Al-Qaeda video says U.S. will target American Muslims
AFP via Al Arabiya ^ | 9/12/2102

Al-Qaeda released a Sept. 11 anniversary video declaring the United States is at war with Islam and that American Muslims should brace for a “holocaust,” U.S. monitors said Wednesday.

The video, which features al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri as well as its American spokesman Adam Gadahn, is entitled “Truth has Come and Falsehood has Perished” and was posted on jihadist forums, according to SITE and IntelCenter.

According to a SITE transcript, Gadahn rejects President Barack Obama’s assertion that the United States is not at war with Islam because “America is crystal-clear about its opposition to Islam as a political system.”

Referring to U.S. drone strikes, he says: “Today, American Muslims are being killed in Yemen, tomorrow they’re going to be killed (by the U.S. government) in New York and Los Angeles. Get ready for the holocaust.”

The video, which also features al-Qaeda officials Ustadh Ahmad Farooq and Maulvi Asim Umar, also argues that the United States is facing defeat on various battlefronts, according to the monitors.

It totals more than 90 minutes in Arabic, English and Urdu, and comes a day after Zawahiri issued a video eulogizing Abu Yahya al-Libi, his late deputy and propaganda chief who was killed in a drone strike in June.

Gadahn, also known as Azzam the American, was born in 1978. He is a native of southern California and has appeared in several videotapes for al-Qaeda since 2004.

Egyptian Zawahiri, a former eye surgeon, took charge of the extremist group following the death of Osama bin Laden, who was killed by U.S. special forces in May 2011.

What in hell is he doing in our country??

He's not in this country. He was born in California to lefty American parents, educated in America and converted later in life.

He was recruited and went to Yemen, where they trained him further.

our offenses and defenses against terrorism.

Yep that fence GW built along the Southern Border had done wonders. Remember how we all worried about giving the President The Patriot Act, knowing there was a danger of all that power falling into the wrong hands? Well it has happened, and will never be undone, at least not by the coming generation.

Thanks Uncle Miltie.
Adam Gadahn... rejects President Barack Obama's assertion that the United States is not at war with Islam because "America is crystal-clear about its opposition to Islam as a political system." Referring to U.S. drone strikes, he says: "Today, American Muslims are being killed in Yemen, tomorrow they're going to be killed (by the U.S. government) in New York and Los Angeles. Get ready for the holocaust."

I wish America was crystal-clear about its opposition to Islam as a political system. Most Americans are oblivious to the threat.

That’s because the muslime and their fifth columnists in the media have successfully packaged islam as a religion. But as we’ve seen here, it’s much, much more. Its secular dimensions make it wholly incompatible with American principles of individual liberty.

I think AQ overestimates us.
