You have acknowledged my point I wanted to make and now you are simply trying to make your point with suggesting that Osama is intent on a regime which is just as oppressive as what now exists in Saudi. It is your suggestion and thereby it's yours to prove, not mine to disprove. I also understand that you have to imagine the worst with Osama because of your American need to demonize him. And in fact you come off as sounding a little foolish in the first place to even suggest that you have any concerns about the plight of the Saudi people.
(1) He has openly stated his desire to reestablish the caliphate, which existed in history and which was notoriously aggressive, belligerent, and repressive. Do you deny this?
(2) I don't care in the slightest about bin Laden and so feel no need to "demonize" him. He is not a leader in any sense of the word, only a financier -- and his financial assets are now largely frozen. I could attribute your desire to evangelize him to your Canadianness, but I tremble for fear of being dragged before your dread Human Rights Commissions!
(3) I don't care in the slightest about Saudis, either, and nothing I've ever said should indicate as much.
Why should a nationalist not care about others when it is clear from the start that he has devoted his life to fighting for others and against first Soviet aggression and now US aggression.
You're misunderstanding me.
If his motives were exclusively nationalistic he would not give a fig about Jordanians.
But he does give a fig about Jordanians. Ergo his motives must not be exclusively nationalistic.
Religious nationalism? That's amusing and you must tell me more. I recognize too that your continuing use of the word 'infidel' has a purpose but it is only serving your own purpose.
Continuing? That's the first time I've used the word "infidel" in this thread and, as far as I can recall, any time within the last few months.
I refer to the distinction between the dar al-Islam and the dar al-Harb.
. Does it not suffice to say that he is fighting imperialist evil for a Muslim cause which he envisions as the choice of his people?
That's an assertion, not an argument.
Re: "the choice of his people", I am again uninterested. The interests of the west do not align in favor of a united Middle Eastern caliphate with all the attendant belligerence and oppression and so it must not be permitted. That's all.
You decided in the beginning to play a game of picking out typos and spelling mistakes.
I defy you to point out where I've challenged you on typos. This is an Internet forum, not a term paper.
Do not call me a petty little man. It is against the rules! I have reported your post for that.
You bait me on the basis of a lie and then report me for calling you out on it? You are twice as petty as I thought originally. And moreover you have no stomach for banter.
