thank you for making the point. Although it is rare to hear of Sufi Muslims being involved in homicide bombings, it is true that at any particular point someone might get to them and turn them into homicidal maniacs. This is what we are witnessing as a result of the charisma of Osama Bin Laden.

There is nothing to be admired about Osama bin Laden. He is a very wealthy man. He has never been oppressed. Yet he has been responsible for the oppression of others. Need I look further than the oppression of the women of Afghanistan to indicate why Islamism is a menace?
