Zawahiri hates Obama too

ABC News:

Osama bin Laden's top deputy in al Qaeda has released a new tape in which he threatens the United States and vows revenge for the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza.

"We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world," said Ayman al-Zawahiri in a new 10-minute audio recording released today on extreme Islamist Web forums.

The message is entitled "The Massacre in Gaza and the Siege of the Traitors".

Zawahiri refers directly to President-elect Barack Obama saying he has partnered with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whom Zawahiri labels as a traitor to Islam.

"What you are facing today is just occupation and settlement that is limited to one area or one country, but is part of a series in the Crusaders war against Islam," says Zawahiri. "These air strikes are a gift from Obama before he takes office, and from Hosni Mubarak, the traitor who is the primary partner in your siege and murder."

To the Palestinians he says: "Be strong and persist in the way of Jihad. The whole Muslim ummah is united with you."

...

Zawahiri exposes some of his magical thinking. The whole Muslim ummah is on the side of the Hamas death cult, but if any are not on their side, they are traitors. While logic still fails him, it is pretty clear that the election of "the One" has not changed his homicidal bent toward those who disagree with his weird religious beliefs.
