It's my understanding that strict adherance to the Koran dictates you must give your enemy the chance to surrender before you attack them...In essence that's what Bin Laden was saying in 1. Come on over, let's just get along...
But this shouldn't be confused for what it isn't. It's a procedural matter, but not the justification for the attack in the first place.
As for number 2...9/11 did get people to think about Islam. I'm not sure it's benefited Islam as much has hurt in the short run. But as they say, there's no such thing as bad PR
