Hey, we found the root cause of islamic terrorism!

It's the occupation of Spain by the Spanish, of course.

Al-Zawahiri is telling Muslims to to rise up in a holy war against Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza until Islam reigns from Spain to Iraq. A lot of people have commented on the Spain part of this statement, but I am wondering: why does he limit the Eastern border of the area to Iraq? What about the current Muslim countries to the east of Iraq? Don't they get to join the happy caliphate?
