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?

Being convinced that one is right, and being right are two different things.
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]
So turn away from them and say, Peace, for they shall soon come to know.

Would you like me to show you just how many contradictory verses can be found in the Bible? It will be an opportunity for you to illustrate you have a large supply of verbal slipperiness to try to wiggle free of them.

The notion of "holy war," is actually self-contradicting. If God really wants one side to win, they will win regardless of the actions of men. If God is really on your side, then there is no need to be a terrorist.

Then if God wants poverty wiped out and health care for all, there;s no need for any of us to do anything, is there? These things will happen regardless of the actions of men.
