Because we are not looking..........

Give the man a Cupie doll!! Imagine what happens when we announce his capture/death. I'd love to come thru here in a thousand years, and see if this is the creation of the next messiah. Gotta admit, Islam has some momentum going. The Rome vs. Jesus analogies are endless. The twenty first century is a lot of things....boring it ain't.

Maybe its just the long hair, beard, robe, and sandals that makes someone seem like a messiah after a thousand years. If thats the case, with all the musicians and hippies here in Athens, my soul is going to surely be saved. lololol

Naa man, OBL, his lunatic followers and their savage acts don't help Islam in any way, in fact, most of his victims, both directly and indirectly are Muslims. He is a blemish on Islam with his perverted beliefs that are completely contrary to the faith he claims to belong to.

O.B.L. is indeed a blight on modern Islam, unfortunately, Islam is growing the most quickly, in the least modern places...among the least educated humans. If I remember correctly, his original issue was non Muslims on "sacred" sand. He's in a position to become either venerated, or vilified...we'll see how it plays out. I'm no lover of any religion, and this one is particularly distastefull with the convert or die ethic.

Where did you get that idea from? That's like saying Christianity has a kill all abortion doctors ethic.

That is not true, just like it would be wrong to generalize anti-semitism to Christianity based on pogoms, the spanish inquisition, or the many other such excesses.

Judging a religion by the worst of it's adherents and fringe groups who distort the fundamental teachings of the faith and then to generalize such conclusions to the religion itself is not a fair judgement.
