What if Osama bin Laden Had Legitimate Grievances? by Maj. Danny Sjursen

A close look at bin Laden’s fatwah against the US.

You’re not supposed to utter these words, but what the heck: Osama bin Laden had a point. No, his grievances, as well as those of his followers and sympathizers, didn’t excuse the mass murder of 9/11 – not by a long shot. After all, I am a native New Yorker whose family and neighborhood were directly touched by the horror of those inexcusable attacks. Still, more than 17 years after the attacks on the Pentagon and twin towers, it’s worth reflecting on bin Laden’s motives and discussing the stark fact that the United States government has made no moves to address his gripes.

      It’s the American way!”

  2. It’s a complicated question, Schluter. Bin Ladin denied he had anything to do with 9-11 (he believed it was wrong to kill innocent civilians).
