Comments on Osama bin Laden’s Latest Speech
Below are excerpts from the latest aired speech of OBL as well as my comments regarding them
(both are clearly marked to prevent confusion) :
OBL - “Praise be to Allah who created the creation for his worship and commanded them to be just and permitted the wronged one to retaliate against the oppressor in kind. To proceed:”
me -Does anyone else see a red flag right in this first sentence?
All who feel “oppressed” are free to do whatever they imagine is “in kind” retaliation to whomever they see as their oppressor. This is not sanity.
OBL - Before I begin, I say to you that security is an indispensable pillar of human life and that free men do not forfeit their security, contrary to Bush’s claim that we hate freedom.”
me - …which is why even your countrymen and family members who don’t believe as you do are tortured and killed and/or live under constant threat of the same.
OBL - “If so, then let him explain to us why we don’t strike for example - Sweden? And we know that freedom-haters don’t possess defiant spirits like those of the 19 - may Allah have mercy on them.”
Dictionary -
de·fi·ance
open disobedience: open, bold, or hostile refusal to obey or conform in defiance of, with complete disregard for a rule, law, or person in authority notwithstanding a rule or expectation
OBL - “I say to you, Allah knows that it had never occurred to us to strike the towers. But after it became unbearable and we witnessed the oppression and tyranny of the American/Israeli coalition against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it came to my mind.”
me - And, of course, if it comes to our mind we must do it. I refer you again to the definition of defiance.
“The events that affected my soul in a direct way started in 1982 when America permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon and the American Sixth Fleet helped them in that. This bombardment began and many were killed and injured and others were terrorised and displaced.”
me - This part of the speech is missing information regarding the attacks from muslims against Israeli women and children; muslims against Arabic women and children; muslims against Christian women and children; and muslim attacks against their own women and children who choose another faith…this is a daily occurrence with terrorists. It’s clear that Osama is counting on most Americans not knowing the truth regarding his responsiblity for his hate.
