Bin Laden urges Arab revolt in 'posthumous message'

By Ho | AFP News – Thu, 19 May, 2011

Al-Qaeda has released a message from slain leader Osama bin Laden praising the

revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia and urging Muslims to take advantage of a " rare

historic opportunity " to rise up, a US monitor says.

The message posted on jihadist forums on Wednesday by Al-Qaeda's media arm

As-Sahab addresses Muslims on the revolutions sweeping the Middle East and North

Africa, SITE Intelligence Group said.

Speaking from beyond the grave, bin Laden recommends setting up a council to

offer revolutionary advice and decide the best timing to spread revolt across

the Muslim world.

" A delay may cause the opportunity to be lost, and carrying it out before the

right time will increase the number of casualties, " bin Laden says, according to

SITE's translation of the 12-minute, 37-second audio message.

" I think that the winds of change will blow over the entire Muslim world, with

permission from Allah. "

He urged Muslim youth to " prepare what is needed " for spreading these

revolutions by " consulting the sincere experts who stay away from compromises

and the flattery of oppressors. "

SITE said an earlier statement by Al-Qaeda indicated that bin Laden made an

audio recording a week before he was killed by US commandos, addressing the

revolutions and offering advice and guidance.

Al-Qaeda, which has long advocated that violence is the only way to overthrow

regimes, has been caught off guard by the " Arab Spring " uprisings, which have

been triggered by popular concerns over inflation, unemployment and calls for

political reform rather than jihadist doctrines.

However, Western officials have warned that the group would try to exploit the

wave of unrest that has swept across North Africa and the Middle East.

In the message released on Wednesday, bin Laden referred to the revolutions in

Egypt and Tunisia, but made no mention of those in Libya, Syria or Yemen.

" There is a serious crossroads before you, and a great and rare historic

opportunity to rise with the Ummah (Muslim community) and to free yourselves

from servitude to the desires of the rulers, man-made law and Western

dominance, " he said in the recording, which was posted as a video with a

photograph of him.

" It is a great sin and immense ignorance to waste this opportunity that was

awaited by the Ummah for long decades. So, take advantage of it and destroy the

idols, and establish justice and faith. "

Bin Laden accused the region's rulers of setting themselves up like idols and

using the media and religious institutions to maintain their grip on power.

" So, what are you waiting for? Save yourselves and your children, because the

opportunity is here, " he said.

Bin Laden also warned against negotiations and compromise.

" So, to these free revolutionaries in all the countries: hold fast to your

initiative and beware of negotiations, because there is no middle road between

the people of truth and the people of falsehood. There is no way, " he said.

Bin Laden concluded his message by calling on his followers to finish the work

that has been started, saying victory will follow.

" The big oppression in our countries has reached great limits, and we have

waited too long to condemn it and change it, " he said.

" So, he who started should finish and Allah will grant him victory. "

A covert US Navy SEAL team killed bin Laden on May 2 at his Pakistan compound in

the garrison town of Abbottabad before burying him at sea.

If the Western intelligence services actually believe that, they are criminally incompetent. Al-Qaeda has been in Libya for some time during this "revolt" helping in the fighting but also looting Libyan military depots for weapons.

I really don't think that people should be so glad about this and how Obama is threatening Assada and seeking billions more dollars for the Middle East. I'm certain that all of this will backfire on us in the future. This might start in only a few months (September as the US tries to force a Palestinian State and partition of Jerusalem) to a few years as the new Caliphate gets itself established. Either way, there are people in the government who knew this was coming and even aided and abetted it and will have some serious explaining to do.

It will indeed backfire.

They will form a new oil cartell at the very least. But more importantly, they

will trade weapons technology and the whole middle east will be nuclear weapon

capabale.

Its possible that Iran could take control of OPEC this session. If that happens I think it is time to play serious hardball with other oil producers about pulling out of OPEC if they want to keep the US shield protecting them from Iran.

Also there is the matter of Iran building missile sites in Venezuela. Iran is seriously asked to be put back to the 7th century like its Imams want.
