Osama bin Laden

Your security is not in the hands of Kerry, Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands.

We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the difference between us two.

Every Muslim must rise to defend his religion. The wind of faith is blowing.

Even as you enter the fourth year after the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush is still misleading and deluding you and hiding the real reason from you.

I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived.

We have repeatedly issued warnings, over a number of years. Following these warnings and these calls, anti-American explosions took place in a number of Islamic countries.

We treat them in the same way. Those who kill our women and innocent, we kill their women and innocent, until they refrain.

I'm fighting so I can die a martyr and go to heaven to meet God. Our fight now is against the Americans.

This resemblance became clear in the Bush the father's visits to the region. He wound up being impressed by the royal and military regimes and envied them for staying decades in their positions and embezzling the nation's money with no supervision.

Bush the father did well in placing his sons as governors and did not forget to pass on the expertise in fraud from the leaders of the region to Florida to use it in critical moments.

We did not find it difficult to deal with Bush and his administration, because it is similar to regimes in our countries - both types include many who are full of arrogance and greed.

As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie.

We do not mind establishing a long-term truce between us and you.

I support any Muslims, whether here or abroad.
