In a twist of irony,the son of the (in)famous Osama Bin Laden, has surfaced and is making the headlines.Who would have thought that the son of the man claimed by the U.S to be the main sponsor behind world terrorism,turn out to be someone who is campaigning for peace and understanding.
Although he was for sometime in the trenches with his father until they fell out just before the 9/11 attack,it is his recent marriage to a 51 years old British woman,Jane Felix Browne,that gave him media coverage.
Together with his wife,Zeina(aka Jane),they hope to embark on a horse race tournament across north Africa with the aim of raising money for peace and war orphans.
I think George Bush and his old friend,Osama Bin Laden,could learn a lesson or two from this dreadlocked peace maker,and may Allah bless the peace makers,Ameen.

fascinating. talk about a generational conflict!
Hi Jinni,
I thought you'd be interested in this:
Just a quick note. There is a group of young people on Facebook who had the idea, last night, of starting a website with the names and comments of people who can't vote in this election (whether because they are not American or are too young) who would vote for Obama if they could. They haven't gotten the website up yet, but in the meantime are requesting people to send their name, age, location, reason why they can't vote, and any comments on why they support Obama to this gmail address: voteforthosewhocant @ gmail . com (I separated this out so that it's harder for spammers to find). Here is what one of the brainstormer/organizers wrote me, when I queried how people could participate:
We just got this started last night, so as of right now, we are simply asking people to send their info (name, age, location - reason they can't vote and reasons they support Obama) to the gmail address! We're already combining efforts to get a website started so we can show the collective global support for Obama!If you'd like to participate, you can also send your ideas to the same gmail address: voteforthosewhocant @ gmail . com. Thanks!!!
wow
