    According to bin Laden, he didn't:

    Additionally, according to the FBI he is not wanted for the attack on the WTC on September 11, 2001. You can check the FBI most wanted page about him.

    Let me just go out on a limb here and declare that bin Laden most likely had nothing at all to do with hating us for our freedoms, planes crashing, buildings exploding, FBI and CIA interfering with investigations, and the subsequent wars.

    Funny it is indeed, that while al Qaeda supposedly hates us for our freedoms, that with the erosion of the Bill of Rights ongoing, soon, al Qaeda may have very little to hate us for!

    I think bin Laden is probably dead, probably had nothing to do with 911, and al Qaeda is mostly propaganda.

    Oh! I would also like to add that it seems the only difference between an ally/freedom fighter and a dictator/terrorist is that one receives U.S. support, and the other used to receive U.S. support!

    So you are not amused, :shrug: seems to be a common affliction among Muslims, and in my America color doesn't matter, in the America of my friends color doesn't matter, now Character, that is a entirely different matter.

    Martin Luther King;

    My four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.​


    It seems to my observation, it is the liberals who all to often judge people by the Color of their Skin, and never even look at the Content of their Character.

    and as most of your observations have very little to do with reality and more to do with your own ideology and wishes.

    Slavery didn't end in the United States till near the end of the 1800s. The civil rights movement didn't happen until the 1960s. The beating of Rodney King happened in 1992. You're longest-serving Senator was a former member of the KKK, a vigilante group which also still exists in the US and has since the late 19th century. A Baptist church was bombed which killed 4 black children and injured 22 other people in 1963. A Jewish School in Los Angeles was shot up in 1999. Am I really to believe that America is a colorblind paradise?

    There is no such thing as a nation that has no xenophobia. America has racism, as does my country.

    In Muslim nations, prejudice is rife towards non Muslims. Even against Muslims of different sects. Sunni and Shiite kill each other in substantial numbers. This is prejudice that is every bit as bad, if not a lot worse, than racism in America, or anywhere else.

    Racial crime doesn't strike me as a huge problem. Not violent racial crime. Unless you call the ghettos that came from decades ago and the black on black (to use an example) crime that occurs there as ultimately white on black crime, then it really isn't a big problem.


    A Recent Racially-Motivated Crime

    Oh, those filthy white Americans, right?!? But wait, if you only read the link...

    This purports to be accurate, but I only included it just because! I make no vouching noises as to it's accuracy.

    From an ostensibly black female conservative blog..

    For the years 1995-2002, interracial murder is as follows
    Black on White : 4,044
    White on Black : 1,676

    They link to several spreadsheets on FBI. Latest for those was 2002.
    White on black murder is about half that of black on white.

    Of course, once we weed out all the racially-based convictions, we can still blame white people for all the problems of black people, because, well, it's FUN!!!

    It's not actually easy finding some of those statistics. The DOJ and FBI sites have their various data dispersed and I found it difficult to navigate them, especially since I wasn't even fathoming getting into this subject, but felt it was required as an adequate response.
    And of course, obviously ultra-conservative/pro-white websites seem to be keen on this, so I am trying to avoid those sites.*

    One site that seemed more reasonable was:
    Interracial Crime
    Hate Crimes and Special Victims: An Un-American Story

    According to Wikipedia, white on black homicide was 7.6% of homicides committed by whites, while black on white homicide was 13.8% of homicides committed by blacks.

    Then there's this...

    He calls himself Guy White, so, uh, whatever.

    I am going to assume that probably black on white crime is reported (or minority on majority period) more often than the other way around. Still, it seems like alot of white on black crime is hyped up as racially motivated or better yet, a hate crime.

    Yeah, us filthy white people. We have so much to atone for. I feel so ashamed of my skin color.

    And as far as colorblindness goes, stark racial differences are immediately recognized even unconsciously. I saw some studies about that one time, but I'm not going to bother looking any up right now.

    Needless to say, those who dream of a truly color-blind society are doing just that: dreaming.

    We fought a war that ended slavery in 1865 with the passage of the XIII Amendment.

    A Democratic Senator, and not mine.

    Slavery still is practiced across Africa by Muslims.

    And how many Black children have been enslaved and murdered by the Muslim Janjaweed in Sudan.


    By a Muslim.

    Yes, Islam is so color blind, and tolerant of conflicting religious belief, even among themselves

    No one is denying America, like all nations, has racial issues. But I would love for you to attempt to show me a nation that is more multiracial and more tolerant of those races than America. I think you would be pretty hard pressed to come up with one.

    Oh, and in case you have not noticed, we now have a black president. What are the odds that could happen in the democracies in Europe? Or Asia?

    You're missing a bigger point, Counte.

    Europe just got done wiping out the Jews and and starving million in gulags and "five year plans".

    South America's biggest slave nation (Brazil) didn't ban slavery until the 1880's (after the USA), only shrugged off most it's dictators a few decades ago, and have found numerous cases of slavery even to this day.

    Africa still has slaves and is actively exterminating various pesky popuations.

    Saudi Arabia finally banned slavery (but not for women, who are still property of their husbands) in the 1960's. The rest of the Islamic world still carries out such wonders as clitorectomies, stonings and witch burnings.

    And, Aisia? Well, you have the amazing people like Pol Pot killing 9 million of his own people, China's Mao driving an estimated 50 million to their graves (Cultural Revolution anybody?), North Korea's stellar human right's record and Japan being second only to Germany for wartime cruelty.

    So, when compared to our contemporaries, the USA is hardly innocent, but surely ain't even close when it comes to despicable behavior.

    How huge is "huge" Spider?

    Identifying lawlessness is one thing. Sure. I don't doubt it. But quantify it and explain how it doesn't happen in numbers greater than other nations.
