Loose Change Inspires Terrorists?

Well, now Cynthia McKinney is no longer the biggest idiot to have watched Loose Change. One of the men arrested in the airplane bombing plot may have seen it as well:

After 9/11 and 7/7 Waheed was sceptical about whether Muslims could have been responsible. He watched conspiracy videos on the internet. He believed them and thought they made sense. Like most people in the world, he was anti-war. But his solution was: fight the enemies of Islam by showing them the real Islam, a religion of peace.


That's a friend of his talking to the reporter; obviously he appears to have intended something quite different.

Many Palestinians think the Jews drain the blood of Muslim children to make pastries.

Woot blood libel.

Further proof most of these societies are still in the Middle Ages.

Many people I met in Egypt were convinced that they won the 1973 war with Israel!

If you listened to the Arab world, Israel has never won a war.

so wait, this guy sees loose change, is convinced muslims didnt blow anything up, and he plans to prove it to the world by blowing something up?

Very postmodern of him.

This is the new CT theory - if these people believe the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks were fakes to frame muslims, they why would these same people plot real attacks?

Of course when cartoons making muslims look violent were published, radical muslims rioted in protest. So it appears that wackos have a tendency not to make sense.

But polls in the middle east show that many people believe america did it to themselves yet they deserved it, and osama didn't do it yet he isa hero for taking on america. Go figure.

"World Trade Center: Rise and Fall" on the history channel. Lots of structural engineers and such. Look GOOD! (If you're not a denier)

Been watching it.

I am reminded of columnist Thomas Friedman, who was in Israel when 9/11 happened. He visited some contacts at the IDF, and asked them if Al Qaeda could do this, and they said "Sure, Arab terrorists have been conducting sophisticated operations for years."

He then travelled to a couple different Arab countries, where everyone claimed, "There is no way Arabs could have done this, this is way too complicated, they aren't smart enough"

Friedman then pointed out the irony that the only people in the Middle East who thinks that Arabs are smart are the Jews.

I read it on the internet.

Must've been where you found out Oswald didn't kill Kennedy and the Soviets weren't part of the Cold War.
