Even Bin Laden had layers…
In another interview, when asked about his biography, Bin-Laden highlighted several biographical milestones that clarify how he chooses to present himself:
“I was born to two Muslim parents in Riad in 1377 according to the Hijeric era. My remaining years were passed in Mecca, Jeda and Al-Medina. My father, the sheikh Muhammad, who was born in Hatsarmavet (Yemen), came to Hijaz over seventy years ago in order to work. He had the honour of building the holy mosque in Mecca, where the ka’aba is located, and simultaneously he also built the mosque erected by the Prophet Muhammad in Al-Medina. Later, when it became known that the Jordanian government published a bid to renovate the Dome of the Rock mosque, he offered a fee lower than cost in order to ensure that he would be the one to renovate the mosque. In a nutshell, that is Osama Bin-Laden.”

“ Sex is a means. Evolution is a means. And the aim is a secular world. It’s a, in my opinion, a hedonistic, self-focused world that is, in my opinion, anti-American.
