Osama Bin Laden's wives are highly educated and some are descended from the profit - ryoder - 05-14-2011

These wives are pretty highly placed in the arab world. Some have PhDs and some are direct descendants of the prophet.

I am noticing that people can be extremists and terrorists despite being highly educated and wealthy.

Khadijah Sharif - Osama's second wife
Nine years his senior, she married Osama in 1983 and the pair had three children together. She was highly educated and said to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammed. Also called Umm Hamza meaning "mother of Hamza", a well-educated Saudi woman with a Ph.D. in Islamic law who became Bin Laden’s second wife, was seven years older than her husband, and the oldest of the five women he married.

Umm Khaled is also a Saudi woman with a doctorate, in Arabic grammar.


This information is coming out more and more each day.

The use of the word "profit" instead of "prophet" in the title was a mistake and was unintentional.

I read that he had a large collection of adult material too.

I remember from my tour in Iraq, (speaking of adult material) we used to confiscate external harddrives from all the Arab/Muslim coalition partners we had. They used to plug it into our computer network and we would scan what they had in there. They say adult material is against their religion, but their harddrives had hundreds of gigabites that said otherwise. We're doing the same thing here in Afghanistan, confiscating their adult material that supposedly is against their beliefs.

Supposedly adult material was found at thecompound where O.B.L. waskilled, but I don't know if it was confirmed that it was his. (Other than knowing that he was located, that a group of SEALS were able to kill him,and that he was buried at sea, I haven't really followed the story. Weren't there other males in the compound? (Or females, I don't think we should assume only males are interested in that gene.)

CLEP101 I'm not sure that I understood something in your post. Not that I'm a fan of adult material, but why were their hard dives (there has GOT to be a dirty joke there) confiscated? Was it because they were using US equipment?

Big hands + small keyboard = poor typing.
Add space between "the" and "compound." Ditto "was" and "killed." "Gene" isn't a guy or genetic material; it should be "genre."

Will use "Preview Post" in future.

Their Harddrives were confiscated because adult material is banned in our deployed locations. They are authorized to use some of our (Non-classified) computer systems, but when a USB harddrive is connect to any one of our networks, we automatically scan for viruses, and banned/illegal material. It just so happened that most of the problems we had with our Muslim friends was that their hard drives they were using for work, also had adult material. So they were confiscated, wiped clean, and given back. Needless to say, they were upset when the material they are supposedly against, was deleted.

Or they knowingly or unknowingly upload malware to the network. Hence why we banned thumbdrives a while back...

It just amazes me that non-nationals are allowed to plug devices into the network. Mind = blown.
