    Godfather.

    read the book "The Looming Tower" - Bin Laden and the hardcore funademantalist muslims needed a new enemy after Afghanistan defeated the Russians and since the US was the only superpower left it gave them an easy target to hate and to continue their campaign of power.
    The Looming Tower is an excellent book, well researched and very thorough about the many factors that gave rise to al Qaeda. As others have said, there's not a simple answer to your question but this book brings together more information than any other resource I've seen.

    It is also because they hate Christians.
    I remember after 9/11 seeing this al-Qaeda propaganda video on the news of terrorists training and storming into some house then shooting at a crucifix on the wall.
    They want a holy war against Christianity.
    Scary stuff.

    Posted this on one of the (too many) other OBL threads. It's an excellent 3-part BBC documentary from 2004 called "The Power of Nightmares" that examines the motivations of both radical Islamism and neoconservativism. There's a lot of answers to your question in there, Godfather. It's long, but it's well worth taking the time and the effort to watch.
