Science vs Religion

[Firefly]

To Bin Laden, it was. His religious views on infidels in the Holy Land drove him to wage jihad against the United States and its allies, indeed anyone who supported them. I count four religious-based terms, which I've bold-texted for you.

We may view them as political terms, but religion and politics often go hand-in-hand with religious extremists. Bin Laden struck at political and economic targets, but religion was his prime motivator. Secondary to that came politics.
