USHIC, I'm not arguing your claim that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." In fact nothing I ever said even touched on it. How bin Laden and other Islamists view themselves is a matter of precisely 0 interest to me.It is fairly obvious that he wants the Saudi monarchy overthrown. Everyone knows this. It is a logical prerequisite in establishing the pan-Islamic caliphate he's called for. That's not what I'm challenging you on. I'm challenging you on the belief that such a caliphate would be any less brutal, repressive, or belligerent than the current regime. Your response to that was to post an article that didn't refute what I said, and then call me an idiot when I pointed out as much. And this in a thread where you insist you want to have a serious discussion.Why should he care about ethnic Jordanians if he is merely a Saudi nationalist, hmm? You edge towards incoherence.His concern for the "Palestinians" is motivated by his religious nationalism and his division of the world into the house of Islam and the house of infidels. That's all.(BTW, if I were a petty little man like you, I'd point out all the typos in that sentence and then attribute them to stupidity on your part, as you are wont to do with others).
