Something I hadn’t heard about the recent Bin Laden rant, is that he wants the Danish cartoonists who drew Mohammad extradited…to al Qaeda.  For a fair trial of course…

Al Qaeda’s leader focused much of his almost 52-minute message on what he continually referred to as "a Zionist-crusader war on Islam," which he said was shown most explicitly by the Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

Muslims consider it sacrilegious to produce a likeness of Mohammad, and the cartoons sparked violent protests throughout the Muslim world.

He said the cartoon controversy was "too serious for an apology" and was the most serious aspect of the alleged war against Islam.

Now, in a babbling rant that touched on "…what he called the slaughter of Muslims in places such as Palestine, Bosnia, Kashmir and Chechnya", you’d think he’d rank that slaughter at least a tad higher then twelve cartoons of Mohammed.  But…no.  In the screaming mental chaos of the religious fanatic, bloodshed isn’t nearly as offensive as defiance.

He called for the extradition of those responsible for drawing and publishing the cartoons to be tried by al Qaeda, just as he said the United States and United Nations had demanded he be turned over after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

"We demand that their governments hand them over to us to be judged by the law of Allah," he said.

"This request is from the category of treating in kind, and we say to you, if you have not forgotten, let us remind you that when you announced Osama bin Laden was accused of striking at American interests, you issued a [U.N.] Security Council resolution which was passed unanimously declaring the extradition of Osama was mandatory despite no evidence being provided," bin Laden said.

Al Qaeda has previously claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks.

In kind.  In kind.  He really thinks that drawing cartoons of Mohammed is worse then killing Muslims.  Perhaps he’d like a few more then.  I’d certainly rather draw cartoons then kill anyone.

Damn…I’m going to be so happy when we finally have a president who wants to go after that bastard.
