Bin Laden: Muslims Must Lead Relief Effort to Burma


AIRO, Egypt (AP) - In an audio tape posted on the internet, Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden said that Muslims across the world "must take action" to help the estimated 2.4 million Burmese affected by the tragic cyclone and subsequent flooding in Myanmar which left 125,000 people dead.

"Although our holy Jihad against Jews and infidels (may their stomachs roast in hell) is important," said Bin Laden, "even more important is the human tragedy in Burma. The Western nations natter and dither while innocents die because the Great Satan is indifferent to the fate of non-Christians. As Muslims, however, we do not have the luxury of indifference. Allah is a God of mercy and compassion. As his followers, we are compelled to be the instruments of that compassion."

"Many Muslim nations," continued Bin Laden, "are awash in oil wealth. In the name of Allah the all-giving and all-loving, we are obligated to use that wealth to the benefit of Allah's neediest children, no matter where they are, and even though they do not share our beliefs. There is a time for the sword, but there is also a time for the hand of mercy and charity to lift up those in their hour of greatest desperation. The decadent West has failed, and it is up to the world's Muslims to lift up the lamp of Islamic generosity to give hope to those who are now hopeless."

Surprisingly, the terrorist leader and most wanted man in the world has vowed to risk his own life to personally bring aid to the decimated areas of Burma. "Although I am not a prophet with the greatness of Mohammed (peace be upon him), I am still a man," said Al Qaeda's #1, "and my fellow man is crying in sorrow. I, myself, will lead an aid mission into Burma as a visible missionary of succor to this devastated nation, though it may mean having to dodge sniper fire like other emissaries of peace have done before me."

"I can only hope," concluded Bin Laden, "that the rest of the world will follow the Muslim example, set aside their petty squabbles, and do the right thing to save innocent lives."

That is not true though.
I believe you get this info from imao.us correct? They're just blurbing.

so wrong to compare with Bin Ladin.
Bin Ladin wanted to take actions?
Actions Alright. He may convert all Buddhist to Muslims. Get Bin Ladin death or alive.
Anyway, Ko Htike, it is a bad taste to read on your great blog.

ko htike ,
I am sure you are not intentionally trying to bring another issue for our land, but why this cartoon attracts you to be posted?
We have had suffered so much than we should have...by political issue.


Religious issue can bring far worse consequences than anythingelse.

please dont you start.


Bin Ladin has his strong believe or unforgiveness to the westeners who have mistreated easteners and their lands in old days and now.

Must we forget these British torn apart our country's peacefulness and unity?


Must he forgive ?

the answer would be depended on who you are....



I am in the dark to judge ..


He may be right, otherwise.


For sure,none can ever be master of Bin Ladin.As a highly intelligent man, he knows what he exactly is doing!!
He is HERO to people who are believing in his believes.
I wouldn't like if someone compare my hero to a world well known bad leader of Burma in public.

That would be surprise if your cartoon does not offend them like the one happend in Europe recently.







best regards.
