OSAMA bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader, was obsessed with the singer Whitney Houston and wanted to marry her, a new book claims.
Kola Boof, a Sudanese poet and novelist, who says she was kept against her will as the terrorism mastermind's mistress in 1996, writes in her autobiography that he wanted to give the star a mansion and make her one of his wives.
"He told me that Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen," Boof claims in Diary of a Lost Girl, excerpts of which are published in Harper's magazine.
But bin Laden had less respect for Houston's husband Bobby Brown, apparently talking about the possibility of having him killed.
"He said that he had a paramount desire for Whitney Houston and although he claimed music was evil, he spoke of some day spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar," Boof writes.
"He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum.
"He explained to me that to possess Whitney, he would be willing to break his colour rule and make her one of his wives."
Bin Laden would speak constantly about "how beautiful she [Houston] is, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband - Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women's husbands killed."
Boof, who also says the al- Qaeda leader would "ramble on" about his favourite TV shows, The Wonder Years, Miami Vice and MacGyver, adds: "In his briefcase, I would come across photographs of the star, as well as copies of Playboy ... It would soon come to the point where I was sick of hearing Whitney Houston's name."
Bin Laden was first married in 1974, at the age of 17, to Najwa Ghanem, his mother's niece.
Although bin Laden has reportedly married four other women, he divorced one, Umm Ali bin Laden, a university lecturer, who studied in Saudi Arabia, and spent holidays in Khartoum, Sudan, where Osama later settled during his exile in the years 1991 to 1996.
The three latter wives of bin Laden were all university lecturers.
The al-Qaeda leader has fathered at least 24 children. His wife Najwa reportedly has 11 children by him.
This comes under the category of "you can say anything you want about the most wanted man in the world." What's he gonna do? Sue?
can you see OBL in a cave with a pic of Whitley, jerking it.
"Jerka Jerka Mohammed Jihad!"
Okay. THAT made me spit milk all over my keyboard!
"He told me that Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen"
Considering that most of his lover had been goats...
This is all designed to irritate Bin Laden enough that he comes out of hiding with his favorite wives (and goats) just to prove the story false.
Normally, I don't look kindly on "celebrities" who recover from wastrelhood & preach to others about the evils of substance abuse; I think they actually glamorize it: "See, you too can stew your brains in poison, become a pathetically helpless addict, recover miraculously whenever you get bored with the head-in-the-toilet routine, & end up looking like a Vogue cover on Oprah! No permanant damage done, kids!".
But the depths of Ms. Houston's disintegration are so well documented, the damage done to her life & her family so extreme, that if God willing she ever does get away from her POS husband and rejoin the human race again, she will make a powerful advocate for the anti-drug & alcohol forces in the black community. Heck, in any community.
Most addicts have to hit "rock bottom" in order to see the light at the end & climb out; she's been living her life at zero altitude for so long, it's hard to fathom that she has any memory of what light even looks like. Prayers for her family.
OMG!!!
OMG!!!!!!
She REALLY DOES look like a crack ho!
That is TRULY a real shame!
Wonder if she even still has a voice?
How could someone who was once SO beautiful and SO TALENTED ever try crack, KNOWING what it does!
That is a bad wig too!
"The three latter wives of bin Laden were all university lecturers."
That would explain A LOT!!!
She WAS beautiful and wholesome back in the 80's.
Those recent pics, however, are SO SCARY!!!
Actually, I think porn has had a large influence as well, since they often refer to "Americans trading wives", etc. Great for soft-core porn storylines... but in real life, who wants to disappoint TWO women instead of just one? ;^)
LOL...best post of the day!
I don't know if this Boof woman is for real or not, but she tells a fascinating story: http://www.blacknews.com/pr/bin201.html
She's obviously not stupid.
