We've had discussions many times on these threads about the "God is on our side" phenomenon.

I fully understand that it is the position of many on this thread that God is on theirs.

Naturally.

Earlier I posted a link on here to an interview with bin Laden. But on GWB, I posted a few excerpts, too. Here, fyi, is that post. But i hope everyone will read the whole interview! IMO, it's about something rather important, the future of our world. Or could be if we don't get our heads out of the sand.

Excerpts from a scary 1999 interview:

The International Islamic Front for Jihad against the US and Israel has, by the grace of God, issued a crystal-clear fatwa [decree] calling on the Islamic nation to carry on jihad [holy war] aimed at liberating holy sites...

What I know is that those who risked their lives to earn the pleasure of God are real men...

Now infidels walk everywhere on the land where Mohammed was born and where the Koran was revealed to him...

Acquiring weapons for the defence of Muslims is a religious duty. If I have indeed acquired these weapons, then I thank God for enabling me to do so. And if I seek to acquire these weapons, I am carrying out a duty. It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harm on Muslims...

This blockade does not hurt us much. We expect to be rewarded by God...

Fighting is a part of our religion and our sharia [an Islamic legal code]. Those who love God and his Prophet and this religion cannot deny that. Whoever denies even a minor tenet of our religion commits the gravest sin in Islam...

Hostility towards America is a religious duty. We hope to be rewarded for it by God....
