That is if you believe wholesale the words of Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law.
In an interview with a western media, Zakaria Al-Sada claimed that Osama urged his children to get a good education (modern secular?) in the West and refrain from the extremism and religious war path he followed. (paraphrased on condition that meanings are not hidden or lost in translation)
The immediate and superficial impact of resignation would be a blow to Islamist jihadists morale and propaganda to recruit new suicide bombers and warriors. Is this a tactical retreat for longer term recoup and consolidation.
Conspiracy theorists and sceptics, however, believe that sending fundamentalist kids to the West and receive modern education would raise their stature and allow them to blend in with the crowd, cultivate and breed local-born to join jihad.
Is this really a deception spread by Osama's brother-in-law to impress upon the West not to be too hard on Osama's wives, children and grandchildren. Soothing words - what we love to hear rather than the hard truths - would coax target countries and innocent victims to let our guards down.
Oh dear, the bitter lessons of complacence have taught us to become so disbelieving that we can't even trust anything at face value without suspecting others' intentions!

Would you trust the words of this neat young cool looking guy who is Osama's brother-in-law?
