If your god commands it, won't you be inclined to support it?
If you reject the clear word of your god, are you not an apostate?
Hi, Mr. Elder,
At the end of the first hour of your program today, a caller identified as "Dan" mis-characterized as "foaming at the mouth" your explication of what actually motivates Jihad.
Do not allow yourself to be intimidated into self-doubt or silence by others' cowardly, misguided, politically-correct, civilizational self-loathing.
Dan and many others like him are afraid to admit what they intuitively conclude from both current events and the facts you presented today: Since Allah and his apostle require the converting, subduing and humiliating, and killing of non-Muslims to make the world Islam, every Muslim is an actual or potential supporter of the use of any means necessary -- including offensive warfare -- to establish the tyranny of Allah over all mankind.
This truth is too unpleasant to admit for the weak, witless, etiolated Western Infidel, so rather than direct his venom where it belongs -- against those who would rape and enslave his women and children and slaughter him like an animal -- he attacks the messenger.
The Source and Sustenance of Jihad are the words of Allah and the example of his prophet Mohammed. These are recorded in Islam's "sacred" texts. In light of this fact, it should be no surprise when Muslims actually try to fulfill them.
By the way, the implication of the term "Islamofascism" is a false one, and the term itself is redundant. There are moderate Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate. It is the jihadist and those who support him -- not the moderate -- who obey Allah and imitate his apostle.
Islamofascism is Islam.
Those who truly reject the "divine" mandate to engage in or support Jihad against Infidels ought to be termed, perhaps, "Islamomoderates."
Regards,
Amillennialist

Here is link to some thoughts on our leadership's aiding Jihadist propaganda (you're right to criticize the Left, and at least President Bush has our best and bravest slaughtering the enemies of Humanity, but he too defends the indefensible).
Here are some other posts related to what motivates our enemy.
