“And, of course, no conspiracy theory would be
complete unless Jews could somehow be blamed,
and one theory — especially prevalent in
the Muslim world — is that Israeli intelligence
bombed the [World Trade Center] towers [on 2001
September 11] in order to spur the United States
to go to war against the Muslim world.”

===================================

“Al Qaeda seeks to destroy
the Jewish state completely.

Much of its rhetoric and some of its attacks
suggest that it sees international Jewry
and Israel as interchangeable.

The group’s rhetoric is also viciously
anti-Semitic in addition to being anti-Israel.”

QUESTION:

This quote is only about Al Qaeda,
but should we believe that other
radical Islamic terrorist organizations,
with almost-identical beliefs,
would behave differently?

“Killing civilians, particularly Jews
and Americans, is deemed acceptable
[by Al Qaeda] when other targets
are too difficult to attack.”
