CAIRO, Egypt — Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri issued a new videotape Saturday along with a man identified as an American member of the terror network, inviting Americans to convert to Islam.

The 41-minute video, posted on an Islamic militant Web site nine days before the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, had footage of al-Zawahri and a man the video identified as Adam Yehiye Gadahn, an American who the FBI believes attended Al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and served as an Al Qaeda translator.

Gadahn and al-Zawahiri did not appear together in the footage but were each featured on a split screen. Both wore white turbans and robes.

Gadahn aka EOM on the Jihadi boards had advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attacks and issued a taunt on the MSNBC politics board the night before the attacks.

I remember that screen name. I posted on those boards before coming to FR.

I'm sorry, but IMHO these 'Al Qaeda' are nothing more then PR fronts and straw men for the terrorist states who are the actual perpetrators of terrorism.

This creep is naive and maleable as all hell. He's not even 20 years old.

This guy's real name is Adam Pearlman. I've known many crazy Jews, but converting to Islam and joining al Qaeda? This may be a new record.

His grandfather was a Jew, changed his name to Gadahn and became a Christian, while his mother is a Catholic, and his father was an atheist/agnostic, who had a conversion to Christianity a few years before Adam Yo-Yo converted to Islam, because as he stated, most of the things in the Bible didn't make sense to him or sounded ridiculous.

I think only his father was Jewish

His father was an atheist/agnostic, his grandfather was Jewish, but converted to Christianity.

Adam mentions the "desecration of the Koran at Camp Guantanamo."

You know what they say about telling lies often enough. ...

traitor adam gonads,

He has none. He's just a shaggy looking gutless punk creep in a cave issuing threats to the west on videotape. He's not going to be fighting any jihads. He'll just continue to sit in some dark cave over in God-knows -where, issuing threats to the west on videotape like the rest of the Islamo-fascist cowards in the uppercrusts of AQ. The only reason he's where he's at is OBL died of kidney failure, and Mookie lost a bet with the business end of a U.S. made and manufactured bomb.

This guy is not only telling people to convert to Islam, but to then fight the non-believers.

That's been the stated goal of terrorists for decades. I don't care if the words came from some 19 year old punk in a cave, people need to wake up and realize this is serious business. I don't care who's in the White House, if there's another attack on American soil or it's interests, whoever is in charge the blame will be squarely on their head.

That whole 72 virgins idea just bugs the crap out of me! So popping cherries is all a woman is good for to them? Including their mothers...and sisters...and wives? And then they have the audacity to talk about how well they "care for" and "protect" muslim women. They disgust me, and their "religion" is perverse and evil.

I have read that his father and non-Jewish mother were actually the ones who became members of some Pentecostal/New Age "Christian" church in CA but later had a falling out and left it. I don't think the father was ever much of a practicing Jew, though. I think the grandparents were from New Jersey and the father was born there.

Incidentally, there used to be a Jewish population in NJ devoted to chicken farming and other types of agricultural stuff. Some of them moved to CA, and I met a surprising number of their kids during my time out there. The kids of the chicken ranchers that I met (who would have been the age of this guy's parents) were virtually all athiests and extremely left-wing; the chicken business may have been something founded by Socialist groups active among immmigrant Jews in the first part of the 20th century. I don't know if this is his background, but it wouldn't surprise me; do you know anything more about it? Otherwise, it's just a strange historical sidelight, I guess...

But can you just imagine how many more Mosque's have sprung up across the United States since? I shudder at the thought.

I know. It's happening here in Canada too.

Last Saturday, we were driving the 401 highway from Ottawa to Toronto, and passed 7 or 8 of them pulled over at the side of the highway (Emergency stopping only), on their mats, praying to their devil god.

It's truly frightening.  And they make no bones about wanting to "rule the world."  And if we don't turn Islam, they will kill us.

Surely, our lawmakers can't be so damn dumb to know what is going on right here in the states.  I guess the Muslim's have lots of money and are helping each state with their money, so what lawmaker is going to turn THAT down?

The lawmakers, IMHO, are taking money from the Muslim's and it's blood money. 

The very sad part of this is:  when and if the Muslim's start their war on America, our chicken chit lawmakers have that underground bunker in D.C. that they can run to.  The rest of us will be left out here hanging like chicken heads.

A representative of the DNC...

Actually you are partially right, he failed in his Rat primary in California to run for a local office of "official (white) flag bearer." Sort of like the color guard everywhere else.

and give up your driver's license, since you will no longer be able to drive, and not be allowed to go out in public unless you are accompanied by a male relative or your husband and, if with your husband, walk three paces behind him, perhaps with his three other wives he will be allowed to have, and have your testimony in court be worth only 1/2 of a man's testimony. The benefits to you are boundless!

Invite? I thought it was more of a "convert, or else" message. Of course that's how they do it.
