Osama bin Laden's new speech(FULL TEXT)
Nettavisen (BBC&Reuters) ^ | 15 April, 2004 | OBL

Posted on 04/15/2004 9:46:40 AM PDT by Eurotwit

Praise be to Almighty God; Peace and prayers be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and companions.

This is a message to our neighbours north of the Mediterranean Sea with a proposal for a truce in response to the positive reactions which emerged there.

This is a message to our neighbours north of the Mediterranean, containing a reconciliation initiative as a response to their positive reactions.

Praise be to God; praise be to God; praise be to God who created heaven and earth with justice and who allowed the oppressed to punish the oppressor in the same way.

Peace upon those who followed the right path:

In my hands there is a message to remind you that justice is a duty towards those whom you love and those whom you do not. And people's rights will not be harmed if the opponent speaks out about them.

The greatest rule of safety is justice, and stopping injustice and aggression. It was said: Oppression kills the oppressors and the hotbed of injustice is evil. The situation in occupied Palestine is an example.

What happened on September 11 and March 11 are your goods returned to you so that you know security is a necessity for all and we do not accept that you monopolise it for yourselves, and knowledgeable nations will not accept that their leaders risk their security.

Be aware that if you describe us and our actions as terrorism then you should describe yourselves and your actions that way as well.

Our actions come in response to your actions of destroying and killing our people in Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine. It is enough to witness the event that shocked the world, the killing of the elderly, wheelchair-bound Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, God have mercy on him, and we pledge to God to take revenge on America, God willing.

Under what grace are your victims innocent and ours dust and under which doctrine is your blood blood and our blood water? Reciprocation is just and he who starts is more unjust.

As for your leaders, and those who adopt their strategy, who insist on ignoring the real problem of the occupation of all of Palestine and who exaggerate in lying and denying our right to defend ourselves and to resist, they have no self-respect and belittle the faith and minds of people.

Their fallacy increases the shedding of your blood instead of stemming it. A review of the deaths in our land and your land reveal an important truth which is that there is injustice done to both us and you by your leaders who send your sons, despite your objections, to our land to kill and be killed.

It is in the interest of both parties not to give a chance to those who shed the blood of nations for their limited personal interest and obedience to the gang of the White House.

This war earns millions of dollars for big companies, whether those who manufacture weapons or those involved in reconstruction such as Halliburton and its sisters and daughters. And it becomes very clear who benefits from igniting the fires of this war and bloodshed, it is the traders of war, the bloodsuckers who run the policy of the world from behind a curtain.

President (George W.) Bush and leaders in his sphere, big media institutions, and the United Nations which entrenches the relationship between the veto masters and the General Assembly slaves, are all instruments in deceiving and abusing people.

All of them are a fatal danger to the world, and the Zionist lobby is their most dangerous and difficult member, and we insist, God willing, on continuing to fight them.

Based on this, and to deprive war traders of opportunities, and in response to the positive reactions reflected in recent events and public polls showing that most European people want a truce, I urge the faithful, especially scholars, clerics and traders to establish a permanent committee to build awareness among Europeans of the justice of our causes, foremost Palestine, and make use of the vast media resources.

I offer a truce to them (Europe) with a commitment to stop operations against any state which vows to stop attacking Muslims or interfere in their affairs, including (participating) in the American conspiracy against the wider Muslim world.

This first truce can be renewed upon expiry and the establishment of a new government agreed upon by both parties. And the announcement of the truce starts with the withdrawal of the last soldier from our land and the door is open for three months from the date of the announcement of this statement.

Whoever rejects this truce and wants war, we are its (war's) sons and whoever wants this truce, here we bring it.

Stop shedding our blood to save your own and the solution to this simple but complex equation is in your hands. You know matters will escalate the more you delay and then do not blame us but blame yourselves. Rational people do not risk their security, money and sons to appease the White House liar.

The killing of Russians came after their invasion of Afghanistan and Chechnya, and the killing of Europeans came after their invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. The killing of Americans on the day of New York came after their support of the Jews in Palestine and their invasion of the Arabian peninsula and their killing in Somalia came after they invaded it in an operation to 'restore hope', so we returned them without hope, thank God.

It is said that prevention is better than cure. A happy person is he who learns a lesson from the experience of others.

Heeding right is better than persisting in falsehood.

Peace be upon those who follow guidance.

Osalama rambles on even worse than John Kerry does in his speeches.

Why are we being so tortured? Why do they hate us? Why are we forced to listen to their speeching??? Have mercy!

I wish Osama would take the falafel out of his mouth and speak in plain English. Can anybody translate what the heck he's trying to say? He sounds like something out of Monty Python.

Translation; elect an Islamokazi government during the grace period or we Islamokazis will resume our jihad upon you.

I wonder why this particular phrase hasn't made it out there before (BTW, based on that, methinks Breaking is in order; Mods?)

Straight out the democrat talking points. OBL must be on the fax list from DNC headquarters.

Fine, we'll remove ourselves from the muslims lands, however, we in return want the muslims removed from our lands. They want nothing Christian or Jewish in their space we want nothing muslim. They would all starve living in their stone age and then of course they would blame the U.S. What a bunch of crap.

I think the most reasonable explanation, given that Intelligence is matching up this voice with bin Laden CONSISTENTLY, is that bin Laden has changed his appearance. Any videotaping would render that obsolete. There would be absolutely no good reason for him to show up on television. AQ is obviously getting along fine....

The speaker (whether OBL or not) even calls Bush a "liar". But he forgot to equate Bush to Hitler. He needs to spend more time reading Indymedia.

I have come to the conclusion that the lives of people who adhere to a religion which commands them to spread that religion by violence if necessary, and which allows enslavement , mutilation, torture, and murder as acceptable means...the lives of such people are of no worth whatsoever.

I am tired of reading about muslem rape gangs in Europe and Australia...Muslem slavers at work in the Sudan...Muslem gangs attacking Christians in Nigeria...Muslems forcing whole villages of Mollucans to convert to their vile 'religion', and inflicting obscene mutilations upon them...Christian girls being kidnapped and raped to "convert" them in Egypt...Muslem thugs attacking Europeans in what were once European cities, demanding the loathesome sharia law...Muslems murdering nonmuslems throughout the world, from Israel to Bali to NYC to DC to Russia to-??? Where AREN'T they commiting these obscenities???

'Water'? Try pig urine.

Don't be so sure.

He knows we have used video tapes in the past to pin down the location they were made. In addition, we know some of his video tapes showed such bad health that it was considered demoralizing to his supporters.

Or, perhaps he shaved his beard as part of a survival motivated disguise. Any change in his appearance would need to be kept a very tight secret. (A fattened up, clean shaven Osama in a business suit? He'd walk right past airport security.)

Finally, (pause... putting on tinfoil hat...): What if the infamous "go" code is something as simple his doing exactly what you just described? (Whatever the "go" code is, you can bet it will be simple.)
