Dedicated maybe, but I don't know if deeply would be the right word - if they were, they wouldn't consider things such as 9/11 in the first place. I think they've misunderstood something in the religion, which is what makes them extremists, and possibly quite rightly, terrorists, in the first place.

i believe now the only action open to people who truly what change but seek not to be terrorist is direct action. attacks on legitimate but not civillain targets such as the armed services and american interests (which are not occupied).
I think such attacks would be a far better way of going about doing things too. Political targets would be good too - after all, they're the ones in control and more responsible of what's going on that's despisable, not the general public.
