Why some people support OBL
Here is something we should all keep in mind:
Global Islam does not need an actual terrorist structure, just enough people that agree/support the ideals and they can act alone/ organise a small group to do damage from the petty to the monstrous.

To better understand (so we can fight it) the ideological support for Binny, here are the words of a supporter (ed for length, posted on an Islamist website published in the USA www.as-sahwah.com):
I support Sheikh Osama bin Laden (hafidhahullah) because it is my understanding that he is acting according to Quran and Sunnah, and that in doing his duty, as a Muslim, he is obeying Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) alone. Everything that he does and says is motivated by his desire to do what is right, as judged by Quran and Sunnah.

I support him because it is my understanding that he is a devout and humble Muslim, much given to remembering Allah (SWT). In truth, I support him - and applaud his actions - because he is an excellent example of all the virtues that a good Muslim should aspire to, as even a brief knowledge of his life will show. He has spent many, many years of life living simply, among the Mujahideen, fighting the kuffar, risking his life everyday. He has given up a life of luxury to do his Islamic duty. For over a year he and a few Mujahideen have outwitted the combined military might, and the money, of the kuffar. Thus, it is my view that he is and should be an inspiration, an example, a role model, for Muslims, young and old.

However, I know there are Muslims who do not support Sheikh Osama bin Laden (hafidhahullah) and who condemn his actions and those of the Muslims who have been inspired by him. If they are sincere in their objections, then they should produce evidence, from Quran and Sunnah, and this should be discussed. It might be that, after such a discussion, we agree to differ, in a reasonable way. This is the honourable, the Muslim, thing to do. Furthermore - and of vital importance - if the kuffar decide to attack and kill Muslims, if they decide to and do invade a Muslim land, if they humiliate Muslims, if they seek to replace our Islamic values, our Way of Life, with their own, if they ask us to help find and capture and hand-over to them one of our brothers, our sisters, then we should and must forget our differences, and - as Muslims - unite to fight the kuffar.
"Then fight in Allah's cause - you will be held responsible only for yourself." Al-Nisa:84 Interpretation of Meaning

"Whoever aids an oppressor, or taught him an argument to nullify the right of an ordinary Muslim, has drawn upon himself the anger of Allah". 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood
For it is much better not to betray a fellow Muslim to the kuffar - even if that Muslim might be wrong - than it is to allow the kuffar to shed Muslim blood.
"Whoever protects the honour of his brother, Allah will protect his face from hell on the Day of Judgment." (Ahmad and Tirmidhi).
Therefore, what we should do is unite, and fight the kuffar.
SNIP the spittle and on to the religious justification for Binnie Laden
"And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out." [2:191 Interpretation of Meaning]

And when you punish them (your enemy) then do so with the like of that with which you were afflicted by them" [16:126 Interpretation of Meaning]
"Your wish for the Crusaders should be the same as in this verse of poetry: The only language between you and us is the sword that will strike your necks." Sheikh Usama bin Laden (hafidhahullah)
