Many people ask what the terrorists want. New Sisyphus has an excellent post on this. Here's an excerpt:
One of the most common observations about World War II was that if only Western leaders had heeded what the National Socialist Worker's Party and its leader Adolph Hitler were saying, they would have known of the grave danger facing the world. After all, it's not as if the Nazi Party or its frenzied Fuhrer tried to hide what they were about.On the contrary, in speech after speech, newspaper after newspaper and book after book, Hitler and other senior Nazis laid out in some detail their plans for European domination, the destruction of parliamentary democracy and the elimination of the Jewish people.
Later he gets on to Al-Zarqawi. In case, you didn't catch Z-Man's (that's what the troops call him) latest rant. Here's an excerpt form Z-Man.
The speaker said democracy was based on un-Islamic beliefs and behaviors such as freedom of religion, rule of the people, freedom of expression, separation of religion and state, forming political parties and majority rule.He said that freedom of expression is allowed, "Even cursing God. This means that there is nothing sacred in democracy." He said Islam requires the rule of God and not the rule of "the majority or the people.
"We have declared a bitter war against the principle of democracy and all those who seek to enact it," the speaker, who was identified as Zarqawi, said in the tape posted on Sunday.
Candidates in elections are seeking to become demi-gods while those who vote for them are infidels. And with God as my witness, I have informed them (of our intentions).
By their own words, you will know them. The terrorists have declared themselves enemies of democracy and those who practice it are infidels. As we all know, the terrorists kill infidels.
