Saudi Arabia: Bin Laden family requests surname change
AKI ^ | 2005 Jul 26

Posted on 07/26/2005 6:08:56 AM PDT by Wiz

Riyadh, 26 July (AKI) - The family of Osama bin Laden has asked the Saudi monarchy for permission to change its surname. The on-line newspaper Arabian Business reports that "the relatives of the 'sheikh of terror' no longer want to be recognised as belonging to the bin Laden family and have therefore asked to change the surname on their passports." The royal family is thought to have approved the request, according to the newspaper, which it describes it as "unprecedented".

The family itself revealed that it had made the request to journalist John Bradley, who first got to know them while he was editor of the English language Saudi newspaper Arab News and bin Laden's nephews told him how they had left the United States immediately after September 11 on a special flight which took them back to Saudi Arabia.

And yet they've done nothing in their actions or deeds to improve the name.

A rose by any other name...

Notice that the Saudi bastards want ONLY their passport names changed....

They simply wish to travel out of their Turd World into the civilized world -- without being recognized as being related to the sonuvabitch....

The Saudis are the enemy...
All borders should be CLOSED to them until they clean the vermin out of their country...

Semper Fi

Durbin, Kennedy, or Waxman seem appropriate.

I look at this as a great dishonor to Osama. If my family had to change their name because of something aweful that I had done, that would be about the worse punishment that would afflict me. Of course, I am honorable so I have this sentimental attachment. Osama might care less.

The 14-year-old is Osama bin Laden - and within a few years the grinning schoolboy was on his way to becoming the world's most cold-hearted mass murderer. The bin Laden children lined up next to a pink Chrysler Imperial for this snapshot on a trip to Falun, Sweden, in 1971. The holiday was paid for by their father Mohammed, a billionaire building tycoon. Osama inherited a fortune when his dad died soon afterwards - and used it to build a worldwide network of terror.

What's recyclable here? It looks like refuse that would only continue to poison the Earth.

What peeves me most is that these people would rather change their name rather than reclaim it by denouncing such evil. No good apple in this bunch.
