The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US. Cook has previously written:

Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians. Cook is merely confirming what others have said. Former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical narrative".

[QUOTE="clembo1990"]I am not fooled by his brown-nosing. He blames society's problems on the rejection of "prophets". What? Loose moral boundraries due to lack of importance in family values have nothing to do with it? Excessive government intervention and low expectations for individual effort are not prevelant in the sue-states of America and united sepina-dom? He wants to wipe Israel off the map, he tolerates execution of adulterers and homosexuals, he is evil, he is wrong.

The rejection of their message, not the prophets themselves. Whatever one may think of whether or not Jesus existed and of whether or not he was indeed the son of God, I don't think many can disagree with the idea that loving one's neighbor as oneself is a good idea.

It's worth listening to what he has to say, it was a nice speech.
