Osama Bin Laden is dead since December 26, 2001. Translation of Funeral Article in Egyptian Paper

12 January 2008, 21:10

You don’t know me. You don’t know my beliefs. You don’t know who I am, what I’ve done, how I feel. You know why? Because I’m a fucking individual. I am not Bush. I am not America. America is not me. I’m not a fucking demographic that you can cite statistics about. I’m a person, with all the complexities, contradictions, and subtleties that go along with that label. Please don’t stereotype me.

I have marched against the war, I’ve faced down riot police to protest capitalism. I’ve done work to end animal testing, to save giant redwoods on the west coast, to end the prison system. That’s who I am. Not a beer-swilling redneck crossburner.

Thanks,
An American
