Bin Laden aide hits out at France
An audiotape purported to be from Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri that aired on an Arabic television channel today criticised France’s decision to ban Islamic headscarves in schools as part of the West’s campaign against Islam.
“The decision of the French president to issue a law to prevent Muslim girls from covering their heads in schools is another example of the Crusader envy that the Westerners have against Muslims,” the voice said in the tape aired on the pan-Arab Al-Arabiya satellite channel.
