I ran across this quote and I was suddenly struck by the possibility that young Issam's perception might be at the heart of Osama bin Laden's hatred for the West.

"Like many of the new generation, Issam (21) sees the forces of modernity and 'the West' as inevitable. The priority then becomes judging what can benefit Saudi society and what must be excluded to protect Islam. He looks up to and trusts the state to carry out this task."
Of course, one would think there's more to it than this, but I'd like the input from our Arab & Muslim community on this issue of
modernity and 'the West' as being an inevitable force and behind OBL's actions.
