Mohammed Cartoon Watch: Osama bin Laden Issues Warning

islm_cartoon_7

One of the Mohammed cartoons that sparked riots last year throughout the Muslim world

Al Qaeda’s Osama bin Laden issued a new video today (actually a graphic and audio recording). In the recording Osama bin Laden addressed the “wise men” of the European Union, slamming the publication of drawings insulting to the Prophet Muhammad and vowing a strong reaction.

The message, which appeared on a militant Web site that has carried al-Qaida statements in the past and bore the logo of the extremist group’s media wing al-Sahab, showed a still image of bin Laden aiming with an AK-47.

A voice believed to be bin Laden’s described the attacks of the Europeans on women and children but said these “paled (in comparison) when you went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings, this is the greatest misfortune and the most dangerous.”

Today is the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War and bin Laden talks about the Mohammed Cartoons? Remember the cartoon flap originally began when?

September 30, 2005!

How come no video from bin Laden? And, where is Adam Gadahn?

The leader of al Qaeda has become a cheerleader from afar for riots in the Muslim world over cartoons.

Go figure.

Update:

Here is the recording:

    I find it strange and in a dark way, amusing that Osama Bin Laden is at it again with the tapes and messages from afar. He may still control a very violent and extremist organization, but has become basically a hermit that has been reduced to rhetoric and threats that are more and more falling on deaf ears out of… sheer boredom. In the end, the great shiek is a pretty small man.

    I know he still has danger and threat and terror as his textbook, but Osama the great Sheik is a man of clay feet, he hides in his where ever because he knows he will be toast if he comes out.. that’s greatness???? Hardly. He is smart however, he sends his lackys to do his bidding, surely he won’t be modeling the lastest suicide vest on the runway.

    I also find it amusing that while they still are dangerous and mad, the islamists are basically a bunch of ignorant, leadable, gullible, murderous peasants that tow the party line as if Hillary was their leader.

    As is the case in histories past, the west, or what ever they call us will someday wake up, get tired of the pissing match and put an end to it..as they say. If you don’t learn from history, you don’t learn and repeat the mistakes. Osama needs to speak to some Japanese historians for a clue.
