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.

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.


Hey, isn’t this what obama does????

A temporary peace. It is usually done so Muslims can restock their weapons and strategize how to weaken their enemies.

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.

I think it may be that we are no longer the top priority, despite what they say. They think that since the arab spring, they have a chance to construct a real caliphate and unite the islamic states. This will mean a muslim civil war during the ten years as they fight for control, but they figure that they can build a strong caliphate with nukes and at the end of the ten years be ready to conquer the rest of the world.

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.


Think you are right...only Israel will need to go...it says so in the “agreement”....so Israel will go it alone without our help and be blown to smitherines. We are so screwed. This is pretty depressing stuff.

I believe this is the guy that was released from prison by the Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian Gov't shortly after they got power. He had been sentenced to death for crimes in Albania and terror attacks in Egypt.

He'll do a lot of damage. Does anyone really believe he's not in touch with his brother?

My guess is “hudna” means “Go F urself you stinking terrorist muzzies!” But, maybe I’m wrong.

Pakistan is demanding AMERICAN PUBLIC HANGINGS

Hafiz Saeed alleged that the film, Innocence of Muslims, had been produced with the backing of US establishment.
He said the director, the producer and ALL THOSE INVOLVED in the production and release of the movie must be HANGED PUBLICLY.
“The US must make a law against blasphemy – or we will not let the US consulates in Pakistan function,” he said.—

A resolution condemning the movie is not enough..
Arresting the director is not enough...

Ultimatum to U.S.: ‘Criminalise blasphemy or lose consulate’”:

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

That's my guess too. Almost every war on the planet involves Muslims.
