Whats good for the goose is good for the gander, right? The US can go after BL for not following US [constitutional] law, so why can't he come after us for not following Shariah (or any other) law?
James A. Donald:
But these laws are not as like as geese and ganders. The US goes after Bin Laden for murdering people. Bin Laden goes after us for not accepting second class citizenship under Muslim rule.

No. He goes after us for the very same reason: for [our] murdering of *hundreds of thousands* of people, both directly (Iraq) and by proxy (Israel).
What then is the reason for the murder of Afghans and Sudanese?
