The thought just occured to me. Osama has declared war and sanctioned death to all American citizens in the name of Islam -- does that include American Muslims?
Were there any Muslims amongst the 5000?

I'm wondering if the Muslim community in Pakistan (and elsewhere) has considered that Osama has assigned all American Muslims to the Suicide Squad.

Not to mention the foreigners -
Some 150 Bangladeshi Muslims were serving as kitchen and waiting staff at Windows On The World that morning. And a number of office victims would statistically have been Muslims, too.

maybe it's just me, and maybe I'll get an earful, but why would anyone be stupid enough to believe that THEY should die for their God?
I'd NEVER die for my God, and I'm Catholic, but then again, maybe that's why, because the Catholic church has screwed it up for all of us people. Did God die for me? I really don't have any proof, only someone's interpretations of someone elses writings.
Would I want to be first in line to die for God, knowing that the person who told me I HAD to die for God, wasn't going to participate too? HELL FREAKIN' NO! Osamas' Muslims are as good as a cult. Nothing truely religious about it.
They knew there were SURE to be Muslims where they attacked, they simply have NO REGARDS for human life, period!

I don't know...
In Rome the Christians would walk up to the lions and say "Eat me." Martyrs to the cause that would eventually cause the greatest Empire in the world, the Empire that had crucified Christ, to become Christian.
The Kamikaze pilots at the end of WWII believed they would be rewarded in the after-life for serving God on earth (the Emperor). All (or most) citizens fo Japan held that the Emperor was a walking diety -- was everyone in Japan part of a cult?
That's a good question. How do you mark the difference between religious zealot and cult initiate?
American soldiers die for their country. They're trained to do it. They have it drilled into them. Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" wasn't the first to liken military training to brain-washing. Is the army a cult?
I'd die for my children. I'd probably even kill for them. We're capable of astonishing things...

I'm truly sorry to hear this, CH -
You're getting screwed on all fronts. Keep the faith, and I don't mean that jokingly. Best of luck to your uncle in his endeavors. Be well.
