The English-language Bibles were full of highlighting and folded-over pages. Maybe they were being used to plot. In any case, they were all marked up. Was Osama thinking of converting? Was he going into Islamic apologetics and proselytizing Christians? Was he planning to send jihadis posing as Christians into churches the West? We may never know. In any case, it's a good thing these Bibles weren't burned, or we'd see radical Christians rioting, killing innocent people, and demanding that Pakistani authorities be put on trial -- no, wait...
"Two Bibles 'containing terror codes' found hidden in Bin Laden compound as it is demolished," by Graham Smith in the Daily Mail, February 29 (thanks to David):
Pakistani security officials have found two copies of the Bible at the house where Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was killed.The Christian holy books were discovered this week when demolition crews were sent in to tear down the compound in Abbottabad.
They were so well hidden that security personnel had previously overlooked them.
It is thought the English-print editions contain coded clues to future terror attacks, The Sun reported....
The English-language Bibles - a bizarre find in the home of the world's most famous Islamic fundamentalist - contained pages that are folded-over and highlighted texts.
An ISI commanding officer told The Sun: 'The Bibles were in English and we cannot be sure why they were there. These copies were found as we checked the rooms for the final time before demolishing the building.
'The radios are in working condition and will be given with the Bibles to the investigators. Some pages were folded and we will see later what was of most interest to Bin Laden.
'Maybe he was looking for teachings of jihad.'
Bin Laden was killed at the compound by U.S. Navy SEALs last May after the biggest manhunt in history.
Its demolition was completed on Sunday, erasing a symbol of humiliation for Pakistan's military that has marked one of the most difficult periods in U.S.-Pakistan ties.
The Pakistani military was angry it had not been consulted by U.S. officials before the raid took place - a decision the U.S. explained was driven by concerns that someone in the government might tip off Bin Laden.
While much of the world cheered the death, Pakistan fumed over what it called a violation of its sovereignty....
Sure would be interesting to know which pages were earmarked, and what the ciphers pan out to mean.
A fatwa calling for the death of bin Laden for apostasy to follow......no wait...
As a Christian, I couldn't help but be reminded that even to the end, God provides a way for people to hear the truth of His Word - even to people like this, who we think are past redemption.
Whether Bin Laden or those with him paid attention is another matter, but at least they did have the opportunity.
How long will it be before there are thousands of Bin laden bibles for sale on E bay? Or, Bin laden, the missing gospel comes out in W H Smiths?
I think I can hear the sound of angry christains outside, maybe not?
Shhh, I don't want the local Christians to hear about this...You know how they get if a Bible is desecrated...
Hello Duh
I will lower my vice so the Christians won't here that their bible is desecrated, except I do not have to ….the Christians are rational humen beings and they know their bible is not disrespected when some people scribble on some copies of it … they are not like the Muslims … the muslims have a screw loose somewhere where is logic located in their brain … :-)
As you can see I am not posting in IW anymore because I am unable due to block they had done to my account .
Apparently I was cloned by the two dumb and dumber Muslim and rzq and friends in crime so much that the head master computer flagged my account permanently … or that is how it looks …
I connected the admin and they tried to fix the problem and couldn't … all computers in my house are blocked …so I gave up for now …
you are doing excellent job banging some sense in the senseless and cemented M & R …
M & R …have a lot to learn ...
talk to you later
I wonder how long before the leftist muslim apologists jump on the whole "PROOF BIN LADEN WAS REALLY A CHRISTIAN WHO WAS TRYING TO BESMIRCH THE GOOD NAME OF ISLAM!" or "THIS IS PROOF THAT MUSLIMS TRULY REVERE CHRISTIANITY TOO!".
5,4,3,2....
Duh
I meant to say ...
voice … not vice …
But you got my meaning …
Although …
The word vice ….fits Islam like a glove

Paki propaganda to make ISI look friendly. I wouldn't believe a single word these shmucks are telling.
BIN LADEN - he was a serious religious and political person. It is highly likely he got to read the Bible. Why two copies?
Maybe he was trying to find the mention of Mohammad, like every other Muslim out there.
I'm probably not the only one here curious-as-to-know who is doing the investigating.
Well said, London Jim. Include me as one of the curious-to-know. Let's put it together: Coded messages, clues to a future terror attack, placed in a secret Bible, and well hidden, at that, behind a brick wall. Forgive me, but it's like a Nancy Drew Mystery Novel. Shall we name it, "The Clue in The Mujahideen's Bible"? Let's just hope these Bibles get into the hands of the proper Authorities. Let's hope the correct translation of the secret script makes it's way to the right people.
Funny they were not located until now, in rooms searched before.
In English as well. It would be interesting to see what whoever did the markings found, or was reading. But, this may all be a ploy to push somebodys button, in these peoples view.
let's fo to Jamaica queens where there are mostly, pakistanis, afghanis and yemenis and riot!!! while we are at it let's kill a few people who had nothing to do with this!! what do you say?

