Perhaps you need to adddress that ignorance. 
You (and Denys) should read this :

http://www.afghan-web.com/history/articles/hypocrisies.html

Denys, as usual, you continue to post blatantly one-sided opinions which are
often based on misleading information.

You said :
You should know that bin Laden was a fundraiser in Pakistan during the
Soviet invasion and occupation, he was not a warrior. 

Yes, he did a lot of fund raising but read the page at :
http://www.guardian.co.uk/wtccrash/story/0,1300,551037,00.html
where is states "He led an assault in the siege of Jalalabad and took possession
of the "lucky" Kalashnikov which he now carries with him almost everywhere."

You should also read the part concerning the CIA connection with him.

I find it rather revealing that you mention the recent attack on a house in Iraq
where several women and children were killed by an US air strike and you are more
interested in discussing what kind of missile was used to commit the murders. Do
you have no compassion at all for the people that were killed?

As for the link you publish to Islamic Attacks...this is so misleading.

Please read the following link which explains that most Muslims are against the
extremist's actions and that it is totally wrong to lump all the atrocities under
just an Islam category.

http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/misc/extremism.htm

I hope this will help to educate you.

I have to agree, yet again, with everything James Byrne said in response to your
post and I find it incredible that you never seem to learn that your prejudicial,
conservative posts only serve to demonstrate your individual failings.

Cheers,

John Dunlop
