Quote by Sebastian Junger
Well, you got to remember, bin Laden killed 3,000 Americans and, in some ways, he and his ideology killed tens of thousands of his fellow Muslims, including Pakistanis. I understand that that was provocative and complicated for Pakistan, but only if you accept the idea that he was an acceptable member of Pakistani society.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the notion that Osama bin Laden, responsible for the deaths of numerous Americans and Muslims, demonstrated the complexity and provocation experienced by Pakistan regarding his presence in their society. By acknowledging the significant loss of lives caused by bin Laden, including that of his fellow Muslims, particularly Pakistanis, this statement challenges the idea of considering bin Laden as an acceptable member of Pakistani society. The quote implies that accepting such an ideology within Pakistani society would ultimately disregard the grave consequences and destruction caused by bin Laden's actions.
