I know wot I think. Lets do a head count!
9/11 was about 2000 people, i think. About another 50 for 7/7. Probably some more from other bombings around the world, say 500
So, Osama – 2550 Bush and Blair – 0
Anyone else got numbers for the ‘defenders of democracy’. US and UK casualties in Iraq, Iraqi casualties in Iraq (have we started counting those yet?), Iraqi deaths caused by the embargo’s on trade before the war, US and UK casualties in Afghanistan(dunno if they count, cos chasin down Osama might be seen as a legitimate response!) etc, etc.
It would be interestin to see what the totals would add up to.
From what I’ve read:
The UN imposed sanctions are reported by UNICEF to have killed 500,000 children in Iraq at a mortality rate of 200 deaths a day. Civilian casualites figures in iraq reached between 30,000 and 45,000 recently according to the coalition although they are different counts and one group put it at 100,000 last year. Also the rate’s been increasing exponentially with 1,800 civilians killed last month. For it’s part the United States has has lost between 2,5000 and 3,500 soldiers (officially) to date with 10 times as many casualties reported. And since last week they’ve been in Iraq longer than they were involved in the Second World War…

They are nutcases all of them :you_crazy :you_crazy :you_crazy :you_crazy
Yes!:you_crazy:you_crazy
Each as bad as each other.. Tony Blairs lips are superglued to George Bush’s ass so he’ll do anything George wants him too
They’re all terrorists in one way or another
They’re all terrorists in one way or another
Innit, I voted for all three
:laugh_at::laugh_at: me too…. :groucho::groucho:
YES i agree
Power hungery or shall i say Oil hungry!
Bush is told what to do by the southern oil barons who put him in power.
Osama well he thinks god tells him what to do…….Nutter!!
Tony, well hes just a sheep.
On the whole they are all BONKERS !!!
and tonys wife, dont get me started on her!!
Thanks for the response, I thought I was just doin a thread, not a poll. Ha ha!
IMHO Osama is a pretty bad sort, and Tony is not much better – but maybe not so clever!
GBJ however, is a deeply wicked man. Not only has he caused inumerable deaths in Iraq, with his disgraceful ‘crusade’, he is a murderer of children who are as yet unborn.
That sounds a bit odd, but he is the one man holding us back from tackling the worst effects of the climate change to come.
Imho, many people have already died (in the last few years), from the first effects of climate change. As for the future, how many will die because GBJ has been chasing shadows since 9/11, and ignoring the oncoming tidal wave that is human-induced climate change.
Imho, the 6 years of inaction (7 by the time he leaves office), that we have suffered, will mean an increase of about 15 ppm/CO2, over what we would have had anyway. Lookin at the evidence, i predict that this will cause an extra 10 million deaths over the next hundred years!
Its arguable. I am quite happy to admit that I might be out by a factor of 10, or maybe even a 100… in either direction!:hopeless: :hopeless:
Wotever, he is a stinkin mass murderer, and may be worse than Hitler and Stalin… put together:hopeless: :hopeless:
I’m off for a beer…
As cassette boy once said ” George Bush is an islamic fundamentalist obviously”
They are all as bad as each other and wouldn’t be suprised if all three of them had regular conference calls and swapped recipies and muderous plots and the like.
all the families are known to one another, particularly the Bush and Bin Laden family. its a modern time tribal war with the worlds population being used as pawns in their power games…

I have already said that I am not
involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to
avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of
innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids
causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Such a practice is forbidden
even in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every
maltreatment on women, children, and common people of other faiths, particularly the
followers of Islam

trust me its an inexplicably simple world out there do not go with the flow of this society please.
Pakistani newspaper Ummat on 28 September, place and date of interview not given. The first
paragraph is Ummat’s introduction.
Kabul: Prominent Arab mojahed [holy warrior] Usamah Bin-Ladin has said that he or his
al-Qa’idah group has nothing to do with the 11 September suicidal attacks in Washington and
New York. He said the US government should find the attackers within the country. In an
exclusive interview with daily “Ummat”, he said these attacks could be the act of those who
are part of the American system and are rebelling against it and working for some other
system. Or, Usamah said, this could be the act of those who want to make the current
century a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity.
Or, the American Jews, who are opposed to President Bush ever since the Florida elections,
might be the masterminds of this act. There is also a great possibility of the involvement
of US intelligence agencies, which need billions of dollars worth of funds every year. He
said there is a government within the government in the United States. The secret agencies,
he said, should be asked as to who are behind the attacks. Usamah said support for attack
on Afghanistan was a matter of need for some Muslim countries and compulsion for others.
However, he said, he was thankful to the courageous people of Pakistan who erected a
bulwark before the wrong forces. He added that the Islamic world was attaching great
expectations with Pakistan and, in time of need, “we will protect this bulwark by
sacrificing of lives”. Following is the interview in full detail:
Ummat: You have been accused of involvement in the attacks in New York and Washington. What
do you want to say about this? If you are not involved, who might be?
