Osama bin Laden:One Of The Most Notorious Men Of The Twentieth Century Known To Men For His Infamy.

Sylvanus Maria Mgbechukwu, Researcher, Poet, Author, Activist, Administrator and Writer, is the founder of Direction Arena and BestAdviceForAll.Com,
a forum and platform dedicated and committed to Truth and Rectitude, where people could find Illumination, Direction, Sound Advice, Guidance, Inspiration, Tips, Assistance, Support Or Help, to guide them in this “modern” world that have become a dark jungle and forest of dangerous ideologies, philosophies, ideas, learning, lies, propaganda and miseducation that ruin people due to lack of direction, guidance or enlightenment.

Osama bin Laden was born on March 10, 1957, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, into a wealthy and influential family. He studied economics and business administration at university.

Formation of al-Qaeda:

In the 1980s, bin Laden joined the Mujahideen fighting against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. After the Soviets withdrew, he founded the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda, aiming to establish a global Islamic caliphate.

September 11 Attacks:

Bin Laden became notorious for orchestrating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, which killed nearly 3,000 people. This event led to the U.S.-led War on Terror and invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Hiding and Death:

After 9/11, bin Laden went into hiding, evading capture for nearly a decade. On May 2, 2011, U.S. Navy SEALs killed him in a raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

He was one of the men remembered for the immense suffering, devastation and death they caused mankind through their ideas, ideologies and actions.

It is disheartening and unbelievable that while humanity remembers, with revulsion, this ugly past, and believes such atrocious history has become a thing of the past, some powerful and influential individuals and organizations have started to generate, project and spread ideas and ideologies that could ultimately bring immense suffering, devastation and death to their fellows.

In today’s world of liberalistic individualism where everything is permitted, anything is possible as well.

On this note, my passionate appeal and advice is that we should all strive to independently research and critically scrutinize, re-evaluate, and try to imagine the eventual outcome of any idea or ideology, being bandied about _irrespective of who is involved. This would enable us make informed, better, and perhaps, life-saving decisions, even if such idea or ideology comes from a political leader, a religious leader, a university professor or a world organization.

Nothing should be accepted as being good, proper or right, either on mere face-value or just because it came from a respected or exalted individual or organization. If we accept and subscribe to any idea or ideology on face value _because it sounds good or proper, or just because they are being projected by an exalted person or organization, like the media for instance, we run the risk of dismissing timely critics and naysayers, together with their words of caution, with a careless wave of hand, as ”unprogressive”, “bad” or “disloyal” people.

By dismissing critical scrutiny and research, and concluding every sweet-sounding, seemingly nice idea or ideology as being “good” or “modern” and therefore of no regrettable consequences, we may unknowingly, but culpably, be working to enable some remote ideologues to repeat such devastation, suffering and deaths as that of Osama bin Laden.

Like the many subscribers of Osama bin Laden’s ideas and ideologies which enabled him, back then, to gain popularity, power and control over those who carried out his orders or directives, we are just like the small but very necessary chain-parts which enable a machine to achieve heavy duties, _if we subscribe to his ideas and ideologies. This makes such subscribers culpable before Divine Justice on the Day of Reckoning.

If we disregard this appeal, and jump onto the bandwagon of “new age culture”, subscribing to its many dangerous ideologies and ideas, thereby helping to keep them spreading and flourishing, we may well be helping to prepare the ground for history to repeat itself, and thus damnably bring tragic or pernicious consequences upon ourselves when it happens!
