Special Dispatch 343 - Jihad and Terrorism Studies

Saudi Government Official on Bin Laden as a Hero:
"He Did Not Present a Distorted Picture of Islam to the West" American Jews are "Brothers of Apes and Pigs"
The popular Al-Jazeera talk show, "The Opposite Direction," recently addressed the issue of whether Osama bin Laden has served the cause of Islam, or damaged it. Appearing on the program were Osama Safar, a Kuwaiti columnist who opposed bin Laden and Abdallah Bin Matruk Al-Haddal, a Saudi preacher from the Ministry of Islamic Affairs in Saudi Arabia, who supported bin Laden.
Since September 11th the policy set by the heads of the Saudi Kingdom dictates that Saudi government employees are to refrain from expressing support of bin Laden. However, Al-Haddal stood firmly in defense of bin Laden. In his comments he also fiercely attacked American Jewry. Following are excerpts of Al-Haddal's statements:[1]
On Bin Laden...
"...I did not come [here] to defend bin Laden personally. Bin Laden waged an Islamic Jihad; he defended the oppressed people in Afghanistan. He expelled the Soviet Union [from Afghanistan]. The Western world focuses on Osama bin Laden and the Jihad, and ignores the Muslims' faith, their principles, and their values. Men like bin Laden will not allow the Islamic world to bow down under the infidel enemies' tyranny, under the tyranny of the U.S...."
"...There is no doubt that Osama bin Laden waged Jihad against the infidels, against the aggressor and the oppressor. America does not want Islamic principles [to exist] on the face of this planet. It does not want the full implementation of Islam's values and principles... It does not want there to be a free Islamic economy."
"...America doesn't want to have any competitors. She wants to be all alone in this world. Osama bin Laden's demands are the demands of his nation. The nation who gave rise to Osama bin Laden is a strong and great nation. It is the nation of the future. Before bin Laden, it gave rise to Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi [Salladin]."
"...Osama bin Laden [caused] the West to think and read a lot about Islam. Books on Islam disappeared from the market; everybody wants to read about the kind of Islam that does not accept oppression..."
"...Osama bin Laden is a Jihad warrior who implemented the principles of Islam and of faith, and then reached the pinnacle by going to fight the Jihad in Afghanistan. This is a man who gave his soul for Allah, and Allah guarded his soul until he reached a point where he became a hero like Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi [Salladin]."
"Like all other Muslims, bin Laden wanted to apply the Shari'a fully with its values, principles, economics, media, and education. Even in sports there should be Shar'i sport."
On American Jewry
"I don't believe that the attack on America [on September 11th] was perpetrated by bin Laden or the Muslims. I think differently. I believe it was a scheme. What is happening now is a continuation of an ancient attack. It is a continuation of the Jewish deception and the Jewish-Zionist wickedness which infiltrates the U.S.... I am surprised that the Christian U.S. allows the 'brothers of apes and pigs' [meaning the Jews] to corrupt it. [The Jews] have murdered the prophets and the messengers. [The Jews] are the most despicable people who walked the land and are the worms of the entire world. They are all evil. And why? Because they are deceiving and plotting aggressors..."
"...The Jews do not respect Jesus, the son of Mary. America should know who the Jews truly are. The Jews see Jesus as someone born from prostitution, while he is the noble prophet of Allah, and his mother, peace be upon her, is pure..."
"...Jewish fingerprints have infiltrated the U.S. Jewish evil and deception are those who attacked the U.S. [on September 11th]. Osama bin Laden fought against the opposing falsehood and oppression that is generated by the evil and deceptive Jewish-Zionism..."
"...They want to rid the world of Islam. They don't want Islam to ever have a revival. Osama bin Laden removed oppression; even Muslims came back to their belief and their religion. He did not present a distorted picture of Islam to the West. Quite the contrary; reading about Islam became more popular in the West. Westerners read on the morality of the Prophet Mohammed, his beliefs and his values. They read about Islam, not about terrorism..."
"...The American people is a people that is being led by the media and TV culture. If a wicked Jewish crook begins saying that the Muslims are oppressors, it has an influence on the Americans. The media in America is in the hands of the Jews and behind it there are the Jewish Zionists' despicable fingerprints that change reality. They have even deceived the Christians about their own religion. Did you know that the person who forged the Christian religion is a Jew?"
"The Muslims have mercy on the Christians more than they have on the Jews. Bin Laden defended the oppressed. We warn the U.S. and advise her to get rid of the Jews."

Typical Muslim logic from the parallel universe.
Of course he didn't present a distorted picture...
He lived it!
(totally correct, but absolutely Clintonian)
OK. Here is what our Allies REALLY think...Hey, poop you! I'd rather be a brother to apes and pigs than to be associated with the author of that drivel..
http://www.memri.org/
We are an 501(c)3 status organization, therefore your donations to The Middle East Media & Research Institute are tax-deductible.
Osama IS ISLAM!!!!You're freaking wrong...
I started to say that everything in this article is untrue and the author is an idiot, but that would not be quite accurate.
More accurate statement: Everything in this article is insane. The author is a barbarian.
The author of this article cannot be reasoned with, but he can be defeated.
I could bring in some Sudanese Christians or pizza parlor attending Israel teenagers to speak on the subject.Both are politically motivated, where religion plays second fiddle.
Why do you want MEMRI to lose its 501c3 status?
Are you annoyed at them disseminateing the actual Arab agenda?
Don't ya love MEMRI? One day there'll be an Arabic babblefish, and we'll get to read what they really, really think.
Write your congressman and call the IRS. I love MEMRI, it's nice to read what these ignorant *astards really think of America. I didn't know their status. I may go donate now.
To bad the Koran and the other book are not. If you believe in the garbage that the rapist, murder, lier wrote then it you are an enemy.
Q.9: 29 "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the people of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
And if you want I can pull up plenty more of this stuff from your book.

For those who want to see what they say about America in the Arabic world, here are two good links.
IMRA for ongoing daily articles.
MEMRI for more in depth reports.
Any comment on the content, ub255. How about "The Muslims have mercy on the Christians more than they have on the Jews. Bin Laden defended the oppressed. We warn the U.S. and advise her to get rid of the Jews." Are you an American? I'm an American Jew. Will you stand up for me.
You better believe it. I want to know as much about my enemy as possible.
