"My Jihad" -- A few thoughts

Published on January 18, 2006 By ----- In Misc

I read a book titled My Jihad . This book gave me a better insight into mujhadeen,etc... However, the author, seems hyper and childish. But, that's just my opinion. He seems to write as if he was jumping suddenly from one spot to another. (stutter like) He is fairly biased against the CIA and never finds out (as far as anything in the book) why things happened the way they did. He is a bit arrogant and self rightous in his assertions that he claim are "correct".

I was reading some of the reviews and discussed it with another person (via chat) about it. They said they felt he was a traitor. A ruthless, blood thirsty, relentless, butcher. That he deserved to die, and that jail would be too easy for him. Now, that is their opinion, and their right.

However, nowhere in the book did he act against the US. In fact, he worked with the CIA against the terrorists that he had met before. My question is, "what defines a terrorist?" (or traitor) Do they have to be people who fight against the US. Or perhaps they are merely those who fight against an ideal that one cherishes.

Regardless. I found the comment a bit peculiar.
