"Osama bin Laden uses the Islamic faith to justify his nationalist, anti-Western political agenda."You are a master of irony. I wonder how many readers caught it - you indicate that "vilifying" your enemies is paramount to terrorism, and then go on to "vilify" Falwell, Robertson, and Graham by comparing them to terrorist Osama bin Laden. Pretty funny stuff."Political leaders often wear religious disguises and exploit hatred in pursuit of their goals.
This brings me to the leaders of the religious right in this country.
For years they have vilified liberals, feminists, gays and whoever else opposes their conservative beliefs."
Of course, terrorists are not called terrorists because they engage in public political debate. They are called terrorists because they blow people up and fly airplanes into skyscrapers. It's too bad some people of freerepublic.com didn't realize you were joking. Some of them actually think you are too stupid to realize the difference.
I guess you can't really blame them. After all, journalists will often wear pious disguises and exploit hatred in pursuit of their goals. For years they have vilified conservatives, Christians, and whoever else opposes their liberal beliefs. Terrorists, all of them.
Have a nice day.
