With all due respect, but I don't think the whole issue boils down to Israel vs the Arab world struggle. In fact, reducing it to just that one issue would be playing into the manipulators' hands, they like to have things kept simple to the good and the bad guys. Life isn't black and white, so even that very touchy issue is far more complex than who has killed more of whom and how.
I think the London affair proves this point. It turns out now that these were home grown muslims, most of them. And not Arabs, but of Pakistani descent.
This, as I see it, simply proves that no matter what anyone says, we are dealing with muslim vs christian struggle. To make matters more complex yet, it's the christians in this story who are big, rich and powerful, while the muslims are small, poor and though not powerless, definitely at a disadvantage in terms of power.
Consider. We, the christians, do have some standards related to human rights, one of which is free confession. So, a Saudi Arab CAN build a mosque in Rome or New York - now let's see somebody try to build a church in Jeddah. They will scream at our disregard for their beliefs, but will take it for granted that they owe no return favors, simply because they never said all faiths were the same before the eyes of the law. In fact, they made VERY sure they were all BUT the same, there being only one permitted religion.
Muslims HAVE penetrated Europe through Bosnia and Kosovo, the links of local leaders with Al Quaeda being public - yet nobody reacts. I suppose the US might be politically interested to have two permanent thorns stuck deeply into European thighs, but this is at best a fool's logic, because using Europe as a spring board, these same people will arrive in the US sooner or later.
It's known that some 9,000 mujahedeen, veterans from the Afghanistan war first against the Russians, then against the US, have married, settled down and obtained Bosnian passports - nobody sees anything strange in that, except the CIA which keeps warning about it, but nobody seems to listen. Since its "liberation" from us Serbs, Kosovo has used the time to become Europe's main supplier of drugs from Turkey (another much trusted NATO ally) and in white slave trade; estimates go as far as 70% of Europe's heroin and prostitution being controlled by Kosovo Albanians mostly. Nobody reacts.
What do you think will happen when Kosovo is granted independence, and even more power is passed on to politicians with known links to the underworld?
Then, a MUCH overlooked factor, the population boom. It's been a traditional strategy of the muslims to slowly gain territories by expanding their numbers. First one family of say 5 moves to say Sweden. Within 5-6 years, those 5 have become 10, with a child regularly due every year. And they are using local advanced health protection plans to get those countries to effectively subsidize this expansion. And while every child born on Swedish soil will have the right to Swedish nationality, it will be very much Albanian in heart, in culture and in religion.
Then, relatives are given guarantees for, so they arrive, and we see the same cycle replayed over and over again. But say 15-20 years later, you see the initial two families split into 8, 9 or more families, doing the same trick. Work out the dynamics and be appaled; remember, with Albanians, 5-6 kids is nothing to speak of, you start boasting at 10 kids and over. If memory serves, the current record is 21.
This is how they became the majority in Kosovo since 1945, using the old social security system, which legally subsidized families with with 3 kids and over. Many in fact lived by making kids, and of course, doing contraband on the side. Kosovo is mostly barren, poor farming land, with little natural resources excpet for boxite and some coal. Children are forbidden to go to schools, except religious schools. That's how it all works. The only thing holding them back being their vendetta, which lives on to this day - lex talions, eye for an eye, life for a life.
How will the west deal with this mentality, because it's this type of general mentality which breeds terrorism. This idea that man's laws are of no consequence in comparison with the laws of god, and Allah said multiply and spread the true faith. Did you know that islam has no concept of hell?
The methods you are ultimately forced to use are no less crude or savage than your enemy. The Brits devised a method in 1947, when they were engaged around the creation of Israel, and faced Arab muslim terrorism; each killed Arab hence muslim terrorist was wrapped in a pig skin. To muslims, this is a guarantee that their souls will never reach Allah. So they can't be mujahedeen, they can't be martyrs. Terrorism levels dropped off VERY sharply.
The ultimate potential of any enemy is not in what he can do to you, but in what he can make you do to defend yourself from him. Therein lies the greatest danger. Do the Brits now have to open concentration camps (which, by the way, they invented and used first in the Boer war in 1905), not as death camps, but as literally concentration camps, places where you lock up large groups to be able to keep an eye on them?
An interesting view of this can be seen in the movie "State of Siege" - if you haven't, by all means do see it.
