I haven't read the full transcript from Obama's I mean Osama's latest speech, but according to this article he says this:
"It will also achieve your desire to stop the war as a consequence, because as soon as the warmongering owners of the major corporations realize that you have lost confidence in your democratic system and have begun to look for an alternative, and this alternative is Islam, they will run after you to please you and achieve what you want to steer you away from Islam."
So he's saying that Islam is an alternative to Democracy? I guess the deeper meaning would be that Islamic Law (Sharia) is an alternative form of government to Democracy. Tell you what Osama, I'll keep Democracy. How about you come out of your hiding place and become a maryr? No better way to die right?
One thing I find interesting about the terrorist networks, including Al-Qaeda is that they hate the West and everything we stand for, yet they use western technology to communicate those views and to plan and execute terrorist attacks. Isn't that ironic? I say if they want to be true muslims and carry out attacks against us they should do it with the same technology they had back in the 7th and 8th centuries. Otherwise I view them as hypocrites.
