant inbreeding.”

Could not agree more. 50% marry first cousins in some countries, and polygamy creates an upside down family tree, where a whole tribe could have the same great grandfather. Consider Ibn Saud, founder of Saudi Arabia, who has over 50,000 direct descendants.

It’s not just infidels they kill, it’s their wives, their daughters, their male and female relatives, their neighbors, the villagers down the goat path, etc. They live to kill. They get their jollies from killing. Killing is all they understand. They can’t give a reason because there is no reason.
