    It depends who exactly you're talking about. Bin Laden's group? It's probably both.

    However, the point is, we didn't get attacked because they want to convert us. They've told us repeatedly why we were attacked: our foreign policy in the Middle East.

    The religious fanaticism is a seperate issue that's always woven into the issue of terrorism. One doesn't cause the other. They may have a positive correlation, but anyone who's taken a statistics class knows that doesn't really mean anything.

    Gotta love these messages reminding everyone to be scared around important dates.

    Now Fox can remind people how they sound just like liberals too!

    These guys must have good publicists. National press coverage anytime.

    Heehee ... that's funny! I'm sure Americans are flocking to the mosques because Osama told them to. :D

    Religious extremists are idiots.

    When the Muslims take over, I'll be an infidel. Until then, as long as the Christians are still running things around here, I'll continue to refer to myself as a heathen. :D

  • from the video:

    Gadahn spoke for much of the video, saying he wanted to correct the incorrect image Americans have of Islam.

    He described the West as “the civilization which enslaved Africa, slaughtered native Americans, fired bombs at ... Tokyo and (the Iraqi city of) Fallujah and nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”

    He said it shows more concern for archaeological sites, like statues of Buddha destroyed by Afghanistan’s former Taliban rulers, “than it shows of the people of Afghanistan and Iraq.”

    He said “ignorance” of Islam “causes the people of the West to rapturously applaud when Israel perpetrates wholesale slaughter of Muslims in Lebanon and Palestine and leads them to give their consent to the atrocities that governments commit in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the Muslim world.”



    sounds like some stuff i read on this board.
