What Osama bin Laden Might Look Like in Disguise
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
Ever wonder what terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden might look like if he shaved his trademark beard and turned in his robes and camouflage for a western business suit? Well, apparently so did the intelligence analysts at the National Counterterrorism Center. In their popular annual desk calendar, just received at Whispers, a page about the al Qaeda leader features an altered photograph, showing a neatly trimmed bin Laden in a dark suit and tie, looking more like a used-car dealer than a guerrilla fighter.
Bin Laden has a $27 million bounty on his head and a distinctive visage that has become remarkably familiar over the past decade, but the Westernized Osama looks surprisingly different. Still, it's a face only his mother could kiss. And there are some things he won't be able to disguise. The NCTC's calendar points out that he remains unusually tall (somewhere between 6 foot 4 and 6 foot 6) and walks with a cane. The NCTC, which is the U.S. intelligence community’s primary analytical shop for terrorism, has not yet posted its 2009 calendar, but the 2008 version is on its website.

Islam is a Cancer
Anyone who says that Islam is not a violent religion are either drowsy idiots or haven't even read the Koran. Islam is a cancer.
REPLYING BOBBY TUCKER OF MA
#*"How [to] quench hatred? ...drink lots....lots of Hater-Ade? Muslims are not intrinsically violent,..."---
Mercifully, this hatred can be quenched, Bobby, by the transcendentally beautiful Quranic Prayer of Prophet Suleiman (who is called King Solomon in the Bible): "Inspire me, Lord, to be thankful to Thee for Thy favours to me & my parents to do good deeds which will please Thee. Admit me, through Thy mercy, to be among Thy righteous." An-Naml 27:19. "For the noblest in Allah's [God's] sight is he who is the most righteous." Al-Hujurut 49:13. So, Bobby, are you not going to quench your hatred towards me by joining me to say & believe in this Quranic prayer?
#"... you managed to spell Al-Maidah incorrectly......as you continue......this incomprehensible diatribe."---
Bobby, you don't read enough Islamic books. Different Muslim scholars use different spelling for Al-Maida. It is okay with me if you prefer "Al-Maidah". But Islamic expert elsewhere, like Mr Shaik Kadir of Singapore, prefers "al-Maida". So you don't have to advertise to the whole world your pettiness & silliness. It is already so obvious!
#You cited me & then asked: " 'so the Quranic command to kill infidels (re At-Tauba 9:5, etc) will always be valid, as it was long before the beginning of time & the creation of the first atom in the Universe.' How could it possibly be vaild before the beginning of time & the universe? Did dinosaurs read the Quran as well?"---
Well, the stupidity which you wanted to point out---that you have to direct to the Muslims why they adhere to such pernicious doctrine? Not only their Uncreated Quran ( like God); it was also in Arabic long before the creation of the Universe.
#"I will not say anything about the second paragraph/sentence because it is completely incoherent an nonsensical. Cosmic conspiracy?"----
Well, I only believe and cherish the good teachings of the Quran, not its bad & wrong teachings. So what is wrong with that, Bobby? Or are you contemplating marrying a Muslim woman soon, so you felt compelled to prove your loyalty with your stupid ranting?
#"....most Iraqis are at a much higher risk of death now than they were under Saddam's regime. Really, it's just all downhill from here."---
Obviously you don't keep pace and get updated on what have been happening in Iraq. Why do you think the Iraqis have their Awakening to help the Americans, when prior to that, they were al-Qaeda's enthusiastic collaborators in their bloody mayhem? Thank God there are still many sensible Muslims around.
For all their help to al-Qaeda, Iraqi virgins were also taken by the al-Qaedans in forced marriages & their innocent children, women & men mass-slaughtered by those demonoids for Prophet Mohammed's false promise to the bloody jihadists of eternally-free sex with 72 or more paradise virgins; & poor innocent Iraqis were deliberately slaughtered in a manner far less dignified than non-Muslims kill their dirty, stinking pigs.
