OSLO, Norway, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The spiritual leader of Norway's Muslims told readers of Aftenposten Monday he doubts Muslims were responsible for the 2001 terror attacks on the United States.
Imam Zulqarnain Sakandar Madni answered questions from the newspaper's readers.
"There's some good evidence that (U.S. President George) Bush and company were behind this," he said. "See the film that's called 'Loose Change.' An American film!"
He also said he doubts that al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden exist.
"If everyone respected one another as people, we wouldn't have any problems," the imam said. "But it seems everyone wants to show what great power they have. We want peace for everyone. That's what Islam stands for!"
He said that with his followers he emphasizes that killing or injuring anyone is forbidden by Islam.
