New Al-Qaeda Head Urges Libyans to Create…An Islamic State

CAIRO (The Blaze/AP) — Osama bin Laden‘s successor has issued a number of warnings and recommendations to Libya’s rebel fighters who overthrew Moammar Gadhafi. Aside from calling on them to set up an Islamic state, Ayman al-Zawahri also urged Algerians to revolt against their longtime president in a new Internet video posted on Wednesday.
Al-Zawahri warned Libyan revolutionaries to protect their gains against “Western plots,” claiming NATO will demand they give up their Islamic faith as the country sets up a new government.
“The first thing NATO will ask you to do, is to give up your Islam and not to implement Islamic Sharia law,” al-Zawahri said “They want the nonreligious and the atheists who don’t accept Sharia to rule the Islamic world.”
The 13-minute video entitled “And the defeats of Americans continue” was released by al-Qaida’s media arm and surfaced on militant websites. It shows al-Zawahri, wearing a white robe and turban, sitting against a green backdrop. Watch it, below:
Al-Zawahri also urged Algerians to revolt against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika and follow the examples of Arab uprisings that toppled the autocratic rulers in Egypt and Tunisia.
“Why don’t you revolt against your tyranny, Algerian lions,” al-Zawahri asked.
The Blaze reported back in June that al-Zawahri, a doctor from a prominent Egyptian family who worked with Osama bin Laden for decades, was selected to take the helm of the radical terrorist group.
Al-Qaida has long opposed the regimes of autocratic Arab leaders the terror group views as godless, corrupt and too closely allied with the United States, and has called for the establishment of Islamic rule to replace their regimes.
However, the Arab Spring uprisings have largely been driven by those calling for freedom, human rights and democracy. Still, al-Qaida leaders have been attempting to associate themselves with the movement. Their continued messaging adds fuel to fears that radical movements may work their way into fragile, post-revolutionary governments.
As we reported, al-Zawahri previously released a video marking the Sept. 11 anniversary, in which he sought to claim credit for this year’s Arab uprisings, saying the 2001 attacks on the United States paved the way for the “Arab volcano” sweeping the region a decade later. Here’s another video he released earlier this year:
In the most recent video, al-Zawahri also praised an August militant attack in southern Israel, when gunmen crossed from Egypt and killed eight Israelis near a Red Sea resort.

Posted on October 13, 2011 at 6:39amObama should be strung up by his nutz – for his use of US Military action in Lybia – without the knowledge or consent of our US Congress.
Obama planned this with The Muslim Brotherhood – when he demanded President Mubarack to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to be in attendance for his speech in Cairo, Egypt – in 2009 – addressing the Aran and Muslim world -
when The Muslim Brotherhood had been banned fro Egypt for DECADES because of the violent acts of Terrorism.
Thanks Barack HUSSEIN Obama!!! I hope yr soul rots in hell.

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 9:23pmI’m reading a new book by Rev. Perry Stone about end times prophesied in the Bible. He points out verses in Daniel that say the Antichrist will first take over Egypt and Libya then Ethiopia. So I’m not surprised about what we see going down in both Egypt and Libya.

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 9:11pmHas anyone noticed that all of these revolutions that the pres praised are ending up in going to sharia law? Have you wondered why we are starting down the same path with OWS? If your a woman, gay or any other religion even atheists will all be killed. If you a woman and not a virgin you will be killed. If you are a member of the government you will be the first to be killed no room for two parties. I can’t believe no one is putting this together. So grab your guns stock up on ammo cause there is millions that want to kill us. Thats alot of bullets.

Posted on October 12, 2011 at 7:06pmGadhafi has not been over thrown yet, oh no no no, he has just been displaced- and unless they capture or kill him – Libya is still his and his to take back- the guy is the master at survival- absolute master – and if they don’t find him soon – he will be back, bigger and stronger- they have been seizing Gadhafi’s last strong holds for months, and every time they take the town another town pops up- and its always the last one left- somethings not right. — Oh and don‘t think Iran isn’t helping his buddy. Do you really think Iran likes what they see with all these uprisings.

I am a bit fuzzy on all of this, were those Copts in Egypt not aware that they were protesting in a High-Speed Armored Personnel Carrier Parking Space?
So Muslims Killing Christians, Commies Killing their Parents ( the Capitalists), Corporately owned Workers kill Owners of Production Capital (Governments), and the Lawyer and Academic Aristocracies keep selling their diseased thought and Legislation.
