No difference.
True.
There goes the hyperboles again. Muslims have their own countries. The US and the West have been at the mercy of the muslim countries for oil for decades. Afghanistan and Iraq could have been written off the map easily by US. Wanton slaughter? More muslims died at the hands of other muslims than by the US military.
So are the neocons'.
Allegations? More like facts.
Osama bin Laden and Achoowhatever are against the West in general and the US in particular. By that virtue alone, both earned considerable respect and admiration by the muslims. Now the question is: If a '9/11' occurred in Tel Aviv, would all these loony conspiracy theories came to be? Not just no...But 'Hell, No...!!!' The muslims of the world would rally behind bin Laden bestowing upon him all sorts of heroic titles. May be not 19 hijackers but whatever the number of 'martyrs', their lives and the tales of the event would grow the way fishing stories usually grows.
But since this '9/11' occurred against US, the Great Satan is mightily pissed off, and he is the world's most powerful military capable of wiping any country off the map without batting an eye, along with genuine 'wanton slaughter', the muslims had to resort to loony conspiracy theories to divert attention away from the fact that it was muslims, not Jews or Americans, who committed the worst attack on US soil since Dec 7, 1941. These muslims did not attacked US in the name of a country but in the name of the whole muslim community.
And that scared you...
