One of Zarqawi's plans was to incite war between Iran and America:

The group also planned to carry out terrorist attacks in the West and then plant evidence at the sites implicating the Iranians, Maliki's office said.

Loooks like the neocons and Zarqawi think alike, they both want the US to go to war with Iran.

Imagine, if Zarqawi had been successful, Americans would be pissed, and demand war with Iran.

And we would continue to play into the hands of Al-Q.
 
He was a clever man, this is exactly what I would do if I was in his position.

You don't fight your enemies, you make them fight each other and enjoy the show.
 
So what? Stalin was a tyrannical dictator, and wanted the US to fight Nazi Germany. That doesn't mean fighting Nazi Germany wasn't the correct path to follow.

Nothing new about this. It has long been the goal of Osama and Al Qaeda to incite a religous jihad involving all muslims vs the west.

Let's hold off on the "West" generalization.

Because I really hate being associated with nations that were stupid enough to invade Iraq.

Youre associated whether you like it or not. Have we already forgotten that plot to blow up Parliament and decapitate your PM?
 
...As a result of America's actions.

Ill will exists in Canada because of America. And I won't feed into the hatred and neither will Canadians. And in the end, we'll end up winning.

And no I don't live in a world where there are rainbows everywhere and the sun doesn't set.
 
I disagree AT, Canada is hated by extremists of all religions because of our open minded and progressive ways.
 
I disagree. People have always hated us for those reasons, not just religious groups.

They are a minority being brought out due to recent events. This is not justification for further laws which erode freedom and invasion of other countries and/or peoples.
 
Alpine Trooper it is that kind of ingnorant thinking that will keep us (THE WEST) from winning the War on Terror. Whether you like it or not, the Islamic Extremeists have been against the Capitalist West for much much longer than the time we have been in Iraq. Anyone in the West is a target, and they regard us all the same; the sooner you guys realize that we're all in the same boat, the sooner we can get to winning this war.

No.

Shias are heretics, Zarqawi hated them as much as he hated Americans. Iran is the biggest Shia country and it supports his enemies in southern Iraq. A war between Iran and US would serve his purpose - his enemies would fight each other and he would have free hands.

If you truly think that such a jihad wouldnt include Pro-gay marriage Canada you are naive to the nth degree.:lol:

Al-Q pretty much hates every liberal idea that Canada espouses. You may not be priority...but you are definitly on the list.

That doesn't make sense. If you are mad at America, you don't attack Canada.

Have no doubt al-Q and friends have hated Canada, because it has always been a part of the christian West, for a very long time.

Thought I agree with you I think Western presencein Iraq has facilicated this, while, however, in a way distracting the attention towards the US and UK and away from the rest of the west.

Actually, yes. Osama is on record as stating as much. In such recordings he makes no difference between the Shia or Sunni and in fact, views such a Jihad as a common goal between the two sects.

In response I simply point out that we were attacked way prior to any western presence in Iraq.

Well, Zarqawi probably didn't take that too seriously since he probably killed more Shias than anybody else.

But was his intent to kill Shias or promote unrest as a reason for backlash against occupying forces?
