Abstract
This paper describes Osama Bin Laden's life and its impact on his actions and outlook. The writer highlights Bin Laden's religious fervor and the development of his commitment to fundamentalist Islamic theology. In particular, the paper examines the relationship between Al Qaeda and the Taliban, which was based mainly on this shared fundamentalist religious philosophy. The paper concludes with a discussion of the 9/11 attacks.

From the Paper
"As Dennis Piszkiewicz writes in his 2003 book, Terrorism's War with America: A History, Bin Laden's background "emerges from a fog of vague and often contradictory tales," and warns that the details should be taken with a small helping of skepticism (Piszkiewicz 2003). Even the exact date of his birth is unclear, however he is believed to have been born sometime in the mid-1950's. One of the youngest of fifty siblings, he was born into one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia (LeVine 1999). His father, Mohammed Bin Laden moved from Yemen in to Saudi Arabia and eventually built up that country's largest construction company. Beginning in the 1950's, the Saudis began to build hospitals, schools, and roads, and on the "back of royal patronage," the Bin Ladens became incredibly rich in the process (LeVine 1999). Osama's mother was one of the last and least regarded of his father's many wives, thus with little status in the family, when Mohammed died in 1967, Osama turned to religion. Although there have been rumors that he was a playboy in London and Beirut during the 1970's, this is almost certainly false since he speaks poor English and no French, and appears to have been pious even as a child (LeVine 1999).

Introduction
Osama Bin Laden

From the Paper
"Osama Bin Laden is the head of one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations; namely The Al Qa'ida organization. This organization is difficult to fight in conventional terms as it is characterized by its networking style of operation which makes the organization difficult to track and combat. (Al-Qaeda. Wikipedia.) Another factor which makes conventional military actions difficult is that the organization is also obscure in terms of its membership and leadership hierarchy. While Osama Bin Laden is the ostensible leader and symbolic head of the organization, the actual leadership structure is largely unknown. This leads to the realization that combating and countering Osama Bin Laden cannot be adequately achieved through formal military strategy."

Abstract
The paper provides a review of Osama Bin Laden's background and explains the history and structure of his organization. The paper explains his connections to fundamentalism and his links with other known terrorist groups. The paper describes Bin Laden's extreme hatred of the West and globalization and discusses how he has issued a "Jihad" (holy war) against the West for his and other terrorist organizations. The paper shows how Osama bin Laden's fundamentalist beliefs make him a danger to the western world and a deadly ally to many other terrorist groups determined to removed American "infidels" from the globe.

From the Paper
"Osama bin Laden was born in 1957 in Saudi Arabia. His family raised him in the strict Islamic tradition; he is a Sunni Muslim. He attended Abdul Ariz University in Jeddah, where he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. His father amassed a fortune in the construction industry; in fact, it was the largest construction company in Saudi Arabia and had close ties to the Saudi royal family. When his father died, Bin Laden became independently wealthy (Piszkiewicz 107). After he became disenchanted with western influence in Saudi Arabia and began organizing resistance, his family disowned him in 1994, and Saudi Arabia revoked his citizenship (Thackrah 189-190)."

Abstract
The paper looks at the many arguments for and against the validity of Bergen's "Holy War, Inc.". The paper shows how, although Bergen is capable of supporting his thesis in the book, his political views adversely affect the overall scope of the book, because they impact the author's final determination of how terrorism can be overcome in the modern world. The paper is of the opinion that despite its limitations, Bergen's work is essential reading for anyone who desires an insight into terrorism and bin Laden.

From the Paper
"Bergen's (2001) work reflects the results of extensive in-depth investigation of Osama bin Laden and al Queda, the leading terrorist threat to the United States. Bergen (2001) a journalist and producer, formerly with CNN and ABC, had the opportunity of continually gathering information and learning about the terrorist organization and its leader for his work. Additionally, as bin Laden continued to become more powerful as a terrorist leader, bin Laden wanted to spread his anti-American message throughout the world, specifically targeting the global Muslim community to gain support for his endeavors. Bin Laden believed that using CNN as a pulpit for his views was the most effective manner in accomplishing his goals, and therefore, Bergen (2001) was capable of not only obtaining information that most Americans are not privy to, he was capable of talking with bin Laden personally and sharing this experience with the world at bin Laden's request."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in psychology, paranoia is defined as a mental illness' in which somebody wrongly believes that they are hated or badly treated by others, and how, in this context, Adolph Hitler and Osama bin Laden do not have commonality of thought. It looks at how, although leaders of their respective groups or nations, both the men were poles apart. It shows how they belonged to two starkly opposite backgrounds, performed differently, were brought up in absolutely opposite environments, and functioned in this transitory world, thereby, spending their lives with a cause.

From the Paper
"Adolf Hitler was the head of the state and he brought much anguish as well as created extreme chaos in the lives of all Jews of his times. Evidence suggests that Hitler's personality problems also resulted partly due to religious influence; however, he received much of his inspiration for the heinous crime that he committed from his political environment as well as from his economic deprivation as a child and a teenager. On the other hand, Osama bin Laden is the leader of a religious group by the name Al-Qaida. The motives behind Laden's operation and the inspiration that motivated him to establish a religious group comes from the religious teachings. Osama bin Laden was never into politics and to date exhibits no such interests."

Abstract
The following paper is a fictitious response to Osama Bin Laden's terrorist arguments, which describes and justifies the actions a government would have to undertake to combat terrorists.

From the Paper
Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist Al-Qaeda organization have
committed a number of atrocities in recent years, culminating in the horrific attacks of September 11th 2001. They continue to postulate justifications for their actions, and present arguments in support of their continuing jihad, or "holy war" against the non-Islamic West, and the United States of America in particular. Following the recent Al-Qaeda terrorist activity, this Government has resolved both to address the terrorists' arguments and explain the number of wide-ranging actions and initiatives that have been implemented in order to combat this grave terrorist threat.

Abstract
Origins
Osama Bin Laden

From the Paper
"A crucial part of the history of Al Qa'ida is that the fight against the Soviet Union was not conducted in conventional terms, but was seen as a holy war against the aggressor. This resulted in volunteers and supporters from throughout the Muslim world rallying to the call. Furthermore, the resistance experience fused together Islamic fighters from a wide range of backgrounds and views to create the central kernel of the new organization. "Muslims from Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Southeast Asia, and beyond fought side by side, forging relationships and creating a cadre of veterans who shared a powerful life experience, a more global view,..."
