ABC News has a transcript of Osama’s remarks, in which the bearded one does manage to come up with one good argument supporting his demand that America immediately convert to Islam.

I invite you to embrace Islam.There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.

Tempting, but alas! 97.5% of the sort of income typically achievable in the backward lands in which intellectual progress and enterprise are stifled by religious superstition would come out to a lot less than the smaller percentages of much larger incomes left to us by our greedy governments.
