Hmm, here I see a comparison drawn between a real-life religiously intolerant fanatic and a fictional freedom fighter, who is not infact from a third world country, but an ancient civilisation plundered by the British. Isnt this a pointless comparison? I suspect the comparison was made due to the superficial appearence of the two people, not their personality.
2. Seriously? Really?!?!

Really has this guy even read 20,000 leagues under the sea even if he would have just done a quick Wikipedia search he would have discovered that: 1. Captain Nemo is considered one of the greatest HEROES in fiction he hid away from civilization because his family was killed by oppressors, Osama hides because he is a coward who attacked thousands of people and when US tried to catch him he ran away 2. Captain Nemo feels remorse for anyone he has killed even his enemies, Osama couldn't care if his own family was killed as long as he gets his rewards 3. Nemo fought back against imperialistic oppressors Osama is an oppressor and many more differences i won't even venture to.
