Obama at Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, July 24th 2008
- Some are still concerned about the birthplace of Obama, the soon-to-be President-Elect: He is NOT ‘President-Elect’ until the electoral college meetings of December 1st. By that date Obama must respond to the Writ of Certiorari following the recent Berg v Obama case, which hinged on the question of Obama’s place of birth. He is “compelled to provide a vault copy of his original birth certificate to The Supreme Court.” Well, we’ll see. Then, after 15th December, he is officially President-Elect.
- Black Conservatives denounce racial slur of Obama by Al Qaeda: “Liberals fail to grasp the reality that Muslim extremists such as al-Zawahiri hate them just as much as they hate the rest of America. At the very least, his crazed diatribe should prove this very point. I hope it jolts the incoming administration into reality. Being President isn’t like playing senator or being a community organizer – it is about protecting the American people. That cannot be done without a strong military and the backbone to make decisions that might be unpopular among his friends.”

WATCH IT, OBAMA! AND WATCH OBAMA, SAYS AQ CHIEF
Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Osama Bin-Laden’s second-in-command warns Obama, America and the rest of us:
“And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them.”
“And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning “House Negroes” are confirmed.”
Al-Qaeda leader talks about Obama’s victory (English sub-titles)
This video includes film of Obama wearing a skull cap in a synagogue. Also, interspersed with the video is archive film reference to Malcolm X, aka “Malik al-Shabazz”, said by Zawahiri to be a black Muslim convert, These video elements are not referred to in the published online transcripts, so I am as yet unsure whether AQ are YouTube savvy or if this video has been made up from the original plus additions. Whether it has ben edited or not by a YouTuber, Malcolm X is referred to by Zawahiri in the original transcript (read below), and here the black power leader is shown saying that“once new bridges have been built between Africa and America … why there’s nothing that this blue-eyed man in this country will be able to do to you and me successfully from that day onward.” And -
“There is a worldwide revolution going on against an international western power structure”.
All new stuff is it – this ‘well-deserved’ hatred of the west by fundamentalist, racist Islamists? All happened after Bush’s response to 9/11, did it? Open your eyes folks. Malcolm X was talking this way over 40 years ago, and he had a following then inside and outside of America. Bush’s only mistake, and that of earlier presidents, was that it took until 9/11 for the world to wake up and start to deal with it. Liberty’s Lifeline shares these thoughts with me. My hope is that before long many more of us will understand this truth. The REAL truth.
Malcom X, Zawahiri’s hero, was assassinated in 1965 at the age of 39
A quick resume in case you can’t be bothered reading the rest of this regurgitated rubbish:
Al-Zawahiri has 6 messages in his latest video/audio:
- First, he congratulates the Muslim Ummah on the “American people’s admission of defeat in Iraq.”
- Secondly, he tells Obama that a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits him, and that he is a facing a “Jihadi awakening and renaissance”, even as his government and country refuse to recognize it.
- Thirdly, to the Muslim Ummah – “we must continue to harm America.”
- Fourthly, to the “lions of Islam”, the Mujahideen … be firm and resolute.
- Fifthly, to all the world’s weak and oppressed – America’s heart is full of hate, as usual [yawn ... excuse me].
- Last, to the American people – “you ignored the actions of ‘Bush and his gang’, while ignoring the message of Shaykh Usama bin Ladin (may Allah preserve him). So choose for yourself and bear the consequences”.
NOW MR OBAMA COMES FACE-TO-FACE WITH REALPOLITIK
If you cheered to the high heavens when Barrack Obama was elected America’s 44th, and 1st black president, partly on the grounds that the glass ceiling had been shattered and that in itself was going to make a difference, you are about to have your innocent little eyes opened.
The enemies of freedom, the west and democratic peoples everywhere, black, white or rainbow coloured, now have another weapon with which to brainwash the gullible. America now has a non-white, non-Islamic “traitor to Islam”, who did not follow his father’s religion. This usually means a fate worse than … well, you know the rest.
The world’s racist bigots are NOT in the USA or the western world. In the west we have historically, some would say foolishly, had an open-door policy to all, allowing all incomers freedom to worship as they choose and to participate fully in our democracies.
The racists, who hate and wish to destroy those of us who do not worship their fundamentalist politicised religious creed are CLEARLY inside such murderous scum outfits as Al Qaeda.
Today, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Al-Qaeda deputy to Osama bin-Laden accused US President-elect Barrack Obama of betraying his Muslim roots. At the same time he has called on Muslims to harm what he describes as “criminal” America.
Here follows the transcript translation of his message, from Fox News:
In the Name of Allah, and all Praise is due to Allah, and Prayers and Peace on the Messenger of Allah and on his family, Companions and allies.
Muslim brothers everywhere: Peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah and His blessings. As for what comes after:
Barack Obama has won the presidency of the United States of America, and on this occasion, I would like to send several messages.
First, a message of congratulations to the Muslim Ummah on the American people’s admission of defeat in Iraq. Although the evidence of America’s defeat in Iraq appeared years ago, Bush and his administration continued to be stubborn and deny the brilliant midday sun. If Bush has achieved anything, it is in his transfer of America’s disaster and predicament to his successor. But the American people, by electing Obama, declared its anxiety and apprehension about the future towards which the policy of the likes of Bush is leading it, and so it decided to support someone calling for withdrawal from Iraq.
The second of these messages is to the new president of the United States. I tell him: you have reached the position of president, and a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits you. A failure in Iraq to which you have admitted, and a failure in Afghanistan to which the commanders of your army have admitted. The other thing to which I want to bring your attention is that what you’ve announced about how you’re going to reach an understanding with Iran and pull your troops out of Iraq to send them to Afghanistan is a policy which was destined for failure before it was born. It appears that you don’t know anything about the Muslim Ummah and its history, and the fate of the traitors who cooperated with the invaders against it, and don’t know anything about the history of Afghanistan and its free and defiant Muslim people. And if you still want to be stubborn about America’s failure in Afghanistan, then remember the fate of Bush and Pervez Musharraf, and the fate of the Soviets and British before them. And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them.
