Currently, Bush is a very unpopular US President with everything he does being magnified and no passes given. Somehow I cannot see OBL & Co in that same light among muslims. Now, if you don't stand up to be counted, how can I count you and assess? Think of a US Serviceman. I don't know what oath he takes but I think it is safe to assume that he has to follow legal orders. After 911, they had to ask some guy in Saudi Arabia for permission to go to Afghanistan. Makes you wonder where their loyalties lie. With another muslim or the country they swore to defend. These are not some lowlife in the streets who feels disenfranchised by his govt which is caused, so he thinks, by the US govt. This is a US serviceman we are talking about. In this case, he has made his loyalties clear. Therefore, what more can I assume when you are a foreigner who has not even pledged allegiance to the US or taken an oath of service?
As to Hindus, personally, I think they have too many gods in the religion. I keep mine simple. ZERO gods. Well, maybe if you don't count the Goddess of High Torque and Horsepower. I have enough things to worry about in life without adding one more to worry about. Look, if they want to bark at the moon and they don't disturb my sleep, I could care less.
