Al Qaeda Lays Out Conditions for Peace With U.S.

Al Qaeda's American-born spokesman has repeated the terror group's conditions for peace with America in a video released Sunday.

Adam Gadahn called on President Barack Obama to withdraw his troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, end support for Israel, stop intervening in the affairs of Muslims, and free Muslim prisoners.

In the second, 24-minute part of a video released in March and posted on militant websites Sunday, Gadahn said the Democrats' loss in January of the Massachusetts Senate seat underlined Mr. Obama's falling popularity.

In white robes and turban, Gadahn told Mr. Obama: "You're no longer the popular man you once were, a year ago or so."

Gadahn is wanted by the FBI since 2004, with a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

He is also known as Azzam al-Amriki, Arabic for American.

How dare you defend these savage, evil haters?

They would slash your and your children's throats if you don't comply with their forced religious views.

They don't practice freedom of religion or freedom of speech.

They practice "murder all those who don't convert to Islam" !

We could do that. If I were in command I would certainly be willing to end the wars and take all the troops home. Right after you surrender. That was easy what else? Oh yeah release all the prisoners. We did better than that. We killed them all so you would not have a refugee problem. Don't thank us, it was nothing. Would you guys like us to publish an apology letter for helping you defeat the Russians? You do hold it against us for not rebuilding your country after you and Russia destroyed it right? I really do miss Bush.

This is only a small part of the story. In his video, Adam Gadahn lays out his 'demands' and threatens the US with terrorism. For that alone he should be shot, better sooner than later.

RELIGION IS FRAUDULENT AND A WASTE OF TIME, ENERGY, RESOURCES AND LIVES!

It's true.

EVEN GOD IS ANTI-RELIGION!!!

Religion is a GRAND waste of time, and ALL the stories and fantasies that ancient MEN(not women) passed onto us by pressure, fear, guilt, force, etc, is destructive, divisive, dangerous, and as we continue to witness, deadly!

All of the forgoing notwithstanding, those such as fanatically religious;
Christian extremists
Jewish ' '
Islamic ' '

or other who use religion for violence, murder, etc - and justify it as religious duty - as a political power tool, for CONTROL, and to force their self-righteous and fraudulent holy crap beliefs onto others...

...MUST BE HUNTED DOWN WITHOUT MERCY, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EVIL WE NEED TO ERASE!
