Cairo, Asharq Al-Awsat- The Egyptian Islamist movement Jamaat Islamiya has called for Al Qaeda to adopt a four-month truce and to cease any operations against the United States, the West and other countries, as they await “the fair, practical stances of the new American president.”

(This four month truce must coincide with the four month period that Obama requested a hold on trials at Guantanamo)

More of the story below: but, the whole link is worth reading...

Derbala called upon the Al Qaeda leadership to extend its hand in peace. He said, “What harm would it cause if you told Obama what you want and you said: we extend our hand in peace based on common interests and achieving good for humankind. We extend our hand for the sake of peace and achieving independence for Iraq and Afghanistan. We extend our hand for the sake of peace and realizing the hopes of our Islamic nations so that we can live under Islamic rule in accordance with our creed based on the rules of Sharia that we cherish and defend.”

According to the Jamaat Islamiya statement, there were other conditions for peace between the Al Qaeda organization and the United States: “the fair demands of our Ummah in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Bosnia and Kosovo,” and “the release of prisoners such as Dr Omar Abdul Rahman,” and that “America abandons it policy of double standards with regards to the Islamic world and its bias towards Israel,” as well it “[working towards] achieving communication between civilizations and not clashes
