Osama bin Laden Makes Another Speech!
From the Middle East Media Research Institute comes the latest speech by Osama bin Laden. The greatest flaw in George W. Bush's foreign policy has been the reliance on the leaders of another religion to water down their faith in order to "get along" with the "civilized world." Bush forgets one deadly danger, and Tony Blair forgets it, too: The fanatical streak in Islam is not a "mutant strain"; it is the original wild type. In Osama bin Laden you see the true face of Islam, in obedience to all its fundamentals. To Osama bin Laden, the Crusades never ended. Clearly he wants to be the new Caliph of Islam uber alles (or however you say that in Arabic). And also: Jihad means one thing, and one thing only: the overthrow of non-Islamic regimes wherever they stand. Notice also that if you take away the incitements to war, you could have an ordinary fundamentalist preacher saying that wishy-washy in-name-onlies are corrupting the kids. And I for one do not care to rely on another religion getting "less fundamentalistic" in order that we may "get along" with them.

Note: I don't believe for one picosecond that American forces, under their present leadership, would "wipe Qatar off the map" or any of the other silly quotes that Osama (if it is truly he) provided. I especially don't believe that as regards Saudi Arabia--witness the continued abuses involving American-born children kidnapped to Saudi Arabia and held against their will under Saudi law. But a "Beastly" America certainly would do all the things that Osama wants people to fear today.

Is Osama bin Laden the Beast? No--because he does not come out of the sea of peoples. But I predict that he is the first in a line of inciters of a war that will give the Beast an excuse to rule.::Submitted for your wars and rumors of wars [Matthew 24:6] and your ride a red horse [Revelation 6:4] files.
