Was It Al Qaeda?

Thanks for some intelligent dialogue, how refreshing! Being a religious person myself I have never understood this radical behavior by people purporting to be Muslims which is characterized as a peaceful very sobering religion, not one given to such well- irreligious behavior. I think Muslims get caught because on the one hand they believe in their religion and also realize the wetsern influences may not be desirable for their countries, western countries have their problems, we do. Politics and government are tricky for countries which have been ruled for millenia on the basis of religion. But the world is a new place for us all now. Times have changed irreversibly and we too need to change. These people strugggle to modernise and yet t the same time hold on dearly to their beliefs and religions and customes and traditions that they have practised for so long. It cant be easy, we should know. America's revololution was not easy nor was our civil war. But today our country is still one country instead of two, thank God!

Don't fall into the terrorist trap and start hating all muslims. That is what they want. They are attempting to decieve America into believing all muslims are murderers. That is their goal. But it's not the truth!

The Koran does not teach murdering innoncence. The Koran does not say it is ok to teach your children to hate. In the Koran, sucide is a sin, not a nobel action.

Don't lump all muslims in with the cowardly murderers attempting to deceive the world.

There is no Jihad, only a handfull of murdering cowards. It is time for the Muslim world to rise up against this evil that is highjacking your religion! The United States, despite all it's military might, cannot defeat this evil without the Muslim nations of the world leading the way!

Do you not know that Bhutto would not have been allowed back into the country if it had not been for the United States pressure for Democratic Elections?

It sadden's me to see that this radical islamic movement has effected your prespective. You have allowed these cowardly murderers to slant your views and you swallow their propaganda like it is nector.

Now for a decade, these murdering terrorist have highjacked the muslim faith, yet the Koran does not justify their actions. It is the terrorist that murder and use sucide bombers, not the CIA or any other rational reasonable person.

It is the goal of these radical terrorist to involved all muslim nations in their jihad, yet there is no jihad.....only a handfull of cowardly murderers that hide behind women and children and corrupt the minds of people like yourself!

Bhutto would not have even been back in the country if it had not been for the United States pressure for democratic elections. You sould like a Democratic Congressman or something!

My friend, allow me to ask you this. You seem to support this Radical Movement to take America down.....tell me where in the Koran does it say that it's ok during jihad to kill innocent women and children? Tell me where in the Koran does it say it is ok to teach your children to hate. Where in the Koran does it say that it's ok to committ sucide? Where does the Koran teach us that it's ok to strap bombs to children and blow them up?

There is no jihad.....just a handful of murdering cowards that hide behind women and children. If Muslim's read their Koran, the United States wouldn't have to be in this region. Muslim countries would be taking care of this problem. But because the Muslim nations aren't taking care of the problem, the United States has too!

To say the US is after the oil is a joke! The US is not controlling the oil in Iraq, the Iraqi's are......and it's still going to the same countries it was before the United States went into Iraq, France, Russia, China, and Germany. If your theory had any validity, it would all be going to the United States now....wouldn't it?

This is a typical terrorist attack, typical terrorist propaganda. Terrorist's goal is to create chaos........and just look how effective they are! Where are the good Muslim's? Where is the outcry and the anger for the terrorist's murders from the Muslim community?

Dear Faisal, "Reasons to believe that American behind his incident" is not the same as proof. That seems more like unsupported speculation to me, but that's your right I guess. You also said, "The fact is America is the real evil in the universe", so I'd be intrigued if you'd offer me your definition of the word "fact." It's always easy to blame America first, but such an approach either reveals an appalling ignorance of history, or a blind and willful stupidity. Since WW11, and a reasonable argument can be made for the time before, which other world power has been a comparable influence for good on the global scene, Pakistan? Yes, successive US governments, blinded by ideological biases, have made terrible misjudgments, but does this deny the reality that the general thrust of US policy has been for the good of the world? I challenge you to name one Muslim country that has consistently acted as an altruistic force, and not just out of narrow self-interest. I know that your perspective may be different as you're in a different place, but back your allegations with facts if you want to be taken seriously.

Well, I'm glad to see that you have this entire problem figured out. The fact is, everyone wants to blame the United States for all of the world's problems. But as soon as a country needs help who do they come crying too? The fact of the matter is that ALL countries are going to look out for the best interest of their own people. Yeah, I wish the world was perfect too, but it's not and it never has been and it never will be. I am in a position to where I can see first hand how the United States Government is treating the citizens in these so called war torn countries. The United States is doing nothing but helping these people. You people and your conspiracy theories. I guess 9/11 was also a conspiracy too huh? This has nothing to do with Islam. We didn't start this thing. We were hit first and it was justified because America is a land of the free which is seen as "Evil". The same as Israel. The bottom line is this *** has too stop, and it has nothing to do with the name of your God. But people are easily persuaded especially if they are controlled the way Saddam did the iraqis and the Taliban did Afghanistan. So before you pass judgement you need to see both sides of the fence.
