Sam, I think you've buried your nose in a certain way of logic on 9-11, diverting it to being about paradise. That does not ring a bell with me at all, it sounds irrelevant, like something someone is trying very hard to say about something that has been talked to death, in original form. My example is you quote the words of bin Laden talking about why he hated America for having troops on Muslims soil, and take him at his word. This is like the most obtuse or unconscious form of confirmation bias - that is to put undue power on the things you think you know because you heard them. What if bin Laden was trying to flip the Muslim world against the House Of Saud? He was said to have offered his own troops to come in instead of Americans, which would be like Caesar crossing the Rubicon. He had visions of being the Great Muslim leader, not a great Muslim scholar. This religious fervor seems to be deep in the Arab and Muslim peoples' blood.
