Not A Clash Of Religions

I think that this article really captures what all this global fighting is about. I can understand it better after reading this article, because I was very confused about why the religions would fight against each other. Now that I realize it is about them fighting for people to believe in their religion, I can see how the United States have been provoking this situation, by trying to advertise atheism and become secular. Maybe America doesn't realize this, but the Arab nations do, and I think that this article describes it perfectly. The Arab nations and Osama bin Laden are mainly fighting to keep their religion going and keep it part of their political and economic state.
I think that the journalist is 100% right. The quotes he pulled from the Koran could easily be misinterpreted to lead to violence by the Muslims. I still don't think Osama is justified, but it makes more sense why he has done it. I still 100% think that resulting to killing anyone over religion is just wrong. Although the Koran says "slay the idolaters wherever you find them", they had no way of knowing that everybody in the World Trade Center was atheist or didn't believe in their religion. There was probably Muslims that were killed in that tragedy, and that is going against what the Koran says. So no, I don't think he is or will ever be justified for what he did.
