Civil disobedience + Bin Laden = joke?

We were discussing civil disobedience and the factors that need to be present for it to be considered as civil disobedience in my American government class yesterday and obviously, the Mahatma and Martin Luther King were discussed. While these discussions were on, my mind wandered and I imagined Bin Laden and his gang marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, placards and all, voicing their gripes. I burst out laughing at the thought, which I'm sure most of us would do.

Thinking about it later though, I was wondering if it was really that funny. I would think that if any one could carry out civil disobedience, it would be a "radical Muslim" like Bin Laden. Look at what the pillars of Islam constitute. We have fasting - abstinence from food or drink from sunrise to sunset for 30 days straight. We have prayers that are prayed 5 times a day at specific times and the pilgrimage of Hajj. I would think that if any one could summon the discipline required to carry out civil disobedience, it would be Bin Laden.
