I'm not sure what you mean here, the FBI concluded that there was "clear and irrefutable" evidence linking al-Qaeda and bin Laden to the attacks.[326]And no-one believed him (or that the message was authentic), not even the CIA.
"June 6, 2006 – This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups, and was sent to the Muckraker Report by Mr. Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Usama Bin Laden.[1] (See bottom of this web page for Most Wanted page) In the e-mail, the question is asked, “Why doesn’t Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of September 11, 2001?” The FBI says on its Bin Laden web page that Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for “wanting” Bin Laden by saying, “In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world.”I'm not sure what you mean here, the FBI concluded that there was "clear and irrefutable" evidence linking al-Qaeda and bin Laden to the attacks.[326]
Perhaps you could provide the source for your claim so that a clearer picture may be revealed
I have just started to learn more then the basics of Islam, but I can still defend Islam because I see how happy my girlfriend is as a muslim, so bugger of with your negative words. I am tired of the atheists know more then you bullcrap.
This is simply not true.And no-one believed him (or that the message was authentic), not even the CIA.

On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” "

They didn't. That's what the way-back-machine is for:Did the people of the muckraker report think to archive any of the pages or quotations they are alleging occurred?
Read this article about science progress in Iran.
You shouldn't be surprised if you heard in the near future that Iran became a superpower.
It's time you let others believe what they want, it's free to be a Muslim, it's free to be Christian or any other religious view. Just top it, I heard your view enough.
And most of the differences are over small things.
In the "near" future ha?
You do understand that the article is about increased science activity internally in iran, right?
It isn't saying that it has become a world player. It still has a long way to go for that. Furthermore, their growth is primarily due to nuclear research. Perhaps instead of "superpower", you actually meant "nuclear power".
Off course, if you come from low activity and invest a bit into research, your increase in activity will be immense quickly.
In any case, you didn't actually answer my question. My question wasn't about the status of scientific activity in iran. It was about its implementation / compliance to "islamic rules" in your opinion. If the way it adheres to what they call islamic rules matches what you believe to be the "right rules".
You seem to say that the saudi's aren't true scotsma... err... muslims. So Iran is doing it "correctly"?
They're not getting their violent terrorist practices from Islamic scripture. They're revolutionary insurgent groups that popped up to kick the Westerners who are occupying their countries out and they tend to view their occupation as a sign that God isn't happy with the Muslim world. They took the suicide bombing tactics from non-Muslim groups like the Tamil Tigers, who use it in their own insurgency. There's nothing in Islam that supports any sort of suicide. It is a major sin, so obviously they're getting that from somewhere else. Traditional Islamic doctrine concerning warfare opposes killing women and children, IIRC. No mainstream religion supports such things as that's just psychopathic.
And again, why does the US and Israeli governments support terrorism exporters like KSA and arm jihadists? This is known fact, not some "conspiracy" you can lazily try to wave away.
We have access to multiple medias with conflicting biases and perspectives. Find the cross over points. Map the conflicts. Find where it is evident that the person reporting is aware of their bias and attempting to mitigate it.I don't live in Iran and I don't know how exactly their rules are implemented, the media
isn't enough source due to their bias.
I said Christianity, not the Bible. There's a difference between the two.
Christian teaching does not support slavery.
The things Paul said have to be put into context. He didn't tell slaves to revolt against their masters, most likely because that wouldn't end well (the slaves likely would've been slaughtered).
But Paul did say that slaves and their masters were equals before God, which was a pretty revolutionary statement in those times.
The prevailing view of the world at that time is that slaves deserved to be enslaved, they were less than others and the gods created those social divisions in the first place, and this was pleasing to them
Whereas the NT does not present that as being pleasing to God and plants the seeds for abolition by declaring masters and slaves equals.
The Jewish Bible isn't really pro-slavery, either, as the Jews were said to be enslaved by the Egyptians and God freed them. That God frees the captives is a leading tenet in Abrahamic religions.
Islam say portrait of the prophet is not right to do, what is weak about following the teaching?
The teaching says to wreak havoc if you feel insulted ?
That is pathetic.
There isn't. There's no christianity without the bible. Or someone reciting the stories of the bible through oral tradition. Without these stories, there wouldn't be any christianity, because nobody would know anything about it.
The bible does.
Dude..... the bible explicitly explains how slavery should be done. It's part of the biblical law. It explains in detail who your can enslave, for how long you can enslave them, how you can trick hebrew slaves into permanent slavery that your children can inherit, who you can buy slaves from, etc.
Why didn't he just call it an abomination while forbidding the practice?
Isn't that the only proper thing to say when it concerns slavery?
Why would a benevolent all powerfull god care about that?
It doesn't.
Nowhere is slavery condemned. Not even implicitly.
Au contraire, it basicly says "do it, it's fine".
Yet he didn't tell his subjects not to keep slaves. Instead, he regulates the practice.
Having what the Bible calls the Chosen People freed by the Chooser is not an indictment of slavery. At most, it is an indictment of the enslavement of that privileged group. And since the Bible claims that God specifically and explicitly endorsed chattel slavery and encoded its practices into Mosaic law, I see no justification for any sort of concept of egalitarianism.The Jewish Bible isn't really pro-slavery, either, as the Jews were said to be enslaved by the Egyptians and God freed them. That God frees the captives is a leading tenet in Abrahamic religions.
Still in denial. Have you ever spoken with these people, or otherwise radicalised ones that aren't associates but just sympathisers?
You should.
They don't call it suicide. They call it martyrdom.
They defend all their stuff with quran and hadith.
You can downplay it all you like. You can claim all you want that they "misunderstand it" or that the texts "aren't intended like that". Clearly they disagree. And while a minority, they are far too numberous to write them off as if they are an exceptional cult or something.
I can only repeat myself: I call it "being in denial" when people say that it has nothing to do with the religion. Clearly that isn't true. The trends, the amount of militia's, the level of sympathy, the internal barbaric "laws" and punishments,... they can't simply be cast aside and ignored.
