Your nebulous invented generalities don't count. The soldiers of the opposition are invisible until they blow themselves up. I think that's why people keep wanting to go back to the olden days. It's more comforting to know that all the enemy is in one place. /BAH

The extremists wish to eradicate all Western living styles. This includes capitalism. The reason is because capitalism allows people to make their own choices. Islam is a religion that tells everybody how to live their lives, in all aspects. They can't even buy shoes unless the shoe has been approved by the clerics (I think those are the people who do this work). /BAH
