CAIRO, Egypt — Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahiri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
In Al Qaeda's first response to Obama's victory, al-Zawahiri also called the president-elect — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — "house Negroes."

"And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning "House Negroes" are confirmed."

Al-Zawahiri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was "facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see."
He said Obama's victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush's policies were a failure and that the result was an "admission of defeat in Iraq."
But Obama's professions of support for Israel during the election campaign "confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahiri said.

What I can’t figure out is why anyone would want to give this a-hole face/air/web time. He would have said the same thing (Al Qaida won) or something similar (about mccain, obviously not ‘house negro’), no matter who had won.
Al quaida is already insulting our President-Elect?
There’s no pleasing those guys!
Obama State Dept. Responds: “Gonna Pop a 9 in that n*ggaz *ss”
A racial epithet from Zawahiri, directed against Obama??!! What the hell did he call him....Brother??!
Does this mean the love fest the NY Times have with Al Queda may be off? I do so hate to see lovers get into these silly scrapes. I am sure that the Times will come to Al Queda’s defense and find someone to say that isn’t what was said and besides it was taken out of context.
“And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning “House Negroes” are confirmed.”
According to another thread somewhere he actually called them “House SLAVES”. Only a PC translator changed it to “Negro”.
But then, the word for Negro and Slave are supposed to be the same in Arabic.
LOL! I'll keep an eye out for that one.
This will really outrage the left. Killing US troops in Iraq-Nah. But using a politically incorrect term, even more using one to insult the Black One? Oh my!

Or maybe we’re supposed to be indignant and rally around the dumb, “house slave”. Fat chance.
The NYT got what they wanted - a nitwit with a “messiah” complex.
What?
They don’t bow down and worship The One?
But The One promised to surrendered to the Muslims!

We need to educate them on that.
Then they’ll be “peace on earth”.
Don’t they know, he’s one of them?

“Qaeda No. 2 in Video Insults Obama With Racial Epithet”

LOL!
That sounds like a lead-in for a TV ad!
I refuse to comment.
He insulted everyone in the USA as well as those around the world who like Mr Obama. His support group was already shrinking, but it is becoming microscopic day by day.
