They only want to get rid of the westernized society in THEIR Islamic countries. And, by the way, they are not highly organized. And the argument you have for the Koran, I believe, is exaggerated. It's more of the idea of getting rid of all fake muslims; those who claim to be muslim, but are not... corrupt muslims, in otherwords. That is who they believe they can kill with justice in the name of Islam.

I just thought I'd mention that if these extremists believe they are justified by the Koran in these actions, they are quite wrong. I read a passage from the Koran that explicitly stated (by Muhammad himself) "You must never kill a muslim. To kill another muslim is to kill us all". Now I'm sure these assholes justify it by declaring muslims "not real muslims", but in reality they can't justify their bullshit.

Friggin' hell it's frustrating how no matter what rules you lay down, somebody can rationalize breaking them completely.
