Al-Qaida's No. 2 decries moderate Arabs
OMAR SINAN
Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt - The deputy leader of al-Qaida accused moderate Arab leaders
of being traitors for cooperating with the United States and its allies in a
taped message posted on militant Web sites Saturday.

Ayman al-Zawahri lashed out at Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and his
Fatah movement, saying "they cannot be brothers to the Muslims, but they
are their enemies."

-snip-

In his message, Osama bin Laden's deputy also denounced other Arab leaders
including U.S. ally Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

"I greet my brothers inside the prisons of Mubarak, the traitor," he said in an
apparent in reference to recent arrests and detentions of several members
of Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.

Al-Zawahri had harsh words for Saudi Arabia, charging the kingdom's government
orders its citizens "to serve the crusader's forces that bomb Muslims in
Afghanistan and Iraq, and that orders them to recognize Israel and give away
Palestine."

1. To Al-Zawahri
I'm a Muslim. But I'm opposed to all the violence and terrorism that take place "in the name of Allah and Islam".
Does that make me a Zionist traitor, Al-Zawahri? Or are you just full of :puke:?

Geez Reagan, did you REALLY have to fund those idiots?

2. That would make you part of the majority of muslims.
According to the organization, World Public Opinion, an overwhelming majority of Pakistanis have a negative view of jihad, and 94% of Iraqi's have a negative opinion of Al Queda.

Check out the website, the opinions of people in the Middle-East is so different from the picture that has been painted for us here in the U.S.

3. Re: Majority
94%? Now THAT'S a vast majority.
Not like Dubya going "a vast majority of my tax cuts go to the poor", while they go to people with more money than Paraguay.
