Oh please, bin Laden and the Taliban brought nothing but grief and hardships to Afghanistan after they took over. The feelings of the NA fighters should also reflect that. This is not only about what was done to us (although that is our motivation).
Plus, look at the quote that you repeated - it seems like killing a fellow Arab/Muslim may or may not be acceptible...but that's the criteria. I don't think the criteria even applies to non-Muslims...and I think that is one of the biggest points. My feelings are that the right or wrong invloved with killing another human being should not be based on the religion of the victim.
