Freedom fighter Massoud dead

“Ped, your comment about finding out more about Massoud reverts back to your Rumor of War thread.

It's crazy that we HAVE to research more on a topic or person to see if it's real or if there is more to the background of the story.

From visiting Violin's link to a British young muslim web site, it seems that way too many fundamentalists believe the false rumors about jews not going to work at the WTC on the day of the attack, and about the photos of Palestinians celebrating being 10 year old footage.

Malcolm X, (who few know was murdered with Louis Farrakahn's blessing) said "a lie can travel
half way around the world before the truth has even got its shoes on." In the age of the internet this is an understatement.”
