What I object to is the claim that fundamentalist Muslims were
attempting to change the entire world to conform to their
ideas. I don't see any reason to believe that was the purpose
of the attacks. The purpose was to inflict terror on those the
perps see as their enemy.
However, I see where I did read this more slanted than it was
stated and I apologize for that.
