Re <<Do you have much sense of who bin Laden is and his position in the Muslim world? >> I have known about Bin Laden and have read about him for several years. He is very radical and is from the soony faction. His military accomplishment at a very young age against USSR is well documented. He was trained by CIA to fight against the Russians. He is no doubt an accomplished soldier and a very savvy motivator and organizer. He is intelligent yet crazy, a dangerous combination. He has very small number of followers but they are willing to die for the cause. He like many Moslem is against the proliferation of "unislamic" elements like playboy and soap operas. He believes that US is very much responsible for this and he is against US foreign policy in his "holy land". Re <<Do you have a feeling of how visible the terrorist organization is to the average Muslim?>> To an average Moslem, zero. Keep in mind that there are about 1 Billion Moslems in the world. According to %99.99 of the Moslem, terrorist and Laden are regarded as who they are, radicals with complete disregard to humanity and real fundamentals of Islam. Christianity does not support killing abortion doctors, and 99.99% of the Christians do not see it that way. Re <<A couple of articles on bin Laden say that he is opposed to the current Saudi gov't? Are the Saudis perceived like Americans...fat and rich?>> He is against Saudi Government because the Saudi government is allowing US to occupy the Moslem land. He believes that Saudi government is allowing US to proliferate non Islamic principle into a wholly land. Re <<Sorry if these questions are inappropriate in any way.>> Not at all. Mani
