The Guardian removed a 21-year-old letter from Osama Bin Laden after a TikToker urged followers to read the al Qaeda leader’s missive.
- We also advise you to stop supporting Israel, and to end your support of the Indians in Kashmir, the Russians against the Chechens and to also cease supporting the Manila Government against the Muslims in Southern Philippines.
Philippines mentioned 🇵🇭
(The Manila government and Bangsamoro Muslims have since negotiated a treaty that gives them more regional autonomy in an inspiring bid for peace)
That’s good to hear. Mindanao has been a mess for decades, so hopefully this helps peace come to the region.
I’m an American and have friends there that I don’t feel safe visiting. I’m sure I’m not alone. I have no issue with Muslims, and I’d love to visit their area if it was deemed safe.
this dude sounds like a real self-righteous asshole tbh
Very fascinating really, mostly religious mumbojumbo but he did make some points that are relevant till this day like
"The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes.
Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism."
That’s for a reason they say “even a stopped clock is right twice a day”. The fact that it was that broken clock and that his words can be perceived as still relevant after more than 20 years hints that the world has not progressed. Despite technology we’re still facing the same problems, plus some more (eg. climate).
from what I recall there was a fair amount of people saying that Bin Laden had some fair points, even at the time, but that the methodology was, of course , vile and reprehensible.
Saw this posted on Hexbear. Most of the clowns over there agree with him and the rest of them call him a Liberal.
That place is seriously fucked in the head.
