al-Zawahri Calls for Holy War Against Israel

Source: Yahoo! News

Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader issued a worldwide call in a new videotape released Thursday for Muslims to rise up in a holy war against Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza until Islam reigns from "Spain to Iraq."

In the message broadcast by Al-Jazeera television, Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command to Osama bin Laden, said that al-Qaida now views "all the world as a battlefield open in front of us."

The Egyptian-born physician said that the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and Palestinian militants would not be ended with "cease-fires or agreements."

Does it get any freakin' clearer than this? Or this:

"My fellow Muslims, it is obvious that Arab and Islamic governments are not only impotent but also complicit ... and you are alone on the battlefield. Rely on God and fight your enemies ... make yourselves martyrs."

*SNIP*

"The shells and rockets ripping apart Muslim bodies in Gaza and Lebanon are not only Israeli (weapons), but are supplied by all the countries of the crusader coalition. Therefore, every participant in the crime will pay the price," al-Zawahri said.

Seems clear to me. Crystal.

To all you lefties out there who would vote to establish Hug-a-Terrorist Day, and who are willing -- nay, EAGER -- to sink into a state of dhimmitude: COUNT ME OUT.

I pray for peace daily. I also pray for justice.

Unfortunately, you don't always get the two at the same time.
