New York, NY (BlackNews.com) - Much maligned by the U.S. media, Sudan's top selling literary novelist, Kola Boof, proves that she was Osama Bin Laden's mistress in startling detail as her autobiography Diary of a Lost Girl (ISBN: 0-9712019-8-6) finally hits America today in hardcover. While he's still alive and could reasonably have her killed, Kola Boof charges that because she is "Black Arab", Bin Laden saw her as a "non-woman" and used her body accordingly, keeping her against her will for six months in 1996 and implanting tracking devices in her teeth to keep her from escaping. Boof says that a recent book by Bin Laden's sister-in-law Carmen only demonstrates how he treated White Arab Muslim women in his own family. Boof's 441 page autobiography is decidedly literary and contains over 90 detailed pages of her time with Bin Laden, including hunting and fishing excursions with the terror chief, very graphic details about their sex life, Bin Laden's gift for writing poetry, his marijuana smoking and his reputed illnesses (Boof claims that Ayman Al-Zawahri acted as Bin Laden's doctor and that his "kidney disease" is greatly exaggerated). Kola Boof, who in 2004 appealed to Israel to secure over $600 million in guns and ammunition for Sudan's South Rebel Army and is called "Queen Kola" by her African supporters, also reveals her work as an Oil company spy for Sudan's SPLA (her poem "Chol Apieth" was written and used to memorialize Vice President John Garang at his state funeral last year). Boof, who is half Arab Egyptian and was born Muslim, has become infamous for her criticism of Arab Muslim "imperialism", particularly the abuse of Black women and children in Sudan and Egypt, and writes quite passionately about "terrorism" and why she believes Americans should take it more seriously. Noting the hostility of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, she says, "The Arabs are not nearly done. There's a fatwa on America. And I'm a liberal Democrat who's saying it." Kola Boof, who's published 6 books in 8 countries, was adopted and raised in the United States by Black Americans in 1979, became a U.S. citizen in 1993 and returned to North Africa as an adult in 1994. She's the mother of two sons. In 2002, The New York Times wrote a scathing article about Boof, without her cooperation, insinuating that she did not exist, misquoting their sources and making other speculation that has since been proven incorrect. In 2003, after three weeks fact-checking, FOX NEWS, was able to confirm much of Boof's life story and profiled her in a national television interview. Diary of a Lost Girl (ISBN: 0-9712019-8-6) was released today in hardcover. Read Bruce Dunne's fascinating interview with Kola Boof: http://poetwomen.50megs.com/custom3.html
If you ask me, she is full of shit. It's not surprising that Fox News are the only ones who are supporting her.
Good point, but Fox News will support anyone who supports the right-wing agenda, so right now we don't know for sure.
AN INTERVIEW WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN'S FORMER AFRICAN MISTRESS Bruce Dunne of The Post Journal interviews Kola Boof about her just released autobiography. Kola Boof New York, NY (BlackNews.com) - The author of six books published in eight countries, Kola Boof is not only Sudan's top selling novelist, but in 1996, was the mistress of Osama Bin Laden.....a fact that jeopardized her American citizenship four years ago, until Morocco's Prince Fabrizzio Ruspolli confirmed Boof's claim that she had been held against her will by Bin Laden at Ruspoli's estate for sexual purposes. In her memoir, Diary of a Lost Girl, coming Feb. 1st in hardcover (0-9712019-8-6), Boof reveals a side of the terror chief that's never been explored before. In a telephone interview, I learned a few things that I never expected to find out...such as where he's been hiding. BRUCE DUNNE: Where is Bin Laden? KOLA BOOF: Well, about eighteen months ago he was in South Waziristan, the Toba Kakar Mountains in Pakistan. It's the state of Baluchistan. I mean, that's going by the authorities. I personally haven't spoken to him since 1998. BRUCE DUNNE: What do you think of the recent rumors that Bin Laden is dead? KOLA BOOF: Well, they're just that--rumors. BRUCE DUNNE: You say you lived with Bin Laden for six months in 1996, and I'll be asking you some very tough questions about that in a moment, but what was he like back then? KOLA BOOF: Well, he's extremely complex. I thought of him as a very rich gangbanger--he wasn't hiding in caves, although I don't know what he did when he wasn't in Morocco. Of course, he's evil, and that's what people want to hear....but he also believes that he's saving the world by forcing everyone to submit to Islam and to Arabism. Osama is a gifted poet, he was very softspoken and sensitive--but also violent....he beat me, and he was tyrannical towards his men and embarrassed about sex......but addicted to it. Because I'm black and wasn't Muslim at that time, he considered me a "non-woman". A piece of meat for men to wipe their sins off on. BRUCE DUNNE: Peter Bergen, a biographer of Bin Laden, has called you delusional. He says that Osama Bin Laden was never in Morocco in 1996--in fact, I believe he claims that Bin Laden has never been to Morocco period. KOLA BOOF: Peter Bergen doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, but I'm sure that the media would take the word of a white man who's never met Osama against the word of a Black woman who used to share his bed. The fact is...Osama Bin Laden was in Morocco in 1996, he was in Afghanistan, he lived in Sudan, he went to Ethiopia, Tanzania and Egypt that year. He went to Iran for a wedding. Peter Bergen and none of these know-it-all white men know a damned thing about where Osama was...if they did...the U.S. government would have been able to find Osama back in 1996. So don't listen