Angela Merkel Quotes


Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Terror was brought to many countries on his direct orders and in his name, against men, women and children, Christians and Muslims. Osama Bin Laden claimed to be acting in the name of Islam, but in reality he made a mockery of the basic values of his and all other religions.

The difficulty lies on supporting the anti-terrorist Muslims and fighting the Islamic Terrorists without offending the former by conflating all Muslims together.
