I am tired of Osama using Islam as his banner under which to rally his cause of destruction. Its too bad that Islam doesn't have a means of excommunication like the Catholic church does. I'm sure that would be a fitting blow to him.

He's being very smart about that part of it. Think about it. If he can make Muslim people believe that this is an us vs. them issue, then he has that many more backers, and if some or even most of them don't go for it, so what? They weren't followers he had anyhow.

Agreed. Its an extremely intelligent political move. And its working too, judging by the number of Muslims in countries around the world that want to join the jihad.

I agree, good for him, but VERY BAD for Islam. He will not win, and will make Islam look very very bad to the western world for quite some time. In fact, it may even cause significant turmoil throughout the region. I hope it doesn't get as bloody as Europe did after Hitler dragged the entire continent into flames, but that is always a possiblity.

In the last week, some Muslims seen spreading 'Osama's words' were thrown out by the local islamic leader. I don't think this will ever happen to Bin Laden and co. though, since a significant proportion of muslims do feel the US is treating them unfairly.

Well Fearass, tell that to my fellow, US Muslim citizens here. I think they would take issue with you on that.
