What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani mentions Osama bin Laden occasionally, between 2016 and 2023, in sessions devoted to crisis, war and the political situation. He does not dwell on his doctrine. He mainly stresses his ties to the Bush family, a point he returns to several times: the bin Laden family, friends of the Bushes, is flown out of the United States right after 9/1112. He also recalls bin Laden's earlier role in Afghanistan. Bin Laden distributed Saudi petrodollars there, along with the aid meant for the Afghan rebels fighting the Soviets13. Finally, he notes that bin Laden, close to the Bushes, turned against non-religious Arab leaders such as Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi and Arafat4. Bin Laden thus serves as an example of how ambiguous the alliances between Western powers and political Islam are. He is also mentioned in passing in connection with a documentary5.

During that era, he was one of the most significant supporters of Islamic terrorism and jihadist militant movements around the world, as he aimed to found a pan-Islamic caliphate and end the United States' interventionism in the Middle East, including its support for Israel. Most notably, bin Laden helped orchestrate the September 11 attacks against the U.S. in 2001, which caused the U.S.-led global war on terror. […]
