OBL: West wars on Islam.

OBL's ghost says, according to Reuters, that the cutting off of aid to Hamas shows the West makes war on Islam.

What an ass hole.

OBL = Osama Bin Laden

I wonder how he can make such claims when there are many fine Muslim men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces...

Edit: Or should I say armed forces of the west.  Sorry about that.

Interesting, isn't it?

Just like the renewal of the Patriot Act is always preceded by a terrorist attack or threat.

Ok, Osama just made another recording which seems to be authentic. This now comes at a time when muslims are getting nad with Al-Queda because so many of their attacks have killed other muslims.

Osamas new tape attacks Isreal, and Osama includes Hamas in his speech.--Hamas does not make any statment following this--. How clever of Osama to pick a sensative topic that touches so many muslims to turn their attention away from Al-Queda's messes.

Originally posted by bg_turk I am sick and tired of this terrorist making statements about what is and what is not a war on Islam. Who has given this terrorist and butcher the authority to speak in the name of the muslims world? He is the biggest insult to Islam, and I hope muslims around the world will make it abundantly clear to him.

Originally posted by Omar al Hashim Did you notice he refered to Darfur as part of this "crusade against Islam"? 'They' say he lived in Sudan, but he doesn't appear to know that the people of Darfur are muslims. Remember Matthew Stuart

I didn't hear the recording [yet], but if he referred to Darfur as such, then he wasn't totally wrong.

The Darfur crisis is not a new problem.  It's as "old" as I am, or even "older."  It only attracted the political West's (i.e. the USA) attention when uranium and oil were discovered in Sudan.  The Chinese are the largest community of expatriate workers in Sudan.  It seems that China has established itself very well that it now controls what is estimated to be 40%-50% of the oil reserves in southern Sudan.

So yeah, it's not really about human rights; it's about natural resources and foreign interests.  If people really cared, it wouldn't have taken decades for that to transpire.  To OBL, that translates to a "Crusade against Islam."

Interesting to see 'how' and 'when' human rights issues get publicized and politicized to serve foreign interests.  Reminds me of how the gassing of Kurds was suddenly remembered as a crime against humanity.
