Zawahiri says his offer puts him at risk from radical Islamists, but says he is not acting from weakness or for personal gain.
His six-page proposal offers a 10-year truce if the following terms are met. In brief they are:
• U.S. and West to stop intervening in Muslim lands
• U.S. to stop interfering in Muslim education
• U.S. to end the war on Islam
• U.S. to release all Islamist prisoners.
The document also calls on Islamists to change their behavior too:
• Stop attacks on Western and U.S. interests
• Protect legitimate Western and U.S. interests in Muslim lands
• Stop provoking the U.S. and the West
Seems a bit early for the October Surprise but it wouldn’t shock me if Obama goes to the table.
My guess is that both parties would not consider Israel a Western or US interest.
Ten year truce...
Release all held terrorists...
About all this means to me, is that during this time Islamists could infiltrate the West in ever increasing numbers. Then what?
Oh yeah, then they could take our infrastructure down in ten minutes. Sounds like a fantastic idea.
Where to we sign... /s
I would also like to ask that all Muslims leave western countries and all mosques in western countries be torn down.
Thank you
Google "hudna". Under Islam, if the Muslims are weak, they are allowed to offer a cease-fire, of no more than ten years, to allow themselves to get into a better condition to attack. On the Muslim side, they are allowed to abrogate the treaty the moment they feel they are strong enough to attack.
