Although for much of the world Osama Bin Laden is the public face of contemporary Islamist fundamentalist terrorism, he is a hero for a significant Islamist fundamentalist minority for his violent resistance to Western encroachment on Islamic societies and the ‘apostate’ regimes currently ruling Muslim countries. Consequently, his words are of interest as well as important. This volume of quotations contains Bin Laden’s views on topics including the war in Iraq, women, the American people, drugs, various Al Qaeda attacks, the sex trade in the U.S., George Bush, Bill Clinton, Israel, Saudi Arabia and nuclear weapons. All quotations are cited as to date and are obtained from authentic and reliable sources.
