A Florida topless bar, 2001. Immediately prior to
leaving Florida for the attacks on the World Trade
Center, Mohamed Atta and a fellow terrorist were
reported to have visited a topless bar in the
vicinity of their flight training school. Upon
departing they left a Koran. Some in the media said
that this showed that they were simply hirelings as
no devout Muslims would visit such a place nor leave
behind the Holy Book. But perhaps instead they saw
it as an act of religious courage - so strong now in
their faith that they could enter into the belly of
the American beast and leave triumphant and
unscathed. Why do religious zealots stumble at
mishearing the call of God’s commandments and bring
death instead of life? |
