Looks like Al Qaeda is more scared by Obama than Bush, from
this MSNBC report:
CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri has criticized President-elect Barack Obama, calling him a demeaning racial term implying that Obama is a black American who does the bidding of whites.
In an audio message which appeared on militant Web sites Wednesday, al-Zawahri said that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X. He called Obama a "house negro."
He added that Obama's plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.
The
BBC added (ht Drudge) that the Al Qaeda leader charged Obama with apostasy, which carries the death penalty:
He also criticised Mr Obama - whose father is Muslim - for abandoning his Islamic roots.
"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand with the enemies of Muslims," he said.
Let's see if Obama does better with his vow to "stamp out" Al Qaeda than Bush did with his promise to get Bin Laden "dead or alive."
