Poverty? Osama bin Laden is rich!! I guess we need to redistribute our wealth to the Taliban! What a freaking IDIOT!!

It has nothing to do with poverty. During the great depression we had many people with severe poverty but with abundant character, who shared their breadcrumbs with their neighbors for the most part, and returned to the pews of Christian churches to thank God and have some hope for the future although things were bleak. Christianity does not preach to kill the infidels. Christianity is the one religion that is compatible with all other beliefs since it believes in free will and EVERYONE is a child of God and of equal worth to Him.

Islam is not about hope, it is about killing the unbelievers. It is about submitting. It is about totalitarianism. There is no free will....you get killed if you exercise it. It is evil and needs to be abolished or at least contained.

Poverty? Osama bin Laden is rich!!

And every one of the 9/11 terrorists had good educations and came from wealthy backgrounds. Anyone blaming poverty for Islamic radicalism is a fool who'd rather deal with tired cliches and straw-men than reality. It's a sign of how much trouble we're in that we've placed such an un-serious thinker in the White House.
