Osama bin Laden

“We believe that the biggest thieves in the world and the biggest terrorists in the world are the Americans.”

“Our terrorism is against the United States, which is against Muslims. We do not have to differentiate between military and civilians. As far as we are concerned, they are all targets.”

“Hostility toward America is a religious duty, and we hope to be rewarded for it by God.”

“We are seeking to incite the Islamic Nation to rise up to liberate its land and to conduct jihad for the sake of God.”

“I was not fighting against the particular individual, but I was fighting against the system... which made the people slaves.”

“The war is for the liberation of Jerusalem. We will not stop our struggle until we are victorious or we meet God.”

“We will continue this battle, God willing, until we release the entire Palestinian land, and the entire Islamic nation.”

“The winds of faith are blowing, and the winds of change, which will remove injustice and tyranny.”

“If inciting people to do that is terrorism, and if killing those who kill our sons is terrorism, then let history be a witness that we are terrorists.”

“These events have divided the whole world into two sides. The side of believers and the side of infidels.”

“Every Muslim, from the moment they realize the distinction in their hearts, hates Americans, hates Jews, and hates Christians.”

“They [the Americans] have been stealing our wealth and our oil for years, and they are continuing to do so.”
