I noticed they were using someone's image on their webpage today who I didn't recognize. Looked it up and it is a person named Yuri Kochiyama. In reading about her she had an interesting life, but there is quote in which she cites Osama bin Laden as one of the people she most admired and thanks him for his actions against the US. A very strange choice for Google to promote.
In 2003, while being interviewed by Tamara Kil Ja Kim Nopper in The Objector, Kochiyama said "... I consider Osama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire. To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro, all leaders that I admire ... [who] had severe dislike for the US government and those who held power in the US. I think all of them felt the US government and its spokesmen were all arrogant, racist, hypocritical, self-righteous, and power hungry..... You asked, 'Should freedom fighters support him?' Freedom fighters all over the world, and not just in the Muslim world, don’t just support him; they revere him; they join him in battle. He is no ordinary leader or an ordinary Muslim."
