American al Qaeda figure Adam Gadahn accused U.S. President Barack Obama of standing behind the killing of Muslims in Palestine, Afghanistan and Pakistan in a new videotape produced by the terrorist group’s media arm As Sahab.

“O’ nation of Islam, you have seen the truth about Obama in the Gaza Holocaust which he approved of, and in Muslim Palestine which he wants to turn Jewish and in Afghanistan and in the tribal areas which he bombed and is still bombing,” Gadahn said.

He also criticized Obama’s plan to send more troops to Afghanistan, saying it was going to result in “increasing the spilling of Muslim blood.”

Like al Qaeda leader’s Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahri, Gadahn urged his audience not to fall for Obama’s talk about his respect for Islam, warning them that this was just an attempt to steer Muslims away from jihad.

Gadahn described Obama’s remarks during his visit to Turkey, which included saying that the U.S. was not at war with Islam, as “deceptive, false and sugar-coated words of endearment” intended to “divert the eyes of the world in general and Muslims in particular from the ugly and continuous crimes of the crusaders in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and other lands of Islam.”

The militant Afghani Taliban movement warned the Pope that if he did not stop the Christian preaching activities undertaken by the U.S. army in Afghanistan he should expect to see “harsh reactions from angry Afghan Muslims.”

The statement, which was posted on the Internet, condemned what the group described as “a continuation of the Crusaders launched by Bush in Afghanistan” and comes after the Arab news network , Aljazeera broadcasted footage showing U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan being instructed by a military chaplain to "hunt people for Jesus" and spread Christianity amongst the Afghan population.

The group also appealed to scholars in Afghanistan to monitor such activities and disallow the preaching of other religions in the country.

The East Turkistan Islamic Party released a video statement by “Commander Abdullah Mansour.”

In the video, which was released in Uighur language, Mansour warned governments against arresting and extraditing Turkistanis to China.

His warning comes following Pakistani media reports suggesting that nine members of the East Turkistan Islamic Party had been arrested and handed over to China. Mansour dismissed the report and threatened that the party would retaliate against any government that arrests party members.

Abdullah Mansour is the same commander who declared war on China in a video tape released last August. He then warned that the group would be targeting the Olympic Games in Beijing, and asked Muslims not to go to the games.

“Please beware. This man, Abi Khaled, is thought to be working with some governments. He is known for being a con, for stealing Muslim people’s money while pretending to be a good man, but in fact he’s handed some of the brothers to the Syrian government,” said the message posted on the website.

A radical Australian Shi’a cleric called “Sheikh Haron” warned that Australians will be punished for endorsing the execution of the three Bali bombers on Sunday. Sheikh Haron’s statement was read out by his spokesperson “Sister Amirah,” a 28 year old Australian convert to Islam, and posted on the Internet yesterday.

“I promise you that Australia will be attacked. I promise you that Australians will be hurt. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd I swear to God that Muslims will attack Australia,” the spokeswoman said the spokeswoman on the 8-minute video.

There’s little information available on Sheikh Haron. He presents himself as “Australian Muslim Cleric Ayatollah Manteghi Boroujerdi,” but there are doubts amongst Muslim leaders in Australia about his true identity and whether he is deliberately stirring anti-Islamic sentiment.
