Not a Clash of Religions

I do believe the journalist's claims. I have read before that the Islam religion wants to live in peace with their Jewish and Christian brethren. However, I am a bit skeptical that Osama Bin Laden does not hate other religions. While he may say that he "respects the prophets", I am unsure whether the author really knows if that signifies he doesn't hate different religions.

Osama Bin Laden should not be excused for his actions. It doesn't matter that this author is trying to portray that he doesn't totally hate Jews or Christians. When you kill one person, let alone hundreds, (not in self-defense) there is no excuse for his actions. No one who is not protecting themselves is justified to kill.
