If you go through all of UBL's statements over the past ten years, you see that he obsesses over Palestine almost as much as Arabia. And notice how he signs his name. The father of the Mahdi is supposedly named Muhammed. Most important, his gives his address as Khorasan.
There is no place called Khorasan in modern-day Afghanistan like there is in Iran. And the part of Afghanistan that borders the Iranian province of Khorasan (whose capital is Mashad) is in the west - - the Hindu Kush is in the far northeast of Afghanistan near the Pakistani and Chinese borders.
It would be like someone from Massachusetts giving their return address as the British Empire or someone from Burma saying they live in Imperial Japan.
If we don't understand where this all came from, we will not be able to see where this all is about to culminate.

"I feel still the pain of (the loss) Al-Quds in my internal organs.
That loss is like a burning fire in my intestines
I did not betray my covenant with God, when even states did betray it!

Your brothers in Palestine and in the land of the two Holy Places are
calling upon your help and asking you to take part in fighting against
the enemy -your enemy and their enemy- the Americans and the
Israelis. They are asking you to do whatever you can, with one own
means and ability, to expel the enemy, humiliated and defeated, out
of the sanctities of Islam. Exalted be to Allah said in His book: { and if
they ask your support, because they are oppressed in their faith, then
support them!} (Anfaal; 8:72) . . .

Thank you Joe for your reply.
I have to agree, he plays up the "I am" the great one.
He also wants all the muslims on his side of the fight.
I don't see a lot of change in his messages.
They all appear to say, "lets fight".
Great work and Thanks!