Take it from a hard-drinker, miriam. .lay off the spirits, chap.
fineliving56, I've seen numerous posts by you at IW, as well as the rabid savages that try to demean you. Very nicely done. It's a shame that your account was blocked because you show the truth, and theirs will probably not be touched.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!^!%@*#)(@! Boom! Boom! Boom!
There. Did that sound like Uncle Kepha rioting? Gotta stop, go out, and get some live-stewed liberated lesbian with my good buddies, the shades of Rabbi Meir Kahane and Ayatollah Khomeini--Me, he, and he, fundies three. Ooops! One eats only kosher, the other only halal!
Well, so much for living up to the stereotype a lot of Leftist people would have of me--even people who ought to know me better. In all honesty, I'm neither a necromancer, cannibal, nor rioter, much as some might wish me to be those.
Seriously, I'd be curious to know what UBL had underlined and dog-eared in those Bibles. I understand he traveled in Western countries when younger, so he might have understood that devout Christians often mark and annotate their Bibles. Perhaps the Holy Spirit got hold of him as he was sidelined in Jihad International (or kept under wraps by the Paks?); perhaps just a seeker; perhaps trying a new tack in coded messages. At this point, only God Almighty knows the whole story.
LJ - I can't imagine Pakistani ISI will help. From all the stuff that I read about Bin Laden they were the most loyal to him. That wasn't for the money but Islam.
I can imagine Al-Quada/OBL using copies of the Bible throughout the Western World to distribute secret messages via some White converts. Whatever is in the code we wouldn't get to know it. Everyone is as curious as you to know.
In Pakistan, the highest authority is held by the ISI branches - that includes the investigators or they are better known as Researchers. It is most probable that we will get to see these Bibles, that will be after the Pakistanies had tempered with them or made a different set of copies. I am sure they will milk us for that. In the coming months you will hear a lot more about other bin-laden's "items" discovered and sold to us at amazing prices, because we are willing to pay. We are obsessed with him.
We didn't find anything significant on his 'terror-bytes' of hard drives - there can't be so significant information in his copies of the Bible. I am guessing.

That what exactly happen, Muslim and shamed and zombi rzq, still spreading their lies and obfuscation to serve their agenda …and I was stopped
They used my name to call people names and accuse them of things I did not say ..
I thought cloning other posters is enough to block them … I was really surprised they did not .
The admin says he tried to fix it but it did work and I believe him …
thank for your praise, My son and I tries to bring out any spick of logic that we were sure any humen has ... but apparently we were asking for too much out the of muslim and shamed and his side kick rzq .
I will not stop to expose Muhammad and his shameful life and if that hurt the feeling of Muslims … well …tough

One for desecration and one for "porno".

There was a young Vampire named Mabel,
Whose period was remarkably stable.
So every full-moon,
She'd whip out a spoon,
And drink herself under the table.
@ BlueRaven: 2 copies could mean 2 translations.
You are dead right! Who will go through and read each page at the immigration gates?
You will BURN IN HELL for ETERNITY DOWSE !!
Joking, David.
although I'm not religious, but I found myself toying with the notion Osama's desecration of the bible was the last straw.
It is impossible to desacrate a Bible, friend.

I know, I know, Jim. I just couldn't resist.
Disgoosting... but hilarious ! I'm making a collection of your little pomes ...
I expect some left wing enabler suggested he should write a treatise on how the Bible is *much* more violent than the quran...
Well, the cult of deceit (Islam) sanctions lying to further their political ambitions and their mosques are "houses of war" (against non-Muslims), so what is to stop them from desecrating the Bible? It is interesting that all of a sudden they find Bibles at the compound of bin Laden touted as full of communiques, which could merely be stolen Bibles that had highlighted sections from someone's study of the Bible. What is the intended message, that jihad uses Bibles? That Muslims have no respect for the Bible? That Pakistan lies to the press? That Islam fosters childish behavior?
Gotta' laugh, we have. . .de muz can learn our language, yet we can lose them and find them the line of humour/humor.
As a Christian, I would like to think he spent his time in hiding and wanting forgiveness for his sins. As an American and student of intelligence (denial and deception included), I would like to think that this was a well designed plot carried out by the fine warriors of Navy Seal Teams to completely discredit bin Laden and his entire movement.
- Trying to show that even the head of al Qaeda was a Bible studying, God fearing man and that allah was a figment in even his imagination.
We may never know the "truth." I tip my hat to the creator of this deception scheme. Good one.

Thanks! I'm glad someone is...
Daniel. . Who do you think is behind what you describe as '' this deception'' ?.
If the two Bibles were allegedly that well hidden, one has to wonder why two? I don't think they were for 'desecration'. If that were the case, surely they would have been left out in the open? Hmm, regarding the Korans which were burned in Afghanistan and contained codes/ciphers - is this something to lead people to conclude that hey, it is done with Bibles as well? I'm tired and my mind is not quite making all the connections but hopefully someone can understand what I'm trying to say. (And I'm not a conspiracyist although my sister says I am :) )
It's a mystery. Maybe they were property of the previous tennant, hidden from the ISI in a partition wall.
Bibles hidden so well that they could not be easily found , highlighted texts, pages folded over. Sorry, there are no hidden codes. Someone in Bin Laden's household was a secret Christian. I have Bibles with highlighted texts, I don't fold pages but I do use page markers. Lots of believing Christians do this sort of thing. An awful lot of effort is going to be wasted looking for something that isn't there.
Even today I saw three Christians with highlighted bibles in cafe in Birmingham (UK). These young women weren'r plotting a terror attack in public just having coffee and a lunch-time Bible study.
Highlighted texts are NOT descration, just evidence of Bible study.
Ian, what you said makes perfect sense. I pray that God protects this/these Christians.
