| A letter from Binny... |
| 2002-08-28 |
| Editors Note: This letter, from Osama Bin Laden was delivered to Islam Onlineâs correspondent in Pakistan on Saturday, and has been translated from Arabic by JUS [Jihad Unspun] translators. The authenticity of the letter remains in question. One Arab analyst has said that there are fundemental errors in the letter which it would be unlikely that Bin Laden would make. The letter may be a draft as several sentences are crossed out. Further speculation surrounds the signature, which is not bin Laden's traditonal style however the name Abu Abdullah has been affilaited with him before, particularly on FBI documents. Finally, Islam Online is a moderate Muslim site so this adds some credence to its legitimacy. We will advise viewers of further details as they come available Okay. Ready for this? All praise is to Allah, Possessor of the kingdom, the Compeller of all heavens and the earth, the Almighty and peace and blessings be upon the leader of the Mujahideen, our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions and those who follow them in a good manner till the Day of Judgment. Flowery fellow, isn't he? Hello to you, too. This is a letter I â your brother in faith and religion, Osama bin Muhammad bin âAud bin Laden, send you, so Assalamualeikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuhu! Oh. He wasn't done saying "hello" yet. That last bit is Arabic for "howdy." I address this letter to the proud steadfast Jihad performing Afghan people that holds the sword in one hand and the Quraan in the other one. O Lions of Sharia and Protectors of the religion know that Allah â Most Great â said in His book: âAllah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before themâŠâ(24:55). Yup. Pious, God-fearing men, with the Koran in one hand and a gun in the other. And turbans. God's gonna put them in charge of the entire world. How comforting... O People of Afghanistan, it is not hidden for you the great position of Jihad in the religion (Islam) and that it is the highest peak of Islam and it is (only) through Jihad that honor and might can be gained in this world and the hereafter. Also (it is through Jihad) that countries can be defended and the sanctities are protected and justice is established and security and prosperity is spread and the fear is settled in the hearts of the enemies and states are founded and the banner of truth rises over all other banners. "So get out there and jihad, you guys! Don't worry about the non-essentials, like feeding your families. We need, uhhh... justice. And, uh... security. And that stuff. Cuz who's more prosperous than us Muslims? Well, yeah, lotsa people. But that's because the fear hasn't settled in our enemies' hearts yet. Soon's it does, why, the prosperity'll just come rollin' in..." O People of Afghanistan, Allah has honoured you with the Jihad in the cause of Allah and with your sacrifice of everything that is dear to you to realize this great expression: âThere is no God but Allahâ on your ground. So the worldwide Kuffr (Disbelief) didnât accept your intention. Thus America has now followed Britain and Russia in waging a war (against Afghanistan) and it is challenging the feelings of every Muslim throughout the world. I can tell you from my position here that all the venerations drawn around this super power do not equal a mosquito wing doesnât make even the wing of a fly or rather doesnât make anything in comparison to the power of the Almighty King and His support to the believing sincere Mujahideen. "There ain't nobody more pious than an Afghan. 'Course, there aren't many who're poorer, either, but that's beside the point, totally unconnected. Just watch out for those B52s..." Who has any doubts in this aspect should go and ask the Russians how the Jihad destroyed their myth (of the âgreat Soviet Unionâ) and even before them, neither the Tartars nor the Brits managed to stay (in Afghanistan) because the peaks of this blessed country refuse any defiant atheist, and with the permission of Allah â Most Great â we will soon witness the fall of the Kuffr countries (of Disbelief) and on top of them the tyrant and oppressive America that violated all human values and transgressed all limits and knows only the logic of force and Jihad. We're getting better acquainted with jihad all the time. The Glory is for Islam and the Victory for the Muslims! "Yeah, buddy!" Abu Abdallah Normally, when you send a letter you expect to convey some information. This doesn't convey information â it's just a chest thump. So there's either some sort of a message deeply buried in it â read every ninth word or something â or it's another fake. |

| #1 If this is true example of his writing and thinking ability, I say we keep him alive. His own people must spend untold hours trying to figure out where he's going with this blather. If half of islam is sitting around in caves waiting for this guy to give orders, they are gonna have one hell of a charleyhorse buy the time hes done. Hes hardly channeling Winston Churchill here, I dont think this could inspire a hungry dog if you held a steak up while reading it. Oh, by the way "binny", We aint the godless soviet union. we beat their ass to too, if you didnt notice! |
