Yeah, About That Bin Laden Letter

 With the hype of Osama Bin Laden's 'Letter to America' BS this week, I sat and read the text (4 pages). First, you discover that most of the sites have removed the text...for varying reasons.  Second, when I did find it....it's a long wordy piece, and you have to devote at least 30 minutes to get the emphasis of the 'message'.

I did this because of the number of TikTok and YouTube videos where young pretender-intellectuals felt gut-pain over what they read and lost respect for western values.  So I figured....what exactly was written?

Four observations:

1.  Based on words and context....I give it a 95-percent chance that Osama Bin Laden himself did not write it.  English for him was a second language, and this would appear to either be a totally different 'creator' or having a serious amount of 'word-smithing' going on with a partner.

Yes, very similar to 'Mein Kampf' by Hitler.....which most people now believe that a second figure actually wrote the Hitler book.

2.  There's some blunt point in the text where the suggestion is made that non-Muslims need to respect Quran and Sharia Law....not only in Muslim countries, but in the non-Muslim countries.  

I suspect a lot of idiot young recent college graduates missed that commentary, and have no idea what the idea leads onto.    

3.  Where was the document  'hiding' for the past couple of years?  Well....the Brit newspaper...Guardian.....had the copy.  Just now bringing this up?  Oddly.....yes.

Timing to bring this up now?  Yeah, and that's the funny part of the story.

4.  The chief problem in the text?  Well....as much as you talk lifestyles in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on.....the moment you open up some door to exit out of the pro-Quran/Sharia Law lands.....folks seem lined up to leave. They leave because of various reasons, but they seem to want a non-Quaran/Sharia Law 'umbrella' for work and living conditions.  The letter doesn't mention that, but it's part of the whole story of reality.  

On the lack of understanding by western youth?  It's a constant thing now....almost daily....I'll note another stupid 'rant' by some 24-year-old college graduate....who seems to have missed half their college classes and unable to grasp reality in the world today.
