IMI and Samir - There is no merit to your argument. Or if you think there is, you haven't brought it out in your comments.

Hurray - Honestly, I don't think much will change if Bin Laden is captured. Al Qaeda has been so hyped up and has now become synonymous, in the minds of some, with militant Islam. Bin Laden is a small player in militant Islam. The biggest threat of militant Islam comes from failed states like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and to some extent Egypt and Iran.

hey captain ..how many times do i need to tell this thing again and again in how many thread and in how many ways!!!.i think you should know better than me the way u potray yourself as scholar of these sectors!
try finding the real motive of fundamentalist muslims ..they are linked ..it is not as WMD in iraq stunt by bush..this is the fact ..from Africa to Australia..

I have never thought of myself as a 'scholar' and if that is the image you have of me on your mind, I can only laugh at the gap between your perception and my reality.

The fact of the matter is in some cases they are, in some some cases they are not. Each case has to be dealth with objectively and the facts and circumstances maybe different each time (as article by Bhadrakumar pointed out). But to generalize all Muslims as terrorists and all acts of Islamic militancy as a coordinated grand conspiracy sounds a bit like saying man never landed on the moon.
