As I read the article it struck me how the little that Bin Laden did say about capitalism was spun as if it was the first time he had mentioned global capitalism as a problem. I mean the guy did target the World Trade Center after all (if you beleve that version of the story). The article attempted to claim that he had never before mentioned the role of capitalism and corporations in the unevenness of the world. It also claimed that he had never seperated the US rulers from the people, which is utterly false.
When I first heard the term "islomo-fascist" I thought it a simple propaganda move by the neo-cons, however if one looks historically at the loss of an alternative to capitalism... who was it that said behind every instance of fascism there is an oppressed socialist revolution.
