Re: We killed Bin Laden! f*ck your Jihad! Hoorah Seals!!!!!!!!!!
You're right, hyperbole was the wrong word to use as as AQ and radical Islam do indeed profess a hatred of the west. My apologies.
However it is still the case that despite being shown exactly why AQ says they did what they did, you are still trying to make their motivation religion when the evidence says otherwise. Quoting single lines from religious texts does not count as proof of the motivation behind AQ attacks. Personally I think in discussions such as this we need to deal in facts rather than conjecture.
The biggest reason why I say this is that if one goes by your quote from quran, then their choice of countries to attack would be immense, few of which could come close to matching the USA in security, covert intelligence and the capacity to respond. It would have been far easier to attack another country.
I'm not trying to start a fight with you finfighter, I simply believe that open discussion is the best path to understanding. Obviously though, I am going to ignore anyone who accuses me of supporting Hitler or AQ, as that kind of thing is just not warranted and is in direct opposition with open discussion.
nb. It is important to note, that there are many different interpretations and translations of every part of the quran, as is true for the bible. As I showed earlier, any Christian with a mind to it could easily translate and interpret many parts of the Bible as justification for killing heathens.
finfighter said:powersam said:Your second paragraph is simple hyperbole. We have the stated reasons for their attack, that is what we have to go on. It is from the horses mouth. That is why they committed the heinous attack of 9/11. Those are the facts, as stated, as posted, in the public record and as agreed upon by advisors from your own government.
Really ''hyperbole'' huh??? Lets see....What did I say in my second paragraph????
