TikTok Revives Osama bin Laden’s ‘Letter to America’ 21 Years Later, Creating Viral Sensation

Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter to America, in which he outlined the ideology behind the 9/11 attacks, has resurfaced and gained attention on social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter. The letter, titled “A Letter to America,” has been praised by some users who believe it provides valuable insights into the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. However, the letter also contains anti-Semitic and hate speech, along with justifications for killing civilians in bin Laden’s jihad. The letter was originally published by The Guardian in 2002 but has since been removed from their website, prompting discussions about editorial decisions and requests for alternative links to the document. Some users expressed shock and disbelief at the sympathy or agreement with bin Laden’s views, while others believe it reflects the polarization and anger surrounding the Middle East conflict and the US involvement in the region.
