• Osama's Latest 'Poem' Reads Like Work of Michael Moore's Writers

Thus, he tells Egyptian television that the destruction of the Israeli state is for the moment "impossible" and in Mantua described the idea of stoning adulterous women as "unimplementable." This is something less than a full condemnation, but he is quick to say that simple condemnation of such things would reduce his own "credibility" in the eyes of a Muslim audience that, or so he claims, he wants to modernize by stealth.

"The gravity of the situation cannot be downplayed, due to the serious consequences a charge of blasphemy or apostasy may entail for a Muslim... even in countries like Canada," she said. "This is a very real threat. This is not some kind of a fanciful conclusion on our part. "These writings and threats create an environment of fear in Canada and make it extremely difficult for progressive Muslim groups to promote moderate Islamic ideas," he said. "(They) provide the indoctrinated mind with a licence to kill..."
