Giving her mid-show “take” on the bin Laden documents, Carlson noted the oddity of al Qaeda’s recruitment form looking like a normal job application, except with questions like “Are any of your relatives in the jihad theater? Do you wish to execute a suicide operation? Who should we contact if you become a martyr?”
However, she said, “the most sickening part is the last line: ‘Praise Allah, lord of all worlds.'”
Carlson’s take: “Nope. Not really at all.”
It seems as though the Fox host — a devout Christian — was suggesting that their God is not our God, which underscores a long-standing debate among religious scholars: Do Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship the same God? All
We know where Carlson stands on that.

UPDATE — 4:33 p.m. ET: Carlson took to Twitter to claim her take had nothing to do with Christianity, but rather, this:
Note: We transcribed Carlson’s words exactly as they were said. And you can watch the video above for yourself. If she meant to say what she claims she meant, then maybe she should have, you know… said it.

Back to Osama bin Laden because it’s time for my take. As we continue to sift through the 103 documents released today from his compound, it’s fascinating to see how the al Qaeda leader was living his life in the Pakistani compound, what he was reading and watching, his relationships with his wives and children. One weird thing stands out with regard to the al Qaeda recruitment. It turns out the al Qaeda recruitment form looks like any other job application, questions like list your previous occupation. Have you been in jail or prison? Do you have any chronic or heredity diseases? Then it gets more al Qaeda-ish. Are any of your relatives
in the jihad theater? Do you wish to execute a suicide operation? Who should we contact if you become a martyr? The most sickening part is the last line: “Praise Allah, lord of all worlds.” Nope. Not really at all.
