Question

Why were the saudi public so supportive of osama bin laden after 9/11?

Answer 1

bcause most people who are not aquinted with the teachings of islam think that osama bin laden is a muslim fighting for an islamic cause,but far from it osama is not even a muslim he is a converted jew  who works for the CIA ,why do you think they cant find him ?

Answer 2

who says we were all so supportive of him?.. and why did SaudiArabia ban him from the country then?

Answer 3

......I think you mislead the information about saudi people from Iraqis......its not saudis who support osama but iraqis does....

Answer 4

check your info again because that is wrong. don't just assume things.

Answer 5

Do you have any objective sources or are you just assuming.

If your question is regarding this link: http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/... you should read it right and not only the headline.

Most Saudis like what Osama said about what's going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Or about America and the Zionist conspiracy but not what he does.

Your question should be addressed to the Taliban which would lead to the question why the Taliban were supported by the Americans.

Answer 6

absolutely wrong assumption

however, many people in the muslims world (not only saudi) think 911 is a conspiracy theory and was an inside job. Actually many people in the west as well think the same.

So, these muslims think Osama is a victim and he did nothing of terrorism. So, they show sympathy because of that, not because he killed innocent people.
