This paper considers the problme of definig and describing terrorism associated with contemporary "political" or "radical" Islam and the statements of Osama bin Laden that ostensibly justify global jihad. The auther's moral assesement concider the task of comparative jurisprudence. Given bin Laden's appeal to Islamic source, attention needs to be paid to the authority of the Hanbali school of law and the jurist Ibn Taymiyya as these relate to the justification of global jihad.
