The latest release from Al Qaeda, just last week on Al Jazeera, they had a videotape of Bin Laden talking to the 9/11 hijackers and they were talking about how 9/11 was in retaliation for Bosnia and Chechenya.
Just a reminder, the US was on the side of the Muslims in Bosnia, against the Catholic Croatians and the Orthodox Serbs, and we have zero to do with Chechenya.
Not about Israel/Palestine at all.
Go figure.
If only it was as easy as you believe. Kiss the Jews goodbye, we become Bin Laden's best buddies.
Not so fast, what about Saudi Arabia selling us oil too cheap (one of his complaints)?
What about letting our women run around half naked (another of his complaints)?
What about the fact that we refuse to submit to Allah (his biggest complaint)?
If we do everything Bin Laden wants -- hmmm, that's not my idea of the way to live my life.
You go right ahead, though. Move to Afghanistan or Pakistan, convert to Islam, get circumcized, grow a beard, make your women wear burkas, and then you'll be safe. |
