What does James White take away from the killing of Osama bin Laden?

There have been many predictable 'more moral than thou' reactions from academic Christians regarding the killing of Osama bin Laden, and among them is the no less predictable reaction from James White. He wants everyone to know that Jihadists are like people who hold to the Received Text in sound translation, what he calls "King James Only people."

He also wants everybody to know, on this occasion of the death of Osama bin Laden, that "King James Only people" are easily confused, have little patience for complicated things, and are generally a bit too dense - in a salt of the Earth way, of course - to understand the truth as Christian academics are able to know it. (Plus, the Authorized Version is just so hard to read.)

In the case of most Christian academics they simply have the usual fear of man driving their words that is demanded in academic environments (not to mention the juvenile intellectual vanity). In White's case it is a bit of lunacy mixed in as well.
