| 2004-09-11 |
| From South Asia Analysis Group, an article by B.Raman, Additional Secretary (retd), Cabinet Secretariat, Govt. of India, New Delhi, and, presently, Director, Institute for Topical Studies, Chennai, and Distinguished Fellow and Convenor, Observer Research Foundation. Since the terrorist strikes of September 11, 2001, in the USA, at least ten taped messages attributed to Osama bin Laden have been telecast by the Al Jazeera TV channel. These were disseminated on November 3, 2001, December 28, 2001,September 10, 2002, October 6, 2002, November 12, 2002, February 11, 2003, September 10, 2003, October 18, 2003, January 4, 2004, and April 15, 2004. Thus, there were two messages in 2001, three each in 2002 and 2003 and two so far this year. In 2002 as well as 2003, there were two messages disseminated on September 10,coinciding with the first and second anniversaries of the terrorist strikes in the US. In the message attributed to him to mark the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist strikes, he said:" When you talk about the New York and Washington raids, you talk about those men who changed the course of history and cleansed the chapters of the nation from the filth of the treasonous rulers." In the message to mark the second anniversary, he said: "The confusion caused to the enemy was sufficient to make people wake up from their slumber and rise for jihad for the sake of God. I had the honour of knowing these men. One is honoured by knowing such men." |

| #12 "Don't anybody try to insult any religious icons from any religion cos it`s against american values" -- Simply Muslim I think not. We have freedom of religion and freedom of speech. I am free to speak my opinion of any religion or icon, just not free to threaten or terrorize or incite violence on the subject. And that restriction does not apply in regard to foreign enemies on the United States. Simply Muslim, I suggest that you and your associates find another name for your religion of peace -- the terrorists have hijacked the name you are using. |

Let's prey that Allah shall help destroys all enemies of freedom and humanity. Amin! |

| #4 I still think he's a stain on a cave wall in Tora Bora. Yes we have audio tapes supposedly of him. But he has not appeared in a video that is what leads me to the reasoning. As far as raiding al-jisms offices I think it would be great. Of course the amount of spittle flying would be enough to put the fires out. And hit the Suadi princes funding these assholes. |
