I just watched your coverage of the stealth helicopter on TV, describing how the Chinese may now acquire advanced technology from our chopper's wreckage left in the Bin Laden compound. To my amazement, you made the task of reverse engineering the chopper's technology considerably easier by interviewing an expert who pointed out the design features, and why they were significant. I think this is very irresponsible. Getting a story out should never be your only concern. You need to think about the consequences of your actions.
People who hate Islam should study it.Islam is the only religion that has not only survived the onslaught of science but has been strengthened by it.Day by day science discoveres things which have already been mentioned in Quran.Read this book,

People mix Islam with society customs.Girls education is compulsory in Islam,Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) said,"It is obligatory for every man and woman to get education"Working women are allowed in Islam.Prophet(PBUH) own wife used to earn her own living. etc etc
Actions of Al Qaeda and Taliban have little to do with religion.Western media wrongly or delibrately for propoganda puposes mixes everything with religion.Taking revenge is a deep rooted pashtun culture.There are cases where pashtuns taking revenge 100 of years after actual event.They never forgive those who mess with them.
It is true Osama was a terrorist who killed innocent civilians which is not allowed in Islam.Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) said,'Killing one person is equal to killing whole humanity.'However.it must be remembered what motivated him.People in USA should force their there government to change it's policies.
Pakistani tribal pashtun belt has rebelled against centre beacause there brethen in Afghanistan are dying and they are being showered with drones while the centre is a silent spectatcle and also because under US orders Musharraf ordered Pakistan army to enter this himalayan region which has never been governed by centre in last 2,000 years due to it's unique geography.
.33,000 Pakistanis have died in this conflict which is not Pakistan's conflict.Pakistan and Afghanistan are actually a one nation.The biggest ethnic group in Afghanistan is pashtun.The population of Pakistani pashtuns is more than twice that of Afghanistan's pashtuns.Other ethnic groups are hazaras and bolach who's popultion in Pakistan is much larger than Afghanistan
Al Qaeda is an Arab nationalist movement not Islamic movement.The west started this war by creating Israel and by installing puppet regimes in Muslim countries in order to occupy there resources.etc etc.
