WHY DO THEY ATTACK US? Islamics attack us because they want us to submit to Islam. According to Islamic scholarship the world is divided in two: 1) The House of Islam (dar al-Islam): nations submitted to Islamic rule. 2) The House of War (dar al-harb): nations that have not submitted to Islam, so it is incumbent on dar al-Islam to make war upon dar al-harb until all nations submit to the will of Allah and accept Sharia law!
