Some people want to act like Bin-Laden is in no way representative of Muslims. But the truth of the matter is that he was probably the most popular figure in the entire Muslim world in the immediate years after 9/11. The most popular name given new-born Muslim babies in many Muslim countries post 9/11 was "Osama". As I linked in other threads, Bin Laden's approval rating throughout the Muslim world in the years after 9/11 was extremely high. It was around 50-60% in many Muslim countries.

He's not nearly as popular any more, probably because he's been killing too many Muslims lately and not enough Americans.

Anyway, to act like Bin-Laden was not an extremely popular figure in the Muslim world is a complete lie.

Now it's starting to look like they may not build the mosque there after all.

It was a pretty sick time. "Leaders" responsible for senseless and widespread mass murder enjoyed strangely high approval ratings in certain parts of the world from 2001-2004.
