DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has called for people who ridiculed the Prophet Mohammad to be killed, weighing into the furor that erupted after a Danish newspaper ran cartoons lampooning Islam's holy messenger.

"Heretics and atheists, who denigrate religion and transgress against God and His Prophet, will not stop their enmity toward Islam except by being killed," the Saudi-born militant said.

Bin Laden's remarks were part of an audio tape which Al Jazeera television aired excerpts from on Sunday. The television station later published a full transcript on its Web site.

The Doha-based satellite television channel had aired excerpts of the tape in which bin Laden accused the West of waging a "Crusader-Zionist" war against Islam, citing the isolation of the Hamas-led Palestinian government and the crisis in Sudan's Darfur region as examples.

3. Bernie Ward did a nice riff on this...

...said that because Osama likes hot climates with a lot of sand, Bush probably has him in a nice Las Vegas hotel suite, with a direct line to Karl Rove's office so they can contact him every time they need a new tape.

I have a suggestion for Osama vonSphincter: make a list of the people you think SHOULDN'T be killed. It will probably be a lot shorter than your "should be killed" list.

:grr:

4. He's a perfect example of why people become atheists....... to reject

dumb-assed fanaticism completely, and those who encourage it, like OBL himself.
