Re: I\'ve been Thinking
<font color="red">I disagee with the that overall assessment, and note that bin-Laden and Zarqawi have made clear in public statements that the religious nature of their actions is paramount (see the article I linked in another thread which quotes both Zarqawi ans bin-Laden; in one of these quotes, their opposition to democracy in Iraq states that any laws made by man are a form of apostasy, because man-made laws would result in man being ruled by men instead of by Allah's laws as set forth in the Koran. Other quotes exist too.). </font>
THIS is a very interesting subject! It is a fact that people with higher IQ's tend not to believe in Gods, religions, etc. Do you really think that all those who masterminded 9/11 are dumb enough to believe in their stated religious cause? I'm not saying they aren't... Certainly those that carried out the attack were. But it would be highly presumptious and ill-advised on our part to overlook political motivations.
