CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites. The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader. In al-Qaida's first response to Obama's victory, al-Zawahri also called the president-electâalong with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Riceâ"house negroes." Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slaves." But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as "house negroes." The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites. The 11-minute 23-second video features the audio message by al-Zawahri, who appears only in a still image, along with other images, including one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap as he meets with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a Nov. 5 U.S. airstrike attack in Afghanistan, meaning the video was made after that date. Al-Zawahri said Obama's election has not changed American policies he said are aimed at oppressing Muslims and others. "America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always," the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said. He said Obama's plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist. "Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them," he said. Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was "facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see." He said Obama's victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush's policies were a failure and that the result was an "admission of defeat in Iraq." But Obama's professions of support for Israel during the election campaign "confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahri said.
If those IslamoFascist Terror Assclown 9th century tribal ignoramuses decide to take Obama to task for converting from Islam to Christianity, he's in for a ride. There is a death sentence for that. Personally I would argue that Liberation Theology is not really Christianity and get Obama off on that one........ maybe get the charge reduced to burka peeking or something..
Well, Al-Qaida isn't real and only exists in the feeble minds of scared Americans. So, I suppose it's a fake insult. Does anyone ever wonder how the media is able to get these "messages" from Al-Qaida? Telepathy? FedEx International? Or are they sent to AP via e-mail? What gives?
Well now that they have dared to call King Obama a negro they have just gone too far. I mean I was a little alarmed when they started killing our soldiers in Somalia and Yemen Harbor, but I mean they signed up to die in the Military, so how bad can you feel? Then they went and took a couple of jetliners and flew them into a few buildings in NY, but I mean imagine how many polar bears they might have saved, so to me that one is just a wash. They beheaded a few people in Iraq, but again they were just soldiers, and they knew what they were getting into when they volunteered to be killers for our army. But now, Man they called Obama a negro!!! I'm pissed. I say kill all those dirty racist motherfuckers right now! Go get em, no fuckin cave is safe now man!!!!
It'll be interesting to see how many voters from the hood gonna put a cap in Ayman al-Zawahri ass for dissin our President.
Perhaps he thought Obama was as simple minded and quick to anger and taken off his game as easily was Bush. Al-Qaida is very little without an angry pursuing enemy. And they know this.
I think this is a good development and a very bad move by al queda. If al queda stayed out of the picture and played nice for a few years they would have had time to rebuild. To me this must indicate al queda is has some problems. vodka must be right