As for the crimes of America which await you, it appears that you continue to be captive to the same criminal American mentality towards the world and towards the Muslims. The Muslim Ummah received with extreme bitterness your hypocritical statements to and stances towards Israel, which confirmed to the Ummah that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims.
You represent the direct opposite of honorable black Americans like Malik al-Shabazz, or Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him). You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America. And so you promised to back Israel, and you threatened to strike the tribal regions in Pakistan, and to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan, in order for the crimes of the American Crusade in it to continue. And last Monday, your aircraft killed 40 Afghan Muslims at a wedding party in Kandahar. As for Malik al-Shabazz (may Allah have mercy on him), he was born to a black pastor killed by white bigots, but Allah favored him with guidance to Islam, and so he prided himself on his fraternity with the Muslims, and he condemned the crimes of the Crusader West against the weak and oppressed, and he declared his support for peoples resisting American occupation, and he spoke about the worldwide revolution against the Western power structure.
That’s why it wasn’t strange that Malik al-Shabazz (may Allah have mercy on him) was killed, while you have climbed the rungs of the presidency to take over the leadership of the greatest criminal force in the history of mankind and the leadership of the most violent Crusade ever against the Muslims.
And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning “House Negroes” are confirmed.
You also must appreciate, as you take over the presidency of America during its Crusade against Islam and Muslims, that you are neither facing individuals nor organizations, but are facing a Jihadi 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.
As for the third message, it is to the Muslim Ummah. I tell it: America, the criminal, trespassing Crusader, continues to be the same as ever, so we must continue to harm it, in order for it to come to its senses, because its criminal, expansionist Crusader project in your lands has only been neutralized by the sacrifices of your sons, the Mujahideen. This, then, is the path, so stick to it.
As for the fourth message, it is to the lions of Islam, the Mujahideen. I tell them: may Allah reward you in the best way for your historic heroics, which have ruined America’s plans and rendered its projects ineffective. So be firm and resolute. Your enemy’s stagger has begun, so don’t stop hitting him.
And I say to my brothers the Mujahideen in Iraq in general and the Islamic State of Iraq in particular, and to its Amir, the towering mountain Abu ‘Umar al-Baghdadi: your enemy has admitted defeat, and the forthcoming stage is expected to be dominated by conspiracies and betrayals in order to cover the American withdrawal, so you must persevere, for victory is in an hour of perseverance.
And I tell my brothers, the lions of Islam in Somalia: rejoice in victory and conquest. America is gathering its wounds in Iraq, and Ethiopia is looking for a way out, and for this reason, the stage of conspiracies and machinations has begun. So hold tightly to the truth for which you have given your lives, and don’t put down your weapons before the Mujahid state of Islam and Tawheed has been set up in Somalia.
And I tell all Mujahideen everywhere: the Hubal of the age has begun to falter and recede, and Allah has granted you success and honored you by making you the most important cause of that, so be resolute on the path of Jihad until you meet your Lord while He is pleased with you.
And my fifth message is to all the world’s weak and oppressed. I tell them: 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. And the Mujahideen of Islam, by the grace of Allah, continue to be the spearhead of the resistance against it to restrain it from injustice, aggression and arrogance.
As for my final message, it is to the American people. I tell it: you incurred defeat and losses from the foolish actions of Bush and his gang, and at the same time, Shaykh Usama bin Ladin (may Allah preserve him) sent you a message to withdraw from the lands of the Muslims and refrain from stealing their treasures and interfering in their affairs. So choose for yourself whatever you like, and bear the consequences of your choice, and as you judge, you will be judged.
And our final prayer is that all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace on our Master Muhammad and his family and Companions.
The BBC Report with audio of Al-Zawahiri
In a message purportedly from Ayman al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda deputy accused US President-elect Barack Obama of betraying his Muslim roots.
He likened him to a “house slave” – who had chosen to align himself with the “enemies” of Islam.
Mr Obama has said stamping out al-Qaeda “once and for all” will be a top priority during his administration.
On Sunday, he said capturing or killing Osama Bin Laden was “critical” to US security.
He has also promised to bolster the US presence in Afghanistan – a policy that would fail, said the al-Qaeda deputy.
The US said the message did not signal any increased threat against America.
This is undoubtedly a message aimed at sustaining anti-American sentiment among Muslims in the face of Barack Obama’s election, says the BBC’s defence correspondent Rob Watson.
But it is a risky approach, our correspondent says.
Barack Obama is hugely popular world-wide and his colour and background make him a much tougher target to attack than President George W Bush in the eyes of a global audience, he says.
‘Trespassing crusader’
Zawahiri, an Egyptian by birth, is often referred to as Osama Bin Laden’s right-hand man and the chief ideologue of al-Qaeda.
The audio message, which ran with photographic stills and some video footage, appeared on militant websites.
Mr Obama’s election did not mean that US policy towards the Muslim world had changed, Ayman al-Zawahiri said, according to the 11-minute message.
He warned Mr Obama of failure if he followed the policies of the Bush administration.
CAIR says ‘Zawahiri does not speak for us’
A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today condemned threatening rhetoric and racial slurs contained in a new video by Ayman al-Zawahri and said Al-Qaida’s second-in-command does not speak for Muslims in America or worldwide.

The hope and change that some people voted for may come under the category, “Be Careful What You Wish For”. Bush has been lambasted for seven years for keeping America safe. It is scary to think of what will happen when we drop our guard.
