Claim: Muslims Had Nothing to Do with 9/11; Dirty Zionist Hands Behind It

This guy shows apparent evidence that he lives on some other planet since he's describing something that has no resemblance to any reality on Terra.

"Our enemies weave many lies about us, which we are not necessarily aware of. For example: One day, we awoke to the crime of 9/11, which hit the tallest buildings in New York, the Empire State Building [sic]. There is no doubt that not a single Arab or Muslim had anything to do with these events. The incident was fabricated as a pretext to attack Islam and Muslims. The plan was to take over the world's energy sources, and to achieve this control by force and not by agreement or negotiations, by interests, free trade, or anything like that. This is what they wanted. "So this incident was fabricated - and Allah knows that the Arabs and Muslims are innocent of it - in order to serve as a pretext to attack Islam and the Muslims.

Seriously though folks, the Chief doesn't know whish is worse: that he believes this is true, or that he knows it isn't. If he believes it is true, then the man, apparently a person of some stature in the mid-east, is a total psychopath with a view of reality that has no resemblance to anything true. If he doesn't actually believe what he's saying, it's even worse, for then he must have grounds for thinking that there is a significant audience out there that DOES think this alternative version of reality is true.

In either event, there's no rationality, and certainly no basis for any sort of meaningful compromises.
