Bin Laden fans go online to voice admiration Monday, October 8, 2001 at 20:00 JST DUBAI — Osama bin Laden's sympathizers went online to express mingled admiration and concern for the hardline Islamist after his dramatic televised call for Muslims to rise up against the United States. "I swear he made me shiver when he appealed to the Muslim world for help — and I know there won't be any country that will lend him an ear," Wissam, a Palestinian, told an online community. "How strong this man is! He has a solid faith and power of will. With those, he can accomplish the impossible," Nada, an Egyptian woman, told a cyber-room originally devoted to discussion of the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation. Her comments were typical of remarks filed on several political Arabic chatrooms that registered bursts of activity after bin Laden broadcast his statement on Sunday evening. A defiant bin Laden, speaking in a taped statement on Qatar's al-Jazeera satellite television service, voiced praise for the perpetrators of the deadly attacks on landmarks in New York and Washington on Sept 11 that cost about 6,000 lives. The station broadcast his statement shortly after British and U.S. forces began attacks on Afghanistan in what Washington said was the start of a sustained and comprehensive campaign to hunt him down. Bin Laden made no admission of responsibility for the attacks and has previously said in statements issued through his associates that he had no role in them. An Islamist told a room dominated by Arab Muslims: "I hope to see America's end soon, God willing...I am very optimistic. What bin Laden said carries a lot of indications." Another fan said that he feared the Muslim militant "would become a memory in our history if he didn't get help. We should not stand still and watch." Some contributors left the chatrooms after pro-bin Laden correspondents made their remarks. An English-language room started by some chatterers under the name "Bin Laden fans..." was closed by the service administrators, who had said they would not tolerate rooms that expressed what they called terrorist or racist comments.
