I admit I find hypocrisy distracting, even if I agree with the message being preached.
It's like the drunkard who, while intoxicated by his liquor, rails against the dangers of drugs. I agree that taking drugs is a bad idea but shouldn't you sober up first before you get on your soapbox about them?
As Jesus said, pull the mote out of your own eye first.

Why is this "my side"?
Quote:You could do the same with atheist terrorism if you wanted, the Red Army Faction come to mind.
Is there a cause/effect relationship at work? Does not believing in God or in any religion inherently promote violence?
Quote:That Osama binliner is a muslim is a minor point that the US gov used to focus the hatred.
I would agree that America and the West have done much that is wrong in the Mid-East. However, have you read Bin Laden's manifesto? What angers the radical Muslim world is the encroachment of secularism and the threat that has for their way of life.
