I never thought of it like that but it sure looks that way.
OSAMA BIN LADEN
In his famous Fatwa issued in August 1996, Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places, Osama Bin Laden is disturbed by the fact that Muslims are being persecuted by the Zionists-Crusaders alliance led by the United States of America. Osama gives references to the following Quranic verses emphasizing the duty of human beings to the Creator and stressing the importance of restraining oppressors. These are:
? “O you who believe! Be careful of-your duty to-Allah with the proper care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslim.” (3:102)
? “O you who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah and speak the right word; He will put your deeds into a right state for you, and forgive you your faults; and who ever obeys Allah and his Apostle, he indeed achieve a mighty success.” (33:70-71)
? “You are the best of the nations raised up for the benefit of men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah.” (3:110)
? The Prophet (sws) said: “The people are close to an all encompassing punishment from Allah if they see the oppressor and fail to restrain him.”
>So, does this actually mean 0 made a subliminal call for Jihad in front of the world with his Muslim Brothers in attendance?<
Maybe.
I thought this was interesting:
Muslims are warned not to fight amongst themselves:
“Under such circumstances, to push the enemy-the greatest Kufr- out of the country is a prime duty. No other duty after Belief is more important than the duty of had. Utmost effort should be made to prepare and instigate the Ummah against the enemy, the American-Israeli alliance - occupying the country of the two Holy Places and the route of the Apostle (sws) to the Furthest Mosque (Al-Aqsa Mosque). Also to remind the Muslims not to be engaged in an internal war among themselves, as that will have grieve consequences namely:
? consumption of the Muslims human resources as most casualties and fatalities will be among the Muslims people.
? Exhaustion of the economic and financial resources.
? Destruction of the country infrastructures
? Dissociation of the society
? Destruction of the oil industries. The presence of the USA Crusader military forces on land, sea and air of the states of the Islamic Gulf is the greatest danger threatening the largest oil reserve in the world. The existence of these forces in the area will provoke the people of the country and induces aggression on their religion, feelings and prides and push them to take up armed struggle against the invaders occupying the land; therefore spread of the fighting in the region will expose the oil wealth to the danger of being burned up. The economic interests of the States of the Gulf and the land of the two Holy Places will be damaged and even a greater damage will be caused to the economy of the world. I would like here to alert my brothers, the Mujahideen, the sons of the nation, to protect this (oil) wealth and not to include it in the battle as it is a great Islamic wealth and a large economical power essential for the soon to be established Islamic state, by Allah’s Permission and Grace. We also warn the aggressors, the USA, against burning this Islamic wealth (a crime which they may commit in order to prevent it, at the end of the war, from falling in the hands of its legitimate owners and to cause economic damages to the competitors of the USA in Europe or the Far East, particularly Japan which is the major consumer of the oil of the region).
? Division of the land of the two Holy Places, and annexing of the northerly part of it by Israel. Dividing the land of the two Holy Places is an essential demand of the Zionist-Crusader alliance. The existence of such a large country with its huge resources under the leadership of the forthcoming Islamic State, by Allah’s Grace, represent a serious danger to the very existence of the Zionist state in Palestine. The Nobel Ka’ba, -the Qiblah of all Muslims- makes the land of the two Holy Places a symbol for the unity of the Islamic world. Moreover, the presence of the world largest oil reserve makes the land of the two Holy Places an important economical power in the Islamic world. The sons of the two Holy Places are directly related to the life style (Seerah) of their forefathers, the companions, may Allah be pleased with them. They consider the Seerah of their forefathers as a source and an example for re-establishing the greatness of this Ummah and to raise the word of Allah again. Furthermore the presence of a population of fighters in the south of Yemen, fighting in the cause of Allah, is a strategic threat to the Zionist-Crusader alliance in the area. The Prophet (sws) said: (around twelve thousands will emerge from Aden/Abian helping -the cause of- Allah and His messenger, they are the best, in the time, between me and them) narrated by Ahmad with a correct trustworthy reference.
? An internal war is a great mistake, no matter what reasons are there for it. the presence of the occupier-the USA- forces will control the outcome of the battle for the benefit of the international Kufr.”
Remember how we took the fight over there after 9/11?
Maybe Millstone is taking their fight over here.
? consumption of the Muslims human resources as most casualties and fatalities will be among the Muslims people.
(Not if the fight is over here)
? Exhaustion of the economic and financial resources.

? Destruction of the country infrastructures

Al Qaeda’s inside man at 1600 is their greatest weapon.
They must be laughing at America right now, because so many people were stupid enough to put him there.
Yes. It does.
