if your going to post stuff like that, please post one for the other side's opinion too, its only fair.
In the 1940s Theodr Herzl published a book on Zionism calling all Jews to return to Jerusalem. At this time Jerusalem was a sand-pit that was sustained by local Arabs that called themselves Palestinians. A flood of young jews returned to Jerusalem and made the biblical location a middle eastern power. The Palestinians, who are Islamic, were basically sidestepped and have tried to overthrow the alien yoke so that they can practice their religion without restraint, this goal follows the principles of Jihad, a practice shared by Osama Bin Laden, a wealthy Islamic terrorist who has Jihad in mind on a global level. Because the Israel government supports republican ideals and has a great deal of resources, the US sided with Israel and aided in the massacre of the native Palestinians. The "war" against Palestinians consists of their "terrorist" attacks against Israelis that are retaliated against with unprecedented brutality against innocent Muslims. The US knowingly supplied weapons and funds for the Israeli government to massacre Muslims. The attack against the US is likely a strike back for the hundreds of thousands of muslims dead as a result of US weapons. For several academics in the field, it wasn't a question of whether or not the palestinians would strike back at the states, it was a question of when.
Keeping in mind that a muslim life is worth just as much as an American life; the most reasonable action right now would be for America to withdraw its support for Israel. that's all. it's as simple as that. Of course, this'll never happen. Which is too bad.
Osama Bin Laden is actually bigger than all of this. His ties are not only with Palestine, but with all Islamic communities struggling to practice their faith in the midst of oppressive governments across the world. He is the poster boy for an Islamic planet. I saw his handiwork when I lived in Malaysia.
The one thing that we must keep in mind.
The most important thing, is to detach the stigma of "terrorists" from Muslims who do not believe in Jihad. I believe the worst consequence of all this will be an intense tide of racism towards those of middle-eastern origin.
