The letter mentions those things and others and says that if we do not meet ALL of the demands of the letter, the fuckface will not call off his war. It says it. Read it again.

If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation.

We have debated the "grievances" you talk about. Our presence in the Middle East has been justified, and Bin Laden is an evil religious fanatic for wanting to kill "all" Americans over it and the other bizarre bullshit he talks about. Israel is a democracy, and protecting democracy was a very important objective during the Cold War. It is the moral thing to do any way, and it is necessary to do it now. Our aid to and trade with Iraq was never an obligation, so we did not "starve" Iraqis. At some point, you need to admit how religiously nutty that wack job Bin Laden is. Do you admit it?

I asked you a question in another thread, and you did not answer it. Why are you so obsessively supportive of Islam? You are a French Canadian who claims to not be a Muslim, so what exactly is your deal with all of this? You are not just obsessed with Islamic causes. You are obsessed with acting as some kind of internet attorney for Islamofascists. I really don't get this. You put so much energy into taking up for the most insanely evil people in the world. Why?

I don't support Al Qaeda or their views about civilans being legitimate targets...I stated that a few times before, im just giving showing Al Qaeda's views in greater detail so that people can get it from the horses mouth so to speak....

Then you should have posted the entire letter.

Since you claim you do not support Bin Laden's sick propaganda, let's see you speak out against it as passionately as you have spoken against the United States. I would like to see the full scope of how much you really are against Al Qaeda. Go off against them, if you really detest what they do. Show us the full extent of your passion.
