Osama bin Laden's Son Promotes Peace
(Ebru News/AP) Omar bin Laden, the son of the notorious al-Qaida leader, wishes to be an "ambassador for peace" between Muslims and the West.
The 26-year-old does not renounce his father, Osama bin Laden, but in an interview with in Cairo, he said there was a better way to defend Islam than militancy.
Omar Bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden said:
"In my heart, I feel that it (my heart) doesn't like all this happening, and I ask my father, and the big Sheikh in Saudi Arabia or Egypt to come and sit at one table and talk about (whether) this is right or wrong by God's way. And I personally ask my father, son to father, to give me approve (approval) from the God, or from Quran, or from Hadith about this is (the) way that is right or wrong to make me feel not lost."
Omar believes that; "Everybody who has a good heart should be an ambassador for peace.
Omar Bin Laden, son of Osama bin Laden said:
"Not especially me, but me because maybe I have an interesting name, my father's name."
Omar - one of bin Laden's 19 children - raised a tabloid storm last year when he married a 52-year-old British woman, Jane Felix-Browne, who took the name Zaina Alsabah.
She believes he would be a "very good ambassador because of his unique position".
Zaina Alsabah said:
"I think Omar is a very very peaceful person. He believes in peace. He believes in talking. He believes in sitting down and resolving something rather than fighting.
Omar lived with the al-Qaida leader in Sudan, then moved with him to Afghanistan in 1996 where he apparently trained at an al-Qaida camp.
