An interview of the Hizbullah television station, Al-Manar, Yousef explains now Zionists must have been behind 9/11:

This Yousef statement very clear reveals how even the muslims who claimed themself to be "Moderate muslim", in the end, only blame ZIONIST and AMERICA in any bad matter happening to muslim world. This seems to me that the way how muslims world try to do a conspiracy against non muslim world to awake themself from their long sleeping beauty. Remember, the way how the muslims world put themself or campaign themself in a position of a VICTIM of current powerfull new world such as democracy and human right.

As in an article on an interview with Peter Seewald (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1997), that elaborates usefully on the pope's views on the rise of radical Islam, mentioned the core of the problem is THE WAY OF LIFE of islam is complitely contradict with current WAY OF LIVE of most of no muslim people, which may based on christianity offer to live on freedom way of life. I agree with the fact that superiority of nom muslim world (Christianity) based on the power on industry, politic and military. But I do not agree with the enhance of culture in the new society of new world. The lackness of current medernisation culture such we see now in the west, of course lack of MORAL messages base on islam value. It is correct as Peter Seewald said in his interview, that the great moral crisis of the Western world, which appears to be the Christian world, broke out. In the face of the deep moral contradictions of the West and of its internal helplessness – which was suddenly opposed by a new economic power of the Arab countries – the Islamic soul reawakened. We are somebody too; we know who we are; our religion is holding its ground; you don't have one any longer.

This message is very clear, the muslim world willing to do any conspiracy to replace the west place as superior. Very clear we can see how the conspiracy of anything can be facilitate to reach that goal. Using the islam religion who must be followed as it is, is the most powerfull tool to reach that goal. Of course islamism way using hardline way such as terrorist is one of the way too. But remember,the way is not only one. As we knew, islam doctrin will draging all muslims to help teh goal in anyway possible. Conspiracy to lie, to decieve people non muslim or muslims themself is also one way to gather the force of combatants.

Imagine, what Yousef said in the interview, is very essential for most muslims who heard what he said. hen no wonder all muslim people in this world willing to die for whatthey think a justice for humankind.... blame america, blame zionist, blame everyone who deal with them, blame even their own people who deal with the people who not fit with the way of achieving the goal.
