"Binny" grumbles at Kuwait
2003-04-09
Brothers in Kuwait,

May Allah relieve the Muslim nation from this plight. Allah knows that I am doing my best to choose the words of my message so that it is not misunderstood. Let me first remind you about Allah saying in the holy Quran:

[snipped Koranic verses and Islamist mumbo-jumbo]

I want you to know that I and all your Muslim brothers love you, and we do not hide any bad feeling against you, but we only have an ardent request to you. I and the Muslims beg you not to be a bridge for the criminals and killers; do not be a means through which your Muslim brothers get slaughtered; do not be a path for murdering Islam. They do not kill Saddam; they are killing your brothers, our brothers. They are not only killing the Iraqis, but also they are targeting our Islam which is their prominent enemy and their horrible nightmare.

Have you thought about the destiny of the Muslim nation if their criminal plan succeeds? Can you imagine what will happen to our Islamic and Arab identity if they achieve their goals? What are we going to leave for our sons, our grand-sons and the future Muslim generations? What are we going to leave for them except money? Read your history, and you will find that money was never a way to unify the nation neither did the authority and the greed; when we attempted to seek unity without our religion we separate. What can money do for a generation that lost his religion and identity? What can technology or superficial civilizations do for a lost generation, without future or roots? We beg you brothers - we call you in the name of Allah to preserve Islam; do not devastate this religion but be a fortress for Islam, and do not be a path for the enemies to destroy our religion. Finally, do not forget to pray for your brothers in the wounded Iraq.

May Allah heal the breasts of those who are believers.

Your brother,

Osama Bin Laden

Spoken like a man who was given so much of it, it no longer had any value to him.

#5  Tadderly: if only some prominent muslim organisations would share your (well-placed) moral outrage.

Instead the message I most strongly hear from them on the nightly news is: 'we are the religion of peace and you are racist for judging our culture', 'the west is racist and is attacking islam' and 'while we're not terrorists like OBL, we understand (and sympathise with) his anger because it's all your fault for supporting Israel'

It would be all over for Osama if the majority of moderate muslims rose up in anger and cleaned out their own backyards of all terrorists and sympathisers. But that's not happening in the religion of peace.

#4  This caca-head really frosts my cookies. How DARE he claim to represent Islam? HOW DARE he claim to be a good Muslim? That's like Ted Bundy claiming to be a good Bhuddist. Islam is about peace - not dispatching whomever you've decided your ideals will justify getting a hate on for - GRRRRR!!! Where the hell are Ethel's pills?!

#3  Dear readers: Tired of reading incoherent Islamist rants studded with outrageous Allah-based exhortations? For relief, see "KPA Chief of General Staff on confrontation with U.S." for a refreshing dose of secular North Korean lunacy.

#2  Have I thought abou the destiny of the Islamofascist brothers if the US plan succeeds in Iraq?

Yes.

That is why right now, I am ululating with great joy at the top of my voice to anybody that will listen!

Well, Binny does have it right there. Things are going to change. It will be painful for many. And it will not change to Binny's view of stagnation. It is a shame that the world has to burn up so many people and treasure putting out the likes of Binny and Co. We and I mean all the world should be exploring the heavens together instead of having to muck around a bunch of boulders and be blowing up nutcase jihadis.
