In a sad attempt to jump on the Arab Spring Band Wagon Bin Laden praises the successful revolutions which took place in Tunisia and Egypt. One, problem Al Qaeda had nothing to do with the success of either up-rising even though they tried to involve themselves but were rebuffed. One can only speculate that the people of North Africa and the Middle East had no overt desire for a return to the 12 century. What's not like about a complete lack of freedom or civil rights as you are ruled over by a despot whose very word is law.
"The sun of the revolution has risen from the Maghreb. The light of the revolution came from Tunisia. It has given the nation tranquility and made the faces of the people happy."
Tunisia's president was overthrown in January, followed by Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak after mass protests centred on Cairo's Tahrir Square.
"Tunisia was the first but swiftly the knights of Egypt have taken a spark from the free people of Tunisia to Tahrir Square," said bin Laden, adding: "It has made the rulers worried."
He predicted that the winds of change would blow over the entire Muslim world.
"I think that the winds of change will blow over the entire Muslim world, with permission from Allah.
"A delay may cause the opportunity to be lost, and carrying it out before the right time will increase the number of casualties,"
