    Osama bin Laden is actually an intelligent and educated man who knows his
    motivations well. And contrary to popular belief, he and his followers and
    successors are not motivated by some kind of jealous envy of the western life-style or
    hatred of western values. Bin Laden stated his reasons for Jihad quite
    clearly: the Jihad is driven by the belief that we Americans are desecrating holy
    Muslim land through our support of Israel and through our military presence in
    Saudi Arabia

           I agree, he does not envy us. He detests us. As you just said our
    mere presence is enough to desecrate. The presence of a Jew in traditional
    Jewish land is a desecration.
