Just wanna make a comment, according to what I've read/seen in the news,
some of the hijackers, while still living in Florida just prior to the
attack, reportedly got drunk (correct me if I'm wrong, but the consumption
of alcohol is a no-no in Islam) and got lap dances at a strip bar... If
these people are strict, highly fundamenalist Muslims, what were they doing
getting drunk and going to strip bars? Not a judgement call or anything,
that just struck me as kind of odd. I mean yeah people can be hypocrites,
but if you're on a supposed mission to kill (and die) in the name of Allah,
shouldn't they be on their best behavior otherwise?
Oh and another comment -- Osama bin Laden is to Islam what David Koresh was
to Christianity.
