ABC Exclusive: Excerpts Of Bin Laden Video


bin laden.jpgQuotes from Bin Laden’s first videotape in three years: [Click HERE to view complete transcript.] “You made one of your greatest mistakes, in that you neither brought to account nor punished those who waged this war, not even the most violent of its murderers, [former Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld…”

“You permitted Bush to complete his first term, and stranger still, chose him for a second term, which gave him a clear mandate from you — with your full knowledge and consent — to continue to murder our people in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Then you claim to be innocent!  The innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th — were I to claim such a thing.”

“People of America:  the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped.  Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven’t made a move worth mentioning.  On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there.”

According to the transcript, bin Laden says there are two ways to end the war:

“The first is from our side, and it is to continue to escalate the killing and fighting against you.”

The second is to do away with the American democratic system of government.  “It has now become clear to you and the entire world the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve the interests of the major corporations.”

He also speaks to recent issues grabbing headlines in the United States, referring to “the reeling of many of you under the burden of interest-related debts, insane taxes and real estate mortgages; global warming and its woes…”

“To conclude,” bin Laden says, “I invite you to embrace Islam.”  He goes on to say:  “There are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling 2.5 percent.”

    The sad and dangerous thing, is that there are people who are not Moslem, and who even live in the US, who believe this drivel.

    Ein lanu al Mi lismoch, ela Avinu Shebashamayim..

  2. It’s coming—
    They are still trying to convert the world..
    They won’t stop…
    I heard from my Rabbi that the wars happen in the Shemita years and Mashiach comes at the end of Shemita.
    Next year is Shemita and we have no idea what this video is preceding. 9/11 was a Shemita year as well. We can only make Teshuva and change our ways immediately so that we can be safe this year.
    It may just be the year of Mashiach.
    Shana Tova

  3. kollelman, I thought moshiach can come at any moment. If the entire world were to do teshuva today , he will surly come. So please explain what your rabbi meant when he said moshiach will come during shemita.
