CAIRO, Egypt — Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri issued a new videotape Saturday along with a man identified as an American member of the terror network, inviting Americans to convert to Islam.

The 41-minute video, posted on an Islamic militant Web site nine days before the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, had footage of al-Zawahri and a man the video identified as Adam Yehiye Gadahn, an American who the FBI believes attended Al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and served as an Al Qaeda translator.

Gadahn and al-Zawahiri did not appear together in the footage but were each featured on a split screen. Both wore white turbans and robes.

His parents must be so proud.

But if I remember, they are whackjobs themselves.

From Laura Mansfield's site:

"New As Sahab tape from Al Qaeda Invitation to Islam Released

The anticipated tape from As Sahab featuring Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri and Azzam the American entitled "Invitation to Islam" has been released in the last few minutes on the various Arabic language message boards.

We will be forwarding updates shortly as we review the tape.

The tape is 48 minutes 1 second long, and begins with Azzam the American in English introducing Zawahiri. Zawahiri speaks for approximately 4 minutes, and then introduces Azzam the American.

The segments in Arabic have English subtitles. Much of Azzam the American's portion includes Arabic subtitles.

Zawahiri specifies that this speech is directed to the American people.

The tape makes reference to the war between Israel and Lebanon."

Yup. Osama himself made the demand before the '04 election. But here is there reasoning: They know they have little to do with American politics, they know the left-wing here is going to be anti Bush no matter what they do.

One thing the terrorists love to do is to TAKE CREDIT for things. In a recent interview with some British Islamists, the guy said that the elections in Spain PROVED that Terrorism worked. So with out situation, they'll call for the ouster of Bush or whatever. When and IF the election goes badly for Bush, they'll point and say "see? We controlled them, it is a huge win for us!". This is all for recruiting purposes. If the election goes well for Bush, they just slink away as usual...

Yea, Muslims are really courteous like that. It's like offering a girl the chance to have sex with you and avoid being raped.

they would have heeded the mujahedeen's demands for justice and withdrawn from the Muslim world.

No thanks, you camel jockey subhumans can't be left unsupervised now that big oil has given you ingrates billions.

Give every Amwerican citizen 10 million dollars and we'll think about it.

There's etiquette involved?

Somehow I get an image of one of those Johnny Hart "Clams Have Legs!" strips.
