BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Just to bring up a few more points that was brought up by Osama bin Laden, at one time he said, in quoting now, "I was ordered to fight the people until they say there is no god but Allah." And again there are questions here about how this will be heard and felt and thought about throughout the Arab world. Rob Sobhani is a professor at Georgetown University with us live in Washington. A quick thought from you based on the discussion I just had with Christiane and the impact globally.</s>ROB SOBHANI, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY: I think, Bill, one of the things that struck me was the strict Wahhabism that I saw, the extreme form of Islam that was being talked about between the Shaykh and bin Laden. Clearly, a very extremist form of Islam, no. 1. But no. 2, more broadly speaking though, Bill, it brought up the danger that Saudi Arabia faces because Osama bin Laden listed a number of clerics in Saudi Arabia who knew of this attack and he listed their names, which tells me that he has a very extensive network or at least he has a network in Saudi Arabia. That raises a very disturbing point for U.S. national security. After all, Saudi Arabia is our ally and Saudi Arabia is the world's No. 1 producer of petroleum. That is disturbing, knowing that bin Laden's ultimate goal is the overthrow of the Saudi monarchy.</s>HEMMER: You mentioned Wahhabism. It might not be the most familiar term to many Americans, but that sprung out of Saudi Arabia, correct?</s>SOBHANI: Absolutely by Abdul Wahhab in the 17th century, but then taken up as a mantle by the founder of Saudi Arabia, King Abdul Aziz. There was a marriage of convenience, King Abdul Aziz bringing the politics and Wahhabism providing the legitimacy, the religious legitimacy, and that's the result.</s>HEMMER: Rob Sobhani, thanks.
