Doggone it, I just accidently deleted a summary of what I had found. However, given the enormous diversity of the directly affected region, the complications are too great for a fair summary. Encapsulated: It seems that Bin Laden can get firebrand clerics to speak in his support from many areas, but he is shunned by the mainstream peoples in every state. In his mind, the governments of Egypt and Jordan represent infidels. We know what he thinks of Saudi Arabia. Iran supports the Taliban, but many Iranians believe that he recently assassinated their opposition leader.

I had a huge list of many other states, with comments from mostly political, and some religious leaders, but that's what I deleted.

But the bottom line is : MY REQUEST COULD EASILY LEAD TO THE COLLECTION OF INFLAMMATORY DRIVEL from widespread fanatical clerics who do not represent any significant population, even if we can get footage of some people "dancing in the streets."

There is no evidence I found of mainstream religious leaders supporting Bin Laden or his acts anywhere. However, the "mainstream" of most countries in the region, while not showing approval of anything Bin Laden has done, is also apparently heavily weighted in favor of Muslim unity in the face of an attack by non-Muslims. Most apparently do not see the Taliban, and certainly not Afghanistan, as being appropriately equated with Bin Laden.
