Most of it was political a time ago but now it is more about religion. Al -Qaeda will always back up the muslim countries even though Al-Qaeda have killed more muslims in Irag than coalltion forces.
Al-Qeada stated that 'they will continue the war until their religion prevails" And "Western civilization will become a Islamic state, the whole world is our battlefield" and I read today they have started to attack buddishts in Southern Thailand. Basically there war is with every religion, every way of life on this planet except theirs.

This will never end as the No.2 says and I can see it boiling over one day to a War with Muslims V Civilization. People who live in civilised countries who are being attacked are now beginning to get the message as to what these terroists want and so are starting to retaliate & form groups amongst themselves.
This will never stop as the religion/believes are so different and this has all come from mixing those believes together too much. Muslims say westerners are Immoral, Dirty Living people and the westerners say muslims are Violent, Hate Preaching murderers who will never accept any way of life but their own. I live in a city where there is a lot of this mix going on and the divide is so obvious with more and more people from both sides becoming angry.
If this is just about Jihad then it wont stop ever and as Al-Qaeda said "there will be no treatys or agreements"
what makes me angry is that people in my country are walking around with banners threatening to kill all westerens and that has been allowed, but as soon as a westerner stands up against it, they are arrested and chucked in prison and called racist.
Civilization will continue and will not be beaten !
