I have Muslim friends and they are perfectly normal. And so are the Muslims that plan mischief and are in waiting to execute it.
They think Bin Laden is a nut case.
The can only say that Bin Laden is a nut case. So can those who don't think Bin Laden is a nut case.
Many American Muslims are middle-class professionals who have a good life here and would not risk all their have achieved for this murderer Bin Laden.
Then by the word of their holy book, and the commands of their prophet, they are not Muslims, which makes them infidels.
Sad, but true.
"Many American Muslims are middle-class professionals who have a good life here and would not risk all they have achieved for this murderer Bin Laden."
That sort of caught my eye, too. And after 20 years in the country one day they suddenly up and go to Bosnia or Afghanistan to fight the infidel and leave their families behind who are interviewed on TV and say 'but he wouldn't hurt a fly, he is such a peaceful, loving family man...'
Many have not returned. (Goody goody) but the Australian government is now taking care of the families 'cos muslim women don't/can't/won't go to work.
Lawrence of Arabia commented on this. (I'll paraphrase from memory...Seven Pillars of Wisdom.)
Some day a 'prophet' with dirty feet and wearing rags will come along and they will follow him to the ends of the earth and to their death.
Just ask their wives and families. Poof! and they are gone. Killing infidels is what really matters. To all of them. And that includes the wealthy, the educated.
