Carmen bin Laden, who is now divorced from Usama bin Laden's (search) older brother, is scared to the point of shaking, but she is daring to reveal what it's like inside the bin Laden family. I'm set to interview her Wednesday — I'm racing through her book right now, called "Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
• That the bin Laden brothers totally support each other financially and socially (which I take to mean that he's getting help on the lam from his family).
• That Usama refused to look at her, because she dared to refuse to wear a veil and showed her face.
• That the bin Laden family respects and admires Usama for his dedication to the Koran and his piety (EXCUSE ME?!)
• That she was effectively a prisoner in Saudi Arabia, where the Wahhabist custom confines women to their homes; listening to music or reading a book other than the Koran is branded a sin.
Carmen fled Saudi Arabia, and now she says the bin Ladens want to shut her up. She says she has written this book to explain to her daughters why she took such desperate steps.
What would you like to say to Carmen? What questions do you want to ask her? Send them to me at: dayside@foxnews.com and I'll read as many of them as possible on the air Wednesday.
See you then,
Linda

Wow, what a surprise.
His Saudi family supports him, stop the presses.
She didn't take her daughters with her?
Pinging for tomorrow's big news story tonight!
No, I'm pretty sure her daughters live with her in Geneva Switzerland. She has been seperated with a divorce pending for years. The girl's father lives near by but apparently doesn't see them. Her book was released some time ago in various other languages but this is the english language release.
What I want to know,is why should we believe this woman.She's going through a messy,long,drawn out divorce ( they've been at this for 14 years)and maybe this is part of a revenge kick or lighting a fire under her wished to be ex-husband. Okay,call me a cynic. :-)
Thanks for the ping.
Poor Carmen, this is one time when your in-laws are out-laws.
Thanks for the info .. I didn't know about her book
I'm glad she is doing a segment with Linda Vester, it should be interesting. I think she is scheduled to do one with Dan Rather, also.
Other family members repudiate him. I'm not ready at this point to take her word for how everybody in clan bin Laden thinks or behaves.
re post no. 1...
I didn't see anything new or newsworthy.
I only have one question:
Where is UBL and/or when/where did he die?
lol!
Does he suffer from kidney failure? Has she been threatened? How has she avoided harm? Has she been contacted by any government authorities to either move or assist them in some manner?
Would you like me to email those to Linda? I would be more than happy to do it since you have better questions than I do.
" His Saudi family supports him (Osama)."
I realized it when Osama's inbred brother, the financial banker who was interviewed by Matt Lauer got very uppity and sneered at Lauers prying with, "keep going, we can keep going in circles" ie., the little rat b*sturd all but admitted his allegence(sp?) to helping Osama and "their warped cause". The Bin Ladens should be banished from earth. They are just a fraction of Arabs who want to turn the world into a misogynys muslim curdled up baron waste land. A curse on their family and future Bin Laden parasites. They share one biological father and twentysomething mothers. Talk about polygamy inbred primates.
I emailed a number of questions to her; but be my guest. Perhaps you will have better luck getting through. I would be most interested in finding out what all she knows about Osama. I won't be able to catch the show. Could you post if there are any responses? Thank you.
Sure. I'll try to catch her show tomorrow.
