A new message purportedly from Osama bin Laden condemns European countries for siding with the U-S in Afghanistan.
The message also blasts European Union nations for allowing the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed.
The speaker on the audiotape says mocking Islam's founder violates -quote- "The etiquettes of dispute and fighting."
The tape has not been independently verified.
Bin Laden's last public statement was issued in December.
