Also - so far - Bin Laden & Co.'s rhetoric has said nothing about religious differences, i.e.: Islam vs. Catholicism. They're not after devout Christians, they're after agnostic/athiestic capitalists - hence the focus on places of business and politics

I have a hard time accepting this, according to many at FR, Islamics are out to wipe out Christians and Jews.

Being a capitalist doesn't make you an atheist or agnostic btw.

Christians per se are not high on the OBL & Co. rhetoric list. Surely they're on the list, but the primary rallying cry is against "godless" capitialistic corruptors.

True, but on the whole capitalism does not blatantly express "Christian" principles, and instead generally operates as if God isn't there or isn't relevant. Supply & demand rules, and OBL & Co. despise that for what it breeds.
