I scored 13 of 20, but there was some guesswork involved. I believe that many of the quotes by Osama could have been stated in a similar context by Robertson or Falwell, and vice versa. As already implied, all three men believe in the fundamental principles of their religion. They all love God and want to honor and obey him. All three support the military action their own people are carrying out--Falwell and Robertson support the US military; Osama supports Al Qaida. Aside from their own desire to glorify Jesus Christ for Falwell and Robertson and Mohammed for Osama, here's the difference: Falwell and Robertson wouldn't support Sept. 11 style killing where non-military innocent people are involved, and Osama does, except he doesn't consider any American innocent, so no atrocities were committed. He believes that God-- or Allah-- approves of, and is glorified by, this kind of killing. Falwell and Robertson do not.
Hey Bugs, The US has killed about 100,000 Iraquis in the war. Not all of them were combatents either.
Khirk, try 25,000 tops |
