Theres a new Sheriff in town
-and hes got a holy mandate.
There are literally entire Islamic infrastructures dedicated to hate and whole societies that exist, seemingly, with a single minded devotion to maintaining that hate.
If Westerners were to leave the Mid East now, If Israel suddenly ceased to exist, etc., if there were peace in the Middle East (which could happen if we suspend rational thought processes), in the next decade, would Al Queda have no raison d'etre? No. They still have the Islamization of the Arab world on the agenda. I suppose they could focus on deposing repressive regimes in the Arab world, (although not real likely) of course only to impose their own repressive regime, called Wahhabism, kinda like sunni, but without the glitz......
I think we also have to acknowledge that part of Islams credo is just a basic hate of all things Western, except its technology where useful for jihad purposes, because it is seen as a threat to all things Moslem and actually that brings us to the core of the clash between Islam and a modern world...the West represents the modern world.......so there is virtually nothing, ultimately, we in the West could do to overcome orthodox Moslems hate.

20 Salafists arrested as Gaza group pushes into W.Bank
Ramallah (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Palestinian security forces arrested 20 Salafists, a senior source said Sunday after a Gaza-based group affiliated with Al-Qaeda confirmed it was operating in the West Bank for the first time.
But the Ramallah-based source denied that any of those arrested in a series of recent raids in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank had ties to the global jihadist group set up by the late Osama Bin-Laden.
Salafists adhere to a strict version of Islam that they say was practiced in the time of the prophet Mohammed. Some Salafists advocate Al-Qaeda's brand of global jihad while others are not involved in militancy.
