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.

This is taqiyya. Moreover, buying into a Ron Paul-like 'hole up in a Fortress America' is a fool's errand.

With Mr. Soetoro in office, is this "mission accomplished"?

Well, I guess he is just being straightforward, that’s all.

Letting us know what is coming. I prefer that.

Evil.

Apparently an armistice or truce.

No idea. But it isn’t too hard to guess from the context alone.

And, from the context of this, it would apparently suit them.

Basically, Booga-Booga or Death.

A temporary truce. Note the word “temporary”.

Bring it on, Mo. We will cease firing only after we’ve won.

“In this way, he seeks to persuade the West that it is best for it to agree to a ceasefire now.”

oh ya..like we should cease fire so you skanky little bastards can rearm.

Here is what should be done. Get a general in there that will put an end to this shit once and for all-fight a total war, and kill every friggan SOB that gets in our way. After we have done that, we will leave.

A false truce — offered only when the Islamists need time to regroup and reload.

No hudna. We’ll stop when you’re all gone.

... or while time is needed for the centrifuges to spin a bit more (presumably because somebody slowed them down with some computer virus or something)

Between the Taqiyyas, Fatwas, Jihads, and Hudnas, who knows where we stand?

They, the mohammedans, claim it is a truce but is actually a period for them to rearm and plan more attacks!

I have a better idea: nuke an Islamic hellhole per week until they all surrender and abandon their demonic ideology.

It's arabic for "Peace in our Times," where the arabs/muslims play the Nazis, and the rest of the world is... Well, the rest of the world...

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you.

Al-Zawahiri then proceeded to lay out the main points of his hudna proposal, under which the Islamic movement will undertake not to attack the U.S. or the West in exchange for an end to Western interference in the affairs of the Islamic countries and Western agreement to the establishment of an Islamic state ruled by shari'a law in every country in which the majority of Muslims have expressed widespread support for it.

Here would be my counter proposal. I will offer a 500 year hudna. In every country where muslims are not the majority, they will remove themselves to a country which is a muslim majority. The west will leave and not interfere with any islamic majority country unless it opresses non muslim minorities. As part of the hudna, the islamic countries will be quarantined from the rest of the world. Trade can continue, but no human travel.

Hudnas with a non-Muslim enemy should be limited to 10 years: “if Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud” (’Umdat as-Salik, o9.16).
