[QUOTE="ImperialJohn, post: 66490115"] Bin Laden deliberately recruited most of the hijackers from Saudi Arabia to try and embarrass their Royal Family for what they did in the first Gulf War with Saddam. I believe there were around 19 hijackers and all but 3 were Saudis. Bin Laden had a furious envious rage with the Saudis for inviting the Americans onto their soil in the early 90's to liberate Kuwait and deal with Saddam. He had previously offered his services to them and they had declined. Bin Laden I believe either had been kicked out the country or had terrorism charges placed on him and he was wanted back in Saudi Arabia and would have faced death sentence if he returned. His mindset was of someone in medieval times steeply rooted in Salafist Islam with a grudge against the House of Saud and the Americans. I completely agree with your thoughts though on Saudi Arabia. Both the Saudis and Iran are two branches of a religion still stuck in the dark ages. ISIS is just a small step from what is happening in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, Pakistan and elsewhere every day under Sharia Law. [/QUOTE]
