1. scribe10:This is what jiahd watch has to say about this video:
“As I noted here yesterday, the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence forbids men and women to dye their hair black “except when the intention is jihad…as a show of strength to unbelievers” (’Umdat al-Salik e.4.4). OBL is not a member of the Shafi’i school; the Wahhabis adhere to the Hanbali school, and the Deobandis (the dominant sect among the Taliban) are Hanbalis. But this is not just a Shafi’i view: Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, in his internationally influential The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam, says essentially the same thing: “Some of the early Muslims, including some sahabah [companions of Muhammad] such as Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas, ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amr, al-Hassan, al-Hussein, Jarir, and others permitted the use of black dye. Some scholars, on the other hand, do not consider the use of black dye as permissible except during time of war, when the enemy might be impressed by the fact that all the soldiers of the Muslim army look young.”"

Sep 9, 2007 - 8:06 am 3. LarryD:The tape contains around 22 minutes where the video is frozen and the audio continues. It’s possible that an old (and unreleased) tape was dubbed over to create this. All of the reference to recent events occur while the video is frozen. And the audio is not in Bin Laden’s style, either of delivery or of substance.
