Why Al Qaeda Is Doomed, from Pat Dollard's blog

For the second time in little over a month, we are watching Al Qaeda get it’s ass kicked by fellow Muslims. As I type, the Lebanese Army is blasting Al Qaeda Jihadis to death, just weeks after the Sunnis of Al Anbar did the same and cleansed themselves of the terrorist interlopers.
Al Qaeda is a profit-driven criminal enterprise that utilizes religious philosophy, specifically Sharia law, to recruit, motivate and control the personnel necessary to execute its criminal endeavors. And therein lies its achilles heel. It must deliver on its promise of the Sharia state, and utltimately the Sharia planet, or lose its footsoldiers. In both the Al Anbar province and Lebanon, Al Qaeda attempted to establish Sharia states ruled by Al Qaeda members. This, of course, threatened those who were already in power.
Ultimately, every society will have a predominant power ( governance ) which will be comprised of identifiable individuals. Al Qaeda has gained traction in the Muslim world with it’s promise of Islamic conquest of non-Islamic nations. However, the fact that Al Qaeda will also have to gain governmental control of Muslim nations has been overlooked by the Muslim world. In other words, Al Qaeda, given it’s essential and defining promise of a “perfect” Sharia world, must not only overthrow non-Muslim governments, but all Muslim governments as well, since none currently meet the standards of Al Qaeda’s “perfect” Sharia state. And, more importantly, none of them are populated by members of Al Qaeda. The Sunnis of Al Anbar turned on Al Qaeda not because of being “fed up” with Al Qaeda-caused civilian casualties and other such difficulties of war, but because Al Qaeda literally attempted to establish Al Anbar as a Sharia state under its own governmental control. Once Al Qaeda started operating Sharia courts and other Sharia processes, the Sunni Sheiks who currently rule Al Anbar took up arms and ejected them.
The same is now happening in Lebanon.
Ever society has rulers. The current rulers of Islam, like any rulers, are not prone to abdicating their power. Ultimately, the war on terror will only be won when Islam, the host body to the parasite of Jihad, stops supporting the terrorists, and in fact roots them out and destroys them.
The terrorists, by definition, have always given the Islamic powers that be the motive to destroy them. The powers that be have been too busy being amused by Al Qaeda’s tweaking of the West’s nose to confront the threat Al Qaeda poses to their rule. And the average Muslim is a human being who does not want to live within the impossible strictures of Sharia law. The moment of critical mass may be near, and our global war may be ended by the hand that fed it.
