Aggression by the West upon Islam

A statement praising Usama bin Laden and discussing his sayings was recently
distributed by a member of a password-protected al-Qaeda-affiliated forum,
in which the author argues that the "awe and power" of Islam has stricken
the European and American civilizations with fear and militancy. He believes
that Islam as a movement stands in contrast to the interest of the West, and
have branded those mujahideen once supported in Afghanistan during the
Soviet invasion as terrorists. The document reads: "It is only natural that
they wish that we shall not have power but rather servility and obedience to
them while they make use of our peoples as instruments for the fulfillment
of their goal."
Usama bin Laden, who is representative of those "jihad fighters" aided by
the U.S. during the Soviet-Afghan war, has chosen to donate the wealth Allah
provided him to the "service of the religion and for the raising of the
phrase of truth [No God, but Allah] in the face of America". The author
states that bin Laden seeks not only the promulgation of Islam, but
political goals in the founding of an Islamic state. References to ten
statements from bin Laden, indicating belligerence towards the West and
calls to jihad are provided by the author, amongst which he states: "Let
them come and catch us if they can. We have felt the waning of the strength
of the Americans. They are not willing to enter long wars, but only short
and cold wars, as their defeat in facing Somalia proves" and "Death is
easier for me than living in a European country".

"Fair Use" criteria established in Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976.
The principle of "Fair Use" was established as law by Section 107 of The
Copyright Act of 1976. "Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain
permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials
if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching, scholarship, and research." Section 107 establishes four criteria
for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies
as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four
criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is
determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not
substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
copyrighted material for purposes of your own that go beyond 'fair use,' you