to the Arabs and the White men. BRUCE DUNNE: Peter Bergen says that Bin Laden is a chronic prayer...praying ten or twelve times a day. KOLA BOOF: That wasn't true in 1996. Osama prayed on Tuesdays and Thursdays like that...all day Tuesday and Thursday, but not everyday. Bergen never lived with Osama. He's going by heresay. BRUCE DUNNE: He raped you the first night you met. How did you meet and how did you become his captive? KOLA BOOF: We met in a restaurant in Marrakech. I was there with my date and Osama came in with his men and ordered me over to his table. They escorted my date out of the restaurant and I never saw him again. Osama chatted with me for a few minutes, and then later that night, he came to my hotel room with his men and he raped me very violently. And then a few days after that, his men arrived again at my hotel...only this time to fetch me and my belongings. They took me to the Medina, La Maison Arabe, and I was kept there in the Winston Churchill room for six months. Osama came to the estate off and on, about four out of those six months total. He had sex with me and I accompanied him and his men on hunting expeditions and fishing trips. I got to know a lot of his friends, such as his doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri. BRUCE DUNNE: You say that you're annoyed by American women who complain that you don't act like a rape victim. KOLA BOOF: It was ten years ago that Bin Laden raped me. I can't imagine why I should be crying and acting emotional. Of course it was terrible being raped...but I had to survive and that meant I had to pretend to like the man. There was no time for whining..and in writing the book, there's no time for feminist theatrics. He raped me the first night and we became lovers, because I had to survive. BRUCE DUNNE: Most people definitely haven't read your novels and poems--they don't know that you're Sudan's most published literary writer--you say that it's because you're so intelligent that Bin Laden was attracted to you. KOLA BOOF: Osama's mother was like a feminist, she refused to wear a burka, two or three of Bin Laden's wives are University Professors. I don't see why that's so hard for Americans to believe. They think because they've never heard of me or because my name sounds comical to them that I'm just a bimbo. And stupid. When they see that I'm black, they tack on "liar". BRUCE DUNNE: I have to admit I loved your autobiography, but do you really believe that you know more about Bin Laden than his wives? KOLA BOOF: Well in any mansion...it's the MAIDS and the "Whores" who know the most. Trust me. BRUCE DUNNE: Bin Laden's been rumored to have suffered from kidney problems. Can you tell us anything about that? KOLA BOOF: I'd rather people buy the book, so they can read about his health difficulties in detail. An interview isn't the proper... BRUCE DUNNE: You say that you're a liberal Democrat, but you're very supportive of President Bush's war on terrorism. Is that correct? KOLA BOOF: I'm not interested in President Bush in the least, and yes, I'm a liberal Democrat...but I'm also a person who comes from the Arab world and I can tell you that I was raised in Sudanese elementary school to believe that America is Satan's country, that White men are "the devil" and to strap a bomb on my back and blow up innocent people at the post office in the name of Allah....and look at this idiot president in Iran. I want blacks in America to understand that the "Arab" is just as much of a Satan as the White man. To me, the Arab man is more Satanic than the White man. No race likes black people--not Arabs, Caucasians, Asians, Latinos, Mulattoes--nobody likes blacks. Black Americans need to look at the recent massacre of Black Sudanese in a public park in Egypt and get a clue. You have to be sensible about terrorism, and I think that Americans are way too spoiled, too rich and comfortable. They like to fancy themselves as fair people....but it's the relaxed, fair ones that die of poisoned drinking water while listening to their Barbra Streisand records, although I'm a huge Streisand fan myself. I advise Americans to question their government's tactics, surely, but when it comes to Arab Muslim Imperialism and terrorism, support your government. There is corruption in every world government....but none are more corrupt than the governments of the Arab world, and that is Kola Boof's experience as a half-Arab, Black African woman, and my opinion is just as important any other American's. BRUCE DUNNE: Who despises you the most? Arab Muslim leaders, the Nation of Islam, American media, Black American men or Bin Laden experts? KOLA BOOF:I don't know. BRUCE DUNNE: In 2004, you were able to secure about six hundred million dollars worth of guns and ammunition for Sudan's south rebel army by giving a rather powerful speech in Israel. You were also featured on Benjamin Netanyahu's web site. What exactly are your connections to Israel or the SPLA's for that matter? KOLA BOOF: Israelis and the South Sudanese are nothing alike, but we share a common enemy, a very common struggle. If it weren't for Israel we wouldn't have had food or medicine or weapons to defend our children in the South Sudan. We had no other offering of help. And, of course, as a member of the SPLA, I had to work very closely with the Israelis on behalf of my people. I would do anything for Africa. BRUCE DUNNE: Very recently, with the James Frey scandal and the debates about the integrity of memoir nowadays, how do we know that your book isn't a pack of lies, just another fabulous scheme to further your own writing career by getting rich off Bin Laden's name? KOLA BOOF: You don't know. But the fact is.....my book is true and none of it is fabricated, and for those who think otherwise, I really don't give a damn. This is my life story, my soul book. As Mary J. Blige sings....'you can hate it or love it".
