Mr and Mrs Bin Laden: Rockers in Rome Hoping for Peace and a Meeting with the Pope
Daily Mail ^ | February 5, 2008

Posted on 02/05/2008 4:42:56 PM PST by Cecily

Wearing matching leather jackets and jeans, and with dark hair flowing over their shoulders, they stroll hand-in-hand through Rome.

No, not a couple of ageing rockers. This is Osama bin Laden's son and his British wife on their self-proclaimed mission to promote world peace.

Omar bin Laden, who at 27 is barely half the age of six-times-married Cheshire grandmother Jane Felix-Browne, looked ill at ease as they took in the tourist sights. After having their photograph taken at the Colosseum and shopping at designer boutiques, the unlikely couple were interviewed on Italian television about their role as "peace ambassadors".

Omar, who claims to have had no contact with his infamous father since before the September 11 attacks, believes the Al Qaeda chief is still alive.

"I do not believe my father is dead, otherwise I would have known it - the world would have known it," he said.

No, not nutty at all.

I believe Omar bin Laden is quite intelligent — just like his father.

You will not see the Pope. Cut your hair and shave your face. What’s the last Pope that had a beard? I don’t know, but I bet it was long ago.

He knows exactly where his father is at. Time to get the old waterboard out.

Omar is talking and doing. He won’t find any of the fundy islamics listening to him, which is unfortunate. Maybe he could sponsor a reverse Khomeini who would resonate with the fundy islamics.

He definitely looks like a guy that should be playing death metal.

Dude looks like everything his father is fighting against. His woman doesn’t look like she’s wearing a burka. Omar seems to be fairly secularist (and in leather, too).

If Kim Jong il’s second son (who has a hormone deficiency by the way) can hopscotch around Europe with his total babe of a (N.) Korean girlfriend, going to Eric Clapton concerts, I guess Bin Ladin’s flesh and blood can do much of the same.

LOL, OBL’s little boy looks like a very old Goth teen in his parental rebellion strong phase.

That pic is a keeper.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Omar Bin Laden, 26, who admits attending terror training with the Al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan, has been interviewed with his wife Jane Felix-Browne, 52, by British Embassy officials in Cairo, where he is currently living.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A UK marriage visa would give Omar, the fourth son of the architect of the 9/11 Twin Towers outrage, “leave to remain in the UK” with no time limit on his stay.

Initially, visas for spouse immigration are for two years, after which a person can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, which would make Omar eligible for a UK passport.”

What do you want to bet that as soon as Omar’s UK visa is secure, Jane Felix-Browne Bin Laden will be history? I hope she’s not footing his bills.

I thought this was a humor thread, but it’s the real thing. Still, with the way this year is shaping up, some light, humorous reading is very much in order.

I have no opinion on their personal life.

Just watching the internet.

But the guy's 27 years old. It's 10 years too late for this....unless Gene Simmon's is his real father. LOL!

What is he doing to denounce the acts of his father and the followers of his father and getting this word to muslim nations?

Meeting with the Pope won’t bring the “world peace” that he claims to be steward of.
