#1 He contended that even though the vast majority of Muslims firmly oppose terrorism, most believe that the West must understand that extremism and terror are difficult to eradicate as long as civilian Muslims face discrimination and are killed by western acts of war.

Asked for his honest opinion on the terrorist organization al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden, the imam said "I think this is something thats been made up." He also questioned whether the September 11 attacks were actually orchestrated by Muslims, and lent credence to so-called "conspiracy theories" that suggest otherwise.

Either he doesn't get out much or he's a brazen liar, LOL. I think I know which one applies here...

#2 Muslims just get more taqiya.

As the saying in the UK goes. If it's tacky, it's Paki.

Translation: "So long as you resist, we'll kill you."

#5 I was talking about the "Al Qaeda Doesn't Exist" theory last night in the "O Club," but under the leftist conspiracy theory viewpoint rather than the Moslem immigrant one:

The Left is always saying that Al Qaeda doesn't exist.

Do they have a plan if the face-behind-the-mask isn't Dick Chainey but instead a loose conspiracy of Sudanese, Saudis, and Pakistani intelligence agents?

(and later)

I know this sounds like an odd thing to say about a bunch of conspiracy theorists, but the truth is they are neither imaginitive enough or paranoid enough. Believing that Dick Cheney is the devil is "safe" compared to thinking that the 9/11 attacks were really orchestrated by a foreign nuclear-armed state via proxies.

(but wait, there's more)

Beelzechainey could, after all, be thwarted by a bunch of ace rookie reporters just like Trickey Dick was. In WPL (Hmm. Western Plaguelands?) they'd just behead the reporter like they did to Daniel Pearl.

Negative flip sides to "Al Qaeda doesn't exist" for Moslem immigrants instead of rage-against-my-allowance twentysomething high school students are left as an exercise for the reader.

#6 The question is, what will the conspiracy folks think in 2008 if a lefty administration gets into office and Al Queda continues?

#7 Um, that we deserve it and, of course, it's Bush's fault?

I'm just guessing here...

So Osama "Doesn't Exist"?

Aha! Now I wondering...

Hmmm... They both have beards, but the North Pole would seem awfully uncomfortable for someone from Saudi Arabia... But Norway is awfully close to 90 Degress North, so maybe the "Imam" has info we don't?
