Yeah, I always thought it worth repeating as often as possible that Al Quaeda is to Islam, as the KKK are to Christianity.

Though sadly I suspect most of the people who have a problem with the Mosque in New York probably think those KKK chaps weren't really all that bad.

Before I link remember both Australia and America found citizens who had converted to Islam and were fighting in Afghanistan before the BBC liberated Kabul.

Cheers for that. Can't see the site from work, but will look when I have 5 minutes at home.

Some notable American al-Qaeda members:

Anwar al-Awlaki
Adam Gadahn ("Azzam al-Amriki")
the Lackawanna Six
... and Jose Padilla

The number of American al-Qaeda members is tiny. I mean, really tiny. But it's not zero,

I was going to make a similar comment, but I'm glad that there are people with names and statistics and links who have done it better than me ...

... and yes, it's tens or hundreds of people at most that are overlapped in ... statistically nearly zero.
