New Al-Qaeda Video Features American Convert and Urges Non-Muslims to Convert to Islam

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda called on non-Muslims especially in the United States to convert to Islam and abandon their 'misguided' ways or else suffer, according to a video tape posted on a Web site on Saturday.

The speaker was identified as Azzam the American, also known as Adam Yahiye Gadahn -- an Islamic convert from California wanted for questioning by the FBI and who U.S. authorities believe to be involved in an information campaign for al Qaeda.

"To Americans and the rest of Christendom we say, either repent (your) misguided ways and enter into the light of truth or keep your poison to yourself and suffer the consequences in this world and the next," Gadahn said in English.

He appeared in the video dressed in a white turban and seated in front of a computer and books.

Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawhari made a brief statement at the beginning of the tape -- dated September 2006 -- urging viewers to listen carefully to the message, entitled: "An Invitation to Islam".

I JUST LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE VIDEO(48 MINS.)

Short of the reasons he stated that it is the only Religion, It was a critic of the decedent Western lifestyle and how there can be no governments but for the will of Allah. So, why isn't he mentioning how there are Islamic Governments like Iran ?
He stated how the were other Muslims that "misinterpreted" the teaching of Mohamed, But didn't state how those interpretations were probable stated to him by leaders as the only way to think about Islam and thus, they are the one's providing power over the populous !.

I've heard this all before, during the cold war, from communist propaganda.

We should call him Tokyo Rose or Hanoi Jane.

Wouldn't that be "HEY BUDDY CONVOIT THIS!!!" Along with a prominent display of the "Hawaiian Good Luck Symbol", aka "The Boid".

Let's listen for the outcry from the Left against THIS latest Islamo-fascist "invitation".

They will make all sorts of excuses, I am sure.

What really needs to happen is that people need to mock the basic tenents of Islam. It's so very clearly a fradulent religion created by a con man, I can't see how anyone would take it seriously.

If you've got to hold a gun to people's heads to make them join it (and threaten to cut their heads off if they don't), it must be a REALLY ATTRACTIVE faith!

Another sparkling feature are the textbooks Muslims use with the children, explaining how Jews are apes.

Oh, I know . . . the President's explained a hundred times . . . . it's a great and peaceful faith that's been hijacked by a few . . .

yeah . . . a few MILLION!
