[quote]Lets know more about bin laden's young generation's views:
.....
The 26-year-old does not renounce his father, al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, but in an interview with The Associated Press, he said there is better way to defend Islam than militancy: Omar wants to be an &quot;ambassador for peace&quot; between Muslims and the West.

Omar -- one of bin Laden's 19 children -- raised a tabloid storm last year when he married a 52-year-old British woman, Jane Felix-Browne, who took the name Zaina Alsabah. Now the couple say they want to be advocates, planning a 3,000-mile horse race across North Africa to draw attention to the cause of peace.

&quot;It's about changing the ideas of the Western mind. A lot of people think Arabs -- especially the bin Ladens, especially the sons of Osama -- are all terrorists. This is not the truth,&quot; Omar told the AP last week at a cafe in a Cairo shopping mall.

Of course, many may have a hard time getting their mind around the idea of &quot;bin Laden: peacenik.&quot;

&quot;Omar thinks he can be a negotiator,&quot; said Alsabah, who is trying to bring her husband to Britain. &quot;He's one of the only people who can do this in the world.&quot;

Omar lived with the al Qaeda leader in Sudan, then moved with him to Afghanistan in 1996.
