Fatwa  In the 7 years since 9/11, there has been a deluge of
media distortion and academic misrepresentation in the West that
has obscured the primary reason for the attacks; the reason that
Osama bin Laden dictates in clearly-worded religious edicts that
were broadcast for the entire world to see. Leftists singled out
our support for Israel and exploitation of oil resources as the
offending sins. Some Evangelicals pointed to homosexuality and
the depravity of our pop culture. President Bush was perhaps the
vaguest of all, emphasizing that our political freedoms and
personal liberty had offended the sensitive Muslims. The truth
is that Bin Laden cited the defilement of the two Islamic holy
cities as his sole justification for declaring war in 1996, and
his primary rallying cry to consolidate the jihad in 1998.
