Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson are condemned by, if not 99% of, then a 
great many, Christians. I would agree with you that in an absolute 
sense, the war that bin Laden proposes isn't 'holy' because it does not 
heal or promote wholeness or result in communion with the Sacred on 
anyone's part, but bin Laden believes it. The fatwa he declared against 
Amercia is a religious thing, not a merely political one.

Says you. Before 1948, the Palestinians didn't give jack squat about the 
Jews in general. Before the Crusades, under Islamic rule, Jews, 
Christians and Muslims lived in virtual harmony.
