Hi Wade,
Religion is used as a weapon, or as an excuse in a weaker sense, by both
the east and the west. Religion is a weapon of war to cloud true
motives (resource disputes, fear for dominance) of aggression of
one group to the other has been reported as far as recorded history goes.
If Bin Laden stresses that there is no God by only Allah, why dis he end
his statement with: (or did the translator make an error?)
"God bear witness that I have conveyed the message. God bear witness that
I have conveyed the message. God bear witness that I have conveyed the
message.
God's peace and blessings be upon you"
Philip.
ps. I take your remark on `smitherines', oops... I mean `smithereens'...
