Mmw reading response week 9 Bin Laden

Bin Laden begins his address by claiming that the Arabic world has never been conquered by any force since it was created by god despite the best efforts of the crusaders (Bin Laden 2). It also seems that Bin Laden is calling for a civil discussion between the Arab nations and foreign powers to discuss the current situation. He speaks of the sword of god that will strike down enemies as warning to foreign powers that would dare infringe upon the holy land. Bin Laden claims that it America’s goal to destroy Iraq the strongest of the Arab lands and in the process cause the lesser lands to fragment apart (Bin Laden 3). This an interesting accusation against the American people which to my knowledge did not intend to destroy Iraq only prevent genocide in the region. Based upon this alleged American desire to destroy Iraq Bin Laden claims it is the duty of every Muslim to rise up and kill both American soldiers and civilians (Bin Laden 3). For accomplishing this task Bin Laden claims that the reward shall be great.
