Living with Osama bin Laden: First wife tells of husband's bid to train his sons as suicide bombers

I don't know how accurate this book by the estranged Mrs Bin Laden No 1 and the No 4 son is. Who does. But Osama certainly comes over as a nasty piece of work.
No 4 son is Omar, toy boy and possibly ex-husband No 5 of Jane Felix-Brown, former girlfriend of George Best.
From The Daily Mail
Osama bin Laden was a tyrant who  trained his own children to be suicide bombers and murdered their pets, his first wife has revealed.
In a new book about her time living with bin Laden, Najwa Ghanem has told how she gave birth to 11 of his 14 children because bin Laden said that Islam needed many warriors.
And millionaire bin Laden would not allow any modern appliances in his home, even refusing his son medicine to treat his asthma, she reveals.
On one occasion Najwa remembers how, in the 1990s, bin Laden took his family of four wives and 14 children on a camping trip to the desert of Sudan.
After finding an isolated spot, bin Laden ordered his sons to dig a ditches in the sand and all of the children, even one and two-year-olds, were forced to climb in.
The ordeal was supposed to be training for a future war between the West and Muslims.
‘You must be gallant,’ he warned. ‘Do not think about foxes or snakes. Challenging trials are coming to us.’
When the children complained that they were cold bin Laden simply told them to cover themselves with dirt and said that they would be ‘warm under what nature provides.’
The shocking stories of life with the world’s most wanted man have been co-written between Najwa and her fourth son, Omar in their memoirs 'Growing up bin Laden' which is released next month.
Najwa is bin Laden’s first cousin and they were married when she was 15 and he was 17.
When she first met Osama bin Laden she saw him as a 'serious, conscientious boy.'
She writes. 'He was proud, but not arrogant. He was delicate, but not weak. He was grave, but not severe.'
Dancing, joking and laughing were all forbidden at the wedding between her and bin Laden.
For more than 30 years she lived in purdah, where she was only allowed to meet other members of her family.
In the bin Laden household all air conditioning, televisions and phones were banned.  This fits with Carmen the ex sister-in-law's claims in her book.  Toys given to the children were destroyed. Even the children’s pets were not safe from bin Laden’s particular brand of total religious fanaticism.
He ordered a much-loved pet monkey to be run over because it ‘was not a monkey at all, but was a Jewish person turned into a monkey by the hand of God.’
And a litter of puppies the boys adopted was gassed by al Qaeda fighters to see how long it would take them to die. I can believe both of those stories.
Bin Laden did not hesitate in training his sons to be suicide bombers as they grew older.
‘Listen, my sons, there is a paper on the wall of the mosque. This paper is for men who are good Muslims, men who volunteer to be suicide bombers,’ Omar recalls his father telling him repeatedly.
One of Osama's youngest sons ran to the mosque to sign up; his father did nothing to stop him.
When Omar reacted angrily to his father’s plans, bin Laden told him with cold detachment: ‘You hold no more a place in my heart than any other man or boy in the entire country.’
Omar once asked his father: 'My father, when is this killing and war going to stop?'
Bin Laden responded: 'Would you ask a Muslim when he was going to stop praying to God? I will fight until my dying day!   I will fight until I breathe my last breath! I will never stop my fight for justice! I will never stop this jihad!'
While she remains married to him Najwa says she has not spoken to Osama since the 9/11 attacks and does not know where he is.
Bin Laden took three more wives.

The toys, of course, would have been destroyed because they were 'statues' - images of living beings.

The dogs would have been killed because sharia says they are unclean (I find it interesting, however, that the children adopted 'a litter of puppies' at all - it rather testifies to the fact that even being descended from generation upon generation of  Mohammedans brainwashed from childhood to hate dogs, has not entirely erased from the genetic program whatever it is in human beings that seems to incline us to make friends with dogs.  Mohammedans do not emerge from the womb hating dogs or 'knowing' that dogs are ritually unclean; they are TAUGHT to hate them, as they are taught to hate so much else).

Further thought: suppose one removed from this story everything specifically identifying the persons and the culture.  Suppose one told a psychiatrist about a father who killed his children's pet monkey because he believed it was 'really' a member of an ethnic group he despised, and took his children's pet dogs and used them in a chemical weapon experiment.  Would not the psychiatrist conclude that these were the actions of a psychopath?

The more closely a pious mohammedan conforms himself to the 'profile' of Mohammed as displayed to him in the Islamic texts, the more his psychological profile, his general conduct, will conform to a pattern that western psychologists understand to be sociopathic/ psychopathic.

 In the West, those born with the terrible neurological glitch that makes a psychopath, are seen as dangerous moral cripples; not to be admired, but feared, and - once detected - confined and restrained from doing harm.  In Islam, those born that way are likely to rise high in the society, praised and feared and validated at every turn  - for their inherent awfulness is completely consonant with the dreadful example of Mohammed and the nature of sharia.  

In a sharia world, it is the psychopath who is the norm and the ideal.

The person who in dar al Islam is born with what we Infidels would call a 'normal' brain, a normal human neurological wiring that would (in practically any other halfway decent human society) blossom into empathy, reciprocity, independent will, creativity, etc , is heavily brainwashed and very often violently abused from an early age, in order to kill his soul and thus create what might be called an 'artificial' psychopath.

It is as if people who worshipped a god that had no heart and no head, were (figuratively speaking) to deliberately cut out their hearts and cut off their heads, in order to go through life heartless and headless.
