Open letter to O/Usama bin Laden

I think I have a solution to your problem that doesn’t result in us, the civilized and more conscious world, eliminating you and your like from the surface of the Earth.

The civilized nations of the greater world will select a world for you, your lieutenants, and your homosexual tending boys; a place where you may all live in safety, our safety.  Something like a habitable island.  An island is an excellent choice, easy to watch, easy to patrol.

You and the selected others will not be given an option.  Your world, that we will select, is your entire world.  You are free to run it as you see fit.  For possible other malcontents, transportation to your world will be an option.  Anyone is free to choose to be a resident of your world.  Any person will be given free transport to your world, free for the asking.  !! Caveat:  Don’t expect much female presence, essence, in your world.  The essence of the Feminine principal, embracing the natural and nurturing energies of life, finds your world repellent.  Women won’t be screaming to get in.

Do not doubt our ability.  We will make it so.  To the sum of the sentient beings on this planet, you are but a minor irritant, ignorant and blind, though we grant that you certainly are an outstanding representative of the lunatic fringe.  In terms of number and percentage, however, you are insignificant.

We, not the least of which includes your birthplace, Saudi Arabia, are rich and powerful.  We are all of the civilized nations of the world.  We include thinkers, philosophers, poets, and lovers of all persuasions.  We, indeed, also include warriors, very many warriors, powerful and proven warriors.  We prefer loving and gentle ways, but we are not ignorant in the use of force.  We know the ways of war.

We feel the loss of those whose lives you have taken, but our numbers and strength are not measurably diminished.  Yet, you have captured our attention.  Like a misbehaving child, you deserve compassion.  Like a misbehaving child, your behaviors have found their limit.  We will no longer tolerate your angry pestilence.  You must be quarantined from the greater world.  You have chosen not to be of us, therefore we will make it so.

The scenario is, after all, a win win scenario.  You get to practice life according to your rules and understanding, and the rest of us (by far the vast majority), can get on with practicing life as we see fit.

Probably worth mentioning, is the point that you and everyone else in your world will not be allowed the option of returning to our world.  It is a one-way decision for each of you.  You and the other Selected inhabitants have made your decision in your actions.  We reject those actions and we hold you accountable for them.  Your consequence is that we will forcibly restrict your ability to harm us by isolating you from us.  As to the (theoretical) voluntary immigrants to your world, let them make their decision carefully, with true wisdom.  We do not doubt our ability to keep you there.  There is no return.  Choose your poison - we have no need for your salvation.

All of the above is, of course, speculative.  It assumes the possibility that we, the vast majority, do not snuff out your life as we would a midge attempting to suck out our life’s blood – small chance of any consequential damage, but still not to be tolerated.  Let us presume that ensuing events do not include your termination.  Start thinking about how, once all of you are in your new perfect world, how you will then kill your way into Heaven.

While you are at it, you might begin to wonder how you could manage to bring ecstasy to those many waiting virgins.

And, oh by the way, fuck you.
