as far as im concerned osama bin laden represents all muslims?

Question

This is because no other muslim who stands opposed to bin laden has gotten up and made a stong stance against his beliefs. These people are not making themselves known... if they even exist.

Answer 1

I do not condone anything that Bin Ladin has done I am a Muslim and I cried alone with every other American on 9/11 So did my Husband and all of my Muslim community

He is apart of the Wahhabi movement and not mainstream Islam. Wahhabism accepts the Qur'an and hadith as fundamental texts, interpreted upon the understanding of the first three generations of Islam . It also accepts various commentaries including Ibn Abd al-Wahhab's book called Kitab al-Tawhid ("Book of Monotheism"), and the works of the earlier scholar Ibn Taymiyya (1263–1328).

Wahhabists see their role as a movement to restore Islam from what they perceive to be innovations, superstitions, deviances, heresies and idolatries. There are many practices that they believe are contrary to Islam, such as

Invoking of any prophet, Sufi saint, or angel in prayer, other than God alone (Wahhabists believe these practices are polytheistic in nature)

Visiting the graves of Sufi saints or prophets and asking the dead for help

Celebrating annual feasts for Sufi saints

Wearing of charms, and believing in their healing power

Practicing magic, or going to sorcerers or witches to seek healing

Innovation in matters of religion (e.g. new methods of worship)

Answer 2

You are not paying real attention to the world stage if you have this view. There are many Muslims who are vocal critics of Osama Bin Laden. Perhaps you have forgotten that peaceful hardworking Muslims were among the dead in the World Trade Center. One man left a pregnant wife behind. She, for one, was a very vocal critic of Bin Laden.

Answer 3

Bin Laden attacked the US because of the deaths of innocents in that area due to US funding of the IDF and the collective punishments of the sanctions on the innocent in Iraq. Why should people in that region oppose what he did? He was trying to protect them.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Then you haven't gone out of your way to meet any muslims in your community. There's a mosque in almost every city in America. I've learned a lot from the Muslims where I live, I hope you get over your issues

Answer 6

I have met a few who do oppose Bin Laden but unfortunately they are quiet about it. Not sure why.

Answer 7

You maybe true a little but not entirely. Atleast 5-6% of muslims won't support him. And remaining people may.

Answer 8

Thats like saying all americans are like George Bush.

Answer 9

Who cares about u? Osama is creation of CIA.

Answer 10

That's the problem with a religion that doesn't have strong leadership.
