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

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.

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

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.

What? Osama is always talking about profits, business, oil prices. And religion--from Osama's himself:

"The entire West, with the exception of a few countries, supports this unfair, barbaric campaign, although there is no evidence of the involvement of the people of Afghanistan in what happened in America.

The people of Afghanistan had nothing to do with this matter. The campaign, however, continues to unjustly annihilate the villagers and civilians, children, women, and innocent people.

The positions of the two sides are very clear. Mass demonstrations have spread from the farthest point in the eastern part of the Islamic world to the farthest point in the western part of the Islamic world, and from Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan to the Arab world and Nigeria and Mauritania.

This clearly indicates the nature of this war. This war is fundamentally religious. The people of the East are Muslims. They sympathized with Muslims against the people of the West, who are the crusaders.
Those who try to cover this crystal clear fact, which the entire world has admitted, are deceiving the Islamic nation.
They are trying to deflect the attention of the Islamic nation from the truth of this conflict.
This fact is proven in the book of God Almighty and in the teachings of our messenger, may God's peace and blessings be upon him.
Under no circumstances should we forget this enmity between us and the infidels. For, the enmity is based on creed.
Muslims must stand together We must be loyal to the believers and those who believe that there is no God but Allah.
We should also renounce the atheists and infidels. It suffices me to seek God's help against them.
God says: "Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion."
It is a question of faith, not a war against terrorism, as Bush and Blair try to depict it...

From the horse's mouth himself.
