Quote:Freeliar, it is has already been explained that the type of deception in warfare only means concealing military secrets such as ongoing war strategies or locations of armies and weapons, etc.
Osama declared war on the US. It was ongoing according to him. 9/11 was part of his strategy. Why wouldn't he lie about it?
Quote:Are you suggesting that Sep 11 was a part of some war?
Like I said, Osama declared war on the US and had carried out a series of attacks, all in an attempt to get the US to notice he was at war with them. With 9/11, the US noticed, so there was no need for him to claim responsibility.
Quote:Bin Laden was not the leader of any country, so does not have the right to make war on anyone
Is this an Islamic principle? It didn't stop him declaring war did it? Nor did the Taliban feel obligued to kick him out.
Quote:You are suggesting that the religious Bin Laden was knowingly committing sins?
Sure, but I am also sure that like you, he had an excuse for every evil thing done by Muslims. You hardly inspire confidence with your excuses.
Quote:It is a sin to disobey the leader of the Islamic state. Why would Bin Laden do this?
Who says he disobeyed? You are having trouble getting your head around the concept of 'lying about your military strategy' aren't you Falah?
Quote:It is a sin to lie. Why would Bin Laden do it?
You just told us why.
Quote:It is a sin to kill non-combatants. Why would Bin Laden do it?
I thought it was only an Islamic sin to kill the 'innocent' (and Islam even stretches the emaning of innocent doesnt it)? Were the 500 Jews slaughtered by Muhammed in Medina all combatants? You yourself outlined plans to kill a lot of Australians, Americans, British, Iranian etc people. None of the examples you gave were combatants. Why do you seem to change your mind about what Islam permits? How are the people in the twin towers any less guilty than the 500 Jews in Medina?
Quote:The US changed its mind on the issue anyway. First they said Bin Laden was the mastermind behind Sep11, now they say it is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?
Bin Laden was the leader. Khalid was the 'architect' of the attacks. Someone else lead them into 'battle'. Khalid also headed up AQ's propaganda operations (so funny you should bring him up in this context). A bit like Hitler and Goering perhaps. Surely this is not too confusing a concept?
Quote:Why did the US change its mind?
Who says they changed their mind? Only you.
