"The extraordinary pictures show 22 members of the Bin Laden family posing in front of a pink Cadillac. All are dressed in western clothes - the 14-year-old Osama sports a skinny-rib jumper and electric blue flares."[1]
"The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone."--"Letter to America" (2002) by Osama bin Laden |

Osama bin Laden (1957 – 2011) was a member of the prominent Saudi bin Laden family and the founder of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, best known for the September 11 attacks on the United States. Al-Qaeda has also been associated with numerous other mass casualty attacks against civilian targets.
In "Letter to America" (2002) he criticized the U.S. for its secular form of governance, calling upon Americans to convert to Islam and "reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling, and usury."
