While I disagree with the generalisation present in the post (islam is not inherently any more violent than any other religion), the main pointers are right.
The "terrorists" or "insurgents" or whatever the fuck you want to call them don't really give a damn about anything other than power. When they call for conversion to Islam, what they really mean is conversion to their twisted version of Islam, which in turn means follow their leaders. They'll fight *any* group that they either see as a threat to their power, or a means to gain support. By targetting the US, they have an "enemy" that they can demonise in order to generate sympathy to create more recruits and thus, more power. That's not to say that the US didn't get themselves into this mess, I'm just saying if it wasn't the US, it'd be someone else, most likely a rival Islamic faction.
It's all a power game. The sad part is that the general education and propoganda levels over there make the average peon buy into it fully, because they simply don't see any other options.
