Osama bin Laden: 9/11 mastermind and Gen Z darling.
Never mind his poor record on women’s and gay rights. Also the massacre of more than 3,000 innocent Americans – an attack that turned Manhattan into a cancerous pit that continues to kill first responders to this day.
He must be thinking.
Osama Laden was killed by Navy Seals in 2011, but his unexpected resurgence came from a young progressive woman who discovered his 2002 “Letter to America” laying out our nation’s sins that led to 9/11.
In the grand tradition of TikTokers claiming bold social breakthroughs, the letter went viral on the Chinese-owned app that also acts as an echo chamber of America-hating.
Going viral these days is pretty uncommon. What really hurts here is the massive embrace of bin Laden’s disgusting manifesto.
Guess which of his ideas appeals to these new students who eagerly film themselves with momentary clarity as if they’ve just finished watching a Netflix series.

Useful idiots are, in Gen Z vernacular “here for it.”
And “it”?
Jew-hater Bin Laden, called the creation of Israel a “crime that must be eradicated” and accused the United States of attacking “us in Palestine.”
Every aha moment they’re pretty much the same: heavy on clichés and f-bombs, short on details.

“I need everyone to stop what they’re doing right now,” said content creator Lynette Adkins who has more than 177,000 TikTok followers. “Go read ‘Letter to America.’ And please come back here and let me know what you think. Because I feel like I’m going through an existential crisis right now.”
A blonde chick proudly likens her rise from the al Qaeda founder’s illiberal list to the way she “unmasked Christianity,” no doubt to convert faith to a far more fervent social justice conspiracy.
One of the 20 things 9/11 declared was “our government building that is failing other nations.” Another put his video to music, bin Laden’s discipline is really fighting for the fair sex.

The lengthy list, originally published by The Guardian in 2002, also notes that the American public is complicit and, therefore, fair game for terrorists.
After it went viral, The Guardian took it down and redirected readers to the full original news article.
Cue Adkins – whose Instagram is filled with pictures of her in skimpy clothes in various cities – complaining about her removal.
“We already don’t trust you guys, and now you’re trying to censor us,” Adkins said, in a social video that has more than 78,000 views.

My dear, may I suggest you associate with a different historical figure, named Noah Webster. He is widely credited with creating the first American dictionary, where you can find the definition of censorship.
A concept you’ll find prevalent in bin Laden’s Sharia paradise — all of which is laid out in the second part of his letter.
He hates our way of life. We have homosexuals here, gambling and sexual women. He also took Bill Clinton’s job for his Oval Office speech. What a killjoy.

Unlike these kids, I was fresh out of college when 9/11 happened, that horrific day and its aftermath, tattooed on my soul. I don’t need an app that aims to bring down Western Civilization to explain anything.
But I found Stanford student and Free Press writer Julia Steinberg’s explanation of how TikTok has rotted the brain fascinating.
“Through osmosis, we unwittingly put out the same things that were presented to us in 30-second videos. The same critical theory books we read championing “decolonization” and “resistance” have been distilled into the perfect format: the explainer video.”
In other words, it’s a lazy young woman’s guide to radicalism. No need to read a whole book to understand a broader concept: get your worldview confirmed in less time than it takes to read Cliffs Notes.

And why do women fall into this rage network? Well, men are told to sit down and curb their toxic masculinity.
Nature abhors a vacuum, so the invasion now comes from our young women, who are at the forefront more than ever. They are allowed, even encouraged to be angry.
A simple suggestion: how about an exchange. For those who praise terrorist leaders, we will gladly send them to Iran or Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
Their Queer and Gender Studies degrees will be put to good use there as DEI director. The bin Laden doctrine would even forgive their student debt.
In 1999, the Taliban publicly killed a mother of seven in Kabul, Afghanistan. At the time, bin Laden was living in the country, helping their regime and training terrorists.
The chosen pronouns will be respected and the wrong gender can be punished by stoning.
And since you’ll be wearing a burqa, you won’t have a bad hair or skin day. Liberation from the male gaze and our racial beauty standards.
Despite the reality, they should change their profile to say, “Taliban Warlord’s Fifth Wife.”
And they won’t have TikTok to turn to for help.
Congratulations, ladies. You have had.
