Olga, Olga, Olga… Not you too. Don’t YOU fall onto the half-truth and manipulation bandwagon. You assume (and by making that argument you are presumably are tying to get other people to assume) that just because they are in the “same family” then they are somehow affiliated with Osama. They aren’t. Osama is one of over fifty children fathered by a very wealthy and prominent Saudi Arabian businessman. The bin Laden family disowned Osama after he fled Saudi Arabia in 1991 and he was stripped of his Saudi Arabian citizenship in 1994. Meanwhile, a great number the bin Laden family has been living and working in the United States and has donated millions of dollars to the United States University system.

It's thinking like this that spawns hatred. It's no different (or at most barely different) than someone saying that all blacks are theives because a black person stole their car. 99.99999999% of the bin Ladens have no affiliation with Osama or al Qaida whatsoever.
