Bin Laden Says West Is Waging War Against Islam
By
MICHAEL SLACKMAN
CAIRO, April 23 - Osama bin Laden denounced what he called a 'Zionist-crusaders war on Islam' in an audiotape broadcast Sunday, pointing to the isolation of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, talk of a Western peacekeeping force in Sudan and Muslim outrage over Danish cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad as new evidence of a clash of civilizations.
His voice sounding strong and combative, Mr. bin Laden implied that killing American civilians was justified, beseeched Muslims to fight any Sudan peacekeeping force and called for the creators of the offensive cartoons to be turned over to Al Qaeda for punishment.
The audiotape, broadcast by Al Jazeera and deemed authentic by American intelligence officials and terrorism experts, was Mr. bin Laden's second in three months and the first in which he has raised Sudan as a possible new battleground where Muslims should go to fight. The tape appeared intended not only to re-establish his role as a sort of supreme guide for Al Qaeda, but also to inform his enemies that he is acutely aware of current news events that reflect violent confrontation between Islam and the West.
While Al Qaeda had previously criticized Hamas leaders for participating in Palestinian elections, Mr. bin Laden sought to tap into the wide public support among Arabs for Hamas, which Israel, the United States and the European Union regard as a terrorist organization."

Yes, I am in favor of the caricatures and even more mockery of his and all other so-called "prophets" -- because if you can't laugh about them, you can only cry about the horrors they cause ! And I am against a terror regime of Hamas in Palestine : Peace is necessary there and normal cohabitation with neighboring countries, not attacks and questioning of their right to existence ! And I'm in favor of saving the hungering people in Darfur without having them take refuge in some religious shadows on the walls of some new caves!
And yes, I'm American and not at all in favor of the playpen, the bushbaby, al qaida, or bin laden --- two covens with two all-too-similar "chieftains" in them. I am in favor of human rights, civil rights, justice, freedom ..... And I value the right of all to express their thoughts. Now that the man who wants to have so many of us killed has expressed his, this is mine!
