No. Bin Laden is a person whereas islam is a religion.
Person = a human being, whether man, woman, or child
Religion = a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe
To be honest I cannot see how you managed to confuse the two.

No Islam is an uptodate and logic religion for all humans who love peace.Osama bin Laden is only one of the total of muslims in this world..He is not represent the Islam religion and his action is not always in line with Islam as a religion.Osama hated US Government because they offended and humiliated muslims and also attacked muslim countries and killed many innocent people
..But sorry the angry Osama killed many innocent people too as his retaliation so he is not a good muslim.He is a hard liner of muslim.According to him killing non muslim is a jihad.It is wrong because a jihad has many forms
He should killed the attackers .We as minority can live peacefully
,savely and happily in muslim countries because they are tolerance and they love and help and respect each other.as long as the non muslim respected them and did not treat them as their enemy.and did not make harm to them.

I have lived with several Muslims and NO!!!! Muslims are not Bin Laden just as all Christians are not George Bush!!! You can’t and you shouldn’t judge a whole religion by one or two people’s actions. Imagine if all people started acting that way they’ll start hating all Americans!!!!

Regarding Osama bin Laden, one does not know whether he is good or bad. I have not met him personally nor do I know him. I cannot give my opinion based on the reports of BBC or the CNN. Most of the news on the international media is tailor-made to suit ulterior motives and suited to project the image what they want.
The Qur'an says:
“O you who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news ascertain the truth lest you harm people unwittingly and afterwards become full of repentance for what you have done.” (Al-Qur'an 49:6)
With regards to the last part of your question, Islam forbids killing of innocent people. The Qur'an says:
“ … If anyone slew a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land it would be as if he slew the whole humanity: and if anyone saved a life it would be as if he saved the life of the whole humanity.” (Al-Qur'an 5:32)
Killing any innocent human being, whether Muslim or non-Muslim is not allowed in Islam. Even in the circumstances of war, this aspect is not to be ignored. The first caliph of Islam, Abu Bakr As-Siddique (R) is reported to have commanded Usama ibne Zaid (R):
“I command you to do ten things: you must not kill a woman or a child, or an elderly person; do not cut down trees, or vandalize homes, or wound a sheep or camel except if you must eat it; do not drown a palm tree, or burn it, do not be treacherous; do not be cowardly; and you will pass by people who have devoted themselves to monastery life: leave them alone with their devotions.” (Tarikh At-Tabari, V.3, p.210)
Thus killing children or innocent people are not allowed in Islam. And Allah knows the best.

I think Bin Laden is the David Koresh of Islam. Or in other words all religions have nut cases, but it does not defy that religion.

no, i didn't even know that most people in the city were muslim and my favorite food was a muslim food. It wasn't a national religion though, just a fair amount of muslims in north eastern china.
They're not supposed to drink and have premarital sex. but Christians aren't supposed to do a lot of things too and it doesn't stop either one from indulging. The good thing is that cause many can't drink alchohol weed is available. It's illegal, but not as bad as drinking to them. Muslims that is, most chinese drink a lot.

If you mean does Osama accurately represent Islam, the answer is NO, absolutely not. The majority of Muslims are peaceful and kind people. Osama is an extremist and his ideas about the world are not a reflection of most Muslims.
