Why did Osama Bin Laden feel it necessary to dye his facial hair black for his latest taunt to the US?

He didn't actually dye it, he just washed out the crusty soup that was stuck in it before.Why did Osama Bin Laden feel it necessary to dye his facial hair black for his latest taunt to the US?
He is trying to impress his followers with a more youthful appearance--don't think it worked,however.Why did Osama Bin Laden feel it necessary to dye his facial hair black for his latest taunt to the US?
I think it is fake, and he goes around with no beard as a ';disguise';.





Either that, or it is some silly signal to his followers to do something bad.





Elections are coming up in the US....he is working on his image. Gotta influence the polls, right?
Old ';Bin Liner'; is Dead this is a waxwork dummy complete with movable jaw. (the only bit that moves) and a carefully edited tape repeating the same old fanatical rants. when will he learn he isn't going to win, heed the lessons learnt by the Romans, Napoleon, Kaiser, Adolph Hitler All of those won nil .Civilisation Won four, Go back to your cave and weep old man.
Vanity - I've heard he's really ill (kidney disease) dunno if it's true, but he's not well, and getting older
i think he looks stupid.


he looks like someone from a old charlie chaplin or three stooges movie did his makeup.


now if he would just trim his mustache a little more





hitler with a beard.
I fear Mr. Bin Laden has been dead lo these several years. His stand-in is a little younger, hence the blackened locks.





Whenever the W administration needs a shot in the arm, the facsimilie is trotted out.





Oh well . . .
Because the actor who usually plays him is doing Father Christmas for the next few months.
It has obviously backfired but his intention was probably to ensure he looked healthy and not like an old man with his greying beard. He wants to appear strong to his followers and to the media.
He didnt...thats not his face....its his bum hair.
Is it really him?? Im not so sure they all seem to look alike... Didn't think he was so image consious.
As a disguise of course
I think it is hilarious that he dyed his beard!





How much money would be paid for a picture of him dying it in his cave.......lmao.





Do you think he asked the his taliban mates


';does this suit me dudes';....
newwwww looooook
Well you gotta look good if you are going to plan the deaths of thousands of inocent people. The gray haired old fart look just does'nt get you the respect you deserve as a mass murderer. Personaly i would'nt mind tieing his beard to a high branch of a tree and shoot him in the azz with rock salt repeatedly. I am sick of seeing friends and fellow soldiers die or get injured over this BS war.
It wasn't him.
maybe it wasn't really him.
He is now a star.
Who cares. I hope he's dead
its amazing how he hates the western world and all its ideals and yet he will use brylcream for his image
Muslims are so ';moral of the day'; and so ';relatives'; in their religion interpretation and moral inclination...but, hahaha... is true, how can somebody think about make such declarations of war, blood, murder, freedom and religion without even dying his hair...the video is real, only a muslim could make both things and still thing is ';logical';.
because if you were wanting someone to lead you, youd want him to look healthy and full of beans rather than grey and on his last legs, right?
Well fortunately I can't relate to the goings on inside Osama's head
He is just a man!





We are all concerned with how we look and how we are perceived. I think old Osama Bin Laden is just as vain as any of us and he wants to appear youthful, virile and strong for his opponents.





No one in powerful positions wants to come across as ailing, weak, ill or losing their grip. My guess is that he has reason to bolster his appearance - maybe he is ill or more frail and we are supposed to be put off this notion by ';his new virile'; look.





It's predictable and It's a man thing.


Sorry chaps, no offence meant.
Your obsession with 911 and terrorism is unhealthy and slightly odd.
it is normal for men in the middle east to dye their hair and beards black, to look younger, most of them do it, as someone said probably makes him look fitter .
Strict Islamic law (of the sort that a fundamentalist such as OBL would follow) according to many Islamic scholars forbids Muslims to use black dye on their hair, with some Muslim scholars stating there is one exception: when waging jihad or when at war with the Kuffar, or unbelievers - when it is permissible for Muslim soldiers to dye their beards black to impress their enemy with their appearance and thereby appear more formidable. The black beard, like the ';invitation'; to convert to Islam, very likely indicates belligerent intent.
don't he work in Langley now as car park attendant?
He's the lastest model for Just For Men hair dye.
