No true Scotsman fallacy.

The Bombers of 9/11 and the ideology behind them is well known. All one must do is listen to the man who sent them.

“Hostility toward America is a religious duty, and we hope to be rewarded for it by God . . . . I am confident that Muslims will be able to end the legend of the so-called superpower that is America”
We—with God's help—call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.” Feb. 1998 - Bin Laden edict

``We are seeking to incite the (Islamic) nation to rise up to liberate its land and to (conduct) jihad (holy war) for the sake of God.” — al-Jazeera, June 1999.

“`I was never afraid of death ... As Muslims, we believe that when we die, we go to heaven. Before a battle, God sends us ... tranquility.” — Independent, 1993.

“I'm fighting so I can die a martyr and go to heaven to meet God. Our fight now is against the Americans.” — Osama bin Laden, quoted by Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper

“We declared jihad against the US government, because the US government is unjust, criminal and tyrannical. It has committed acts that are extremely unjust, hideous and criminal whether directly or through its support of the Israeli occupation.” - Osama bin Laden - to CNN in March 1997

” . . . For the American forces to expect anything from me personally reflects a very narrow perception. Thousands of millions of Muslims are angry. The Americans should expect reactions from the Muslim world that are proportionate to the injustice they inflict.” to Time Magazine Dec 1998

Responding to the question “are you trying to acquire chemical and nuclear weapons?”

“Acquiring weapons for the defense of Muslims is a religious duty. If I have indeed acquired these weapons, then I thank God for enabling me to do so. And if I seek to acquire these weapons, I am carrying out a duty. It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harm on Muslims.” Time Magazine Dec 1998

==No true Scotsman fallacy.

The only thing you can say at this point is that it may be a no true Scotsman fallacy, and it may not. In the one case where I produced actually documentary evidence, it demonstrated that 71% of Hezbollah so-called “Party of God” suicide bombers were in fact secular Communist and socialist revolutionaries.

==The Bombers of 9/11 and the ideology behind them is well known. All one must do is listen to the man who sent them.

Do you consider Marxist-Leninist liberation theologians in Latin America and Africa to be Christian? Do you consider the Marxist-Leninist IRA to be Catholic?
