OT: Osama's Niece Poses in Racy Photo Shoot

[Guest guest]

You sho' got this one right, Butch!! As you well know from your years

of working in the Middle East, bringing shame upon the family is a sin

punishable by the ritual of " honor killing " ....and it happens over

there a lot more than we ever know about.

NEW YORK (AP) - Osama bin Laden's niece, in an interview with GQ

magazine in which she appears scantily clad, says she has nothing in

common with the al-Qaida leader and simply wants acceptance by Americans.

 

" Everyone relates me to that man, and I have nothing to do with him, "

Wafah Dufour, the daughter of bin Laden's half brother, Yeslam Binladin,

says in the January edition of the magazine, referring to the al-Qaida

leader.

 

" I want to be accepted here, but I feel that everybody's judging me and

rejecting me, " said the California-born Dufour, a law graduate who lives

in New York. " Come on, where's the American spirit? Accept me. I want to

be embraced, because my values are like yours. And I'm here. I'm not

hiding. "

 

Dufour, who adopted her mother's maiden name after the Sept. 11, 2001

attacks that have been blamed on bin Laden, appears in several

provocative photos in the magazine.

 

The pictures are likely to be considered obscene by conservative Muslims

in and outside of Saudi Arabia where women are required to be veiled.

 

Asked if she would like to perform her music in the Middle East, Dufour

says her mother, Carmen Dufour, would be too afraid that " someone would

want to kill me. "

 

" Listen, I would love to raise consciousness. Maybe women could hear the

songs and realize that I'm doing my dream and hopefully they can, too, "

she said.

 

Yeslam and Osama are among 54 children of the late Saudi construction

magnate Mohammed bin Laden and his 22 wives. The extended family

includes several hundred people.

 

Binladin, who received Swiss citizenship in 2001, has condemned his half

brother " for his acts and his convictions. " He intentionally spells his

name differently from his half brother.

 

In the interview, Dufour says she would not date a fundamentalist Muslim

and that she cried hysterically when she witnessed the attacks on New

York while staying with her mother in Geneva.
