Osama bin Laden has always been very clear that his jihad depends upon the US and its allies for its globalization. His statements are filled with heavily ironic passages about the “partnership” that Al-Qaeda has with the Bush administration to carry on a war from which both sides benefit while trying to destroy each other. However rhetorical its language, this bizarre partnership is confirmed by the intimacy that so many Muslim militants enjoy with their Western enemies.

Like the 9/11 bombers, as well as those in Madrid and London after them, these men tend to be thoroughly integrated into Western societies, have non-Muslim friends and even girlfriends, and indulge in the whole array of Western pleasures, bars and nightclubs included. They are in this sense internal to the West they fight in every way.

As salaamu alaikum, i would like to comment that your lies you are putting up on website about Muslims is completely unacceptable in Islaam. Reason is because our beloved Messenger Muhammad(saw) said to never doubt another Muslim and he said this is the biggest form of lies and the Solution is to verify from our Muslim brothers and sisters if we hear bad news about them. Our Messenger(saw) said to help your Muslim brother whether he is an oppressor or whether he is oppressed and he said the way you help the oppressor is to stop him from doing oppression. The article by Faisal Devji needs to be removed because it is SLANDERING other Muslims which is not allowed in Islaam and the reason i say SLANDERING is because its NOT TRUE about them.

Do explain who has been slandered...

"....never to doubt another Muslim.." Now if I was to apply that to my "Christian" brothers and sisters, I'd be very naive. Let me see who can I use and example, well, let's take George Bush....