Well, that's enough for me to be convinced. Nobody can dispute what she says without any proof of her so-called 'lies' themselves, considering the intellectual argument in her own defense, that she gave throughout the interview.
thought provoking, I'm going to pick this up when i get the chance. It is a good to see the varying voices in this conflict because it has and still one sided, propaganda bull-well. I know this has become the tried cliche but we need more discourse and more voices. but from this countries past history i seriously doubt anything will change. The US government will simply try to either buy off those who signify themselves as terrorist /terrorist nations or buy off the enemies to do the kill for us. Then another 3 to five years your going to have another group of people wanting to kill Americans.
What exactly are you talking about? We don't get fed this kind of information. Our mainstream news is more on the line of propaganda and sensationalist news.
Well, so far, there were only a few who supported the "war against terrorism" in the black community, now, at least among the female population in the black community, some changed their opinion: "Just another one of these rich men who should get his ass kicked because he will not marry a darkskinned black women with nappy hair". (That a muslim wouldn't marry a (then) prostitute who walks around with bare breasts during her promotion tours even if she would be snow white is secundary) I wonder how many here actually spent some time to browse through Kola Boof's forum to read her crap and those from her discipleship. She was "kidnapped" and held against her will but arrived by herself in the hotel, flattered that the hotel staff thought that she is a filmstar. Bin Laden disliked her "nappy" hair, but she is perming her hair since she was a teenager. He maltreated her but she was upset when he kicked her out and didn't ask her to marry him and the same ole same ole endless sermon about her color complex and why oh why Bin Laden prefers white women, and so on and so on ... I really don't understand how anyone can take her serious. :roll: I would rather buy a newspaper, it's cheaper and more informative.
BIN LADEN'S #1 ENEMY, KOLA BOOF, REFUSES TO BE CALLED " Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) - Fans of the Egyptian-Sudanese-American novelist and poet Kola Boof are outraged after the New York Post continued to label her a "sex slave" in the Sunday July 2nd Print Edition of their newspaper--even after Ms. Boof graciously caved in and granted an interview to the Post's Marianne Garvey, who in emails and phone exchanges, promised that the newspaper would not continue to use such blatantly disrespectful terms to describe the black woman writer. In 1996, Kola Boof was the mistress to Osama Bin Laden against her will. In a press statement released today, Kola Boof said, "I have never in my life been anyone's slave--not even Osama's, and yet I was not only referred to as a 'sex slave' after we agreed that I would not be...but no where in the article does it mention that I am a writer with seven books published in eight countries or a freedom fighter for Sudan's SPLA...I am introduced in the article as...'A woman who says'...which is a bit of nastiness they would never inflict on a white author, and then they go on to misquote me about my work on the television serial, Days of Our Lives, as The New York Post re-words my answers to several other questions and form them into their own quite stupid storyline (and HEADLINE) about me supposedly bringing a 'Bin Laden-like' character to the show, which is non-sense, because Hogan Sheffer is our Head Writer and I have not or ever said that I was creating characters or storyline for this show beyond work I already did in a Shadow Bible written in May. To add scorpions to locusts, they super-imposed Osama's head on a photo of actors Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso." "I, Kola Boof would like to say now...that since the day I have tried to tell my story in this country, I have been unfairly lied on and outrageously maligned by the press. Whether it was Connie Chung's alleged assertion that Bin laden would never have a 'black' mistress...or the New York Times and their hatchet job claiming that I didn't exist...or Black Issues Book Review telling a prominent black author that she could not review my book in their magazine because my books disturb 'middle class blacks'...and now the N.Y. Post constantly referring me to as a 'sex slave'...I have been met only with racism, snobbery and all around privileaged ignorance by the idiots who edit and write for the newspapers in the United States, and since we all know that I could give two camel humps about being popular with the mainstream--let me just put them on notice that after everything I've endured and triumphed over in my very unusual life, I'm not about to be summed up as a 'sex slave'." "I am an African woman. A mother of two. I have been acknowledged by the New York Times itself as a 'talented, groundbreaking' writer and I have given my heart and soul to the work that I did at Days of Our Lives, because I learned English watching that show as a child and I told Stephen Wyman that I wanted to help out. There is no need for people to spit on me--but if you do--then I will make it like a memory." Rumor has it that Boof's upcoming novel, The Sexy Part of the Bible, will be entered for the National Book Award by Random House. Boof owns a 30 acre ranch in California where she's raising two sons and may soon have her own cooking show. Boof's name will be added to the credits of Days of Our Lives in August.
