Kramer,
The Hatfields vs McCoys is a common but fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of radical Islam and jihad. I think most Americans still don't get it. Until we really understand this we cannot move forward. A study of the last 50 years in Lebanon is very instructive and this wind is now blowing our way.
This is the face of radical Islam around the world and they don't want to be our friends... ever. It's not about US involvement in the middle east, colonialism, or oil, it's about world conquest plain and simple and the end of Western freedom and democracy.
From Wiki:
"The Brotherhood's stated goal is to instill the Qur'an and Sunnah as the "sole reference point for ...ordering the life of the Muslim family, individual, community ... and state." The organization seeks to make Muslim countries become Islamic caliphates, which includes the isolation of women and non-Muslims from public life.[10] The movement is also known for engaging in political violence. They were responsible for creating Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, who grew to infamy for its suicide bombings of Israelis during the first and second intifada.[10] Muslim brotherhood members are suspected to have assasinated political opponents like Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmoud an-Nukrashi Pasha.[9][10][11]"

There are definitely a majority of peaceful moderate Muslims who embrace modernism in the US but their voice is currently silent. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
