INTERVIEW WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN
Many Americans believe that fighting army to army like what
happened in Afghanistan is heroic for either army. But sending
off bombs, killing civilians like in the World Trade Center is
terrorism.
... After our victory over the Russians in Afghanistan, the international and the American mass media conducted fierce campaigns against us ... . They called us terrorists even before the mujahedeen had committed any act of terrorism against the real terrorists who are the Americans. On the other hand, we say that American politics and their religion do not believe in differentiating between civilians and military, between infants and animals, or among any human groups. ...
Our mothers and daughters and sons are slaughtered every
day with the approval of America and its support. And, while
America blocks the entry of weapons into Islamic countries, it
provides the Israelis with a continuous supply of arms
allowing them thus to kill and massacre more Muslims. Your
religion does not forbid you from committing such acts, so you
have no right to object to any response or retaliation that
reciprocates your own actions. But, and in spite of this, our
retaliation is directed primarily against the soldiers only
and against those standing by them. Our religion forbids us
from killing innocent people such as women and children. This,
however, does not apply to women fighters. A woman who puts
herself in the same trench with men, gets what they get. ...
The American people, by and large, do not know the name bin
Laden, but they soon likely will. Do you have a message for
the American people?
I say to them that they have put themselves at the mercy of a disloyal government, and this is most evident in Clinton's administration ... . We believe that this administration represents Israel inside America. Take the sensitive ministries such as the Ministry of Exterior and the Ministry of Defense and the CIA, you will find that the Jews have the upper hand in them. They make use of America to further their plans for the world, especially the Islamic world. American presence in the Gulf provides support to the Jews and protects their rear. And while millions of Americans are homeless and destitute and live in abject poverty, their government is busy occupying our land and building new settlements and helping Israel build new settlements in the point of departure for our Prophet's midnight journey to the seven heavens. America throws her own sons in the land of the two Holy Mosques for the sake of protecting Jewish interests. ...
