1. Osama Bin Laden and America
By Tauqeer Ul Hassan
It is difficult to say it with surety that why Osama Bin Laden extremely dislike Americans.
US Presence in the Middle East
Presence of the US military in the Arabian Peninsula is known to be the most important
condition related to his hatred against Americans. Especially he became furious at the time
when United States of America send its army in the sacred land for Muslims, Saudi Arabia. His
point of view is that presence of American in the holy land is a thing that is against the religion
and unacceptable.
The Saudi Royal family allowed Americans to land out in Saudi Arabia which was a great shock
for Mr. Laden. Osama bin laden express his disappointment and anger towards this decision of
the Saudi Royal family to permitted Americans to land in the country. After that he become
more against America and shows his aggression towards Saudi command as well.
Pro-Israeli Policy of the U.S.
One more cause of the extreme dislike of the Osama Bin Laden to wards
the United States is its pristine support of the unfair Israeli stance over
the Arab region. A lot of Arabs agree with Osama on this point that the
United States is an unfair peace negotiator.
All the people who favor him believe that the United States approves all
the military usurpations of Israel whether they are according to the
international law or not. According to Osama, American existence in
Gulf was like bee in his bonnet; above all that Israeli occupations and
the American favor of the Jews in the state have further worsened the circumstances.
Because the US is Capitalist
There are some other views. One of the basic reasons of the hatred of bin laden is United States
position as industrialist. Osama and his followers' point of view is that America wanted to
occupy the oil wealth of the Arabian countries in a very systematic and organized way.
Another complaint they had is that the United States uses his armed forces and economic
power without regarding about United Nations resolutions. The United States utilize his powers
to influence leaders of the third world to serve its politics and have influence on the countries
to maintain his status as super power.
2. Imperialism
Osama bin laden and his followers charged another thing on United Status that the United
States is using his power in the countries where it has military occupation formerly and the
governments of these countries are alike puppets for it.
They also blame that the United States unseat the government who turn against it and deny
accepting his order.
There may be others factors about it that why Bin Laden do not like America or hate it. It can be
state that until unless these factors are present the issue of terrorism and insurgency is difficult
to resolve. It is also seem that it is difficult to bring any improvement in the political
circumstances in the Middle East without resolving such issues.
