“Asking the Better Question about Faux UBL”
SNIPPET: “A maqsura (royal box) is the reserved space within a mosque originally designed to shield a worshiping caliph and his court from assassins. It has evolved into a ceremonial space wherein a sultan or ruler can attend a prayer service in a mosque. Some are quite elaborate. Others are simply a wood screen. The question recently arose about whether Usama bin Ladin was seated in a ceremonial space at Abu Yahya al-Libis recently released Eid al-Fitr sermon. Adam at Danger Room broke it. Kompass and Roggio say yes. Rusty says no way.
I thought Id ask a slightly different question in this first new post of mine for weeks: Why does As-Sahab want people to think that it might be him?
First, lets hit the tape and see what can see.”
