Reader comment on:
Senior Qaeda Theologian Urges His Followers To End Their Jihad
in response to reader comment: Respone to Islam

Submitted by Shareef Muhammad, Feb 13, 2008 19:28

I am pleased that such a figure in Al-Qaeda has renounced pseudo-jihad and recognizes the immorality of killing noncombatants. It is unfortunate that some of the commentors on this message board are less concerned with preserving civilization and more concerned with perpetuating an ongoing conflict between the Muslim world and the west. This goes for both Muslims as well as the people on this board. What I suggest you do is examine the bloody and oppressive history and see what insights it might provide into those whom your fighting. Or is it that your real aversion to Al-Qaeda is that they remind you of yourselves past and present. If you would like I would be more than willing to furnish you with a list of your sins against humanity upon which western civilization rests. Now the point here is not get into which is worse or shield the Muslim world of blame but to remind you that the success that this nation enjoys was built on violence.
