ie, satisfying religious rules that before killing Americans, we must be invited to Islam.
Bin Laden was criticized after 9/11 for failing to sufficiently warn Americans and for failing to invite them to Islam.
He's also spent time preparing the muslim world for a nuclear attack on US soil by satisfying religious criteria with respect to such an attack.
The Muslim faith has specific religious rules for nuclear attacks? You guys have been watching too much Fox News...
Edit: Speaking of which, I'm glad to see that terrorism isn't working at all :roll: Some random dumbass puts out a video on the internet and everyone is shitting their pants. This is EXACTLY the kind of response they want, where they can just say "boo" and everyone jumps. You know how you REALLY defeat "terrah"? Stop being so terrorized! That doesn't mean stop trying to fight the terrorists, it just means suck it up and stop being so afraid until the job is done. It's not really that hard, we have internalized all sorts of threats, most of them far more dangerous if we're really beind honest with ourselves, what's one more? So some crazy idiot might blow up the subway next time I ride it down to the national mall...not going to stop me from living my life.
That's the problem with terrorism, the job is never done, at least not militarily. And those people that listened to bin Laden in 2001, give him the finger, and went to work in the Twin Towers or Pentagon? Me thinks they should've sh!tted in their pants and went the other way. This is what happens when our gov't pisses people off and try to sh!t on them via despotic regimes across the globe. It comes back and bites us in the ass. It always does.
That crazy idiot might blow up a subway car, with him and a couple of hundreds of people in it. Or he might blow up a city with him and a couple of millions of people in it. I don't want to be around and I don't want to be caught in the middle of terrorists who I did not pick a fight with and a government whose policies I do not support. Nevertheless, just as the terrorists people have suffered, so will we. Anyway you look at it, this sucks.
It's best to just leave people alone.
