Wikileaks Shenanigans

"The main point of the LtE was "We stuck our noses in everybody's business, and we got our noses bloodied."

Bin Laden and other Muslim extremist leaders have essentially manipulated the Quran to their liking in order to justify their actions. Today, al-Qaeda is a conglomerate of various other terrorist organizations that needed the financial backing of bin Laden. Before al-Qaeda, these factions had the similar goal of ridding Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and even the world of jahiliyya. Jahiliyya was the pagan world before Mohommed received his message, and is what fundamental Muslims now consider not only Christians, Jews, atheists, every other religion but Islam.....but also other Muslims who interact or align with Christians, Jews, etc., etc. The precedent for being considered jahiliyya is inconsistent and depends on the preconceived notions of whatever extremist is declaring it, but it has facilitated the unification of various groups. Repugnant Abomination offered Quranic scripture that obviously states the murder of disbelievers is against Sharia, but the would be leaders of al-Qaeda very early on found clever ways to leverage and misinterpret other portions of the Quran and Sharia to influence young Muslims into committing terrorist acts. The United States became their prime target during the first Gulf War, when Saudi Arabia asked our armed forces to deter Saddam Hussein in Kuwait. We did not stick our noses in anything without first being asked. Our presence there was necessary, warranted, and needed. Bin Laden found our presence in Saudi Arabia to be disgraceful, but it also allowed him to choose a target big enough to elevate his notoriety among fellow extremists. I find it hard to even imagine justifying statements like

[9/11] is what we deserved

because even if we did in fact deserve it, the intent of Muslim extremists was already well formed and clear to them.
