It surprises me every September 11th how incredibly literate Osama Bin Laden's anniversary epistles are. He makes for a fascinating arch-nemesis. Take this for example, in response what he calls the neo-conservative charge that America must fight Muslims in order to avoid another Jewish holocaust:

I saw, refuting this unjust statement, that the morality and culture of the holocaust is your culture, not our culture: In fact, burning living beings is forbidden in our religion, even if they be small like the any, so what of man?! The holocaust of the Jews was carried out by your brethren in the middle of Europe, but had it been closer to our countries, most of the Jews would have been saved by taking refuge with us. And my proof for that is in what your brothers, the Spanish, did when they set up the horrible courts of the Inquisition to try Muslims and Jews, when the Jews only found safe shelter by taking refuge in our countries. And that is why the Jewish community in Morocco today is one of the largest communities in the world. They are alive with us and we have not incinerated them...

It's shockingly effective rhetoric, as long as you take his claim at face value. And certainly, to a traditionalist Muslim, this must seem infinitely more convincing than anything coming from the forked tongues of Bush, Cheney, or Pearle.
