New John 2:14-16 - Jesus whips the moneychangers....
Jesus wasn't a rigid pacifist - at least not always.

[link|http://bible.gospelcom.net/cgi-bin/bible?passage=JOHN+2:14-16&language=english&version=NIV&showfn=off|Here]:

John 2

14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money.
15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!"


When he felt anger was called for, he used it.

My $0.02.

Cheers,
Scott.

>> Jesus whips the moneychangers [in the Temple] <<

That is what Osoma claims he is doing: the "Temple" is Saudi Arabia, and the violation is foreign troops (in his mind).

However, I would note that Jesus kicked them out, but there is no evidence that he killed them.

Side note: I think instead of rebuilding the trade center, it should instead be made into a religious monument, with quotes from all the major world religions talking about tolerance of beliefs, etc.
