Osama's son tells father to stop killing civilians
2008-01-22
Omar Bin Laden, a son of Osama Bin Laden, has asked his father to stop killing civilians. In an interview in Cairo released by CNN, 26-year old Omar said he is talking publicly because he wants an end to the violence his father has inspired. “I try and say to my father, ‘Try to find another way to help or find your goal. These bombs, these weapons, they’re not good to use for anybody’.”
"Ayman, how many kids I got?"
"I dunno, Binny. 20, 30 maybe. I've lost count."
"Me, too. I got lots, so I don't need him. Have somebody kill him."
He said he hasn’t spoken to his father since 2000, when he walked away from an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan with his father’s blessings. He said he has no idea where his father is, but is confident he will never be caught because locals support him. Asked if his father might be living along the Afghan-Pakistan border, he said, “Maybe, maybe not.” He said he and his British wife are pursuing a movement for peace. He said he doesn’t consider his father to be a terrorist. When his father was fighting the Soviets, Washington considered him a hero, he said. “I don’t think my father is a terrorist because history tells you he’s not.”

#12  I share Icerigger's point of view
in this matter.

Allow me to nominate OBL's son - OMAR - for Fred's Rogues Gallery. With any luck at all perhaps a "toe tag photo" can be added in the not too distant future.

#10   I enjoy myself and have encouraged others who have taken up the activity, but I am not a golfer.

#9  An interview released by CNN could be an AQ message, as as-Sahab has been quiet lately. He's been in Africa and shows up with dreadlocks, just as other RB articles have pointed out the criminal gangs in South Africa, Kenya, and elsewhere are sporting. Where there is smoke, there is fire. The appeal to avoid killing civilians seems to answer one of the questions posed to Ayman online regarding targets, whether they should proceed against the big target in America, civilian or military. Tryng to get a UK visa would enable him to also travel with ease to former UK territories, some of which are quite close to both our southern and northern borders. Spawn of the devil.

I consistantly go out and hit little balls hundreds of yards with a stick towards a hole and keep count of my swings. I enjoy myself and have encouraged others who have taken up the activity, but I am not a golfer.

Another fat rich kid of who wants to be a neo-hippy?

#6  He said he doesnÂ’t consider his father to be a terrorist.

And he does not consider any non-sunni muslim to be a civilian. The press falls for these lies over and over again. If he sympathizes with his father there can be no conversation with this man. He is the enemy.

#4  Osama's son tells father to stop killing civilians

Bullshit that's not what this prick said. His thrust was that bombing killed MUSLIMS. That is what the dirtbag was taking about. Hang him yesterday.

Spit.

#2  Stop killing civilians, but by all means feel free to kill military folks.

I don't like this "peacenik" any more than I do his father. He is just trying to polish up the image of AlQ, not make it go away.

#1  In Islam, there are no terrorists. The son of the guy who killed his two daughters in a Dallas suburb recently said his father did not do it because of Islam. It was just a domestic thing. Jaded mindset.
