Al-Qaeda's number two Ayman al-Zawahiri has called on US President George W Bush to convert to Islam.

"Ayman Zawahiri called on President George W Bush to convert to Islam in the video recording received by Al-Jazeera," said the channel's presenter.

"If you obey, you will be a brother in religion and God will pardon the past," she cited Zawahiri as saying in the tape broadcast on Monday.

Al-Jazeera did not broadcast excerpts of this passage from the tape, but said the full recording would be made available on its website.

In the excerpts broadcast by Al-Jazeera, Zawahiri said he survived a controversial US raid targeting him in Pakistan.

Bush to Al-Qaeda, "Convert this..."

[dynachrome]

I got your islam hanging right here......

Of course most posters here will miss the implication.

Under Sharia, non-Muslims can be exonerated of even capital crimes and avert execution if they convert.

Ominous indeed. Especially when combined with bin Laden's call for a truce (also SOP for certain Muslims prior to an attack).

Interesting that Al-jizzra has postponed giving out that little tid-bit until now...

[lentulusgracchus]

Yeah, Bush'll convert -- that's gonna happen!

Now here's a news flash. Even if Dubya did convert to Islam, his oath of office would still require him to convert Abu Ayman and OBL to grease spots.

"Zawahiri should convert to Christianity...while he still can."

Before something nuclear happens to him. Bush will introduce him and his cohorts to the "Hiroshima Effect".

Reminds me of when Christ was tempted to "change religions".

And who was the temptor then?

Could it be ... SATAN?! (/church lady)

[Ayman Zawahiri called on President George W Bush to convert to Islam...]



If Bush converts to Islam then he can take the gloves off in the war against the Iraqi "insurgents". He can use any weapons at his disposal and not have to worry about "collateral damage" and aggressively torture all captured "prisoners" without condemnation from the U.S. media.

I think Ann Coulter pretty much had this figured out on Sept 12, 2001. "INVADE THEIR COUNTRIES. KILL THEIR LEADERS. CONVERT THEM TO CHRISTIANITY." (cuz Jews don't recuit and I'm pretty sure we don't want these guys in our Temples).

Ayman, this Christian has just one thing to say:

Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad.

...and with more respect than you're due, as far as I'm concerned, Mohammed is not His prophet.

I can't conceive of any scenario where al Qaeda lands a decisive hit on us that doesn't redound to them as us tossing the Queensberry rulebook out the window.

I've been wrong before, but I can't see how they could survive facing the capability of an America sporting the missionary zeal and moral compass of the old Soviet Union.

Ya'all come over for barbecue and we will discuss it.

Convert to Islam, Al-Qaeda tells Bush

If it were a democrat in the WH, or a Froggie, then that would be an option for sure.

"I can't see how they could survive facing the capability of an America sporting the missionary zeal and moral compass of the old Soviet Union."

They think the Mahdi is returning soon, within 24 months.

[DarthVader]

Only in their dreams the globe will be all red in 100 years and the bluntskulls will be our slaves.

If Clinton could become Bush's "brother", I don't see why Islam can't become his religion.

[cubreporter]

How 'bout our great President respond with: NUTS!!!

[cubreporter]

oh stop.

[papertyger]

They think the Mahdi is returning soon, within 24 months.

Not before an Ezekiel 38 and 39 scenario, I'll wager, but I wouldn't presume to disagree with them...

[Enchante]

How 'bout we let Bill Clinton convert to Islam and make his permanent home in one of those hellholes, never to return to civilization. That would be a "two-fer"..... we don't have to listen to him anymore and the Islamo-fascists can be happy that they converted one more moron....
