How will the left react to Osama preaching from their text?

I don't know. They won't react overtly, I don't think, won't notice it. Because they won't want to disagree with OBL on this, but praising him is kind of awkward, even for our hard left.

But they will regard his arguments more sympathetically, since they have already been projecting their own desires onto the Takfiri Islamists, and here is OBL saying that they were quite right to do so, he's with them on global warming and globalization and evil neocon conspiracies.

also the attack on democracy as an ideology sounds eerily reminiscent of Hitler's...it makes clear the similarity of the left and the jihadists....very weird mixture of right and left...where does it leave a left wing Jew or Christian? I don't see how anybody observant can sympathize with AQ. Unless they're suicidal.

imao blog points out the one important leftist talking point that Osama bin Laden has failed to embrace:

I should also note that Osama is not a Truther since he sounds pretty sure he's responsible for 9/11. Someone should ask him about WTC 7.

He's appealing to leftists and explicitly asking them to convert to Islam.

That is a Koran based requirement.
They must first invite us to embrace their faith and are only allowed to kill us after we refuse.
