The trouble with running a war in which you measure success by how many of your own people are killed, is that eventually you run out of your own people.
Al-Qaeda number two* Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.
Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel.
“I call upon the Muslim nation to fear Allah’s question (at judgement day) about its failure to support its brothers of the Mujahedeen (holy Warriors), and (urge it) not to withhold men and money, which is the mainstay of a war,“ he said.
He also used the two-and-a-half hour message to urge Muslims to join militant groups, mainly in Iraq, where he claimed that the insurgency against the Iraqi government and the US-led coalition forces is bearing fruit.
“I urge all Muslims to hurry to the battlefields of Jihad (holy war), especially in Iraq,“ Zawahiri said in the message, the second in a two-part series to answer about 100 questions put to him via online militant forums.» Al Qaeda chief slams Muslims for lack of support
Does that sound like somebody who’s winning a Clash of Civilizations™?
*Huh-huh-huh! He’s number two. Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!
