My guess is that most Muslims are more concerned with what is good for the world of Islam and for their fellow Muslims than they are with Bin Ladin. So my feeling is that any approach we take must differentiate between solving the problem of Bin Ladin as a source of terrorist activity, and Bin Ladin the Muslim.

My feeling is that if we focus on the fact of his being a Muslim, there will probably be more of a feeling among some Muslims that their faith needs to be defended. I suspect that if we focus on Bin Ladin as a terrorist leader, rather than as a Muslim, we would be less likely to create a situation in which Muslims would feel the need to defend their religion. That's what it looks like to me, anyway.
