“[W]e kill their innocents—this is valid both religiously and logically… We treat others like they treat us. Those who kill our women and our innocent, we kill their women and innocent, until they stop doing so.”Bruce Lawrence, trans., Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden (London: Verso, 2005), 119.
