Aye, that's what I thought.
Reading that, it seemed to bring out the idea that, he knows what everyone in the West thinks of him, and knows how the West see themselves - but he's making the argument that this is in a sense evil v evil, rather than ye olde good versus evil.
Reading that back, it made no real sense to me. Meh.

No he can't! This is the thing - both are as bad as each other, just Bin Laden puts across a much more cogent argument about the evils of Western society - a lot of which we might feel. The difference is is that he and his small band are devoted to eraidcating ANYONE from this world who don't agree with him. I feel there are injustices in the Western world - but do I blow the crap out of 'infected infidels'? No!

Yes.

That almost makes his actions justifiable (but not quite).
I can't say I agree with attacking innocent people because they attacked yours, but I can see where he's coming from, and he'd make a much better President than Bush (and Kerry) - they'd all kill innocent people, but at least Bin Laden can justify it, unlike Bush (and probably Kerry).
Hmmm.
George Bush talks about God blessing him enough as well.
It's actually perfectly normal to say 'in-sha-allah' which means 'with the acceptance of Allah', as the English use 'hopefully'. It's just normal.
