Talking about terrorist is something confusing for everyone, particularly for Moslem fellows. Take for example, Osama bin Laden case. Western and its allies call him “ a leader of terrorist”, while that of Arab fellows or the majority of “ Moslems’ over the word call him “a hero.” Toward this case, I believe that plenty of people call Osama bin Laden a hero and the rest of them call him a terrorist. There are some arguments why Osama is called a terrorist.
Those reasons can be right for those who are in favor of making him as a hero, but wrong for those who are in favor of making him as terrorist. First, Osama had attacked WTC in New York City on September 2001. At least 3000 innocent people were killed. The business in NYC was down afterward. People there were panic knowing the terrible situation. Second, he funded many radical Islam movements in the world which always against the US and its allies. Many agencies reported the issue how he funded many radical Islam over the word. The clear examples are in Somalia, in Iraq, in Indonesia, and so many other countries. Wherever the radical Moslems were existed, Osama would always behind them and supported them fully. Third, he always called Moslems over the world to rebel US foreign policy. Osama always called Moslems to hate America and all countries which become its allies. He implanted hatred into the heart of human being that America is a big enemy for Moslems. He always campaigned that the world trouble maker was US because it always infiltrates other countries’ domestic policy. All in all, for me, it is very clear that Osama bin Laden will always be considered as a terrorist due to those three reasons.
In conclusion, I believe that Osama is a true terrorist due to the following arguments. First, he attacked civilian people in WTC NY in 2001. Second, he kept on donating his money to support Islamic radicals over the world. Finally, he always preached to revolt US foreign policy or anti-democratic ideology which is now phenomenal in the majority of Moslems countries
