| An American member of al-Qaida warned President Bush on a videotape on Tuesday to end U.S. more... involvement in all Muslim lands or face an attack worse than the Sept. 11 suicide assault. |
Is this guy a joke?
This guy seems like a bad actor from a B movie.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

The whole things sounds hokey. (no pun intended)

I'm pretty sure that's actually Weird Al Yankovic. I reckon it sounds like him.
It would be hard to make up a more ridiculous set of demands in parody, assuming this isn't.
If this guy is serious, he's a complete loon. Even if some country/government individual wanted to comply, it would be impossible to do so. |

I don't think it's Weird Al nor do I think the demands are all that ridiculous. Ridiculous, yes, but not enough for a parody. But I still think it's a fake, especially with those horrible hand motions. I have a hard time believing this guy actually agrees with what he is saying.

What are your speculations as to who would make this video and why?

I was kidding about it actually being Weird Al, but as I was watching it I couldn't help but think the voice and look reminded me of someone, and Weird Al it was. He probably would have made it a bit funnier.

Change the laws of physics, or ban all broadcasts, sure, we can do that...

Can anyone else see a change in the next poll of prisoners' religion?
I agree with you that the guys speech and mannerisms are unusual for that sort of video.

This reminds me of the way I used to argue for my fading Marxist-Leninist beliefs, back when I was in my twenties. The less I came to believe in it all, the more strident and ardent I sounded. I can still hear that same nervous, false note in my voice. The world is seen in stark, authoritarian black and white. Good and evil, or thesis and antithesis. In my opinion, this American is a guy who's just starting to realize that his whole belief system is a dangerous sham, though he's trying hard to convince himself otherwise. Soon, he'll want to run, but it may be too late for him.
Screw all attractive ideologies, and the bastards who exploit people with them.