Usamah: In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful. Praise be to Allah,
Who is the creator of the whole universe and Who Made the earth as an abode for peace, for
the whole mankind. Allah is the Sustainer, who sent Prophet Muhammad for our guidance. I am
thankful to The Ummat Group of Publications, which gave me the opportunity to convey my
viewpoint to the people, particularly the valiant and Momin [true Muslim] people of
Pakistan who refused to believe in lie of the demon. I have already said that I am not
involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to
avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of
innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids
causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people. Such a practice is forbidden
ever in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every
maltreatment on women, children, and common people of other faiths, particularly the
followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient
to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel. There is also a warning for
those Muslim countries, which witnessed all these as a silent spectator. What had earlier
been done to the innocent people of Iraq, Chechnya, and Bosnia? Only one conclusion could
be derived from the indifference of the United States and the West to these acts of terror
and the patronage of the tyrants by these powers that America is an anti-Islamic power and
it is patronizing the anti-Islamic forces. Its friendship with the Muslim countries is just
a show, rather deceit. By enticing or intimidating these countries, the United States is
forcing them to play a role of its choice. Put a glance all around and you will see that
the slaves of the United States are either rulers or enemies [of Muslims].
The US has no friends, nor does it want to keep any because the prerequisite of friendship
is to come to the level of the friend or consider him at par with you. America does not
want to see anyone equal to it. It expects slavery from others. Therefore, other countries
are either its slaves or subordinates. However, our case is different. We have pledged
slavery to God Almighty alone and after this pledge there is no possibility to become the
slave of someone else. If we do that, it will be disregardful to both our Sustainer and his
fellow beings. Most of the world nations upholding their freedom are the religious ones,
which are the enemies of United States, or the latter itself considers them as its enemies.
Or
The countries, which do not agree to become its slaves, such as China, Iran, Libya, Cuba,
Syria, and the former Russia [as received]. Whoever committed the act of 11 September are
not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the
American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American
people have been killed. According to my information, the death toll is much higher than
what the US government has stated. But the Bush administration does not want the panic to
spread. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within
itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those
who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a
century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation,
country, or ideology could survive. They can be any one, from Russia to Israel and from
India to Serbia. In the US itself, there are dozens of well-organized and well-equipped
groups, which are capable of causing a large-scale destruction. Then you cannot forget the
American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and
want to avenge him. Then there are intelligence agencies in the US, which require billions
of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This [funding
issue] was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that
the budget of these agencies has been in danger. They needed an enemy. So, they first
started propaganda against Usamah and Taleban and then this incident happened. You see, the
Bush administration approved a budget of 40bn dollars. Where will this huge amount go? It
will be provided to the same agencies, which need huge funds and want to exert their
importance. Now they will spend the money for their expansion and for increasing their
importance. I will give you an example. Drug smugglers from all over the world are in
contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics
cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the
US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show
performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug
baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat. In the same way, whether it is
President Bush or any other US president, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human
rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there
exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must
be asked as to who made the attacks.
Ummat: A number of world countries have joined the call of the United States for launching
an attack on Afghanistan. These also include a number of Muslim countries. Will Al-Qa’idah
declare a jihad against these countries as well?
Usamah: I must say that my duty is just to awaken the Muslims; to tell them as to what is
good for them and what is not. What does Islam says and what the enemies of Islam want?
Al-Qa’idah was set up to wage a jihad against infidelity, particularly to encounter the
onslaught of the infidel countries against the Islamic states. Jihad is the sixth
undeclared element of Islam. [The first five being the basic holy words of Islam, prayers,
fast, pilgrimage to Mecca, and giving alms] Every anti-Islamic person is afraid of it.
Al-Qa’idah wants to keep this element alive and active and make it part of the daily life
of the Muslims. It wants to give it the status of worship. We are not against any Islamic
country nor we consider a war against an Islamic country as jihad. We are in favour of
armed jihad only against those infidel countries, which are killing innocent Muslim men,
women, and children just because they are Muslims. Supporting the US act is the need of
some Muslim countries and the compulsion of others. However, they should think as to what
will remain of their religious and moral position if they support the attack of the
Christians and the Jews on a Muslim country like Afghanistan. The orders of Islamic
shari’ah [jurisprudence] for such individuals, organizations, and countries are clear and
all the scholars of the Muslim brotherhood are unanimous on them. We will do the same,
which is being ordered by the Amir ol-Momenin [the commander of the faithful] Mola Omar and
the Islamic scholars. The hearts of the people of Muslim countries are beating with the
call of jihad. We are grateful to them.
