Bin ladin nyuruh orang amerika masuk islam?
Yang bener aje.
Orang amerika adalah orang yang normal.
Orang normal tahu kalo islam itu dengan kebiadaban dan
ketololan.
Agama yang nggak masuk akal ini hanya diikuti oleh
orang yang mau menanyakan bukti apakah ajaran geblek
ini betul dari tuhan atau tidak.
Hanya orang tolol yang mau menganut agama setan ini.
Dasar sinting!

Bin Laden urges Americans to convert
By LEE KEATH, Associated Press Writer
CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden appeared for the first
time in three years in a video Friday released ahead
of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks,
telling Americans they should convert to Islam if they
want the war in Iraq to end.
American officials said the U.S. government had
obtained a copy even though the video had not been
posted yet by al-Qaida and intelligence agencies
were studying the video to determine whether it was
authentic and looking for clues about bin Laden's
health.
The 30-minute video was obtained by the SITE
Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors
terrorist messages, and provided to the Associated
Press.
The footage gives a rare look at the al-Qaida leader,
who has likely avoided appearing in videos as a
security measure. His emergence comes at a time when
terrorism experts believe his terror network is
regrouping in the lawless Pakistan-Afghanistan border
region and it underlines the U.S. failure to catch
him.
In the video, a short excerpt of which was broadcast
to the Arab world by Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden
wears a white robe, a white circular cap and a beige
cloak seated behind a table while reading an address
to the American people from papers in front of him.
His trimmed beard is shorter than in his last video,
in 2004, and is fully black apparently dyed, since
in past videos it was mostly gray. He speaks softly,
as he usually does, and has dark bags under his eyes,
but his appearance dispelled rumors that he had died.
U.S. President George W. Bush made the rare move of
speaking about an al-Qaida video. The tape is "a
reminder about the dangerous world in which we live,
he told reporters on the sidelines of a summit of
Pacific Rim nations in Sydney, Australia.
"It's important that we show resolve and determination
to protect ourselves, deny al-Qaida safe haven and
support young democracies," Bush said.
In the video, Bin Laden makes no overt threats and
does not directly call for attacks.
Instead, he addresses Americans, lecturing them on the
failures of their leaders to stop the war in Iraq
despite growing public opposition in the U.S.
He says there were two solutions to stopping the Iraq
war. "One is from our side, and it is to escalate the
fighting and killing against you. This is our duty,
and our brothers are carrying it out," bin Laden said.
"The second solution is from your side. ... I invite
you to embrace Islam," he said.
One result of that, bin Laden said, would be an end to
the Iraq war. He said "warmongering owners of the
major corporations" would rush to appease voters who
showed they are looking for an alternative, "and this
alternative is Islam."
He derided Bush, saying events in Iraq have gotten
"out of control" and the American leader "is like the
one who plows and sows the sea: He harvests nothing
but failure."
Bin Laden frequently criticized capitalism, calling
its leaders the real terrorists and threats to human
freedom.
"This is why I tell you: as you liberated yourselves
before from the slavery of monks, kings and feudalism,
you should liberate yourselves from the deception,
shackles and attrition of the capitalist system," he
said.
Bin Laden's attacks in the video on capitalism,
multinational corporations and globalization led
several current and former government officials to
believe an American 28-year-old Adam Gadahn may
have written at least part of the speech.
Gadahn, who has been charged with treason and
supporting terrorism for serving as an al-Qaida
propagandist, has appeared in several past
al-Qaida-produced videos, lecturing against capitalism
and globalization and making insider references to
American culture.
"It has Adam Gadahn written all over it," one former
senior intelligence official said of bin Laden's tape,
speaking on condition of anonymity because of the
sensitivity of the issue.
The video appeared to have been recently made. At one
point, bin Laden mentions that "several days ago"
Japan marked the 62nd anniversary of the Aug. 6, 1945,
atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima. He also refers to the
Democratic Party's congressional victory in last
fall's election and to French President Nicolas
Sarkozy, who was elected in May.
He also shows a grasp of current events, dropping
mentions of global warming and saying Americans are
"reeling under the burdens" of a mortgage crisis.
And he praises author Noam Chomsky, an early critic of
the Iraq war, as well as Michael Scheuer, former head
of the CIA's bin Laden unit, who has said poor U.S.
leadership was losing the war against terrorist
groups.
Bin Laden "knows Bush has low approval ratings, knows
the significance of a growing awareness of global
warming," said Thomas Sanderson, deputy director of
the Transnational Threats Project at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies. "He's trying to
capitalize on what he sees as a shift back to the
middle in American politics."
Al-Qaida annually uses the anniversary of the Sept. 11
suicide attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon as a propaganda opportunity, issuing
videotapes to rally supporters and mock the United
States.
But the appearance of bin Laden this year makes a
bigger splash. The al-Qaida leader had not appeared in
new video footage since October 2004, and he had not
put out an audiotape in more than a year, his longest
period without a message.
His deputy, Egyptian-born Ayman al-Zawahri, has issued
numerous videos and audiotapes in the meantime as
al-Qaida has increased the sophistication and speed of
its media operations.
Seth Jones, a terrorism expert at the RAND think tank,
said that while the anniversary gives the pretext for
the tape, it also comes at a time when the main
al-Qaida leadership has managed to regroup.
"There clearly has been a resurgence of core al-Qaida
in the tribal areas of Pakistan" along the frontier
with Afghanistan since 2005, Jones said.
He said sympathy in that region for the Taliban has
made it more receptive to militant Sunni groups,
including al-Qaida. "It's really created a sanctuary,"
Jones said.
Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute, said she
believes "strongly that al-Qaida has regrouped" but
that its core bases are more scattered than
previously, comprising several training camps in
Pakistan and Afghanistan. She said it was likely bin
Laden is hidden in a more secure location, away from
any of those sites.
During the video, bin Laden's image moves for only a
total of about 3 1/2 minutes in two segments, staying
frozen the rest of the time while his remarks
continue.
A former senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity, said it might have resulted
from a technical glitch while al-Qaida passed the
video through a variety of computer sites to mask its
cyber trail.
The United States intercepted the video before it was
released on Islamic Web sites where al-Qaida usually
posts its messages, a U.S. counterterrorism official
said in Washington. U.S. officials had analyzed the
video for hours before transcripts and videos were
leaked, the official said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The official said analysts were studying bin Laden's
physical characteristics for clues about his health
after unconfirmed rumors earlier this year that he had
died of kidney disease.
Soon after word emerged that the United States had the
video, Islamic militant Web sites that usually carry
statements from al-Qaida went down and were
inaccessible.
Hours later, the sites were back up, but by late
Friday, the video still had not been released on the
militant Web sites.
The reason for the shutdown was not immediately known.
Evan H. Kohlmann, a terrorism expert at
globalterroralert.com, said he suspected it was the
work of al-Qaida itself, trying to find how the video
leaked to U.S. officials.
