Yes - With the non-Moslem world or non-Moslem opponents, there can be only one solution - a cease fire until Moslems can gain more power. It is an eternal war until the end of days. Peace can only come if the Islamic side wins. The two civilizations can only have periods of cease-fires. And this idea of cease-fire is based on a very important historical precedent, which, incidentally, Yasser Arafat referred to when he spoke in Johannesburg after he signed the Oslo agreement with Israel.
Whatever the prophet is supposed have done becomes a precedent. What Arafat said was, "Remember the story of Hudaybiya." The prophet had made an agreement there with the tribe of Kuraish for 10 years. But then he trained 10,000 soldiers and within two years marched on their city of Mecca.
The terrorists come from the most fundamental of the four schools of Islam called Hanbali, mainly coming out of Saudi Arabia. They don’t even try to interpret the Koran, but take it literally. Like our own fundamentalist Christians only seem to take literally those parts of the Bible that fit their own prejudices or practice, not everything, so it is with these terrorists.
There are various perspectives in Islam with different interpretations over the centuries. There were good people that were very enlightened in Islam that tried to understand things differently. They even brought traditions from the mouth of the prophet that women and children should not be killed in war.These more liberal streams do exist, but there is one thing that is very important for us to remember. The Hanbali school of law is extremely strict, and today this is the school that is behind most of the terrorist powers. Even if we talk about the existence of other schools of Islamic law, when we're talking about fighting against the Jews, or fighting against the Christian world led by America, it is the Hanbali school of law that is being followed. To the terrorists, because the western civilization is so driven by materialism, it is not only been seen as a religious opponent, but as a dam stopping Islam from achieving the final goal for which it was created.
Islam was created to be the army of God, the army of Allah. Every single Moslem is a soldier in this army. Every single Moslem that dies in fighting for the spread of Islam is a shaheed (martyr) no matter how he dies, because this is an eternal war between the two civilizations. It's not a war that stops. This was is there because it was created by Allah. Islam must be the ruler. Not that much different than what many fundamentalist Christians feel.
If we just exterminate the Hanbali’s it would be like them just exterminating the Baptists and Pentecostals, or did “koop” mean 25% of the world’s population? Might not be the answer. Still in the Sudan that’s what they’re up too – why aren’t we talking about that and just Iraq?
