I love how they all have some excuse as to why they went "radical." His was the invasion of Afghanistan. Others are Kosovo, others go back to the Knights of St. John repelling the Ottoman empire. Whatever. It's all bullshit. It's the same reason Scientologists become Scientologists- they're weak-minded trash and fall prey to an intense ideology. Only instead of hanging a picture of Tom Cruise on their walll, Wahabbists strap dynamite to themselves. It's a matter of degree really.

i think the next level is obvious: dynamite with pictures of tom cruise on it.
i remember when i first went radical. i had just found out that the page requirement for my seminar paper didn't include the footnotes.
"the law" is yet another false idol. readers beware. - At 5/01/2007 7:38 PM, josh said...

i dont think my previous comment is believable. anyone who reads this blog knows that my view of "the law" is far from idolatry.
