David Horowitz reviews an al-Qaeda manifesto:

The al-Qaeda statement asks: How can a Muslim accept humiliation and inferiority "when he knows that his nation was created to stand at the center of leadership, at the center of hegemony and rule, at the center of ability and sacrifice?

This is an important thing for the West to understand. This is not about our failure to grant religious tolerance or Western imperialism or any Western misdeed, except success in resisting jihad. It's about the frustration of Muslims who have been taught all their lives that the world must submit to Islamic law. Remember that "islam" means submission. But we Westerners have resisted and turned back the Muslim conquest of the World and through our material success have even made it less desirable or attractive to the common people.

But I can't say any of this any better than Horowitz already has. Read the whole thing.
