all the other stuff you wrote about one huge islamic nation is sort of made up, is it not?

Not by me. What do you think bin Laden's goal is? That's what Arab thinkers have been talking about for over a thousand years, ever since the original Muslim caliphate started by Muhammad broke into pieces, starting with the Fatimids in the 10th century. Every Muslim royal from then on, going all the way to the Ottoman Caliphs tried to reconstitute this empire. Fortunately, the Ottomans, who came closest to this goal, controlled most of the Middle East before we discovered uses for oil other than lighting lamps.

Where do you see the libyians expressing this? Why are you putting them in that worst type of senario?
