- Osama bin Laden Political History (PBS Frontline)
Provides a rather detailed history of Osama bin Laden's life and involvement in politics. The story is expressed in "broken" English, with many grammatical errors.

The story contradicts a number of accounts of bin Laden, such as that he worked with or was trained by Americans. It also explains his relationship with his family and the Saudi regime differently from other public accounts. It states that the American retaliation for bombings of American embassies in 1998 unified Muslims in the region against the USA. The American retaliation was considered so incompetent that it must have been a deliberate attack against the Muslim religion instead of against bin Laden. 9-01

- Progressive Clergy - Political Involvement (Clergy Leadership Network)
Provides issues and programs for involving progressive clergy in political and policy change.

Religious communities have always transcended national boundaries and they maintain deep ties around the world. The vision of faith is of an inclusive human family, wherein each nation and community holds special gifts meant in their sharing to enrich life for all. Only policies that lead our country to play a cooperative and positive role in the community of nations will claim our support."
