Eight years after the 9-11 attacks on America, more American voices call for a military retreat from foreign lands in the hopes we'll have peace with Islam. One thing we should never forget is that Islam's expansionist endeavors obey to their adherence to the teachings of their holy book. The Qur'an teaches that Muslims should fight until all unbelievers (non-Muslims) are subdued.
"Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them." (Surah 4:89)
"So, when you meet (in fight–Jihad in Allah's Causa) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)." (Surah 47:4)
Retreat will never bring peace.
"Let not the Unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the godly): they will never frustrate them. Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom you may not know, but whom Allah knows." (Surah 8:59-60, Ali translation).
For Islam to agree to back off from their holy calling would be a betrayal of Allah and taking the side of those that do not believe in him. No godly Muslim will ever be satisfied until the whole world, including America, is under total subjection to Islam.
