The White House has slammed those who share Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” as an “insult” to the “innocent” victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks — as TikTok vows to delete all mention of the madman’s propaganda.
“There is no excuse for spreading the disgusting, evil and antisemitic lies that Al Qaeda leaders issued shortly after carrying out the worst terrorist attack in American history — highlighting them as his direct motivation to kill 2,977 innocent Americans,” White House spokesman Andrew Andrews said. Bates said.
“No one can insult the 2,977 American families who are still grieving their loved ones by associating themselves with the vile words of Osama bin Laden, especially now, at a time when antisemitic violence is on the rise in the world, and right after Hamas terrorists have committed world slaughter. Jews since the Holocaust in the name of the same conspiracy theory,” he said.
“As President Biden said this year in memory of the Americans who lost their lives to Osama bin Laden, ‘it is more important now than ever that we stand together’ against the rising tide of hate and extremism.”
The terrorist leader’s recently deleted letter from 2002 went viral after delusional TikTok influencers cited it for changing their worldview in light of Hamas terrorist atrocities and Israeli counterattacks.
In it, bin Laden claimed that he masterminded the deadly attack on the World Trade Center because the US was “attacking us in Palestine.”

Bin Laden called the creation of Israel “a crime that must be eradicated.”
He also claimed that the AIDS epidemic was a “Satanic American Creation” and objected to US companies allowing women to have jobs, angrily, “You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margin.”
The antisemitic rant went on to assert that in the US, Jews “control your politics, media and economy.”
The most vile quote from Osama bin Laden’s ‘Letter to America’
- “Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy, who hold power in their political parties, and finance their election campaigns with their gifts. Behind them stand the Jews, who control your policies, media and economy.”
- “These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and ceded the greater part of Palestine to them, recognizing the existence of their nation upon the dismembered members of their own people.”
- “We also call on you to deal with us and interact with us on the basis of mutual interests and benefits, instead of the policy of subjugation, theft and occupation, and not to continue your policy of supporting the Jews because this will result in more disaster for you.”
- “The British handed over Palestine, with your help and support, to the Jews, who had occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crime, murder, expulsion, destruction and destruction. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are its criminal leader.”
- “And of course there is no need to explain and prove the level of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime that must be eradicated. Everyone whose hands have been soiled in contributing to this crime must pay the price, and pay it heavily.”
- “These governments prevent our people from upholding Islamic Sharia, using force and lies to do so.”
- “Do not expect anything from us except Jihad, resistance and revenge.”
- “Also the American military is part of the American people. These are the same people who shamelessly helped the Jews fight us. The American people are the ones who employ both their men and women in the American Forces that attack us. This is why the American people cannot be innocent of all the crimes that America and the Jews have committed against us.
The Guardian, which had published the full text of the letter in 2002, pulled it on Wednesday, citing the fact in a statement that it was “widely shared on social media without full context.”
“So we’ve decided to take it down and direct readers to the news article that originally contextualized it.”
A TikTok spokesperson also said that “the content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules about supporting any form of violence” and added that the company is “proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got onto our platform.”

At the same time, the company tried to deny that any bin Laden-related content had gone viral – despite the videos getting hundreds of thousands of views.
“The number of videos on TikTok is small and reports of them trending on our platform are inaccurate,” the spokesperson added.
“This is not unique to TikTok and has appeared on various platforms and media.”
The trend appears to have been started by Lynette Adkins — a social media influencer with 12 million followers who was profiled in the Los Angeles Times.
The trend appears to have been started by Lynette Adkins, who told her 12 million followers to read the letter. Other TikTokers began sharing Osama bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America,” in which he tried to justify the attacks of September 11, 2001. The Guardian took down the letter in response to the controversy. TikTok also announced that it will scrub all videos that mention the letter from its app.
In his video, which has received nearly 100,000 likes and more than 5,500 comments since it was posted on Wednesday, Adkins told his followers to “stop what you’re doing right now and go read a letter to America.”
Adkins followed up with several other posts, including one in which he discussed “three movies to watch after you read ‘a letter to America'” and another in which he responded to the Guardian taking down the text and declaring, “America is losing the war Bad PR.”
“Guardians demoting that position is actually one of the worst things they can do. I don’t know who’s behind it or what the reasoning is, but I think it really confirms everything we read in the letter,” Adkins said.

Another TikTok user said he “will never see life the same, I will never see this country the same.
“Please read it and if you’ve read it, tell me if you’re also going through an existential crisis right now, because in the last 20 minutes, the whole outlook on the whole life I believe in and have lived has changed.”
And a third social media users whose videos go viral said after reading the letter, “it became clear to me that the actions of 9/11 and the actions taken against the US and its people were all just a setup of our government letting other countries down.”
