One more comment: Most Muslims consider anything bin Laden does as being against God's will. Killing the innocent is against God's will.

Yet bin Laden has already taken action which most consider against God's will. He's moralized such actions on his own or using guidance from others.

This latest report of bin Laden seeking opinion as to whether its legitimate (in Gods eyes, not his) to use nuclear or other mass destruction weapons should therefore serve as another example of how far he is willing to go.

Unless bin Laden actually worries about becoming a pariah, we should probably assume that he will do anything that he feels is necessary to his battle, all justified as being under God's will.
