What is "political Islam"? Does it include the Muslim League in India?
Would this sentence also be valid if modified as "It is a fact that
political Christianity embraces terrorism"? Or "political Judaism"? Or
"political Hinduism"? (BJP/VHP/Shiv Sena/RSS).
I am not a "9/11 conpiracist" but even I am unwilling to accept such a
broad statement!
Also, it seems to me: whether "political Islam" embraces "terrorism" or
not, or whether 9/11 "conspiracists" accept that or not, does not say
much about whether the 9/11 story is different from what we have been told.
