Nothing wrong with his pop’s conversion to Christianity. However, the name change (even considering that Gideon is recognized as an Israelite judge by Christians and Jews alike) seems rather unnecessary.

If he was sincere and not just another version of a left coast weirdo, why does he convert to Christianity AND make his living selling halal (Islamic Kosher) goat meat AND changing his name from the Jewish sounding Pearlman. His conversion has more to do with self hate than love of Christ.

I used to watch or DVR The Newshour on Friday night, but I stopped because I could no longer bear Mark Shield's condescending, supercilious, totally biased attitude. I did not always agree with David Brooks, but occasional gems like this is what kept me watching for so long after Paul Gigot moved on to bigger and better things.

2. Stroking aside, the real message was pretty explicit, convert or die.

Isn’t it true that according to the Koran, we have been given a choice to convert through this proclamation/message, and they are going to attack us for not heeding?

I don't know. I've seen freepers write that so it may be true.

I can’t tell if its an “echo” or an “eight hundred pound gorilla”! My brain is just NOT absorbing this.

Is it possible for someone from Daily Kos to electronically impersonate Osama? Could they really fool the FBI/CIA? Like I said, just toooo weird!

I know. Its just too incongruous, isn’t it? Some hot shot, big, bad terrorist is really no better than one of the hot headed, naive teenagers posting on HufPo or DU?

His new “message” is one of those overly dramatic, overly romanticized, maudlin, pieces of crap for which Arabs are famous—or is it infamous.

Jeez, how could someone raised like that possibly turn out “normal”?  That’s what it sounded like to me too. 

Immature is a great description.  It is also a throwback to all the drivel I used to hear when I was a “child of the sixties”.  It is certainly dated if nothing else!  If I remember my literature correctly, it is also Kahlil Gabran-esque idealism as well.

Wasn’t there the belief that this video was released early either on purpose or by mistake? Maybe the American traitor released it without permission. Maybe he even faked parts of the audio without permission. If we never hear from that traitor from California again or if he turns up dead, we will know he goofed and his masters were not pleased. And the message sounds like something an American communist converted to Islamofascism would write. And most of it sounds like what you can read any day on any leftist blog.

Try this one...they want Brooks fired from PBS now. LOL

Any time (rarely) a leftist says something thoughtful and different from the party line, the other leftists want the person fired or silenced. There is not even a hint of a discussion to see if what was said has some truth -- a heretic spoke and must be gotten rid of.

I believe the video was actually obtained and “released” early by US intelligence services, IIRC. That is, Adam the Fruitcake Traitor probably wanted to feel he was making a big splash by releasing it on 9/11, so it was released early to undermine him and make him and the possibly dead, possibly nearly dead OBL look even more ridiculous.

Don't tell me, the CIA or the FBI, made the video under the orders of Carl Rove, and Dick Chaney????
