In the wake of the declassified reports about Osama bin Laden's fascination with anti-American conspiracy theories, this question popped into my mind.
To use the 9/11 example: Mohammed Atta subscribed to CTs about America and "the Jews"...

See also: Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Ted Kaczynski, Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, the original Nazis* (because Hitler and co. never subscribed to CT's. :rolleyes:), and so on and so forth. One fairly common thread seems to be resentment and suspicion toward "the Jews".
*the Nazis, IMHO, were the rare example of what basically amounted to a terrorist group taking control of a modern nation-state.

In his interactions with other students, Atta voiced virulently anti-Semitic and anti-American opinions, ranging from condemnations of what he described as a global Jewish movement centered in New York City that supposedly controlled the financial world and the media, to polemics against governments of the Arab world. To him, Saddam Hussein was an American stooge set up to give Washington an excuse to intervene in the Middle East. |
