[URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13451158"]BBC[/URL] [release][I]In the audio message, Bin Laden praises the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt[/I] A recording purported to have been made by Osama Bin Laden shortly before he died has been released by al-Qaeda. In the message, he praises the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt and speaks of a "rare historic opportunity" for Muslims to rise up. The 12-minute audio message appeared on a video posted on Islamist websites, and has been translated by the US monitoring group SITE intelligence. Bin Laden was shot dead by US Navy Seals at a Pakistan compound on 2 May. Speculation is mounting that al-Qaeda has appointed a former Egyptian army colonel, Saif al-Adel, as temporary leader to replace Bin Laden. Adel was once Bin Laden's security chief, and is suspected of involvement in the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, training the Somali fighters who killed 18 US servicemen in Mogadishu in 1993, and instructing some of the 11 September 2001 hijackers. He fled to Iran from Afghanistan after the US-led invasion in 2001, and was reportedly held under house arrest near Tehran. Reports at the end of last year said he may have been released and made his way to northern Pakistan. Some Western analysts have expressed scepticism over reports of his appointment. Bin Laden's long-time deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, also Egyptian, is thought to be the front-runner for the role. 'Serious crossroads' In the recording, Bin Laden refers to the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt but makes no mention of the uprisings in Syria, Libya and Yemen. "I think that the winds of change will blow over the entire Muslim world, with permission from Allah," he says. "There is a serious crossroads before you, and a great and rare historic opportunity to rise up with the Ummah (Muslim community) and to free yourselves from servitude to the desires of the rulers, man-made law, and Western dominance," he also says. "So, what are you waiting for? Save yourselves and your children, because the opportunity is here". Al-Qaeda is generally perceived to have been caught off guard by the Arab Spring uprisings that began in January in Tunisia and swiftly followed in Egypt - toppling the long-time leaders of both countries. Analysts say that while both al-Qaeda and the West back the uprisings sweeping across several Arab nations, they seek very different outcomes. The West hopes they will lead to democratic reforms, while al-Qaeda wants to see new governments based on their interpretation of Islamic law.[/release] Video on source page

Your title scared the absolute shit out of me.
Now we're just waiting for those death confirmation photos...... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting.....
Perhaps Osama's crazy religious views are true, now all Taliban fighters will rise from the ground.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;29928289]Rather than, you know, all the people in Tunisia and Egypt?[/QUOTE] Are you implying Osama cared about anyone other than muslims? Silly you.
[QUOTE=BigOwl;29928295]Your title scared the absolute shit out of me.[/QUOTE] same here.
[QUOTE=VaSTinY;29928302]Now we're just waiting for those death confirmation photos...... and waiting... and waiting... and waiting.....[/QUOTE] Why do you think photos are confirmation of his death? Why do we need to see low quality snapshots of a bloody corpse?
[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;29928788]Why do you think photos are confirmation of his death? Why do we need to see low quality snapshots of a bloody corpse?[/QUOTE] what will happen if they DO release photos: "hurr those photos aren't real, they're doctored with government holograms and thermite paint!"
I vote this thread to have "The #1 most misleading title award" I nearly shit my pants when it was loading.
Tunisia and Egypt are old news, this is no proof Bin Laden is alive. lol i can't read
wheres my osama sex tape :c
[QUOTE=Adbor;29929137]Tunisia and Egypt are old news, this is no proof Bin Laden is alive.[/QUOTE] are you retarded
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;29928839]what will happen if they DO release photos: "hurr those photos aren't real, they're doctored with government holograms and thermite paint!"[/QUOTE] Most likely, but can the fancy schmucks in the whitehouse atleast release some photos at all so we actually get to see that he could be dead
[QUOTE=VaSTinY;29929339]Most likely, but can the fancy schmucks in the whitehouse atleast release some photos at all so we actually get to see that he could be dead[/QUOTE] How would any photograph be proof that he could be dead? Anything like that, especially after so many weeks, could easily be faked.
[QUOTE=VaSTinY;29929339]Most likely, but can the fancy schmucks in the whitehouse atleast release some photos at all so we actually get to see that he could be dead[/QUOTE] They said they killed him. What more do you want? Stop questioning it and realize that if they said it, either they actually did kill him, or they don't give a shit about him anymore. It's done.
Also, unless Al Qaeda is some sort of U.S. puppet bad guy, he really is dead, seeing as they have nothing to gain by reporting his death.
It wouldn't be so bad if everyone was Muslim. It would be pretty cool actually, it would be a norm.
[QUOTE=Gekkosan;29930306]It wouldn't be so bad if everyone was Muslim. It would be pretty cool actually, it would be a norm.[/QUOTE] .... No thanks.

[QUOTE=Samuelgames;29931567]Is there a link to the full, translated recording instead of just a sheet of it?[/QUOTE] yes but you have to register to site intel group(its not free)
[QUOTE=Lazor;29931483]wow you have no fucking clue what you're talking about[/QUOTE] I do not. :smith:
Misleading thread title, the tape was not released by Osama, it was released by AlQaeda.
[QUOTE=Brage Nyman;29928335]Perhaps Osama's crazy religious views are true, now all Taliban fighters will rise from the ground.[/QUOTE] I don't think he really believed in them, considering that he had porn magazines in his mansion.
[QUOTE=Lizurd Man;29929445]They said they killed him. What more do you want? Stop questioning it and realize that if they said it, either they actually did kill him, or they don't give a shit about him anymore. It's done.[/QUOTE] Well, it's just words. I don't find words to be particularly trustworthy from a government, especially if it's america's
[QUOTE=Gekkosan;29930306]It wouldn't be so bad if everyone was Muslim. It would be pretty cool actually, it would be a norm.[/QUOTE] I'd prefer Christianity over Islam as a norm.
[QUOTE=BigOwl;29928295]Your title scared the absolute shit out of me.[/QUOTE] Osama Bin Laden is coming to your neighbourhood to blow up your kids and your wife, your luxury car and suburban house! He's the leader of a bunch of terrorists who hate your freedom, cars, pizza and blowjobs. I don't understand why you're not afraid of the armies your countries are creating.
He just doesn't give up, does he?

DAMN COMMIE MEXICON KENYEN JEW QUEERO PRESIDENT!" I really hate conspiracy theorist who always think the government is trying to kill you and conquer your house and kick your dog. Aside from the simple lack of evidence, its completely asinine and does nothing productive other than make everyone in the room want to beat you with a sack of bricks. My grandmother seriously believes Obama is the antichrist, and she actually has a blog and twitter account just so she can bitch about him, and my father thinks Obama is a Muslim socialist and that he wants to destroy the country. And that is just for Obama. They did it with Bush, they did it with Clinton, they did it with Senior Bush. I cannot stand idiot conspiracy theorists, because you never have any proof beyond a few wikipedia articles with bad citations that you've misconstrued, some random asshole's blog talking about nanothermite, and rhetoric so bad that Glenn Beck and Michael Moore together couldn't compare. Sorry, but I just wanted to say this early before the sixteen page debate over how 9/11 was a government plot begins.
