Bin Laden has done nothing compared to what the United States has in providing famine relief...

IIRC, the evil United States of America was the largest contributor of humanitarian
aid to a place called Afghanistan in 2001...even before the event of September 11, 2001.
At least that is what I believe I heard during some of the "why do they hate us"
discussions.
My gut feeling at when I heard this was that "maybe that mean that Muslims hate
people who are nice to them...".

Sen. Murray blistered over bin Laden remark

In February 2001 — seven months before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon — the U.S. Agency for International Development announced an emergency airlift of supplies into Pakistan and Afghanistan.
At the time, the agency noted the U.S. was the largest single donor of assistance to Afghanistan, contributing about $115 million that year to improve health, water, sanitation and nutrition.

If I find some more direct and complete documentation I will post it to the following thread and ping you:

Afghanistan: Complex Emergency Situation Report #1 (US aid BEFORE 911) September 6, 2001

USG Humanitarian Assistance
On September 22, 2000, Assistant Secretary Karl F. Inderfurth re-declared a complex humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan for FY 2001. In addition, U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan William B. Milam issued a disaster declaration for Afghan refugees in Pakistan on February 2, 2001. To date, FY 2001 USG humanitarian assistance provided by USAID/OFDA, USAID/FFP, USDA, the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (State/PRM), the joint Department of State/Department of Defense Demining Program, the Department of State's Bureau International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (State/INL) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) totals $173,588,887, including both assistance inside Afghanistan and assistance to Afghan refugees in neighboring countries.

Breakdown of the $173 million is detailed in the source. Interestingly this report is dated September 6, 2001, just five days before 911.

An older Jewish friend of mine some years ago, who was pretty wise, used to say: "Why does he dislike me -- I never did anything for him."

The fact is, if you help someone, that person is quite likely to resent you, because you have immediately put him on a lower level below yourself, just because he needed your help. We humans are a little strange, sometimes.
