Little known fact about Islam, they give three choices for the nonbelievers:
1. Accept Islam
2. Pay the jizya (basically a tax placed on non-Muslims by Muslims)
3. War with Muslims
Bin Laden has to offer his religion to the enemy for his actions to be justified by the religion. Basically he is just checking off one of the items in the 'to do list' for a justifiable jihad.
Always remember, "peaceful coexistence as equals in a pluralistic society" isn't one of the choices.
