The quote of the day, courtesy of Osama bin Laden:

[T]he crime committed by a freethinker is the worst of crimes, that the damage caused by his staying alive among the Muslims is of the worst kind of damage, that he is to be killed, and that his repentance is not to be accepted.

[...]

Indeed, this is our Prophet’s law regarding anyone who mocks him, and belittles Islam and scorns it... They should be killed... It is intolerable and outrageous that the heretics are among us, scorning our religion and our Prophet.

Therefore, you must fear Allah and do His will. Do not consult anyone about the killing of these heretics. Be secretive in carrying out that which is required of you.

How exactly does one “give peace a chance” with someone like this? Failing to act against this type of corrosive ideology just gives bin Laden and his followers a chance to keep killing. In what way does that further the cause of peace?
