I could say I love them as much as I love any other members of the human race that I don't know personally.
I know that bin Laden and Co. would rather see me dead, but I don't have any strong passion to see them destroyed or anything. I know that tactically it would be better if they were killed or captured. I'm against torture, but a just execution wouldn't bother me. If they changed their hearts and minds, they'd still have to answer for their crimes, but I might be more inclined to mercy.

It's pretty difficult, both because of what they've done to innocent people (including other Muslims) and because Osama isn't anywhere nearby (I think) so I have no opportunity to express the love of Christ. But I do pray for them. Nobody should have to live with that much hate.
Nikki -- I get it. It WOULD be a great name for a band. Islamic Punk?

Harboring hatred only harms the person who harbors it. Is that what leads you to ask this question only of Christians? God knows my heart and yours too.
Your question is callously cruel for those who lost love ones on 9/11 so I don't trust you really have a good motive to post it.

I have no problems with Osama Bi Laden or any of his followers as the bible says we are all sinners. I would be very happy to see all of them come to know Jesus Christ as the real Savor of there lives and what joy it will be to know that it does not matter how bad you were you can be saved by Jesus Christ if only you come to Him

Any truly borne again believer must say yes!
Though it is easier to want him or them D E A D, we know that God can forgive and completely change the vilest of unbelievers and bring glory to his name.
The early church was attacked again and again, some of the believers were even killed by a religious fanatic.
His name was Saul of Tarsus.
When our resurrected Lord appeared to him he was humbled and borne again.
That was Paul the Apostle, who wrote a good portion of what is now referred to as The New Testament of Jesus Christ.

I love the Pope. I hate Bin Laden.
Is this ok?

I think there is a secret clause in the bible, "love thy neighbor unless he's trying to blow up your country". Ahhh, the duality of the bible that says to love your neighbor as you extract a tooth for the one that he previously took from you.

I do love Osama Bin Laden and those offiliated with him. I hate what they do. I have asked God to help me to love who He loves and hate what He hates.
