On the Coattails of a Dead Man

Sun, May 18, 2008 at 8:07:21 am PDT

Here comes another audiotape in the long-running series of posthumous releases by the world’s most talkative dead man: Islamist Websites Announces Soon-To-Be-Released Osama Bin Laden Speech.

On May 18, 2008, the Islamist website Ikhlaas (www.ek-ls.org) announced that a new speech by Osama Bin Laden would be posted in the near future on the Internet. According to the announcement, the “very strong” speech, produced by Al-Qaeda’s Media Company Al-Sahab, would be an address to the Islamic nation.

I'm none of those three I just don't know whether he's alive or not. I haven't heard this latest speech but haven't the others that have come out recently contained current events that would indicate that he's alive? I could be wrong about that. If this is just a general "Death to America" speech without any current events being mentioned then I may hop onto your bandwagon and believe he's dead. Until that happens then I'm going to have to wait and see. Although I would love for him to be dead that won't make it so.

Osama (or whoever is pretending to be him) will announce that immediately after the election of his candidate he will enter into negotiations with the proposed Secretary for the Defense of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, Imam Farrakhan, the details of the U.S. religious integration into the caliphate whereas the military surrender issues will be handled by Defense Secretary elect Al Sharpton. A special Jizya will be collected from the infidels who do not convert to Islam before the inauguration to help pay for the construction of the National mosque and remove all public infidel religious icons from the District of Columbia. Further details will be announce in the State of the Umma address.

Like I said at the time, the year is 2008, every cell phone can make a vid, those little Flip cams are a hundred bucks, every laptop has a web cam built in. If he were alive, he would have a video.

In any case, like W said, he isn't leading any parades...

Well that is pretty convincing that there are no current events mentioned by OBL. Also I seem to remember that there were several videos showing OBL looking just terrible...graying hair, haggard appearance, yellow and gaunt. This was a few years ago. There was a rumor that he was getting dialysis for a kidney problem and that would fit with how he looked. So here's hoping that he either died at Tora Bora or disease took him. Now if we could only get his #2 Zawahiri (spelling?) then I would truly rejoice because he seems just as evil or more so than OBL.

Egyptian Author Sharif Hatata Talks about Life with Egyptian Feminist Nawal Al-Sa'dawi, States: The Hijab Symbolizes the Claim that Women Have No Brains

"We Are Regressing, Rather Than Moving Forward... Women are the Only Ones Ruled By Islamic Law in This Country"

"If we compare Islamic teachings in the days of the Prophet Muhammad to this day, we see that we are regressing, rather than moving forward. There was more freedom and more openness back then. I oppose Al-Azhar as an institution. I oppose those in charge of it. In my view, they spread backward and reactionary Islamic ideas, and they play a role in reinforcing the fundamentalist ideas in society.

[...]

"When society is ruled by religion, no one can speak out. Why? Because whenever you say anything, they respond: 'God said this. You are a heretic.' This is what is happening now. Anyone who expresses an opinion that differs from what is prevalent in society - especially with regard to the ideology of the fundamentalists and Al-Azhar - is immediately considered a heretic."

Interviewer: "But Egypt is not a religious state, you must be referring to the Muslim Brotherhood."

Dr. Sharif Hatata: "It is a religious state. It is written in the constitution."

Interviewer: "Do you support changing the article in the constitution that considers Islamic law as the main source for legislation?"

Dr. Sharif Hatata: "Our main source for legislation is not the Islamic religion. This is a lie. The main source for our legislation is the French law. Our civil laws have nothing to do with Islam and the Koran. Only marital laws are connected to Islam and the Koran. Women are the only ones ruled by Islamic law in this country.

Depends on how the site is set up. Can be done, but it can take time. And maybe they find it more instructive to keep watch on the guys behind the site, where they go, who they see and so on rather than just arrest them.

the “very strong” speech, produced by Al-Qaeda’s Media Company Al-Sahab, would be an address to the Islamic nation.

"Produced" is the right word.

Just a question. Do you think that Osama bin Dead gets more respect from the Dems than the President of the United States?

There is no question they consider him a deep thinker. Roads, schools, orphanages. Wish the USA knew how to do that stuff.
Do you think Obama would like to talk to him?

re: #83 Skepsis

Skepsis, do you think they are really not doing this?

I have a theory, and there are others that share my rationale.

If Al Gore had been President during 911, we would have responded, much in similar fashion after Saddam kicked the inspectors out in 1998, and lobbed a few cruise missiles as a result.

We would have claimed Bin Laden dead, any subsequent recordings declared propaganda, and the world is much safer.

Only problem, is this did not work in Somalia, nor the first attack on the WTC in 93.

In did not work for the bombing of our compound in Saudi Arabia, nor the Embassies, or the Cole.

I truly think, there are folks in the chain of command who see an existential threat for what it is, and not just a law enforcement issue.

We eliminate the command and control center, or actually let them know how far we have dug into their network, we lose operational superiority.

Think for a minute.

Recall from a couple years ago in Yemen?

The drone taking out a car with a Hell Fire?

Or the procession of of "leaders" found in Iraq?

Never show all of your cards, never.

I recall a sign on a local moonbats car depicting OBL saying: "I'm still free. Sorry about you!" Made me want to spit.

re: #95 The Other Les

This new speech by OBL will be followed by the release of a new novel by L. Ron Hubbard.

Signed, I presume?
