(WASHINGTON, DC) – Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Turki Al-Faisal today rebuked Osama bin Laden’s latest message and called for increased international cooperation concerning oil prices during a speech at the School of Public and International Affairs at Columbia University in New York City.
In reference to bin Laden’s recent taped message, Prince Turki remarked: “Osama bin Laden does not speak for Muslims. He does not represent Islam. His religion is extremism, and his practice is terror. He leads a cult that is a perversion of a benevolent and peaceful faith.”
