From: Amos

A review by Danielle Crittenden of a book by Carmen bin Laden which raises a dark picture and a little hopeful light about the stern culture propogated by Osama and his ilk.

Bin Laden is a hero.

A hero to whom ? May I ask you which planet you come from ?

Bin Laden is a 'hero' to the sort of people who bomb Christian churches in Iraq. May God have mercy on their souls.

That's a very interesting link, Amos...just goes to show what sort of people our so-called "Allies" are....

Thanks for that link, Amos. Interesting read. I think I'll get her book.

The bin Laden whom GUEST TTCM decribes as a "hero" has to have been author Carmen -- NOT Osama. Carmen is offering some stern and thoughtful criticism of Osama.

PoppaGator:

Your faith in TTMC's character is touching, but I think misplaced.

Hmmm ... don't throw stuff -- I think Osama is a twat -- but he is a hero to many.

Based on TTCM's comments on the "Delete Racist Comments" thread, I'd have to agree with Amos. TTCM seems about as pleasant as Martin Gibberish -- Tom

Alright, let's spell it out then:

Carmen bin Ladin is a heroine for writing that book. Her divorce isn't final, and she and her children are by no means safe from the reach of those medieval-patricharchal barbarians. It takes some courage to say what she did, and we can only hope that other Muslim wife/slaves will be inspired to rebel.

Osama bin Laden, OTOH, is still an ashole.

Cheers,
Michael
