Al Jazeera has obtained new footage of the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed.
The pictures show the interiors of the house where the al-Qaeda leader is thought to have been hiding for up to six years.
Imtiaz Tyab reports from Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Have you ever seen such a mess in your life? How on earth could anyone live in such squalor? OBL's money didn't do him any good, did it? It certainly didn't buy him or his family any comfort or style. Furthermore, for a person so intent on spreading the faith of Islam, he certainly doesn't appear to have lived up to it. Prophet Muhammad is said to have placed great emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene. This from The Religion of Islam website:
Muslims throughout the world have extremely high standards of personal hygiene, because Islam places great emphasis on both physical and spiritual, cleanliness and purification. While humankind in general usually considers cleanliness to be a pleasing attribute, Islam insists on it. Muslims are required to take care of their personal hygiene by assuring that they are well groomed, and that their bodies, clothing, and surroundings are clean.It seems to me that Osama bin Laden omitted an important part of the faith he held so dear.
