    Apparently, in Islam a picture of The Prophet is much worse that the deaths of women and children. Can't you just feel the peace and love?

      Come on out in the light Osama. It's easy to be brave in hiding, come on out and make your threats.

        THE VIDEO IS A FAKE

        Why are we falling for this... ?

        Because America needs its Boogyman back.

      And yet the fact also remains that this man is still alive?

      Surely after causing 9/11 you would have thought that something would have been done by now?

      And as to the article, I think that anyone who can not take a joke is more than a bit off, but they probably think similar thoughts about me.

        Don't worry hannibal. You're on target.Just look at all the peace and love that goes on here on propeller even if you come within a tiny hair of offending anyone.Most folks know I'm respectful but have been backing off lately because of my getting tired of feeling I have to guard every word I say.

        Of course I want to see Bin Laden caught and you know what. Even without seeing the actual cartoons, this just shows his hatred of probably everything.

        There's lots of things people say about my beliefs or whatever and I don't threaten them that way.Of course I gotta add in there once again I don't condemn a crowd for his hatred.

          Maybe Osama being dead isn't necessarily the best thing. I enjoy thinking about him stuck and isolated in a cave somewhere in the Hindu Kush and the only thing he can do is send us threating videos. I'll bet he's chewing on rocks and cursing. Osama is feeling pretty impotent about now.

            I sort of agree with you about him maybe being in his own prison and impotent. But I also believe that we need to catch him or kill him. 3,000 innocent souls cry out for retribution.

              Yes. Because it's Muslims in general responsible for the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent deaths of hundreds of thousands in order to bring about the Kingdom of God.

            Osama being alive is worse for him than being dead because now he's just a face on a video tape with no real power. He can't reallly be in control being so hunted and isolated. If he were dead he would become a martyr and be important forever to the cause of the jihadists.

              Muslims hate dogs so he's probably issued a fatwa against Marmaduke too.

              Another pathetic whimper from the cave-dwelling terrorist...

              If his religion is that feeble that it cannot take a little bit of satire/humour/insult, might I respectfully suggest he change it ? Say, Jedi Warrior, Druid or something where they don't actually CARE what people say about their religion ???

              What a sad insignificant little man (I use the word "man" in it's basest form)........

                The REAL cartoon here is the greasy, grizzle-bearded doofus with the maturity of a six-year-old, hiding out in a cave, bedecked in dirty bed sheets and Queen Elizabeth's hat, babbling on to anyone who will listen about his plans to take over the world.

                HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

                      I was half cocked to put it mildly, the photo was taken in 1992 and proves the Osama/Saddam connection.

                                This is interesting

                                In 1999, Islamic art expert Wijdan Ali wrote a scholarly overview of the Muslim tradition of depicting Mohammed.

                                Ali demonstrates that the prohibition against depicting Mohammed did not arise until as late as the 16th or 17th century, despite the media's recent false claims that it has always been forbidden for Muslims to draw Mohammed. Until comparatively recently in Islamic history, it was perfectly common to show Mohammed, either in full (as revealed on this page), or with his face hidden (as shown on the next page). Even after the 17th century, up to modern times, Islamic depictions of Mohammed (especially in Shi'ite areas) continued to be produced.

                                    If you go to around 10:37 of this debate this lady makes some really good points. She has a lot of courage. Hopefully she will not be targeted for speaking the truth.

                                    It is always a treat to see George Bush's dear friend Osama bin laden back in the news. The long and sorted relationship between the Bush and Bin Laden clans has come to define

                                    the world situation in which we now all find ourselves. Their coordinated efforts in creating 9-11 and it's aftermath is truely genius. Their continuous hate speech and divisiveness, their propensity for grand standing "Bring it on" and their ability to sway weak minds is only out shined by their greatest gift - War profiteering.

                                      and u think u can judge all religious values in Islam based on one single worshipper's talk? what a BRILLIANT thought.

                                      insulting a religion's prophet is one thing, OBL's extreme action is another. both are wrong, why trying to compare both?

                                        OBL is probably the most famous Muslim on the planet with tens, if not hundreds of millions of Muslims who approve of his actions. He claims that it is worse to show a picture of the Prophet than the deaths of Muslim women and children.

                                        Since Islam doesn't have a Pope and so called moderate Muslims are not very vocal (in large part probably because of fear)or influential, I feel that it's fair to make judgements based the level of power and influence that OBL and his ilk command in Islam.

                                        When I see thousands of Muslims in the streets protesting his "hijacking" of Islam, I'll take the moniker Religion of Peace more seriously.

                                        So they can't find the close personal friend of the Bushes.

                                        The CIA has agents and contacts all over the world, and routinely destabilizes or murders fledgling Democracies for the oil companies and banks, but "CAN'T FIND BIN LADEN."

                                        The NSA makes a record of EVERY PHONE CALL YOU MAKE IN THE UNITED STATES and is the largest "intelligence" secret organization on Planet Earth, but they "CAN'T FIND BIN LADEN."

                                        George HW Bush arranged for helicopters to fly 100 BIN LADEN family members out of the country the evening of 911 EVEN THOUGH NO OTHER AMERICAN WAS ALLOWED IN THE AIR during the TOTAL grounding order. But Poppy Bush "CAN'T FIND BIN LADEN."

                                        If you foolish neocons weren't so full of hate and done so much damage to America and our Constitution and our American Way of Life, I would feel pity for you.

                                        As it stands all I have is contempt.
