Yes they do.
They think a lot of what we accept as a normal part of life, in a free society, is sinful. They want everyone else to join their religion and follow their belief system.
Re: What Did They Die For?
i was in the army 2 years ago
and about 6 months ago i was sat watching the news and guess wat they told me a good mate in the army he had died in iraq also one mate went to iraq about 2months before it kicked off to sercure the oil fields!!

No they don't.
If the words come directly from the mouths of the Jihadists for all to hear, and appear on videotape for all to see, who are you to call them liars?
I take them at their word.
You claim to know better...could you explain how you come by this highly-privileged knowledge?

Nope, Christianity teaches forgiveness, not fatwah.
You're still as predictable btw.
Re: What Did They Die For?
Would it be fair to say that they don't like our beliefs or way of life, but that they attacked us for something else?
If you look back bin laden was upset not that we are infidels but because we infidels had our military in his land.
They "hate us for our freedoms" makes a for a great soundbite to stir emotions but less of a reason that they attacked us.
This is a very simplified take and not meant to cover all the nuances

Would it be fair to say this qualifies as a nuance?
Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are merely the tree which springs from the root being fertilized by Wahhibism, and the Moqtada al Sadrs and Nasrallahs of the Islamic world.
The mal-intent toward the west is interwoven with Islam at every level, inculcated in children from the earliest stages.
Allahu Akbar! is on every student's lips.
This creates a fervor for the "cause" which isn't altered or short-circuited by any gestures of appeasement such as removal of a troop-force.
We are not going to desert Israel, either.
Simply put, not even "re-deployment" and a commensurate lessening of influence can undo their efforts to date.
Do you propose the U.N. undertake to de-program Islamic youth in it's entirety?
That's several nuances, actually.
