What We Fight
Pan-Islamism is the political entity our enemy has adopted; a theocratic state, political Islam. His dream is to re-create a Caliphate in the Muslim world and march it across the globe. Nostalgic for medieval times when Islam was the better civilization and the West was weak.
Political Islam is fascistic; taking away the rights of women, subjugating minorities under dhimmi laws (think Jim Crow), and making war in the name of religious superiority.
Why did they attack us? Islamo-fascism is threatened by freedom more than anything else, and the United States is the brightest beacon of freedom in the world. Freedom's threat to political Islam is that their women can no longer be subjugated, minorities can no longer be harassed, and their religon can no longer be imposed.
The Islamo-fascists are not capable of a traditional war with great forces, instead they rely on asymmetrical warfare; terrorism, hijackings, suicide attacks (martyrdom), bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, beheadings, a PR campaign, drawing on the welfare state of the west, not wearing uniforms, a divided command structure, utility of the internet, etc..
Al-Qeada and their ilk depend on western resources because they do not possess the capability to carry out their attacks independently. On 9/11 the terrorists didn't use planes made or flown from a Muslim state; they had to use American planes as their weapons. The internet was not invented by a Muslim; it's a product of western creativity.
Just as democracy cleansed the Christian world of theocracy under monarchs appointed by divine right, so too shall democracy and the ideals of the enlightenment free Islam.
