| Binny to His Boyz: No Booze, No Poker, and No T & A | ||
| 2005-11-17 | ||
| The world of bin Laden: no drinks, no gambling, no pictures of women Osama bin Laden wants the United States to convert to Islam, ditch its constitution, abolish banks, jail homosexuals and sign the Kyoto climate change treaty.
Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama bin Laden is billed as the first accurate compendium of the terrorist leader's words, threats and ruminations from 1994 to 2004. Its editors have rooted out many statements which they identified as forgeries and retranslated to correct "horrendous" errors. His terms for America's surrender appeared after the September 2001 suicide attacks and include demands that amount to the abandonment of much of western life. Alcohol and gambling would be barred and there would be an end to women's photos in newspapers or advertising. Any woman serving "passengers, visitors and strangers", presumably anyone from air stewardesses to waitresses, would also be out of a job. The West must "stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you" and has become the "worst civilisation witnessed in the history of mankind". The publisher Verso said it expected criticism for releasing the thoughts of a terrorist but denied that the volume would be the jihadis' equivalent of Mein Kampf.
The book's introduction is written by Prof Bruce Lawrence who teaches Islamic studies at Duke University, North Carolina and describes the terrorist as "one of the best prose writers in Arabic". Many past translations of the words of the head of al-Qa'eda have been "horrendous" and often wrong, he said. In the book the terrorist responsible for the deaths of 3,000 civilians in September 2001 says that killing the innocent is wrong. In bin Laden's world a global conflict is under way between the umma, or Muslim community, and unbelievers.

| #15 But did Binny also ban Chess, Kite Flying, TV, and Music like son-in-law, Mulla Mohamed "One-Eyed Purple People Eater" Omar. |

| #14 I think its a good thing this book was published. I think it would do the lefty gays and feminists some good to see there part in Al Queda's game plan. Some may claim Bush is anti-Gay but he's never suggested toppling walls onto gays. Some may claim he is anti-woman because his pro-life stance but he's never suggested they be chattel. |

| #12 Well, look what we are demanding that Binny and his boyz do: 1) Act civilized. This is the 21st Century, not the 5th. 2) Stop murdering, maiming and harming others in the belief that God wants you to do that. He doesn't. He despises your actions, based on what He has directed George Bush to do to you, *and* He favors George Bush for doing it to you. That is why you ALWAYS lose and Bush ALWAYS wins. Get some pattern recognition, will ya? 3) Treat all others with respect and dignity. This includes women, children, religious and ethnic minorities, people with different beliefs and opinions, and even those who don't *like* you or your ideas. 4) Only present your religion to those who ask you about it first. If they don't ask, you have no business forcing your religion on them, any more than they have of forcing their religion on you. Your greatest right is to be ignored. Your greatest responsibility is to ignore others. 5) The civil law is the only legitimate law. Sharia is only between Moslems who agree on its use to mediate a dispute between only them. |

| #11 As far as binny saying we are the worst civilization ever. I think that is a classic case of projection. It is like the old Freudian saying goes, what you hate the most in others you hate the most in yourself. :D |

| #10 #8 Ironically, muslims kill a lot more muslims than they kill other people so muslims are not innocent either. More like selected muslims. As far as binny saying we are the worst civilization ever. I think that is a classic case of projection. |

| #8 In the book the terrorist responsible for the deaths of 3,000 civilians in September 2001 says that killing the innocent is wrong. My head would be spinning if that had come from anyone but an adherent of the Religion of Peace. Innocent == Muslim. Not Muslim == Not Innocent. |
