New Bin Ladin tape

[Wash Me]

The Al Jazeera Arab satellite station confirmed it received an audio statement from Osama bin Laden ...

its his voice alright.
but is it another fraud to jusify this war?
or is it really him trying to gather an army to defend iraqi people?

Do you have a link?

He asked Muslim community to unite against US, basically he declared Jehad.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Which muslim communities will fight for Jehad? I've heard that many will want peace, while many will want to end America's reign of power. How closely tied to the the US are these countries?

[LOIC]

This tape comes at the good moment for the u$ government.
Just when they try difficultly to convince some countries to follow them in war.
I think this tape is a fraud and I think that the u$ government try to scare the world with the terrorists once again.
It's nothing else but propaganda.

[hawarameen]

not another jihad, they are still trying to fulfil the last one

[LeonardoDaVinci]

What I'm still trying to understand is how exactly does Bin Laden's message asking muslims to protect the Iraqi people vindicate Colin Powell's theory of the Iraq-Al Qaeda link ?:confused:

[Xvall]

Bin Laden hates Iraq. He would never defend it.

Bin Laden hates Iraq. He would never defend it.
He hates the secular government of Saddam Hussein. However, as a muslim he will believe that it is his holy duty to defend the innocent muslims of Iraq against such an agression.

I have a shit link (CNN)

A new audio message purportedly from Osama bin Laden calls on Muslims around the world to show solidarity against U.S.-led military action against Iraq. The tape aired on Arab network Al-Jazeera, which
originally denied its existence.

I hate ben laden!!! This damn arab supports chechen sepsratists-terrorists with money and weapons!!! :angry:

I don't understand Arabic, but according to BBC World a half hour ago, OBL says on the tape that Saddam Hussein is an infidel. This would seem to contradict Powel's claim that the tape is further evidence of Iraq's
complicity with al-Quaeda.

Full translation of transcript by the BBC's monitoring service at Caversham
(a rush job I guess!) is at

The part referred to is this, I think:

"Under these circumstances, there will be no harm if the interests of
Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against
the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists.
The jurisdiction of the socialists and those rulers has fallen a long
time ago.
Socialists are infidels wherever they are, whether they are in Baghdad
or Aden."

Can anyone point to a complete transcript of the Powell version?

There are some old conspiracy theories that reckon he's actually Zoroastrian, but hey, I don't have a weapons inspection team with me to prove that one...

[Che Entifada]

I think that OBL msg is good for iraq .. it proves that there is no relation btwn the both, iraq and Qaaeda.
About what he talked about (OBL) .. i think he means what he said .. coz as one of u said that as a muslim he must defend and fight with the iraqi people whatever the government is ..
Another point, the war in the middle east will give also a great chance for what is called (israel) to attack all the palestinain cities and do whatever it want ..
