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.
No deals with Islamic Terrorists, never
Oh yeah! What a deal!
“the Islamic movement will undertake not to attack the U.S. or the West in exchange for an end to Western interference in the affairs of the Islamic countries and Western agreement to the establishment of an Islamic state ruled by shari’a law in every country in which the majority of Muslims have expressed widespread support for it.”
Are you kidding me?!!!
Our ancestors would have sent his head back to his brother in a basket.

it is a small Japanese car....the Accord and the Civic for example
We should figure out a better way to go about it then. How about we bring our troops home, send Muzzies back to Muzzy countries, and offer to bomb Mecca if they get out of line? Just a thought.
Exactly. Sounds like a “peace in our time” moment. I can just see Neville 0bama embracing such a proposition.
Perhaps Barack Obama has stalled the prosecution of the 9-11 attacks plotter, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, because he’s afraid of reprisal attacks (and unwilling to oversee an execution).
I wish the Lord God Almighty would go OT on them.
Good plan! I like it!
and 55 Gitmo prisoners are being released. 1/3 down to completing one of the conditions.
1. A hudna for a defined period, such as 10 years, with an option for renewal.
2. The West, the U.S., and all those who join them as a side in this contract will immediately stop the interference in the Islamic lands (Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Gulf), and will withdraw from them.
3. The U.S. and the West will stop supporting rulers and regimes that fight the Muslims and oppose the establishment of an Islamic state.
4. To rectify what has happened until now, the U.S., the West and the Islamic movement will: Allow the implementation of Islamic law and the establishment of the Muslim state, at least in areas where there is support for the Islamic enterprise; will permit the Islamic movement to operate, to be represented, and to express itself; will stop the regimes’ violence against the Islamic movement and will pressure the regimes on this matter.
5. The U.S. will immediately stop its interference aimed at corrupting the Islamic faith, its precepts and the methods of studying it, [and] will not interfere in these in any way, shape, or form.
6. All captives, prisoners, detainees, and hostages on both sides will be freed; pursuit and surveillance [of all Islamic elements] will be stopped; all those detained in the West and the U.S., or by the rulers and regimes that are their allies, and by the regimes that rule the lands of the Muslims and persecute the Muslims, will be freed.
7. The war on Islam in the guise of a war on terror that is being waged by the U.S., the West and the regimes that are their agents will be ended.
8. The Islamic movement will cease its war on the West and the U.S. and its operations in them.
9. The Islamic movement will cease all attacks on Western or American individuals or property outside of the West or in the Muslim lands.
10. The Islamic movement will defend the subjects and property of the West and the U.S., and of anyone else who is a side in this pact, in the regions where Islamic shari’a is implemented and in which an Islamic state is established – provided that their presence there is proper and legal.
11. The Islamic movement will refrain from provoking the West and interfering in its affairs, and the West and the U.S. will avoid interfering in the affairs of the Islamic movement.
12. The Islamic movement will be free to implement Allah’s law in its regions, and the West will have no right whatsoever to interfere in this or to try and impose anything at all in this matter. The movement will be responsible for reaching an understanding among its factions and for implementing any framework that it sees fit. Western-style democracy, which makes the people the source of legislation, is forbidden by Islamic law. The Islamic faith has its own precepts and its own principles, which it successfully implemented for centuries prior to the emergence of Western democracy and capitalism. The Islamic state will implement its laws in its activity vis-à-vis external [elements], in its commercial activity, and in its internal activity; it will establish a caliphate and appoint a caliph for the Muslims.
13. Regarding countries that do not enter into the pact with the West or with the Islamic state: The Islamic state is entitled to treat them as it sees fit, whether by making peace, a contract, or a coalition, or by boycott or jihad. The West will have no right to interfere in this or to support these countries. On the contrary: the West will be entitled to act similarly – to sign a contract, or to fight countries that are not part of the Muslim states and have no pact with it. Any country that wishes to make a pact with one of the sides can do so with the agreement of both sides, i.e. the West and the Islamic movement.
