Bin Ladin on Traditional Marriage

Bin Laden is a religious man, and consequently had four wives, as is allowed among Muslims. Ever clever with words, here is how he put it:
One is okay, like walking. Two is like riding a bicycle: It's fast
but a little unstable. Three is a tricycle, stable but slow. And,
when we come to four, ah! This is the ideal. Now you can pass
everyone
Not sure, but I'm pretty certain he is opposed to same-sex marriages too, of any number.

A quote from a speech given last week by the president of the United States. If you ask me, he should have his history degree revoked!

"Osama bin Ladin has called the 9/11 attacks, in his words, 'a great step towards the unity of Moslems in establishing the righteous Caliphate.' This Caliphate would be a totalitarian Islamic Empire encompassing all current and former Moslem lands, stretching for Europe to North Africa, the Middle East and southeast Asia."
