Life is all a big confusion.. people ignore their feelings, their thoughts, their ideas, their theories, their wishes, and they even ignore what they WANT in order to be happy. Yet surprisingly they remain calm!

I am pretty sure its not true… I just know it

No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut!

Interesting pic indeed but the sign in the background is in some other language than English. Also, I read somewhere that he didn't visit Europe that much. does anyone else know more about it?

At 14 one is still in metamorphosis,if you take the anology of butterfly & catterpillar.

I am not what i was at 14

So anything is possible .Iam not saying this is Osama ,but if anything about Osama is given as contradictory remember ,Mohommed was not Prophet till he was 40 .

Robinhood also killed & plundered but then he gave to the poor.
Our judgement is biased b/c of our allegience to west by virtue of being here ,but Afghani ,Pakistani & Indian Muslim who dont have any connection or relatives in the WEST ,for them WEST is the SATAN

lol! ya right.

The Sunday Times, one of Britain's most respected broadsheets newspapers, published this picture and they maintain that it's genuine.

I can’t believe it OBL in bell bottoms

i saw his picture in a national newspaper in canada(Globe & Mail). Though it was a different pic but same age. Paper claimed that this picture is taken in Scotland when he was student there.

The Sunday Times said this picture was taken on a family holiday in 1971. I'm pretty certain the description said it was in Sweden.

The blur underneath the picture says it was taken in Sweden.

Do you know him personally? (Q. for those who say it can't be him)

I knew a Bin Ladin

, Osama was probably his uncle.
The family is huuuuge, something like 52-53 siblings from several wives, and hundreds of Bin Laden nieces and nephews. The Bin Ladin construction company owned by osama’s father was given the contract to renovate and extend the two mosques - tha Haramein - in Makkah and Madina. He was a Billionaire, like Sam Walton.
The pic is probably genuine, it is common practice for the wealthy spend summers in europe.

Women coming from Saudi almost always wear hijab/jalbab. None of the girls in the picture are wearing hijab.

It's highly unlikely that its really him.


"InshaAllah if we treat our interactions with knowledge, mercy and good
adab, the negative perceptions of Islam will be replaced by great dawah
opportunities."

But apparently Bin Ladin's family was not particularly religious.

Also, his dad was not Saudi, and neither were many of his dad's wives. Certainly, Bin Ladin's mother was reputed to be Syrian or Palestinian - and I've seen many pictures of Syrian and Palestinian women without hijabs.

Neither was he. At least not with 13-15 y. of age.

wat....i don't think this is a real pic and if it is then he has no rite to tell his daughters and wives to wear those things they wear!!!


"The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat."

get a life guys!
even if it was him.. wats the big deal,,, and y cant he tell his daughters to wear this or that?! because wen he was 14 he wore bell bottoms??!
ur not even a baaligh at 14...
so u mean if wen i was 14,, and i was wearing bell bottoms,,, i cant tell my children or wives to b good muslims wen i,m practicing it perfectly myself wen i,m 50?
maybe he didnt like this lifestyle n changed his ways,,, soooo,,, u,ll still judge him by his past??! and that too wen he was 14?!
come on. if this was him at 14 yrs of age,,, i,m even more impressed that hes such a changed man,,, and i,m talking islam wise... meaning beard n everythihng,, not because ppl r saying hes a terrorist. and i donot call him a terrorist until hes proven guilty.

dont u think wen its a normal human being,, the rule is "innocent until proven guilty" but wen its a muslim so called "terrorist" like usama... its guilty until proven innocent. y is that???

hmmmmmmmmmm… i gotta admit hes got some really nice family
