I was monitoring the thread which was attempting to understand who this "Daleel" identity represented on the Yahoo! message board.
Cindy writes in post 1308:
"He wrote (sic) "I am salaah aldeen...knowing that i am using the american university of sharjah network is something you should know why with out asking ! there are 4,000 students here..;O)...enjoy."
Here is my take on this guy "Daleel".
Daleel is a pseudonym and part of an orchestrated information war being promulgated by Al Queda on us.
Daleel may be one or more individuals who may or may not be using servers legitimately or illegitimately through a university in the middle east.
It is entirely possible that AQ may have code to pirate control of a server and "reflect" their mail messages through the server (assigning the MAC/IP addy to the hijacked server).
The University may not be aware of the use. (see the story of Kevin Mitnick). Certainly, Calpernia's ID of Daleel as a hacker fits with this profile. It would be more revealing to verify which sites had been attacked by this person/group.
Now, more importantly, the photos of the ship are a red herring. The name offered by "Daleel" is a sham... his name is NOT "Salaah Aldeen".
How do I know?
Here's a clip on the REAL Salaah Aldeen from
http://www.stanford.edu/~jamila/Aqsa.html. It appears that Salaah Aldeen expelled European Christians from Jerusalem in the year 1189 to Islamic rule.
After all, that's the crux of this war...isn't it?
Calpernia... I think you're emailing with Al Queda.
Quoting the web page:
"In 621 A.D., the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ascended to the heavens in the night known as Israa and Mirag to the Muslims (Malachi 3 Verse 1-14). In that night, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led all the Prophets of Allah (PBUT) in prayer in the Holy Mosque (Masjid Al-Aqsa). For this reason, Masjid Al-Aqsa is a holy place of worship for the Muslims, along with Kaba in Makkah and The Prophet's (PBUH) Mosque in Medina. These are the three most important Mosques to the Muslims.
In 637 A.D., the Christian leader of Jerusalem, Snaifors, realized through the holy Scriptures (Zeckariah 9 Verses 9 and 10), that the second leader of the Islamic State, Umar ibn Al-Khatab, fits the description of the one who would open Jerusalem and free it from the evil empires. Snaifors surrendered peacefully. Umar ibn Al-Khatab and the Muslims, after securing Jerusalem, again established Masjid Al-Aqsa as a holy place of worship. Both the Christians and the Jews were pleased with the arrival of Umar and the Muslims, and with the just rule under the Islamic State.
In the eleventh century, the European Christians in the crusades, tortured the Jews and the Muslims. They burned the Jews in the their Temples and they burned the Muslims in Masjid Al-Aqsa. The European Christians even tortured the Arab Christians and destroyed their churches. The Jews fled to Indulis (Spain), to receive protection under Islamic rule or a Muslim society. In 1189 A.D., the leader of the Muslim army, Salah Aldeen Al-Ayobi expelled the European Christians from Jerusalem, and returned Jerusalem to Islamic rule. The Christian, Jews, and Muslims lived in harmony under Islamic rule."

I have further revelation... this spelling of Salaah Aldeen... is an Islamic variant for "SALADIN"...
Now, it makes sense... OBL believes that he is Saladin...attempting to wrestle control of the holy islamic sites from King Faad.
From
http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0843183.html "Gathering a large force of Muslims of various groups—but all called Saracens by the Christians—he set out to attack the Christians. Raymond of Tripoli was at first his ally, but then joined the other Crusaders, and the great battle of Hattin (near Tiberias) in 1187 found Christians matched against Muslims. Saladin won brilliantly, capturing Guy of Lusignan and Reginald of Châtillon. The city of Jerusalem also fell to him. The Third Crusade was gathered (1189) and came to the Holy Land to try to recover the Holy City. Thus it was that Richard I of England and Saladin met in the conflict that was to be celebrated in later chivalric romance. The reputation that Saladin had among the Christians for generosity and chivalry does not seem to have been a legend, and there seems no doubt that Saladin admired Richard as a worthy opponent. The Crusaders, however, failed in their purpose and succeeded only in capturing Akko. In 1192, Saladin came to agreement with the Crusaders upon the Peace of Ramla, which left the Latin Kingdom only a strip along the coast from Tyre to Yafo. The Christians were never to recover from their defeat."