Ummat: The losses caused in the attacks in New York and Washington have proved that giving
an economic blow to the US is not too difficult. US experts admit that a few more such
attacks can bring down the American economy. Why is al-Qa’idah not targeting their economic
pillars?
Usamah: I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against
the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to
mortgage their political and economic freedom. This system is totally in control of the
American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the
American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to
the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it
is Israel, which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the US is not uttering a
single word.
Ummat: Why is harm not caused to the enemies of Islam through other means, apart from the
armed struggle? For instance, inciting the Muslims to boycott Western products, banks,
shipping lines, and TV channels.
Usamah: The first thing is that Western products could only be boycotted when the Muslim
fraternity is fully awakened and organized. Secondly, the Muslim companies should become
self-sufficient in producing goods equal to the products of Western companies. Economic
boycott of the West is not possible unless economic self-sufficiency is attained and
substitute products are brought out. You see that wealth is scattered all across the Muslim
world but not a single TV channel has been acquired which can preach Islamic injunctions
according to modern requirements and attain an international influence. Muslim traders and
philanthropists should make it a point that if the weapon of public opinion is to be used,
it is to be kept in the hand. Today’s world is of public opinion and the fates of nations
are determined through its pressure. Once the tools for building public opinion are
obtained, everything that you asked for can be done.
Ummat: The entire propaganda about your struggle has so far been made by the Western media.
But no information is being received from your sources about the network of Al-Qa’idah and
its jihadi successes. Would you comment?
Usamah: In fact, the Western media is left with nothing else. It has no other theme to
survive for a long time. Then we have many other things to do. The struggle for jihad and
the successes are for the sake of Allah and not to annoy His bondsmen. Our silence is our
real propaganda. Rejections, explanations, or corrigendum only waste your time and through
them, the enemy wants you to engage in things which are not of use to you. These things are
pulling you away from your cause. The Western media is unleashing such a baseless
propaganda, which make us surprise but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually
they themselves become captive of this propaganda. They become afraid of it and begin to
cause harm to themselves. Terror is the most dreaded weapon in modern age and the Western
media is mercilessly using it against its own people. It can add fear and helplessness in
the psyche of the people of Europe and the United States. It means that what the enemies of
the United States cannot do, its media is doing that. You can understand as to what will be
the performance of the nation in a war, which suffers from fear and helplessness.
Ummat: What will the impact of the freeze of al-Qa’idah accounts by the US?
Usamah: God opens up ways for those who work for Him. Freezing of accounts will not make
any difference for Al-Qa’idah or other jihad groups. With the grace of Allah, al-Qa’idah
has more than three such alternative financial system, which are all separate and totally
independent from each other. This system is operating under the patronage of those who love
jihad. What to say of the United States, even the combined world cannot budge these people
from their path. These people are not in hundreds but in thousands and millions. Al-Qa’idah
comprises of such modern educated youths who are aware of the cracks inside the Western
financial system as they are aware of the lines in their hands. These are the very flaws of
the Western fiscal system, which are becoming a noose for it and this system could not
recuperate in spite of the passage of so many days.
Ummat: Are there other safe areas other than Afghanistan, where you can continue jihad?
Usamah: There are areas in all parts of the world where strong jihadi forces are present,
from Indonesia to Algeria, from Kabul to Chechnya, from Bosnia to Sudan, and from Burma to
Kashmir. Then it is not the problem of my person. I am helpless fellowman of God,
constantly in the fear of my accountability before God. It is not the question of Usamah
but of Islam and, in Islam too, of jihad. Thanks to God, those waging a jihad can walk
today with their heads raised. Jihad was still present when there was no Usamah and it will
remain as such even when Usamah is no longer there. Allah opens up ways and creates loves
in the hearts of people for those who walk on the path of Allah with their lives, property,
and children. Believe it, through jihad, a man gets everything he desires. And the biggest
desire of a Muslim is the after life. Martyrdom is the shortest way of attaining an eternal
life.
Ummat: What do you say about the Pakistan government policy on Afghanistan attack?
Usamah: We are thankful to the Momin and valiant people of Pakistan who erected a blockade
in front of the wrong forces and stood in the first file of battle. Pakistan is a great
hope for the Islamic brotherhood. Its people are awakened, organized, and rich in the
spirit of faith. They backed Afghanistan in its war against the Soviet Union and extended
every help to the mojahedin and the Afghan people. Then these are very Pakistanis who are
standing shoulder by shoulder with the Taleban. If such people emerge in just two
countries, the domination of the West will diminish in a matter of days. Our hearts beat
with Pakistan and, God forbid, if a difficult time comes we will protect it with our blood.
Pakistan is sacred for us like a place of worship. We are the people of jihad and fighting
for the defence of Pakistan is the best of all jihads to us. It does not matter for us as
to who rules Pakistan. The important thing is that the spirit of jihad is alive and
stronger in the hearts of the Pakistani people.
