Bin Laden's Demented World View...

And among the most important items contained in Bush's speeches since the events of the 11th is that the Americans have no option but to continue the war. This tone is in fact an echoing of the words of neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle, the latter having said previously that the Americans have no choice in front of them other than to continue the war or face a holocaust.

I say, refuting this unjust statement, that the morality and culture of the holocaust is your culture, not our culture. In fact, burning living beings is forbidden in our religion, even if they be small like the ant, so what of man?! The holocaust of the Jews was carried out by your brethren in the middle of Europe, but had it been closer to our countries, most of the Jews would have been saved by taking refuge with us. And my proof for that is in what your brothers, the Spanish, did when they set up the horrible courts of the Inquisition to try Muslims and Jews, when the Jews only found safe shelter by taking refuge in our countries. And that is they the Jewish community in Morocco today is one of the largest communities in the world. They are alive with us and we have not incinerated them, but we are a people who don't sleep under oppression and reject humiliation and disgrace, and we take revenge on the people of tyranny and aggression, and the blood of the muslims will not be spilled with impunity, and the morrow is night for he who waits.

Gee, I never noticed a huge amount of muslim countries offering refuge to the Jews during the second world war. And, the only reason Morocco has a large Jewish community (relative to other muslim countries) is that they weren't expelled like the Jews of Iraq, Egypt, Libya, etc.

Of course, while Bin Laden might say that 'incinerating' people is agains the religion, he had no qualms about incinerating 2,000+ people on 9/11.
