So were his very different reasons for calls to war directed to fellow Muslims. The reasons for war against Americans were not defense, justice or reciprocity. The reasons were theological hatred and genocide because Americans were infidels.
"Soon after 9/11, an influential group of Saudi apologists wrote an open letter to the United States saying,
"The heart of the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims is justice, kindness, and charity."
Outraged by such a claim, Bin Laden discretely wrote (in Arabic) to the Saudis the following:
"As to the relationship between Muslims and infidels, this is summarized by the Most High's Word: "We renounce you. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us — till you believe in Allah alone" [Koran 60:4]."
"So there is an enmity, evidenced by fierce hostility from the heart. And this fierce hostility — that is, battle — ceases only if the infidel submits to the authority of Islam, or if his blood is forbidden from being shed, or if Muslims are at that point in time weak and incapable. But if the hate at any time extinguishes from the heart, this is great apostasy! Allah Almighty's Word to his Prophet recounts in summation the true relationship: "O Prophet! Wage war against the infidels and hypocrites and be ruthless. Their abode is hell — an evil fate! [9:73]." Such, then, is the basis and foundation of the relationship between the infidel and the Muslim. Battle, animosity, and hatred — directed from the Muslim to the infidel — is the foundation of our religion."

Whoever says that America has never had trouble with Muslims forgets the fact that Jihadis were enslaving, torturing and murdering Americans from the days of our War of Independence. We went into debt to create a navy and Marine Corps to fight these faithful Muslims into a temporary setback and a treaty of peace (which was later broken by them).
"The idea that [Muslims] hate us because of what we're doing in "their region" also founders on the fact that it wouldn't be "their region" at all had it not been for a series of aggressive jihad conquests against peoples who were not waging war against the Muslims or threatening them in any way.
"As The History of Jihad shows, there have been 1,400 uninterrupted years of jihad conquest, and never a period in which there were cordial relations of mutual respect between Muslim and non-Muslim political entities, based on the non-Muslim entities' good behavior in staying out of "their region."

Because their stated missions were so patriotic and humanitarian.
"NGOs are now planning a color revolution in the United States using Americans’ tax money. The Rockefeller, Koch, Soros foundations intend to break us. And they have a trillion a year to spend using our repurposed tax money."

Why not destroy the world's political and historic realities with deluded politically-correct fantasies and call them Truth?
"A feminist historian argues William Shakespeare did not write his famous plays and sonnets. The real author was a black Jewish woman, she claims.
Irene Coslet makes the assertion in her new book “The Real Shakespeare: Emilia Bassano Willoughby,” published by Pen and Sword Books, according to The Telegraph."
