There was an excellent article in the NYPost by NR's former editor, John O'Sullican. It explained that OBL combines Islamic fundamentalism with the usual Marxist arguments against the US and western civ, which are ignorant to the extreme but always appeal to Leftists and to that basic human sin - envy. It's not available on the web. A quote: ...As commentator James C. Bennett has observed, radical Islamism is the "bastard child" of fundamentalist Islam and of the neo-Marxist theories of dependency that explain Third World poverty as the result of Western exploitation. Of course, just the opposite is true. He goes on to explain that they also use this to explain the long decline of Islamic civilization. I think the entire article is in NR's November 5 issue.: Fatal Contact by John O’Sullivan The Western influence on Islamic radicals.
