Purported Al-Zarqawi Tape Declares War on Democracy
Sunday, January 23, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A speaker purporting to be Iraq's most feared terror leader declared a "fierce war" on democracy and said in an audiotape posted Sunday on the Web that the Americans were using next weekend's Iraqi elections to install the Shiites in power.
"We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology," said the speaker, who identified himself as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (search), head of the Al Qaeda (search) affiliate in Iraq. "Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it."
The speaker said candidates running in the Jan. 30 elections are "demi-idols" and those who vote for them "are infidels." U.S. and Iraqi officials fear insurgent attacks and have announced massive security measures to protect voters.
"You have to be careful of the enemy's plan to implement so-called democracy in your country," he added. He said the Americans have engineered the election "to make Shiites dominate the regime in Iraq. Four million Shiites were brought from Iran to take part in the elections to achieve their aim of winning" most of the positions.

The authenticity of the tape could not be determined but the voice appeared to be that of al-Zarqawi. It was the second voice tape posted on Islamic Web sites this week purporting to be al-Zarqawi, responsible for numerous car-bombings and beheadings foreign and Iraqi hostages over the past months.

IF there are any good Muslims, Let THEM identify, fight, and destroy the bad ones. Otherwise I lump them into one great band of evil.
I'm ready.
"fierce war" on democracy
This has been tried before. And with a notable LACK of success I might add.
Is it a war on Islam yet?
Me and George Bush say no.
OBL and Al-Zarqawi say yes.
Which side do you want to be on?
If someone declares war on you, and you don't respond, you run the risk of looking like Chamberlain.
Thank you, Abu. We have a hard time convincing some people as to why it's necessary to be in Iraq. You just helped us immeasurably. Keep talking.
You're wasting your time with these idiots. Nothing short of genocide will satisfy the "One Billion Muslims Have a Homogeneous Culture and Identical Opinions" crowd on here.
Well everybody should have a hobby. :-)
You need to understand: We are at war with terrorists, not a religion. Trying to make it into a war against Islam will only strengthen our foes.
Terrorism is a tactic.
In World War II, were we at war with the tactic of the Blitzkreig, or the people of Germany?
In the Pacific, in World War II, were we at war with the tactic of Kamakaze, or the people of Japan?
This is a low-grade World War III. We are not at war with the tactic of terrorism, but with the people of radical Islam.
At least you're now admitting it is not all Islam, but "radical Islam." That's a start.
........and the silence from the collective Media-organs of the assembled neaderthalic, totalitarian, degenerate Muslim world (.....as well as supposed "Humanitarian" organizations like the UN) is deafening.
This would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic.
When the nonRadicals steadfastly refuse to differentiate themselves from the jihadis then there is no practical difference.The nonradicals sêm to be turning into radicals and most voice approval of the jihadis as people who are willing to truly walk the Walk while the rest have not the heart for it. yet.
