Sometimes I think Islam is just like any other religion, with some extremist fantasists, but basicaly harmless.
looking up the defination of "cult" in the dictionary may be a wise idea here.

Sometimes I think Muslim extremists are a tool of the West (no denying we have used them in the past in Afghanistan against Russia and in Kosovo against Serbia)....and now we are using them again this time to serve as our "global enemy" in our pursuit of oil.
i am not sure russia is not bringing it full circle.
the west use afghanistan as a "afghan trap" - an effort to drag ussr in a vietnam style war. russia could be helping al quieda/taliban/keeping osama safe, to return the favour.. esp since their president is from an institute called KGB.
it could also be china - fior its in their interest to keep usa engaged.
also it could be pakistan cos afghanistan is their golden goose. they made a mad loot out of the soviet invasion of a'stan and now do so again. they also have an interest in keeping it going.
when oil ends 40 years on, the west will find it a lot easy to deal with jehadis. the game of attrition has to continue for 40 more years and then the showdown can come.

Then I think we really are in a clash of civilisations, between modernity and as Tony Blair said recently "pre-medieval religious fanatasism".
of all the lands that fell to islam, only iran and iraq had civilizations (and to some extent assyrians). and even from that, iraq has been arabificated no end. but iranians think of arabs in a way not unlike nazis think of negros - so less influnce.
however ALL the other lands, aside of iraq ad iran, that fell to islam were big time barbarian tribes/"army nations"(like turks for example where every turk was a fighter) back in the day. uzbegs, turks, mongols, afghans, pathans, tajiks, all the "stan" countries basically (which is where huns come from - from between the land of mongols and the land of turks). also north african Tuaregs. these peoples have produced
that background and a progressive ideology er .. cult like islam, makes for a very tough cocktail/nut to crack.
its not a clash of civilizations, but a clash of capitalist ex-colonials and ancient barbarism dressed up in mediaval ideology.
meanwhile iran when it turns bad, ill be a more difficult to handle than say afghanistan, for the same reason highy intelligent people make for far more dangerous criminals than normal thugs.

I remember several years ago when people were just beginning to wake up to these Islamists, one guy said he would fight to establish sharia law in England, and not rest until the green flag of Islam flew at 10 Downing Street. I thought then, and still think now that he was completely mad.
yes. thats the west. woke up to it only some years ago.
we knew it for 1000 years, we knew 9/11, madrid, bali and 7/7 was inevitable and our diplomats warned everyone for the last 50 years - no one listenned. now that you guys are getting the stick, you side with us eh !!
when hindus were slaughtered and flushed out of kashmir (the way china flushes tibetans from tibet to make it a chisese majority land) - no one in the west batted an eyelid. uno did not bother. their problem. two brown peoples fighting each other what the hell do we care.
but when one westerner dies we need to feel sorry and join the effort.
now face the music. now come to us as blair did, for logistical help and intelligence. india incidentally is second only to usa in terms of cooperation with israel when it comes to counter terrorism. so there - even the israelis with ther mossads and shin bets work with us on this.
and its only just begun the jihad.

But I've come to the conclusion that though these people might be mad, they are also very dangerous.
well better late than never, as they say.
