Youtube Description
Hello Friends! In this video I explore the theology of Osama bin Laden. What did he actually believe, and how did he use Islamic scripture, theologyand ideas about jihad to justify his actions? Rather than focusing only on his biography or politics, I look closely at the religious ideas that shaped his worldview and ask how those ideas relate to broader Islamic traditions.
