Muhammad Al-Zawahiri, Brother Of Al-Qaeda Leader, Proposes 10-Year 'Hudna' To The West
Memri ^ | Sunday, September 16, 2012 | Staff

Posted on 09/16/2012 6:22:46 PM PDT by rocksandbroncs

On September 15, 2012, the Saudi daily Al-Shuroukh published a document authored by Muhammad Al-Zawahiri, the brother of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, proposing a 10-year hudna to the U.S. the West. The document's publication followed Al-Zawahiri's presentation of the main points of the initiative in interviews with Western media.

In the preface to the document, Al-Zawahiri put himself forward as mediator, and explains the need for the initiative, and the reasoning behind it. He presented himself as a member of what he referred to generally as "the Islamic movement," and noted that the initiative aims to serve the interests of the movement and of the Muslims. Addressing the West, which he called "the Muslims' Enemy No. 1," he warns that the Muslims' war against it will only escalate, and that what has happened so far is only the beginning. In this way, he seeks to persuade the West that it is best for it to agree to a ceasefire now.

“Apparently an armistice or truce.”

As in “Israel, please don’t turn Iran into a glass parking lot!”

You need to sign the hudna to find out what's in it.

What he's proposing is the same thing that currently exists between Israel and the Muslims.

Simply Put: "Let's all agree to existing peacefully, while WE, the Muslims, violate that agreement whenever we feel like it and attack Israel in the name of Allah."

The MENTALITY of the militant Muslims will NEVER change. Only a FOOL would agree to anything with them.

Pretty much. I wonder what fractures they are experiencing.

I counter-propose that Muslims not be permitted to leave their countries, and be forced to take “How to behave like human beings” lessons until they prove they’re able to constructively participate in modern civilization.

My other counter-proposal is simply FOAD.

This is taqiyya.
agree...nothing more than an tactic (to hide weakness)....
The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in
disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies.
In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding
with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently
employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.

Surprised no ones thrown this out there.
But wold not be surprised if he and Obama somehow already discussed. And that Obama agrees to it.
Would be a huge October surprise and would give Obama his re-election because the media would run wiht it.

Muslims are allowed to temporarily declare a truce in Jihad to re-arm, repopulate, consolidate and rebuild. They are not allowed to stop expansion of Islam until it takes over the world. Mohammed specifically limited Hudna (truce) to a MAXIMUM of ten years.

And they TELL you is is soaked with hemlock.

And that you should take it, for your own good.

Gee, where have I heard THAT before?

it should be understood hat they want to be left alone to establish a caliphate in all places where they have a majority. Within 10 years that will include Europe of course, since there are countries there where muslims have already reached critical mass.

To obama, al-zawahiri et al - UP YOURS!!!!

In watching world events - and dog-that-didn’t-bark NON events - I think it’s safe to say the world doesn’t expect to be negotiating with zero much longer.

There are two forms of peace: the peace that comes from capitulation and the peace that comes from winning the war.

A Hudna request is asking us to capitulate and gives the enemy time to regroup. Warriors know that capitulation only brings slavery. The Islamists would not offer this if in fact they held a strong position. This is the very time we should double down on our efforts to destroy them.

In 2002 I heard a Phil Henry show that was all about the US losing the WOT. It was all a big joke of course but the show told American women how to size burkas and please men according to what we now know to be Sharia law. People who did not get the fact that show was a joke called in beyond p’d off. But of course the interaction of the host with them was part of the show.

Little did we know in 2002 that America would in 6 years elect Barry Hussein (mmm mmm mmm) and legitimately have to worry about sharia. Damn the joke is really on us. Well if nothing else I have been motivated to learn to shoot.

Well, not completely....

Accept the Hudna, within which they believe they will gather strength, use the time to drill oil and gas, collapse the oil cost down to reasonable, drying up the terrorist’s main source of Jihad money......game, set, match.

Except for Israel, detach all monies and diplomatic relations from Islamic nations and wait for all the infighting amongst the sects after the Muslim Brotherhood can no longer fund their various causes including Al-Qaeda, that keeps them focused on western nations.

Prior to mid-east oil dominance, they were unfocused....let’s unfocus them again.
