This is getting a bit ridiculous.
Don't ever make a connection between mainstream Sunni or Shi'a Islam and the rubbish that bin Laden and Al Qaeda preach.
Someone here is being well out of line with comments aimed at other people.
I'm Muslim, and I can assure you I don't go around wanting to murder every American I see, nor do I particularly want to wipe out the west, I'm lucky enough to live in a particularly nice part of England.
Again apparently a good 10%, another words MILLIONS of Muslims do not think that and are out to kill EVERYONE especially the United States. But you also have to realize it is not just a religious factor, the radicals are out to just kill the US because they do not like our way of life. They are even bombing the shit out Israel mainly because they have the same interests as the US.
I don't know where you have heard this, or who told you things like this, but even FOX News is not going to twist things in this kind of way. The first line is an absolutely absurd comment to make.
That video made me LOL! Yea lets see what a rapper has to say about foreign affairs. What are his credentials? or is he just talking out of spite? and the rest of your post is garbage. were the HELL did you get your education!? judging by your avatar i am guessing Liverpool? This is expected from someone coming from a school like that.
Look at the death toll from Laden, Umar Khadafy, and Saddam Hussein. you were brainwashed into thinking these people are not mass murders. Also there was NEVER freedom like what the US has in the Muslim world. You were just bought up to think that and then told the US stole there freedom. yet there is not ONE shred of proof showing that they were once a free thriving society.
Also i did not say they were [font="Verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans"]jealous of our freedom, they just do not like it. Did you know there are Muslims here in the US want to enforce sharia law, that is about as anti freedom as you can get. [/font]
First off, Liverpool is a city, not a school.
On the historical aspect, a lot of ideas and new technology came out of the Arab world a few hundred years ago. 'Algebra' is an Arabic-derived word itself. There was freedom, but complete freedom is rare in any country, today or in history.
The US prides itself on freedom of speech, those who want Sharia law are a minority, much like the BNP in England. You can happily ignore them.
Also bin Laden has not killed millions, he has killed thousands though through his actions. A million is a ridiculous exaggeration unless you want to blame him for the US going into Iraq and Afghanistan and killing innocent civilians, however unintentionally.
Anyway, points I would like to raise on bin Laden's death:
- The most powerful country in the world took 13 years to find him
- They then killed him straight away which is strange, even with Saddam they brought him into custody alive
- He was found 2 hours (60km) from Islamabad in a $1m compound in an affluent area of Pakistan
- The compound was less than 1km away from Pakistan's biggest military training camp
I suppose some element of the Pakistani military is corrupt. Also remember that the bin Laden family is ridiculously rich, Osama was one of 52 or so children, but his father was a millionaire, now that company he founded earns billions of dollars in construction. So bribery is not out of the question. Also remember there are sympathetic elements of Pakistani society to bin Laden's 'cause'.
