Al-Qaeda is the modern equivalent of what Nazi Germany was in the last century. The reason I am writing this particular blog is that some muslims nationally have been critical that for example Christians have not condemned extremists Christians like Eric Rudolph or abortion doctors, the Ku Klux Klan and the like. One of the reasons why the government must focus on Al-Qaeda is because they are attempting to destroy civilization. One of the fundamental responsibilities of goverment is to maintain law and order. Without law and order the rest of society cannot properly function.
One of my concerns with continental Europe is that they had have the same attitude with Al-Qaeda as they did with Hitler. You cannot appease evil. You will give and give until you have nothing to give and then you become its slave.
The US and Great Britain have however taken a more aggressive stand against evil ie Al-Qaeda. Unfortunately this war we cannot fight by ourselves. We need the cooperation of the rest of the world. Historically we have fought against states with standing armies but now we are dealing with an organized network of terror spanning the globe that has no face. It could even be your next door neighbor. Al-Qaeda has proven it can strike any time and any where. Im not sure whether we have been lucky or had good intelligence that we have not been struck yet. I believe that this is a battle against evil itself. Not against muslims but those who claim the Islamic faith and use it for their hateful agenda. They are of course not genuine muslims in my opinion. Its a spiritual battle at the physical level.

I think the root of radical Islam is radical Islam itself. I think we don't need to look any further than the tenets of this particularly violent strain of the religion to explain it.
