WASHINGTON — In a propaganda salvo by Al Qaeda aimed at undercutting the enthusiasm of Muslims worldwide about the American election, Osama bin Laden’s top deputy condemned President-elect Barack Obama as a “house Negro” who would continue a campaign against Islam that Al Qaeda’s leaders said was begun by President Bush.
Appealing to the “weak and oppressed” around the world, the Qaeda deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, said in a video released Wednesday that the “new face” of America only masked a “heart full of hate.”
For years, the terrorist network sought to fuel anti-Americanism with prolific audio and video recordings vilifying President Bush as the leading American “crusader” against Muslim nations. The election of Mr. Obama, a black man who spent part of his childhood in Indonesia and whose father was from a Muslim family, has muddied Al Qaeda’s message.
The Qaeda leader described the victory by Mr. Obama, who has called for a troop withdrawal from Iraq, as the American people’s “admission of defeat in Iraq.” But he warned Mr. Obama that the United States risked a reprise of the Soviet Union’s failures in Afghanistan if the president-elect followed through on pledges to deploy thousands more troops to Afghanistan to carry on the fight against Al Qaeda and its Taliban allies.
And in a blunt personal attack on the incoming president, Mr. Zawahri painted Mr. Obama as a hypocrite and a traitor to his race, comparing him unfavorably with “honorable black Americans” like Malcolm X, the 1960s black Muslim leader.
The Qaeda video, provided by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant Web sites, drew extensively on archival film of Malcolm X, and much of the message juxtaposes a still picture of Mr. Obama wearing a yarmulke during a visit to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem with a photo of...

I'm surprised the Times included their quote, and the American people accepted their defeat with Obama's win.
Here's the front page of the national edition.
Poor Obama, even his friends are turning on him now.
But, but, but I thought if we were nice to them then they would like us and want to have us over for dinner and a group hug. What gives?
If these people even have shyt for brains, they must have borrowed it from one of their goats.
THEY HAVE BLASPHEMED AGAINST THE MESSI-
Oh...
(Psst! What do we do, now?)
(Does the fax even cover this?)
(I’ll call higher - stall them, use the default soundbite!)
BUSH IS AN IDIOT, BUSH IS A WARMONGER, BUSH STOLE THE ELECTION!!!!
yeah but will obama supporters hate islamofascists now that they have insulted the One?
Confusion reigns among Obama supporters nationwide.
How bout this NYT propaganda quote:
“In a propaganda salvo by Al Qaeda aimed at undercutting the enthusiasm of Muslims worldwide about the American election,...”
I am sure that the Iraqi muslims that have fought alongside our troops against Al Qaeda aren’t so thrilled about being left for the slaughter after Obama pulls out our troops.
Yeah, it’s not clear what the “house negro” ever did to al Qaeda ... anyone know. Could it be the Jewish chief of staff?
At least now the media has a reason to hate al Qaeda.
They didn't have to bring family into the fatwa.
Only in the looking-glass funhouse world of the towel-heads could they murder 3,500 Americans without provocation, then accuse us of waging a "crusade" against them.Nothing a little Sarin or VX gas won't fix. You know - the kind that causes convulsions so severe it snaps bones likes twigs. Now that's my idea of a dance party - 4 or 5 hundred thousand militant Islamist sand Nazis doing that horizontal "break" dance all in one shot. I bet it would feel like a stampede.
I guess Obama and friends will try to use the Fairness Doctrine on Al-Qaida.
Zogby Poll: Almost No Obama Voters Ace Election Test
They don't come across as being very bright.
LOL!
Oh c’mon, we all know al Qaeda was praying to Allah for their ally to win the election and give them victory over the infidels And the so-called Arab World in the WoT, so they can rule under the banner of the Califah.
This smacks of Western Psy Ops.
I call B.S.
How apropos! Thanks for the Jim Jones pic.
Beheadings, dragging thru the streets, blowing up embassies, bombing the USS Cole, WTC 93 and 2001, all meaningless compared to the racist slur against the messiah.
How sick is our media.
“If these people even have shyt for brains, they must have borrowed it from one of their goats.”
They’ve also borrowed pleasure time from their goats as well.
I wish more websites had the pic. The posture is dead on.
