Osama bin Laden, Founder of Al-Qaeda, Date Undetermined

“Offensive Jihad is an established and basic tenet of this religion. It is a religious duty rejected only by the most deluded. So how can they [Saudi intellectuals] call off this religious obligation [Offensive Jihad], while imploring the West to understandings and talks “under the umbrella of justice, morality, and rights”? The essence of all this comes from right inside the halls of the United Nations, instead of the Divine foundations that are built upon hating the infidels, repudiating them with tongue and teeth till they embrace Islam or pay the jizya with willing submission and humility.”Raymond Ibrahim, trans., The Al-Qaeda Reader (New York: Doubleday, 2007), 32.
