A-Q's second in charge has claimed today on
Al-Jazeera:
Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader issued
a worldwide call Thursday for Muslims to rise up in a holy war against
Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza until Islam reigns
from "Spain to Iraq."
In the message broadcast by Al-Jazeera
television, Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command to Osama bin Laden,
said that al-Qaida now views "all the world as a battlefield open in
front of us."
The Egyptian-born physician said that the
fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and Palestinian militants would
not be ended with "cease-fires or agreements."
"It is a jihad (holy war) for the sake of God and
will last until (our) religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq,"
al-Zawahri said. "We will attack everywhere." Spain was controlled by
Arab Muslims for more than seven centuries until they were driven from
power in 1492.
I'm glad Condi and the US see it that way, we are
at war with terrorists. Al-Zawahri also said something that chimes in
on the Left and their appeasement:
He also called for the
"downtrodden" throughout the world, not just Muslims, to join the
battle against "tyrannical Western civilization and its leader,
America."
"Stand with Muslims in confronting this
unprecedented oppression and tyranny. Stand with us as we stand with
you against this injustice that was forbidden by God in his book (the
Quran)," al-Zawahri said.
Sounds familiar to me. Is he also talking about the MSM, the moonbats and liberal left who hate America too?
