Bin Laden marries grandma
Osama bin Laden's 27 year-old son, Omar bin Laden, married a 51 year old British grandmother, Jane Felix-Browne, a/k/a Zaina Mohamad. The Islamic marriages took place in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. You can't make this stuff up. Why did this marriage take place? As an immigration ploy to get Omar bin Laden into Britain? She does say she "is hoping to arrange a visa for her new husband to visit Britain." I have no idea, but it makes good reading:
Jane Felix-Browne, a 51-year-old grandmother from Moulton, Cheshire, in northwest England, married 27-year-old Omar bin Laden [snip]Felix-Browne, who also uses the name Zaina Mohamad, is a local councilor with three children and five grandchildren. It is her sixth marriage.
She told The Times and Sun newspapers, which initially reported the story, that she met Omar bin Laden, the al Qaeda leader's fourth son, while riding a horse near the Great Pyramid, in Giza, Egypt. She had been in the country to undergo medical treatment for multiple sclerosis, she said. [snip]
Felix-Browne said she "married the son, not the father."
"I just married the man I fell in love with — to me he is just Omar," she told The Times. "I hope people will take a step back and think what it is like when they fell in love."
She told GMTV that she would one day like to meet her father-in-law to find out if he really is the mastermind behind the terrorist atrocities he is accused of. [snip]
She said her husband, a scrap dealer and one of 18 brothers, was raised in Sudan and Afghanistan after his father was expelled from Saudi Arabia for anti-government actions. She added that father and son last met in Afghanistan in 2000. (BBC)

Agreed!!!
Omar has not been linked to Al Qaeda in any way.
I was particularly disturbed when Michael Moore used similar reasoning in his movie Fahrenheit 911. He used ‘Guilt by Association’ to create prejudice against the Bin Laden family that was in the United States at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
That was mighty hypocritical for a man who claims that the U.S. has treated Muslims unfairly in the War on Terror.

I dont think we should blame Omar for his fathers actions and crimes etc...
If he was like his father he wont give a NON muslim woman an second glance and he wont accept to have a romantic relation with a woman BEFORE marriage and He wont marry a NON Muslim woman .
Nobody , has blamed Tzpvi Livni Of Israel for her father s crimes > he was the leader of the IRGUN a terrorist organisation who committed many crimes.
NO one is attacking the Daughter of Mussolini in Italy for his crimes, she is Now a politicians and considering Elections .
if they are happy , they are conscenting adults, good luck to them.
NO He is not interested in her passeport , he is still from the Wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia , the Bin laddin Empire is well known in the Middle east .

Well, what about the stupid women who marry death row inmates. It takes all kinds.. and there are plenty of wacko women (and men) out there.
I hope to God the Brits aren't stupid enough to let hubby in.

If I were Omar I'd be somewhat concerned that my "bird" was more interested in me "Da."
I feel for the young lad; fearful and uninterested in following in Pops sandal prints he is forced to go not for the revered "72," but the previously been with...
Hmmm.... What does bin Laden's brand of Islam have to say on this subject, anyway?

This is true, but there is something very strange about it. She wants to meet her father-in-law. Right, I want to meet him too and offer him the hand of friendship (with a weapon in my hand).

I just got through ranting about how Britain's biggest threat isn't Al-Qaeda, it's British stupidity. You provide another great example.
They'd have probably let him in without the publicity.
