Quote:Call Bin Laden a terrorist, In my opinion, his hate towards the west is justifiable. I do not comply with him, but I must admit that he is committing these acts for reasons understandable. However, he is not targeting the right people and is certainly not using the right tactics permissible in Islam. Islam is not a religion of civilian warfare - all attacks on any opponent should be in an organized, military form.American money is being used to buy weapons to kill Muslims. This is a known fact. That will anger people (including me), and I think this (along with several other issues regarding the US poking it's nose into places it doesn't belong) is reason enough for Bin Laden to want to take action against the West and Israel.See Rid,

The threads I create stir up conflict and great diolougue between Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Take Intuition here for example. He says that Bin Laden's hate for the west is justifiable. He also stated his reasons of why he thinks that way. Thank you Intuition for your honest answer. I pose this question, however. Did you know we give more aid to foreign nations than any other country on this planet?
<b>all attacks on any opponent should be in an organized, military form.</b>
If any country actually tried to fight like men and face our military in a said organized manner, no army would last more than two weeks against us. Bin Laden and the rest of the terrorists (in my eyes anyway) have to fight the way they are fighting to stand a chance.
