..Bin Laden's quotes from the Quaran resonated in my brain: "When you meet the unbelievers, strike them in the neck." "If you do not go out and fight, God will punish you severely and put others in your place." "Wherever you find the polytheists, kill them, seize them, besiege them, ambush them." "You who believe, do not take the Jews and Christians as friends; they are allies only to each other. Anyone who takes them as an ally becomes one of them. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
About This Quote

Osama bin Laden was a radical Islamic terrorist who fought against the United States in Afghanistan and was killed by a U.S. commando raid on his compound in Pakistan. Bin Laden is a name most people associate with terrorism. The quote above, however, is from a book written by him, 33 Meditations of the Prophet.

In the book, he gives his own interpretation of the Quran – or what Muslims believe is their holy book – and what it means to be a good Muslim. In this quote, bin Laden calls for people to fight against the polytheists – those who are not Muslims – wherever they can find them. He also calls for Muslims to wage war against the non-Muslims – those who do not follow Islam – and be kind only to Muslims themselves.
