With the death of Osama Bin Laden we ask "Did Bin Laden represent the true face of Islam"
 
Radical Islamist Anjem Choudary who has frequently praised Bin Laden and Al Queada for their acts of terror, joins the discussion.  He says Osama was a true Muslim doing the work of Allah.
 
Muhammad Al Hussaini is a Muslim scholar for the organisation Scriptural Reasoning.  He deplores acts of terror and says Bin Laden transgressed multiple commands of Islam.
 
Christian evangelist to Muslims Jay Smith believes that while Muhammad's moderate position is more humane, the postion of Choudary is more reflective of the actual commands and nature of Islam.
 
They debate whether Islam allows violent Jihad, whether Islam can offer a "complete" solution and the nature of war-like texts in both the Koran and the Bible.
