  • The Story of Osama bin Laden
     OP - May 15, 2011, 05:53 PM

    Father of bin Laden’s wife rebuffed union at first _ Amal Abdul-Fattah married bin Laden at 18, before 9/11
    Quote
      SANAA -

    The Yemeni father of Osama bin Laden’s youngest wife, wounded in a U.S. raid that killed the al-Qaida leader, said he initially rebuffed a matchmaker’s proposal that his daughter marry bin Laden, before blessing their union. Ahmed Abdul-Fattah al-Saada said they were married in 1999, well before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, and that all he knew about bin Laden’s politics then was that he had backed insurgents fighting Soviet forces in Afghanistan.

    Saada told Reuters it took several requests before he allowed his daughter Amal, one of 17 children, to travel to Afghanistan to marry bin Laden when she was 18 years old and he was in his early 40s.

    “My daughter was Osama bin Laden’s wife, nothing more, and she had no relation to the al-Qaida organization. I am confident of her innocence,” he told Reuters in an interview in his modest one-storey home in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, adding that he would like to see her returned home from Pakistan.

    “We are not in favour of bin Laden’s actions and the al-Qaida organization. We believe in coexistence between people.” Yemen, bin Laden’s ancestral homeland, is home to an active regional arm of al-Qaida that claimed responsibility for a foiled 2009 attempt to blow up a U.S.-bound plane. It was also blamed for bombs found in cargo en route to the U.S. in 2010. Militants bombed the U.S. Navy warship Cole in the port of Aden in 2000. Two years later an al-Qaida attack damaged the French supertanker Limburg in the Gulf of Aden.

    Many of those who trained in al-Qaida’s camps in Afghanistan before the Sept. 11 attacks came from Yemen.

    Saada said his daughter came into contact with bin Laden’s circle as a teenager attending an Islamic religious school where she was a student of the wife of Rashad Mohammed Saeed, whom he described as an aide to the militant leader. He said he did not receive any money from Saudi-born bin Laden for the marriage.

    DAUGHTER CHOSEN BY TEACHER

    “Rashad asked his wife to nominate a girl to marry bin Laden because he wanted a Yemeni wife. The teacher selected my daughter,” he said, adding that the man initially told him a Pakistani businessman wanted his daughter’s hand.

    “I refused at first and insisted on knowing who this person was. After that they said that he was Osama bin Laden, from a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia,” he added. He later relented because his daughter backed the idea: “She stuck to her view and told me she wanted to marry him, and I have not imposed a husband on any of my daughters. So I agreed.”

    Saada said he had never met bin Laden in person and that his daughter travelled to Afghanistan for the wedding ceremony accompanied by her sister and brother-in-law, who had fought there, and her teacher. He said her travel companions stayed on for a month to make sure she was settling in well. After the Sept. 11 attacks, he lost all contact with his daughter, now 29, last speaking to her after the birth of her first child, a girl named Safia.

    “We did not know until now where she was or how she was living or how many children she had,” he said. “We had been planning for her mother and one of her brothers to visit her but the September events thwarted this plan.”

    U.S. authorities in Pakistan have interviewed three of bin Laden’s widows, including Amal and two Saudi wives, but gathered little new information from them, U.S. officials said.

    Amal was reported to have earlier told Pakistani interrogators the family had lived for five years in the compound where bin Laden was killed by U.S. special forces.

    “We are not worried about the Americans interrogating her because she is just the wife of Osama bin Laden, and she and her children have no link to what he did. But I strongly reject handing to the American side this Yemeni citizen. She needs to return to her country.”

    Saada said his family had met the Yemeni foreign minister, who promised to help try to get his daughter and her children repatriated. Pakistan has said it will repatriate bin Laden’s widows and their children. “When I go to the mosque at prayer time, I call on God to return her to us,” Saada said. “I hope they are given the chance to return to Yemen to begin a new life far from violence and being pursued.”

    Why aren't they releasing images? this is such a joke. maybe next year when the election comes to prove to the conspiracy theorists. His death is already charging up some of the jihadists so why not just release it anyway. fucking sham game!

    Strange it might sound, Osama bin Landen is a victim himself and for pure humanistic reasons, I do not approve of killing him. Like Saddam, Osama should have been brought to justice, fairly tried in a court of law and when found guilty, punished accordingly. Capital punishment, in my view, is wrong. Period

    If he was not armed when the compound was raided, he didn't pose a threat to anyone, and it is hardly reasonable for anyone to say it is a moral propriety to kill an unarmed thug whilst it was possible to treat him according to western progressive standards, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    He was and is a victim in that he believed in the virgins after having had a taste with an 18 years old one, Amel. If his death was a cause of jubilation and wild street partying, then it would be short lived.

    The rotten ideology this man promulgated for 28 years and materialized it militarily, when the rest of mainstream scholars appear to the hoi polloi in Middle East as co-conspirators and continuum to the Islamo-political miserable status quo, still exists.

    Please please please do NOT watch the video below if you suffer from heart problems or with children. This Taliban man (who enters a bank and kills his brothers and sisters in cold blood, even women in the full hijab and old men) does not suffer from mental illnesses. He simply suffers from being subscribed to an evil and wicked ideology, political Islam. He dehumanised them first, as he said when caught, by believing they were kufar and then treated them as subhuman thereafter. Does it ring any bell with what happened in Germany?

    The political Islam will always thrive because it is an integral part of sharia. It is for the claim of implementing political Islam that Islamic theocracies survive ― separating the deen from the law and saying don’t chop hands, don’t stone adulators would conclusively and effectively mean do not follow the verdict of Allah, ergo your Islam/belief gets swiftly questioned, something of a McCarthyist nature.

    Those who seek to pacify sharia perennially hear fatwas telling them they are no longer Muslims and readily receive apostasy ruling i.e. their matrimonial contracts are no longer valid and their kill/hunt is not halal and they cannot receive inheritance from their parents, their testimony in law courts is less relied upon, they lose custody of their children etc. Not to forget the capital punishment for a crime of thought which awaits them after the three days of final ultimatum – who wouldn’t go back to Islam when their life is at stake? And Muslims sardonically claim there's no compulsion in Islam!!

    Modern civilisation in its material manifestation and pro this life, as opposed to the nihilist nonsense called 'hereafter', laws CANNOT co-exist with the badly managed and revivalistic whims of political Islamists. Depending on the level of education, you would be surprised by the vastness of romanticist Muslims, pro the implementation of sharia in the Muslim World.

    In my opinion, it explains why Western self-interested and expedient political leaders support the until-recently standing quasi-democratic countries in the Middle East; it is perchance the fear of the socially popular notion of bringing back political Islam amongst the populace, since the Pan-Arabism failed in 1960s onwards and which left a social black hole and a sense of national failure (or rather Umaah failure) akin to that of British National delusionists who cannot get over the fact that Britannia no longer rules the waves.
