Zawahiri To Obama: "You Are Not Welcome in Egypt"

Al Qaeda Statement
(As Sahab)
Al Qaeda No. 2, Ayman Zawahiri said in a new audiotape today that President Obama is not welcome in Egypt. Commenting on Obama's upcoming visit to Cairo, Zawahiri said that President Obama's message to the Muslim World has already been delivered.

"Obama's message to the Muslim World was delivered when he visited the Wailing wall, with the Jewish skullcap on his head…when he performed the Jewish prayers despite claiming that he is Christian," Zawahiri said, reminding his audience of Obama's pledge before the AIPAC conference to make Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel.

The al Qaeda deputy chief accused Obama of approving the "Zionist aggression on Gaza," of sending more troops to Afghanistan and continuing to bomb tribal areas of Pakistan, and of leading the "brutal campaign" against Muslims in the Swat valley. He said the Obama administration's message to the Muslim world can be seen in the continued use of secret prisons and the breach of the Geneva conventions regarding terror detainees.

"Obama's bloodied messages have reached and are still reaching Muslims, and they shall not be masked by the PR campaigns, the theatrical visits and the courteous words," Zawahiri said.

"As for his choice of Turkey and Egypt to be the places from which to address the Muslim world as he claims, well, this choice holds another indication that simply says that the kind of Muslims the Crusader Americans would be pleased with are those who abandon Islam and embrace secularism, those who acknowledge Israel, conclude security agreements with it, and take part in its military drills."

President Obama had visited Ankara last April and delivered a speech before the Turkish Parliament where he pledged to strengthen ties with the Muslim world.

Zawahiri directed part of his criticism at the Egyptian regime, accusing it of further tightening the blockade imposed on Palestinians in Gaza, and accusing Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak of grooming his elder son, Jamal, to succeed him as President," in order to maintain the corruption and the reliance on America, the Crusaders and the Jews."

Zawahiri, who previously called President Obama "a house negro" upon his election in December, said that only the corrupt "butchers and tyrants" of Egypt would welcome President Obama there, but not the sincere honest Egyptians. "The honorable people of Egypt despise Obama and consider him an international criminal, and an arriviste politician who serves the Zionist cause in order to get promoted to the highest levels of government."

He concluded his message by urging Egyptians not to welcome the US President in Egypt. "O' free and honorable people of Egypt, O' pious and Mujahids of Egypt, stand in one rank in the face of this criminal who came to try and obtain by ruse, what he failed to obtain in the battlefield, especially after the Mujahideens have foiled the American plots in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia."

Zawahiri's statement runs over nearly 12 minutes, and is entitled: "Egypt's Slayers and the Agents of America Welcome Obama."

I noticed the Pope doing the same thing at the Wailing Wall when he was there. I suppose that means the Pope isn't a Christian.

I did'nt see that but if he did it was the wrong move, but the wailing wall does have to do with christianity, so maybe Berry Soetoro was'nt all wrong, but he should have done it sans Yalmuka. Also I did view photos and video of Berry donning Islamic headware and garb and praying to Allaha. I just wish the genius would make up his mind about what he is and own it. I guess drinking too much koolaid will do that to you.

Hey, Jesus_Christ_Is_Lord,

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." [Separation of Church and State] First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Game, set and match...take your fanaticism somewhere else.

How many times did we hear from the stupid gullible liberals and democrats that Bush policy is the REASON why Americans are hated by the likes of this nut and Osama bin Laden. Then they said that when Obama becomes president that would cease.

Bush was the best recruiting tool Al Qaeda ever had. You rightists were the only ones proclaiming that we'd be friends with them once Obama won because Obama's a Muslim. No liberal said anything of the sort, including Obama himself. You all really are a bunch of idiots you know.

Let's not forget that Hilarry told us that there was no longer a war on terror.

That is true in name only, The name 'terror' has been given a code-name (religion in all forms). Prove me wrong.

This Zwahiri guy is a giant NUT CASE, but you do have to ask yourself, 1. Why was Berry Soetoro wearing a skull cap and wailing at the wailing wall when he claims "to be a christian" 2. Why did he practice Islam and then reform to chrisitianity?. This guy is the biggest flip flopper, slick talker that I have yet to see, ne needs to make up his mind a stick with one. He reminds me of a kid I knew growing up he changed his personality traits and beliefe system depending on whom he was with at the time. Sheer genius.

Jesus_Christ_is_Lord and Zawahiri could be kissin' cousins. Both driven by implacable theologies, both completely willing to sacrifice the blood of other people to demonstrate their faith.

Jesus sacrificed with his own blood. I really feel for you and jmcgilvray who have no idea what you have said.

His message is very true. Intelligent and educated ones should pick this up with less effort.

Actions speak louder than words. More and people are being killed, burned, mutilated and maimed under the false pretense of fighting "militants," by the "anegl of peace." There are more people displaced from their homes due to US meddling than one can recall in history.

US supports thuggish and corrupted governments such as those in Egypt, Afghanistan and Pakistan, while people are sufferring tremendously. Therefore, their anger towards US is legit. US erects and supports such govts. as long as those govts. can be used as puppet. Almost all individual in that world know that very well.

Moreover, just say death to America, but dare not say anything to Zionist state because even the US president will fight back to save the ever faltering Zionist state.

In my opinion, this is exactly "you" would have though if you were to reverse your role for a second. That is no rocket science...... wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!
