Carlos the Jackal has converted to Islam!!

By what we are getting these days, world is getting convinced that Islam and Islamic teachings are violent and violence is intrinsic in that religion. I was stunned when I read this about Carlos the international terrorist and that he has converted to Islam and praised Bin Laden for what he has done.

What I want to say is that as a Moslem and Iranian I don't think that way and I believe the very first victims of such acts and violent actions are Moslems themselves. As a matter of fact we will see how Bin Laden has betrayed Moslem nations by giving such a dark and violent image from Islam and middle eastern cultures. The other dangerous thing is the very violent superficial impressions that superficial people get from what Bin Laden has done. He has not done anything good for his people, he has just collaborated in an act of destruction with other violent guys like George Bush, the same way as Saddam did. It has much more to do with politics than religion, Islam is only a pretext. They would do the same thing if they were born Christian, Jew or anything else.
