Osama bin repressed

Kola Boof is in the news again with some new information gleaned from her tryst with Osama:

Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden is so obsessed with singer Whitney Houston he thought about killing her husband, Bobby Brown, it was claimed last night...He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum.

If Kola Boof's name is not familiar, it should be. A native of Sudan with an Egyptian father, she claims her parents were killed by Arabs, whom she despises, yet has admitted to being a sex slave for both UBL and Hassan al-Turabi. Here's an interview that might provide more perspective.

She's a real piece of work but her root cause as a writer seems to be the plight of black women within Islam, a subject that got Theo Van Gogh killed. She certainly has strong opinions about color, race, and the meaning of the war on terror:

- and it's very sad, because in America, the people don't take the government's warnings seriously and they really should, because terrorism is the new frontier in world warfare. Chemicals and things are eventually going to be used, and because I was raised in a culture that taught me that I should strap on a bomb and blow up innocent people'in the name of Arab imperialist progression and religious superiority - I know better than most Americans that terrorism is real. Americans are very spoiled people and they don't want to hear about it.

I don't know if all her stories are true, but the above seems to be a keen observation.

But whether she's the real deal or not, her topics are hot button. Experts sometimes claim that the more puritanical one is the more sexually repressed they tend to be. That does seem somewhat intuitive. It's also a frequent criticism leveled by the far left against conservative Christians and evangelicals, but that's another debate.

Like any man, bin Laden has a natural attraction to hot women. Just refer to the back cover of Ms. Boof's books for proof. Yet his religion handles those urges by instructing men not to look with lust to the point of keeping the women second class, subservient and wrapped up. Perhaps that partially explains his pathological obsession with killing westerners, to which Ms. Boof might add a few more charges as well, not making her much of a celebrity in her native land.

Following the logic might lead folks to think George W. Bush's biggest cheerleaders in fighting the GWoT Islamofascists would be homosexuals and other sexually liberated peoples not desirous of a world run by the likes of bin Laden or his overly sexist religion. Yet for some reason, that's not the case.
