An eye-opening essay:
FROM THE PIECE:
"Islamist terrorists are not motivated by grievances, real or imagined, nor by old religious doctrines in and of themselves, but by the perception that their enemies are weak and that Allah -- after many years -- is again willing to grant victory to Muslim fighters.
But Islamists' certainty is not settled by one example. Allah's will must be ascertained by Muslims again and again.
The success of non-Islamic military operations is measured in terms of territory conquered or lost; in terms of governments defended, formed, or overthrown; or in terms of policies changed or maintained.
For the Islamist force, success is measured by how many Muslims become convinced that The Time Is Now.
In this regard, the much-maligned description "War on Terror" is exactly correct. Americans are fighting to ensure that most Muslims continue to believe that The Time Is NOT Now...by defeating those who pop their heads up for violent jihad.
But all of bin Laden's evidence comes from the infidel response to terror attacks and military engagements. How does this tie into the case of alleged Ft. Hood shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan?
Bin Laden recruits terrorists by claiming lack of Western resolve to fight. Hasan is alleged to have verbally the resolve of the "system," both verbally and in writing -- and again and again he found it lacking. In doing so, he came to the same conclusion as bin Laden: that The Time Is Now. And Allah is indeed granting victory to Muslims. By blindly failing to disabuse Hasan of this belief, Americans "created the terrorist" in the form of the Ft. Hood shooter."
