Islam , Left or Right.....or left right, left right, left right.

Reader comment on item: Why the Left Loves Osama [and Saddam]

Submitted by Abdullah Al Osama (United Kingdom), Mar 19, 2003 at 06:45

Well,

We don't want left, we don't want right. We don't want Capitalism and paper money. We don't want interest or usery under any circumstances... . We don't want weapons of mass destruction, we don't even want extreme wealth. We want two things. Victory and domination of our own lands; we want to get our house in order. Some say, try and stop interfering with our lives. What we do in our countries has nothing to do with you. We don't want to buy your goods, we don't even want to trade with you unless it is absolutely necessary. But this message cannot be heard in your ... country...

I don't think that there is anything wrong with Death. It is the final destination, and it will overcome all of us. And through death, we the Muslims will see the light, because the closer we are to death and destruction, the more we become Muslim...From then on, as you create legions of uncontrolled people, a new more powerful wave will rise. And such comes the development of Islam and the help of Allah.
Submitting....
