Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that
"medieval forces of radical Islam ... want to extinguish freedom."
“We want to see the
three great religions that sprang forth from our region – Judaism, Christianity
and Islam - coexist in peace and in mutual respect.
Yet, the medieval forces of radical Islam, whom you just saw storming the American embassies throughout the Middle East. Well, they oppose this,” he said.

“They seek supremacy over all Muslims. They are bent
on world conquest. They want to destroy Israel, Europe, America. They want to
extinguish freedom. They want to end the modern world,” he added.
Netanyahu described
the branches of “militant Islam,” which he said includes the rulers of Iran’s
Revolutionary Guards and al Qaeda.
“Despite their
differences,” he said, “they’re all rooted in the same bitter soil of
intolerance.”
“That intolerance
is directed first to their fellow Muslims, then to Christians, Jews, Buddhists,
Hindus, secular people - anyone who doesn’t submit to their
unforgiving creed. They want to drag humanity back to an age of unquestioning
dogma, unrelenting conflict,” Netanyahu said.
“They want to drag
humanity back to an age of unquestioning dogma, unrelenting conflict. I’m sure
of one thing: ultimately, they will fail. Ultimately, light will penetrate the
darkness,” he added.
