Sartre: Are you ready to give up your life for your beliefs?
Osama: No, duh!
Sartre: Your position is an existential one, I take it.
Osama: Eliminating the Great Satan is to make Existence more pleasant.
Sartre: What are your ethical criteria?
Osama: The less Christians, the better.
Sartre: You mean even self-respecting, spiritual, non-materialistic Christians?
Osama: An oxymoron, a contradiction in terms.
Sartre: And life would be good under a Fundamentalist Islamic regime?
Osama: Of course, it may take ten thousand years to wipe out the influences of the West.
Sartre: You'd be dead of course and no one around to judge if it were indeed better.
Osama: We have faith.
Sartre: You are religious?
Osama: A follower of the Prophet, of course.
Sartre: So you can use all this to justify Terrorism as a policy?
Osama: What is terrorism to one is a liberation movement to others.
Sartre: So there is no limit to what you do if you think it will contribute to the demise of the Great Satan, the Materialism and Self-indulgent Narcissism ot the West.
Osama: Couldn't have said it better myself.
Sartre: Are you God?
Ossama: That is for others to determine.
Sartre: Any last comments?
Osama: The food you just ate was poisoned and you have one hour to live.
