Good luck with that.
Let me make this crystal clear: no, I do not think bin Laden is representative of all Muslims. No way in hell.

I never said that Bin-Laden is representative of all Muslims. I don't think he is even close to being representative of all Muslims.
The polls I was quoting were not just right after 9/11. The polls went from around 2001-2006 or so.
The problem with people like you that are so politically correct is that you think that if you even ackowledge any type of negative characteristic about a group, that that would make you a bigot or racist. That is ridiculous.
Quoting a poll does not make someone a racist. Bin-Laden enjoyed a ton of popularity throughout the Muslim world for several years. This was after he murdered 3,000 people on 9/11.
Is Rush Limbaugh representative of all Republicans? Of course not. There are plenty of Republicans that are not Rush Limbaugh fans at all. Is Rush Limbaugh fairly popular amongst Republicans? I would have to say yes. He is certainly representative of some republicans. I don't know the exact number. I would guess that at least 50% of republicans like Limbaugh.
With Bin-Laden, in the years of approximately 2001-2006, I would say that somewhere around 30%-40% of Muslims around the world liked Bin-Laden during that time. Is Bin-Laden represenative of all Muslims? Of course not. But he was quite popular for a while. Even today, he still enjoys some popularity in the Muslim world. If you polled Muslims all over the world today, I would guess that his popularity rate would still be above 10% and I'll bet you that those people would tell you that he does represent them.
