The sad hypocrisy here is moderate Muslim leaders around the world declared over and over again that OBL was not practicing true Islam, and Islam is a religion of peace
"Now when ye
meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is
smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the
war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And
those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain (
Surah 47:4, emp. added)."
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the
Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Q 9:29)
“Strike off their heads and strike from them every fingertip” (Quran 8:12).
“Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; in exchange for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they slay and are slain” (Quran 9:111).
