"When you are weak, take advantage of the protections of the society you live in, and work on growing more powerful."
If that statement holds true, then the hijackers would have been still waiting to strike the towers.
"When you are stronger, start demanding to be accomodated by those around you. Demand they cease doing things that "offend" you, and create trouble for those that criticise you."
So, are they weak and hiding, or strong and demanding?
They can't be both.
"When you are in control, liquidate those who oppose you, and terrorise the rest."
I can post CIA info sheets on many countries in the world with predominantly Muslim populations where Christians and other religions stll exist.
"American Muslims were in stage I, are now in stage II, and dream of stage III."
What do you have to substantiate any part of that statement? Keep in mind, we are talking about American Muslims here.
We are talking about two distinct groups. The hijackers were NOT American Muslims. Different dynamics apply to them. The American Muslim community might have preferred to stay less visible a bit longer. Osama's group wanted to stir the pot a bit. They wanted to force the issue so that Muslims would be forced to choose which side they were on (and be labeled apostates if they failed to choose Osama)

Read my statement again, paying attention to the key word "oppose".
In which Muslim country can a Christian safely stand on a street corner and preach that Mohammod was a false prophet, and that the only salvation comes through Jesus Christ?
Yes, there are Muslim countries where a Christian can survive, as long as he keeps his faith to himself, and stays inconspicuous.
