No shortage of ugly Americans here.........

You guys who paint the world's Muslims as idiots and bin Laden lovers need to consider that he has and is receiving a minuscule amount of public support from Muslims around the world. Aside from the handful of relatively tiny demonstrations that happened after the early bombing of Afghanistan, Muslims have spoken very loudly about their opinion of bin Laden by saying very little at all.

There are certainly many disaffected Muslims around the world who blame the US for their troubles, rightly or wrongly. It is a very small and, frankly, extremist fraction who idolize bin Laden. To be taken in by their hype is exactly the kind of polarization that bin Laden is hoping to create. He may have fooled a couple of posters here but I'm betting that most Muslims and most Americans are not so easily duped.
