CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Omar Osama bin Laden bears a striking resemblance to his notorious father—except for the dreadlocks that dangle halfway down his back. Then there's the black leather biker jacket.
The 26-year-old does not renounce his father, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, but in an interview with The Associated Press, he said there is better way to defend Islam than militancy: Omar wants to be an "ambassador for peace" between Muslims and the West.
Omar—one of bin Laden's 19 children—raised a tabloid storm last year when he married a 52-year-old British woman, Jane Felix-Browne, who took the name Zaina Alsabah. Now the couple say they want to be advocates, planning a 3,000-mile horse race across North Africa to draw attention to the cause of peace.
"It's about changing the ideas of the Western mind. A lot of people think Arabs—especially the bin Ladens, especially the sons of Osama—are all terrorists. This is not the truth," Omar told the AP last week at a cafe in a Cairo shopping mall.
Of course, many may have a hard time getting their mind around the idea of "bin Laden: peacenik."
"Omar thinks he can be a negotiator," said Alsabah, who is trying to bring her husband to Britain. "He's one of the only people who can do this in the world."
Omar lived with the al-Qaida leader in Sudan, then moved with him to Afghanistan in 1996.
In that case, tell us where he is.
Uh OK...., now bring us the walking stick of the old man!
“It’s about changing the ideas of the Western mind. A lot of people think Arabs—especially the bin Ladens, especially the sons of Osama—are all terrorists. This is not the truth,”
PROVE IT.
Bin Laden’s Son Wants to be Ambassador of Peace? Yeah and I want a billion dollars and the primaries to be over.
“It’s about changing the ideas of the Western mind. A lot of people think Arabs—especially the bin Ladens, especially the sons of Osama—are all terrorists. This is not the truth,”
Yeah. Start with changing western minds. /s
This is not the son who is leader of Alqaida. That son is in Iran.
and I want to be considered a hottie by Playboy bunnies. But some things just aren’t credible, Mr Obama Jr.
OK - If he wants to be an ‘Ambassador for Peace’ - Follow the Prince of Peace and preach HIM to one and all...
I was all ready to reply:
OK bring us your father’s head on a stick and we’ll talk.
As I scrolled down I saw the first two replies...LOL
Yo Omar,,,,,,where’s your daddy?
Renounced Islamo-facism, rally Muslim outrage against Islamic terrorism and their jihad, and report your father’s location to American authorities forthwit and we might actually believe that you truly wish to be an ambassador for peace between Muslims and the West. Until then, go pound sand!!!!!
Patricide would be a good start.
If we knew where he was, so would his Papa’s henchmen, and he’d be dead in a jiffy.
How nice.
