Do you have any idea why bin Laden's first wife left him? I'm assuming all his other wives are still with him.

Is it possible that bin Laden is just insane and his family knows it? This is another serious possibility to consider.

Well, I am not a wealthy man. So I cannot understand the relationship very well.

Of course, I cannot understand Islamic religion. But in my family, wealthy or poor, blood is blood. We have always stuck by each other. I cannot believe that anyone would give me up, nor would I give up anyone, who was blood to me.

The UnaBomber's kin gave him up. That is so. But that is a Christian act. In his case it was murder which is against our faith. In the Muslim community no one has ever given up anyone, and murder seems to be an issue that is of minor concern.

Why would the American Islamic Community cover these people, these who destroyed the lives of thousands of families, for all this time and say nothing?

I think that may be because it's a different culture to them. That fellow Krinshy may be correct. I may believe that Islamics tend to protect their own against their professed belief that they are with us.

So perhaps I am a bigot. I might be correct to be one.
