The weakest argument in all human history, for war, was Bin Ladens, yet the polling data is very clear. Bin Ladens view is mainstream in Islam.
Even in here you hear western muslims speak of vague and ridiculous concepts like American "hegemony", which is floating standard that can simply always be asserted about most any country.
You simply must look at the arguments accepted by the mainstream of islamic culture (including in america) and conclude that peace is absolutely impossible.
Furthmore, Islam, like most religions, defines itself in contrast to a declared "enemy". However, Islam takes it the next step and makes outright violent war with the self declared "enemy" a duty. It matters not whether some Muslims dont believe this is the case because even the dumbest recognize that more than enough do believe it is the case, which is all that matters.
