I don't have time to post much, but fortunately, lots of other folks do. Kathy Kinsley gives "Osama's letter" a righteous fisking, including support from at least one Quran cite.

And, sadly, I must confess I joined the herd. But, sometimes running with the herd is fun.

If anything, I think that Usama needs to read his own works. If Allah is so mighty, why has He allowed us to succeed and him to fail so miserably? Could it possibly be that we understand His laws better than Usama does?

Also he forgets that there is a mutually accomidating solution between those "who love death more than you love life". They die, we live, everyone is happy.
