Mrs Bin Laden

[Big Les]

Absolutely nothing wrong with marrying the son of an international terrorist (http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1274613,00.html)you might say. However, the young lady in question appeared via phone on GMTV (UK breakfast show) this morning stating that if she met her new father-in-law, the first thing she'd ask would be "did he do it". Because apparently members of the family have told her that he didn't.

Prime Truther fodder methinks.

Bloody hormones.

Jane Felix-Browne, a 51-year-old grandmother from Moulton, Cheshire, said she met 27-year-old Omar Osama bin Laden in Egypt in September.

Could this story possibly get any creepier?

We know the brutal punishments women in OBL's dream world would suffer for the crime of showing some ankle or exposing an elbow. I wonder what they would get for robbing the cradle?

What an odd story. It's possible that they're genuinely in love, I suppose, but is it more likely he's just after a visa?

Or he's gay and looking for a cover wife who won't demand sex as much.

What makes you think she won't demand sex?

uh oh :boxedin:

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

According to the Sun today, he doesn't travel much, because it takes him ages to get through the airport....

uh oh :boxedin:

Tee hee!

As much as a woman his age.

And they also got married...

[uk_dave]

As much as a woman his age.



Crikey! You hear that cracking sound?

....It's the thin ice Wildcat is currently standing on.

[tkingdoll]

OK, I'm not going to take the bait. I will wait for some of the female forumites who are in their 50s to come and explain why you're in trouble :D

Good shout on the marriage bit though...;)

There is an excellant summary of the story here

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/12/nladen112.xml

I have quoted some of the highlights:


A teetotal housewife with a penchant for tattoos...

Calling herself Lady Felix-Browne, even though there is no apparent link to the title, she has been married five times, has three sons and five granddaughters. She dresses in black, speaks fluent Arabic and drives a white Jaguar with Egyptian number plates.

...


Mrs Felix-Browne, who also goes by the Islamic name Zaina Mohamad Al-Sabah...

.... Omar already has a wife he lives with.

...

She said yesterday she had applied for a visa for him ...

She said it would be "nice" to meet Osama bin Laden, the head of al-Qa'eda, to ask him about the 2001 terrorist attacks. "I think it would be very interesting to find out if he really did it or not. That would be the question because I think it is a doubt on everybody's mind.

Ah, I wish the late, great Les Dawson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Dawson) was still alive - there simply HAS to be a mother-in-law joke in there somewhere!

[Rahne Everson]

I think the fact that she could be his mother is creepy enough.

[60hzxtl]

I don't understand - why does he want to come to live with her?

Why doesn't she want to join him in paradise?


Women - not only is the plumbing different, so is the wiring!

Just out of curiousity, do you think the same about Catherine Zeta-Jones (38) who married Michael Douglas (63)?

I do.

Just as I did with Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes and Harrison Ford & Callista Flockhart.

That is one of those life stages all men must go through.... suddenly realising that dating someone half your own age would actually be legal, if somewhat iffy and highly unlikely.

As above in the Telegraph article - this is lifted straight from the GMTV phone interview, if memory serves, and is what I was paraphrasing in the OP. It's also why I posted this in Conspiracy Theories, since the implication of what she's saying leans towards such things. I wonder if she's ever expressed more forthright views on the matter?

[jhunter1163]

I'm 43, Mrs. Jhunter1163 is 53, and I wouldn't be surprised to see her make her first post on this topic (she does lurk here) re: some of the comments above...

Yep.

Yep, couldn't care less on any of them.
