America has been filled with horror from north to south
and east to west What America is tasting now is only
a copy of what we have tasted.
Our Islamic nation has been tasting the same for more
than 80 years of humiliation and disgrace, its sons killed
and their blood spilled, its sanctities desecrated
A million innocent children are dying at this time as we
speak, killed in Iraq without any guilt. We hear no
denunciation, we hear no edict from the hereditary
rulers Israeli tanks rampage across Palestine, in
Ramallah, Rafah and Beit Jala and many other parts of
the land of Islam, and we do not hear anyone raising his
voice or reacting. But when the sword fell upon America
after 80 years, hypocrisy raised its head up high.
-Osama bin Laden,
October 2001
What does bin Laden view as the great hypocrisy with
respect to Muslim nations?
Islamic nations have been humiliated for 80 years,
but Western countries have known no such
humiliation
The world is outraged by violent actions against
Westerners, but not by those against Muslim
nations and people.
Israel has raised arms against Muslims in Islamic
lands, but not against Christians in the US.
The US involves itself in the affairs of Muslim
nations, but Muslim nations are meant to stay quiet
on American affairs.
