We are happy to present here the official English language statement from al-Qaida's al-Fajr Media Center, condemning "manipulations" of the latest audio statement from Osama bin Laden. In truth the only thing we want to hear from bin Laden is his dying breath. In fact, we'd like to be close enough to him to smell his last, fetid, breath, and be able to curse him roundly as his spirit departs on its one way trip to Hell. Be that as it may, we will give him and his minions space on this website in this instance.
Why?
Because this is funny.
Seems the poor bastards are having trouble understanding that they cannot control how their messages are delivered and interpreted. We feel your pain, honest we do...

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Clarification from Al-Fajr Media Centre
About Aljazeera’s manipulation of the speech of Sheikh Osama Bin Ladin, may Allah preserve him.
“Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset the matters for you. Until the truth (victory) came and the Decree of Allah became manifest though they hated it” [at-Taubah:48]
To the Ummah of Islam, and especially all supporters of the Mujahedeen.
We have seen how Aljazeera did manipulate the speech of our Sheikh Osama bin Ladin, may Allah preserve him, and how did they divert the message away from its designated point.
Instead of adhering to their journalistic code of conduct and impartiality, as they describe their motto of being the channel of the opinion and the other opinion, Aljazeera directors have shamefully chosen to back the crusaders’ side, and the defenders of hypocrites and the thugs and traitors of Iraq.
The speech was originally an advice given to the Muslims of Iraq in general and to the honest people of Jihad in particular. They were reminded to abide by the rules of Sharia in sorting out their differences; they were also advised to apply the ruling of Allah, and warned not to rely on the judgment of the so called scholars of the Arabian Peninsula. Those so called scholars who have pledged alliances to the its tyrant and altered the truth, spread hatred about the Mujahedeen and took part in the war against them. At the same time, they are in good terms with the apostates and their allies, issuing Fatwas to join the army and the police. Sheikh Osama also spoke about setting up the Jihad and incited the people of Sudan to fight the occupiers of their land.
However, Aljazeera editors in chief have counterfeited the facts by making the speech appear as exclusively targeting the brothers and sons inside Al-Qaeda organization.
It looked as if it was an acknowledgment of their mistakes, a renunciation of their jihad and their loyalty to it. Adding to the irony, they invited every nefarious thug and under qualified so called terrorism experts to comment on the less then the half of the distorted tape.
On the other hand, they failed to mention his warning not to join the political game – as he addressed the leaders of Jihadi groups to avoid the polytheist deeds such us elections and parliament.
They ignored his pleas to his brothers to watch out for hypocrites who try to climb onto the back of the mujahedeen and ignite the Fitna amongst them.
Sheikh Osama bin Ladin called upon the tribes to fight on and to be patient for the sake of Allah, He praised the tribes of Diala the heartland of the newborn state of Islam.
Where is the neutrality of Aljazeera who did not succeed at all in bringing a similar summary to the one mentioned in this statement?
Is there any journalistic honor left out there by joining the trend of the enemy of Islam to destroy its establishment, dispersing the ranks of mujahedeen in service of the crusaders purposes and their agents amongst the rules of the region.
No wonder, as a matter of fact, we will not grieve for the actions of this channel that had an outstanding record in the betrayal of our Umma, the unfaithfulness to our Deen and a tool in the hands of Kufr.
Aljazeera’s loss of credibility is more and more obvious, and the statements of the mujahedeen showing it sides by the American occupation are widely published.
Based on all that, we at Al-Fajr Media Center, strongly urge all journalists, media experts, satellite channels, news media outlets and more importantly the Arabic ones...to adhere to the neutrality principle in publishing the messages as they are without omission.
It is unfortunate to say that the disbelievers, despite their kufr and enmity, are often more courageous in airing our leaders messages than you who are supposed to be our people.
Furthermore, we urge our supporters and sympathizers to show patience and cautiousness, and not to accept media releases unless it originates from a credible source that doesn’t modify the contents according to its desires.
As for the analysts, we say fear Allah as for every word you utter is recorded, and you will be held accountable before Allah.
All glad tidings are due the supporters of jihad, the jihad media will go on by the Will of Allah who will fail the plots of the kuffar and the hypocrites, and those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
