Osama Bin Laden’s Son Omar Speaks On His Father’s Killing
Have you ever tried to distance yourself from the actions of your parents? When I was younger my mother used to (actually, who am I kidding—she does it to this day) exhibit major road rage and get into fights with other drivers often, with me in the passenger side sinking lower and lower into my seat as she got louder and louder. That example shrinks in comparison to what Omar bin Laden has gone through during his life.
Omar, 30, was a vocal critic of his father Osama‘s deadly actions against the West, denouncing the entire mission and structure of al-Qaeda. But as with every child (Omar is Osama’s fourth son) his familial instincts have kicked in and he’s stepping up as the main bin Laden representative, the sole name signed on a new statement from the family released to the New York Times following Osama’s death.
In the statement, Omar questions whether his father was even killed as he has seen no proof (“We are not convinced on the available evidence in the absence of dead body, photographs, and video evidence that our natural father is dead” and “if OBL has been killed in that operation as President of United States has claimed, then we are just in questioning as per media reports that why an unarmed man was not arrested and tried in a court of law so that truth is revealed to the people of the world.”)
He goes on to show his disdain for the reported “burial at sea” (“His sudden and unwitnessed burial at sea has deprived the family of performing religious rights of a Muslim man”) and takes the U.S. and Pakistani governments to task for keeping members of his family in custody after the raid (“We wish the Government of Pakistan to release and hand over all minors of the family and all the family members are reunited at one place and are repatriated to their country of origin, especially female members of the family to avoid further oppression and we seek international support to that effect.”)
And just in case people forget Omar wasn’t always so quick to rush to his father’s defense, a paragraph written from the family’s viewpoint sums it up:
“We want to remind the world that Omar Ossam Binladin, the fourth-born son of our father, always disagreed with our father regarding any violence and always sent messages to our father, that he must change his ways and that no civilians should be attacked under any circumstances. Despite the difficulty of publicly disagreeing with our father, he never hesitated to condemn any violent attacks made by anyone, and expressed sorrow for the victims of any and all attacks. As he condemned our father, we now condemn the president of the United States for ordering the execution of unarmed men and women.”
If the statement is met with no response, the family says it will take their case to “international forums for justice” such as the International Criminal Court.
regarding their humiliation, he obviously has mistaken us for someone who gives a crap…..

Omar, you should be ASHAMED of your father and glad he is dead. You should be ASHAMED to show you face. You should shit your stupid mouth, and spend all of your life in services to the families of 911 victims, and all the other innocent and good people your father and his followers murdered horrifically without any concern for human life form the East African embassies to every atrocity committed by your father and his followers in the name of God. Better yet, please take a gun, point it in your mouth and pull the trigger. We will treat your lifeless body with the dignity it deserves.
sad but true that Omar is right….Americans violated at least 1, and maybe 2 international laws….are we U.S. citizens becoming the same kind of garbage our country leaders are ?????
On the other hand I believe Omar is right…… we violated international laws even tho we expect everyone else to abide by them. Someone make a voodoo doll of me and send me to my death before the year is out please.
If Omar wants to know why his unarmed father was shot and killed and why his family is being detained, then he need only to google 9-11 and watch the video’s on youtube. We owe no one an explanation. The man (OBL) got what he deserved and I hope the US government comes out and says as much.

Take it to the international courts, who gives a royal fig!!! Osama is dead, he deserves to be dead! His victims deserve to be alive. OBL deserves nothing for he gave nothing. Evil is what evil does. What goes around comes around. OBL got his reward for his actions and may he rest never. May his soul (if he had one) be tortured into eternity!
Omar has done nothing wrong! His Father on the other hand should of been captured alive, he would of been worth a lot more alive than dead! All the Americans who are hating Omar should be ashamed of themselves! It is his FAther who was an evil person, not Omar! Omar I really wish the best for you and your wife who are planning on working together on world peace! You are a good person and it’s a shame that you are known as the son of a very very evil person! It must be tough on you!
Feel sorry to Omar..he must be having a tough life. It is not his mistake his father is Osama Bin Laden and who his father was. Omar himself have been thru so many things, he just want to live lefe like other people, even he is d son to Osama bin Laden.
america should be ashame. it makes no sense trying to fight terrorism and you are still breaching one constitutional rights,human right: right to life, right to freedom and right to be brought to justice.
