Have you?
> You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator.
> [...] the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense
> We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest"
And there's more of this all over this letter. Just because he mentioned a tit-for-tat rationalization first and addresses American's actions (does it really surprises you in a "Letter to America"?), it doesn't remove the ideology behind it. It's also very ironic to see this letter brought up by leftist/progressive people as a justification for "resisting" the way Hamas does (because that is what is happening on TikTok, maybe you haven't watched the videos and read the comments). Almost none of the values they claim to care about would be left if Bin Laden or the Hamas had it their way.
> There were lots of liberal western countries that didn't get 9/11ed, so "he hated our freedoms" lacks explanatory power if nothing else.
Are you trying to rewrite history that's not even 25 years old? London, Madrid, Paris (to mention only the largest) all had sizable attacks from Al-Qaeda or their sprouts after 9/11, they don't count unless it caused above 1000 deaths or something? With their limited means (relative to the undertaking), they have managed to struck the biggest target they could on 9/11 and cause the most death and destruction in any Western democracy in a terrorist act.
