A year later in 1989 the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan, soon after that bin laden returned to Saudi Arabia to step up fundraising for the new and more complicated mission (History.com 2009). The pro-Western Saudi royal family feared that bin Laden’s fiery pan-Islamist rhetoric might cause trouble in the kingdom, so they tried to keep him quite as they could. Therefore, the royal family took away his passport and refused to accept his offer to send “Afghan Arabs” to guard the borders after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 (History.com 2009). However, the Saudi royal family did not make it any better when they sought help from the “infidel” U.S. instead.

It is very agreeable to say that Osama Bin Laden was the CEO of all CEO when it came to managing his terrorist people (Hoffman 1999, 2). Considering his enormous success his influence among them was boundless. He could easily have been the “face” for western terror. What he was able to accomplish was quite an accomplishment, and until today the western world, specifically America, continue to be in great danger because of his success. I believe he had incomparable attributes.

This is a Muslim duty. We also know that Muslims believe
