Al-Qaida's leader on Friday marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by calling on Muslims to strike inside the United States, with big attacks or small, using any opportunity they can to "bleed" America financially.
In an audio message released two days after the 12th anniversary of the attacks, Ayman al-Zawahri said America is not a "mythic power" and that the mujahedeen - Islamic holy warriors - can defeat it with attacks "on its own soil."
Al-Zawahri, the successor to Osama bin Laden, used the anniversary to argue that the United States can be defeated by targeting its economy. At the same time, he also addressed the ongoing upheaval in the Arab world. Pointing to a power struggle going on within the rebellion against Syria's regime, he warned jihadi fighters in that country's civil war not "compromise" with more secular or moderate rebel factions, who he said would eventually turn against the al-Qaida-linked radicals.
Al-Zawahri, who is believed to be hiding in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border regions, said al-Qaida sympathizers should stage small attacks or a "big strike" against the United States, similar to the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington, leaving America in "a state of tension" about when and where the next hit would come.
"We should bleed America economically by motivating it to continue its huge expenditure on its security as America's weak point is its economy,
On Syria's civil war, al-Zawahri addressed al-Qaida-linked jihadis - including many foreign fighters - who have taken an increasingly prominent role in the fight against President Bashar Assad's regime.
"I warn my brothers in Syria against any compromise with those factions. They have to learn the lesson of Egypt," al-Zawahri said. He was referring to the army-backed overthrow of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood.

I have read that the Imams trained and sent to the world's mosques are all trained in a radical brand of islam. This tells me first, that Saudi Arabia is our enemy. It tells me second that the leadership of the 5th column is at the head of the column.
The 1st WTC bombing in 1993 was an attack against the economy. It followed a recession that was pretty much orchestrated by the MSM.
The 9/11 attack was also an attack against the economy. It came on the heels of a recession which was orchestrated by Clinton with the Oil for Food program and the smuggling of Iraqi oil which drove the price of oil so low oil producing countries around the world didn’t have any money to spend and the oil companies weren’t spending.
At the same time the economy suddenly collapsed in 2008, there was also a terrorist attack planned for NYC subway system which would have been an attack against the economy.
In all three cases the dems had their talking points in place to blame the repubs for the recessions.
In 2 of the 3 terrorist attacks, 1ST WTC bombing and 9/11, dems had their talking points in place to blame Bush, 41 and 43.
I don’t have any doubt, when the news media goes full scale blaming the repubs for the crashing economy there will be a major terrorist attack following.
Dead on as usual!
“A rather LARGE number of Americans wouldn’t know even after it happened because that kind of news is NOT covered on the “Kardashians” or “Dancing with the Stars.””
Sigh. So true. Ignorant of history but really up to date on the latest crap fed by hollywood.
Supposedly started in an ice cream shop—I’d think they’d know if it were sabotage.
Obama is al Queda
Looking at Ex 23:11, do you see a 7 year crop rotation with 7th year fallow as the equivalent of a 7th year Sabbath?
No. This was a multifaceted plan to maintain logistical stores of food in remote locations, train a national militia, maintain a vital pastoral cohort, and to train and empower the poor. All of that was incorporated in that one verse. It is amazing. In fact, it is the key to understanding much of the Sermon on the Mount and the parables of Matthew 25.
I suppose an agricultural people wouldn’t just be sitting on their hands throughout an entire year of no work.
You have a point.
That is what was done during the Second Temple Period. It is why the multitudes were available for the Messiah's teaching, as His first year of ministry was a Sabbatical year. The reason the original plan was never followed during that time was that their Persian, Greek, and Roman suzerains would have killed any rabbi teaching on the topic. That is why the founding verse for the Sabbath for the Land is not cited AT ALL in the entire two volumes of the Jerusalem Talmud dedicated to the Sabbath year (Tractate Shviit).
These are "0's" friends not America's friends... Big difference! Friends of the devil so to speak.
He is absolutely right. With the ability to walk across our borders with out even being asked who the heck you are, no problem.
And Zawahiri confirmed that MB is mujahideen by saying that the terrorists in Syria need to not join with non-mujahideen - instead heeding what happened in Egypt, where the mujahideen (Muslim Brotherhood) was turned against by the military coup.
Zawahiri is telling us directly that the Muslim Brotherhood are his people. The Egyptian military says that the son of MB’s #2-in-command in Egypt has proof that Obama himself is a signed member of the Muslim Brotherhood - Zawahiri’s self-professed people. Huma Abedin’s people. CAIR’s people.
I’m wondering if the Million Muslim March was toned down because they realized that the public is waking up to which brand of Islam (the terrorist/mujahideen brand) Obama is supporting all over the world and in our own country (as well as in his own country with Raila Odinga’s Memorandum of Understanding with the Muslims to get himself in power in Kenya, although the public has no clue about that, or about his brother Malik and step-grandma Sarah having US tax-exempt status to raise funds for the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan...)
It is interesting.
There have been questions about the wildfires in the West. Last year there was some talk about how there was suspicion that Moslims had set fires.
This year I notice that one fire was set by “hunters.”
And a recent fire was set by someone shooting targets.
Wow, convenient and politically correct!
Just what the leftist narrative calls for.
Boston Marathon was done on the cheap.
