The 9/11 attacks were not as many Americans (and others), believe, directed at freedom, democracy or Christianity (though it is the impression the culprits wanted to create). They were against commerce, military and the U.S. Government.
Similarly the war against Afghanistan and Iraq is not about attacking Islam (though some would have us believe it is). It is about natural resources. Oil in particular.
It should also be noted that groups like Al Queida, the Taliban et al are not Muslims though they claim to be. I mean that their actions are in direct opposition to the teachings of the Quoran and Mohammad. Even the wearing of the veil is not a Muslim ideal it is man-made.
I worry that all this violence in the Middle East will result in more fundamentalism. Mubarak and Gaddafi may appear to have been brutal dictators that oppressed their people (ok so there may be some truth there), but what will they be replaced with. Iraq is a very good example. Some might say that the Iraqi people are now worse off than under Saddam. It was not the breeding ground for fanatics before the war started because Saddam was secular. The war has created a passionate dislike for the West.
As Omid Djalili said "the fanatics are just trying to put the fun back into fundamentalism. Unfortunately they have forgotten the mental part."
