[edit] Characterization of first WTC attack as "largely ineffective"

Does anyone else think that characterization is too vague and should be adjusted to include the actual number of casualties, cost of property damage, and (perhaps) its signficance to the fundamentalist Jihad? Amysrobot 20:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] He did it?

Anyone notice that The_Lizard_Wizard took credit for an Israeli hotel bombing? [1]

[edit] Can we tone down the Anti Islam sentiment

Al Qaida and its infamous leader are not Muslims period. He is opportunist who used the religon of Islam to gain power and control.Like Hitler who used christinity when he attacked and killed millions of Jews during WW 2.I am disapointed as a liberal muslim that Islam is made fun here. IRA was a organisation with catholic members, does that mean the Roman Catholics are all terrorist?? Of course not my mother was a Roman Catholic and I was raised as a roman catholic and I know for a fact many roman catholics want peace in this world, so IRA bombed, they had their political agenda and they used religon. Same thing with Al Qaida

I belive wikipedia needs to tone down the anti Islam sentiment in all pages in reference to Osama and Al Qaida, or the other so called " ISLAMIST MILITANT GROUPS". This people in now way represent the teachings of Islam. Please be sensitive towards the religons of other people. We already have enough problems in the world and we dont want the crusades all over again. It is my understanding wikipedia is about spreading knowledge not HATE.

And if Osama is reading this, stop this hate, God never asked his people to kill in his name. Not religion condones violance. If you need to kill then what you subscribe is not a religion at all. Stop the murder of innnocent people!

New comments go to the bottom of the talk page, please. I really don't see what you mean here. Where in these pages do we make statements critical of islam? Where do we "make fun" of it? The only one who can say if a person is religious or not is that person. If Al-Q claims to be an militant islamist organisation, it is. Whether its interpretation of the Quran is correct is questionable. Where are we spreading "HATE"?

And by the way, Hitler never claimed to be christian. And if Osmama is reading this, could he please tell us whether he likes Whitney Houston or not? It would make our lives much easier. Thanks. yandman 13:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You can say that Osama is not Muslim, but he claims to be, his followers claim to be, and Muslims worldwide support him because he is Muslim and for no other reason. I have never seen anything on Wikipedia that unjustly attacks or stereotypes Muslims. The fact is that, as they point out, almost 60% of terrorism in the world is conducted by Islamic groups. These are simply the facts, and there is nothing unfair about posting the facts.
BTW, it would be helpful if the little blurb on "Liberal Muslims" had some statistics or references to back it up. Right now it is just a disclaimer from someone who doesn't like the article and serves no purpose. Jboyler 21:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
