What if all the Muslims of the world decide to side with bin hiding.

Not possible ... not enough caves for all of them to hide in. They have an interesting concept of a hero ... one who runs and hides while the innocent are out dying for something he did. If he was a true hero he would give himself up to save his people ... but he has no people ... he's a clown. The Muslims should put the blame where it belongs ... on him and on themselves for promoting hatred. The Muslims shoud have been using all that energy to help their fellow Muslims out of poverty instead of taking shots at America who they don't stand a chance at destroying. If they had as much love for each other as they seem to have hatred for America they wouldn't suffer so much economically.

By siding with bin Laden the Muslims are saying they should be able to kill Americans and get away with it ... I guess America will have to teach them a lesson. Did they really think they could kill Americans and not suffer consequences? I guess it's like that Palestinian kid who throws a rock at an army tank and thinks he can get away with it or that throwing one little rock has all of a sudden made him strong. It takes a real idiot to think that way ... I guess that child is just an example of a larger problem. These people sure could use an education in something other than their own religion ... their knowledge base seems limited.

Hi Lorne.

That's already going on of course. Same vandal attacked two mosque's near Toronto on the weekend. A friend of mine said it would happen on 912 and his wife wouldn't believe him.

I think everyone has to decide, but especially the muslims who are amongst us. Not only do they have to do a better job convincing us that this is not part of their religion, but they must be percieved to be acting in that manner. I have yet to hear of a mosque cleaning out the bad apples and turning them over to the authorities.

I also think that it's in the best interest of the USA to not catch Binnie too quickly. They have yet to let us know who the anthrax was sent by. Even when they find him, they may just wait him out and finish everything else necessary in Afghanistan. It might be on to Iraq, or Pakistan or ... after and there's no hurry to create new theatre's of war. All the while there's the homeland security to set up and a lot of investigation to do.

Scary times indeed. I have not yet heard of Israel's retaliation for the assassination of Zeevi. I remember seeing Arafat on TV on 911 and thinking he was dead meat. Maybe the Israelis will wait for the right time to do him in with just one shot.

Truly scary times, you're right.

Regards

Bob
