Sad part is, we don't know it for sure

Oh no we do know for sure. I don't think Obama would make a huge announcement about Bin Ladens death to only be later embarrassed if he ever showed his face to the world again. Seriously, even if Bin-Laden is alive he doesn't really exist to us anymore.

Charles Manson was a muslim ! Don't touch the coran , it might burn your hands !

Oh just a last one for the fun: don't eat hallal, you are supporting terrorists !

Who knows if an american soldier wasn't killed because you ate hallal !

Shame on you !

Be a true patriot, and support the next war on Syria/ Iran / ??

It's ok to bombard some country , it's for the sake of democracy.

Libya feel much better now, it lost all it's economy, but it's free!

not all Muslims are terrorists, but 99% of terrorists are Muslims and there are ALOT of terrorists. ;) FACT

What side are you on? For their way of thought, its black and white, no grey.

before defending their actions remember the Muslim theme song :

1) make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home. Surah 9:73M

2) Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers Surah 48:29

Most people, yes, that includes white Christians, consider Americans to be terrorists.

The fact is, if you instill fear in to another, you are by every definition a "terrorist". Ever scare your little sister as a kid? Yeah? I've got news for you.

IRA is gone, you are living in the 90's.

If only this was true. The IRA are not gone. The main group is gone, but the splinters are very much alive. The Real IRA (RIRA) still exist, and occasionally you see police clampdowns in the region because of terrorist threats and terrorism in general. There are bomb threats every month in this country, if not more frequently still. The splinters of the UVF, the UDR, and the UDA are all also still going. The LVF stopped actions in 2005, but I'd guarantee there are still hardliners from it as well.

You might think the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 put all the Troubles in this country to a halt, but nope. It was signed in April 1998... then this happened in August 1998. That town is not far from where I live. April 2011, another bomb goes off in the same town in a car, killing a police-man. Dissidents threatened a bomb in London; May 16th 2011.

Just because the Troubles are over in this country does not mean the terrorists in it have stopped. Most of these acts are performed by Catholics and Protestants; not Muslims. I'd say that more than 1% of terrorists are not Islamic. All it takes is extremism to be a terrorist, assuming you actually act on your views. I'm from Northern Ireland and I can definitely say that terrorism still exists here.

hate false pretense, hate all religion equally. Christians you can put up with since they don't want to harm my kids because they are unbelievers. Just like some Muslims, they can be the best of people. Its like mob-mentatily, individuality they are awesome people, but as a group their individualness disappears and they become a collective with only 1 intention.

Wow, that's a lot of hate :(

My personal opinion, and as for my knowledge, he had some severe kidney problems.

In my opinion, he died in Tora Bora. There is no way even an ant could've survived what happened there.

But if he survived that, he might still be alive. Though I agree, he's become non-existent.

About the Obama thing, he just made sure he gets elected for the second time, because he destroyed America' biggest enemy.

if they said he was alive, imagine how many Muslims would be taking buildings and people hostage demanding his release? it would be a daily thing...

Why do you associate Osama Bin Laden as some Islamic icon?

In fact to 99% of Muslims he was a pain in the arse.

It's me saying that G W Bush jnr every Americans leader and 100% of you all worship him and wish you were him.

Did you know that the Bin Laden raid and kill was happening at the same time as the Presidential Dinner 2011?

^ That's the fantasy they want you to believe.

Bin Laden died many years ago in 2002, and I'm sure they'll do whatever it would take to keep anyone from proving otherwise.

That's what THEY what YOU to believe. In fact, OBL was taken away in a space ship at birth and replaced by an (illegal) alien from the planet Zorf!

IMO terrorist activities or evil deeds in general can never be linked specifically to a single religion. Its immature to do so. For example Hitler was a Christian wasn't he? What about the Nazi army? They were all Christians, I'm guessing so were Stalin & his goons. That doesn't make Christianity any less beautiful & peace loving than we all know it is.

Similarly what is done by few evil men like Osama can't be made to stand against Islam.

Bahaha! How ridiculous. We'll just ignore the IRA, The Communist Party of India, Shining Path, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia...yeah, that's a real fact you have there...

Communist Party of India is not a terrorist organization, thy are just dumbasses who want free money for all the lazy idiots who support them.

"Terrorism" seems to be branching out into all different directions in terms of it's defintion. Be more specific like "Islamic terrorism", which is the violence of Muslims according to Jihad. Does the Bible command & justify Christians warring against unbelievers who oppose it and take a stand directly against Christianity? Even the most tortured interpretation would have a hard time coming up with that one. Does the Quran justify war against unbelievers who oppose Islam and take a stand directly against it? sure seems to be that millions of jihadists who say so from their own lips...and act accordingly. I would say Islam does teach holy war against those who refuse to submit and Muhammad said it was the duty of all Muslims. Now are all Muslims active in Jihad? No...but is Jihad real? Of course it is.

Did you do your own head count on that throught? There are about 1.6 billion muslims in the world. So even if there were a few million who believed that, that still leaves hundreds of millions who dont. Islam really isnt different the other religions in the way that there are different sects of christianity. As well as the level of devotion by the people of each religion/view. Suggesting that becuase 1 or 2% of those that follow islam view militant way, some how represents the whole or majority of the religion is ignorant at best. Jihad for some is real, dont think anyone is denying that but it's far from the majority view.

I think it's false to equate Islam and Christianity. You might have a relatively small group of Muslims who are committed to jihad when you consider there are 1.x billions Muslims worldwide, but there seems to be legions of Muslims who support them. Either indirectly, by making excuses for their actions or trying to downplay the issue of jihad, or directly through funding and open support.

You also can't ignore the Islamic militias in Africa who are killing scores of people with the hope of converting the entire continent to Islam. Sure, Christians send in their missionaries and try to convert people, but you can't pretend it's the same thing.

Of course, it's worth noting that many millions of Muslims are victims of their cruel, Muslim rulers. Military, political and Royal leaders who couldn't care less about their faithful brothers and sisters. Who live in the lap of luxury while people around them are starving and dying.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.
    • Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.
    • Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.
    • Classic. China would be nothing without Western, Japanese, and South Korean technology.
