Missed points and opportunities

in his rebuttal, the author seems to be claiming that hi-jacked aircraft were not used to destroy the twin towers. It is dificult to translate, but he seems to suggest that they were in fact blown up presumably by the US armed forces (who else would have that much explosive to hand) What absolute rubbish!!!!

I am aware that jihad means striving, and has two meanings. The author miseed his opportunity however to rebut the claim made many times that the objective of all Muslims is the Islamification of the host country. That is the jihad we are talking about, not necessarilly armed sruggle. Having said that. Muslims have done plenty of that, and still would if they had the might. Skulking about in hills,and caves is about the mark these days, that and terror/suicide bombings. I asume that the Madrid, bombings, and the London tube bombings are also a dastardly plot to discredit the poor innocent so called radicals.

I have just carefully re-read the post, the authors mind is obviously made up, and facts merely get in the way. By the way, I understand that one plane did in fact hit the Pentagon, but caused little damage, at least compared to what the authors innocent and misunderstood brothers did. The mastermind behind this atrocity, if mastermind is the right word. Osama bin liner (not a spelling error) released a video clearly showing him holding his fingers up to his gleeful co-murderers as each atrocity was reported.
