In recent days, Usama bin Ladin's "Letter to America" has gone viral on TikTok, with many Western non-Muslims commenting on it and expressing surprise about its contents.
However, "Letter to America" is far less important that Bin Ladin's September 28, 2001 interview with Ummat. This took place right after the 9/11 attacks.
In the interview:
(1) Bin Ladin emphatically denies that he did the 9/11 attacks.
(2) Bin Ladin says that the 9/11 attacks are unacceptable because they killed women and children, and Islam rejects this.
(3) Bin Ladin says he is against the US government not the American people.
(4) Bin Ladin suggests that groups within US government (e.g., CIA) are actually responsible for the attacks, or at least have knowledge of who really perpetrated them.
(5) Bin Ladin asserts that the US government is slaughtering and oppressing countless Muslims because it is under control of a Jewish/Israel Lobby.
