Is Osama really a man of faith?
Is Billy Graham? Was Increase Mather? They said they were. Can you read their minds?
Is this not a question for God, not you?

Is not "right" a subjective judgement? If I really, truly believe I'm right, am I not right, at least in my own mind, regardless of what you think?
Or are you saying the only way to be right is to follow the herd?
I'm no authority on Islam, but imho his faith is actually poor.
Koran
Ornaments of Gold 1[43.89]
