With that said, I would like to know where their statements are stating this is in fact the truth. I do not know about you but I have only seen a few statements issued by a limited number of their religious leaders that actually have condemned Osma and his gang of thugs, therefore his answer is wrong or he only thinks that is the case.

Just use a little common sense here, if what he said was true why haven't we heard about it. Surely you are not going to suggest that the government or media are trying to cover up those statesments are you?
NO!
But lying is allowed in only 2 situations:
1. During the war because the result of a war or a battle depends mainly on how smart and foxy the leader is.
2. To lie (in limit) to solve a conflict between two guys. For example, if you know that Mike and John are in conflict, you can go to John and tell him that Mike likes you and he talks good about you and the same thing for Mike.

A perfectly reasonable question, as well. So why not ask it?
He's already presented ample evidence in the form of religious texts to show that terrorism is not an acceptable practice in the eyes of Muslims. Acts of war are, but only in certain circumstances.
If the response he gives doesn't suit, then perhaps ask it a different way, in simpler terms, such as:
"Can you provide some links or quotes from Islamic religious leaders in recent times that condemn the acts of terrorism by those extremists such as Bin Ladin"
Cairo's Al Azhar University - the most respected institution of religious learning in the Muslim world - has issued a fatwa, or religious edict, advising "all Muslims in the world to make 'jihad' against invading American forces". The statement warned that Islam itself is the direct target of the "new crusaders' invasion", aimed at humiliating and subjugating Arabs and controlling their resources.

One year AFTER the deadly train bombings in Spain. Muslim clerics FINALLY condemn Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda for terrorist attacks. (Whether or not the 9/11 attack is also being denounced remains unclear. But then again we haven't surrendered yet, so an apology is probably not forthcoming.) Only one year to get an apology. No wonder most Muslim countries remain locked in the 13th century

Islam, I'm actually not a Muslim but I grew up with a lot of Muslims in England, I've actually been to meetings with leading members of the Islamic Society of Britain and I've spoken on several University Lectures on Militant Islam, which is why I find this topic almost funny.

3. Oppisite of Jihad is Peace and Tolerance with those who are
- not harming Muslims
- not forcing them to leave their religion
- not preventing them from practicing and spreading their religion.
These 3 things are the things that courage Muslims to declare a war and right now this is valid in Palestne against Israelis who are fighting or stealing the land and against some American troops in Iraq who are killing or torturing innocents BECAUSE they are harming MUSLIMS.

Vincere7, While I cannot condemn you for ignorance, as you did supply a lot of material to back up your claims, I must say that your bias borders on bigotry. You can make any group on Earth look bad by taking isolated incidents, and then claiming the entire group is like that. I'd be curious what you had to say about other religions, as every religion on Earth that I can think of, at some point, fought with someone else, or oppressed someone, or had views someone disagreed with in violent ways.

Were not talking about other religions were discussing Islam. Anyone who wishes to water down Islam and paint the religion as a peace loving institution is merley believing the propaganda Islam wishes you to believe from luke warm cleric's. I find it very odd that we as Americans understand the use of propaganda and psychological warfare - I have no idea why anyone would think Islam does not use the same devices.
1. The Cristian Crusader thinks cutting the clitoris out of all your young girls extrememly barbaric, evil, demented, and insane. And that those who perform that surgery should be skined alive by their eyeballs and wrapped in the hide of a pig.
2. The Cristian Crusader thinks making 20 young school girls die in a fire because they dont have scarves on is out of this world evil, cruel, insane, unjust, and the work of Satan. That man should be burned alive and fed to hogs.
3. The Cristian Crusader thinks killing your sister to protect family "honor" is another extremely barbaric, cruel and sadistict act. It would be better to shoot yourself in the head and send your sister to america.
4. The Christian Crusader thinks killing your 7 daughters because they were not boys is a totally insane and stupid thing to do, not to mention the fact that they could have produced 10 - 20 grand sons. This man should be drawn and quartered.
Dear JedI
You are NOT included in the two situations that Muslims can lie in them.
And even if you think so, I am not saying any word without supporting it from the Quran and Sunnah which are the two sacred texts that all Islam is from them.
You can test any thing I said or will say and you will see that I am saying what Quran is saying. If you don’t believe, then search the Quran through this link in any language that you want
