This Web site was
first published in July of 1998, and has been maintained
on a non-profit basis consistently since that time,
without personal concern of retribution, for the benefit of
citizens worldwide who cherish their families, the right to live
in a free and democratic society, and the freedom to worship God
through the religion of their choice.
The following comments by Usama bin Laden demonstrate
how easily this man twists Islamic doctrine to suit his own barbaric
ends within his own oversimplified view of reality. He would
certainly have flunked Logic 101, Philosophy, and a number of other
primary university courses as well.
Words of Usama bin Laden
"The American
government is leading the country towards hell. ... We say to the
Americans as people and to American mothers, if they cherish their
lives and if they cherish their sons, they must elect an American
patriotic government that caters to their interests not the interests
of the Jews. If the present injustice continues with the wave of
national consciousness, it will inevitably move the battle to American
soil, just as Ramzi Yousef and others have done."
"All people who
worship Allah, not each other, are equal before Him. We are entrusted
to spread this message and to extend that call to all the people. We,
nonetheless, fight against their governments and all those who approve
of the injustice they practice against us. We fight the governments
that are bent on attacking our religion and on stealing our wealth and
on hurting our feelings. And as I have mentioned before, we fight
them, and those who are part of their rule are judged in the same
manner."
"In today's wars,
there are no morals, and it is clear that mankind has descended to the
lowest degrees of decadence and oppression."
"Every state and
every civilization and culture has to resort to terrorism under
certain circumstances for the purpose of abolishing tyranny and
corruption. Every country in the world has its own security system and
its own security forces, its own police and its own army. They are all
designed to terrorize whoever even contemplates to attack that country
or its citizens. The terrorism we practice is of the commendable kind
for it is directed at the tyrants and the aggressors and the enemies
of Allah, the tyrants, the traitors who commit acts of treason against
their own countries and their own faith and their own prophet and
their own nation. Terrorizing those and punishing them are necessary
measures to straighten things and to make them right. Tyrants and
oppressors who subject the Arab nation to aggression ought to be
punished. The wrongs and the crimes committed against the Muslim
nation are far greater than can be covered by this interview. America
heads the list of aggressors against Muslims."
"The call to wage
war against America was made because America has spear-headed the
crusade against the Islamic nation, sending tens of thousands of its
troops to the land of the two Holy Mosques over and above its meddling
in its affairs and its politics, and its support of the oppressive,
corrupt and tyrannical regime that is in control. These are the
reasons behind the singling out of America as a target."
"The two explosions
that took place in Riyadh and in Khobar recently were but a clear and
powerful signal to the governments of the countries that willingly
participated in the aggression against our countries and our lives and
our sacrosanct symbols."
"It is an
invitation that we extend to all the nations to embrace Islam, the
religion that calls for justice, mercy and fraternity among all
nations, not differentiating between black and white or between red
and yellow except with respect to their devotedness. All people who
worship Allah, not each other, are equal before Him. We are entrusted
to spread this message and to extend that call to all the people. We,
nonetheless, fight against their governments and all those who approve
of the injustice they practice against us. We fight the governments
that are bent on attacking our religion and on stealing our wealth and
on hurting our feelings. And as I have mentioned before, we fight
them, and those who are part of their rule are judged in the same
manner."
"The fate of any
government which sells the interests of its own people and, betrays
the nation and commits offenses which furnish grounds for expulsion
from Islam, is known. We expect for the ruler of Riyadh the same fate
as the Shah of Iran. We anticipate this to happen to him and to the
influential people who stand by him and who have sided with the Jews
and the Christians giving them free reign over the land of the two
Holy Mosques. These are grave offenses that are grounds for expulsion
from the faith. They shall all be wiped out."
"After our
victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed
millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the
superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a
superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and
prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that
the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared.
They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the
American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition
to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. ... As
I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American
soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper
tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his
army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all
that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War in which it
destroyed the infrastructure and the milk and dairy industry that was
vital for the infants and the children and the civilians and blew up
dams which were necessary for the crops people grew to feed their
families. Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of
world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it
forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and
disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling
itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its
politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that
they were unworthy of them. I was in Sudan when this happened. I was
very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was
every Muslim."
"When people see a strong horse and a
weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse."
"Our terrorism against America is a
good terrorism to stop the oppressor from committing unjust acts and
to stop America supporting Israel, which is killing our
children."
