Osama Bin Laden’s mistress, a topless womanist

Kola Boof claims that she was Osama Bin Laden’s mistress in the mid-1990s. In her book Boof reveals juicy details about Bin Laden’s sexual and cultural predilections.

From a Harper's excerpt I learned that Boof’s Al Qaeda boy toy made her dance naked to Van Halen; he didn’t know the difference between being vicious and being tender (shock!); he enjoyed hitting the hookah before sex; his favorite TV shows were The Wonder Years, Miami Vice, and MacGyver; and he adored Whitney Houston so much, he wanted to give her a mansion in Khartoum.

I believe it all. Sure, there are skeptics who doubt her story just because of minor details like the fact that she claims she performed sex acts on a group that included Bin Laden and several of his lieutenants, some of whom were dead or in prison at the time.

Like I said, details, details.

Guess I’m a sucker for an African womanist who proudly poses topless on her web site. She says that publicity and vanity have nothing to do with it.

Rather, Boof explains, “"I am topless to honor my mothers and grandmothers, my own African womenfolk who were always bare breasted in the sun and who gave birth to this whole world.”

I definitely can get behind her religion (in front of it too). She writes:

They [her relatives] were naked because it pleases God…and I do believe that it's an abomination against God for any woman's breasts to be covered. So I have it written in my book contracts that I must appear topless on the back covers of my books. I also do it because it's not Christian and it's not Islamic. I truly want to plant a seed in favor of women creating their own institution of religion, because that's all religions are-institutions.

Ms. Boof, if you start up a religion where all the women are topless in church, sign me up as the first male convert. I’ll be happy to hold the collection plate as the worshippers pass by. With my eyes humbly cast downward, of course.

From her website... I'm not sure "mistress" is the right word:

By 1998, news of the book's anti-Islam, anti-Arab, PRO-AFRICA stance reached the ear of terrorist Osama Bin Laden...who in 1996...had been Kola Boof's lover (a relationship in Morocco that she says was against her will and lasted only 6 months). Bin Laden contacted Boof in 1998 regarding her controversial book and told her: "If I had the time to waste. ..I would come and slit your throat myself."

Kari, I saw an interview with Boof on MSNBC yesterday and she was adamant about being called Bin Laden's "mistress." The woman who interviewed her tried to term her a "sex slave."

Boof didn't like being called a slave. She also said that the sex ended up being consensual (even though she supposedly was kept against her will--one of the numerous contradictions in her story).

When Bin Laden was away, Boof said that she ran the household and had a servant. In her mind that justified her claim to mistress status.
