DERBENT, Russia -- On a winter night five years ago, Ayman al-Zawahri slipped into Russia across a narrow wedge of land between the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. Dr. Zawahri, now America's most wanted man after Osama bin Laden, was on a risky clandestine mission as head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a militant group that was scattered, battered and nearly bankrupt after years on the run.

"Dr. Zawahri and Mr. bin Laden announced an alliance dedicated to killing Americans, a task they called the 'duty of every Muslim.'"
Of course. What better way to serve their "god"?

Theirs is a "god" of hate, murder, suicide, terror, death, and hell?

They call "him" "Allah".

Do Muslims the world over agree that this "god" is "Allah"? That "Allah" is this "god"? That the "god" whom they worship is the "god" of bin Laden and Zawahri? The world awaits their answer.

How this "god" loves killing!

Well, "he" is a "god" of death; what else could anyone expect?

This is a "god" that thrills at the sound of a suicide exploding in a crowded marketplace, that loves the smell of exploding flesh and burning hair, that loves the screams of anguish and pain, the taste of blood, the sight of arms and legs and pieces of flesh blasted over streets and shops! that roars with laughter at the sight of a baby or a kitten dressed as a suicide bomber, at the spectre of Muslims dancing in the streets to celebrate the massacre of thousands of innocent people--especially Americans!

How better to serve "him" than by "killing Americans"--or anyone else for that matter?

Zawahri is the successor to Dr. Joseph Mengele. They have worshipped the same "god" and served "him" well.

Muslims the world over should decide whether the "god" they worship is the same "god" that bin Laden and Zawahri worship.

If it is the same, then they should increase the bloodshed, terror, murder, death, suicide, etc., and thus serve "him" even better! That is, assuming that they remain unconcerned about the reaction of the rest of the world.

If it is not the same, they would be wise to make this clear and eliminate these heretics and blasphemers and their heretical brand of Islam forthwith.

The supreme irony, is that these fools expect their "god" to favor them. They will hear "his" hideous laugh roaring through hell throughout eternity--and roaring at them for doing "his" evil work while damning themselves to serve as "his" prey.

Such is a pact with the devil.

Yes, and America bombed the daylights out of Serbia for fighting against Zawahiri and his goons in Kosovo!

"America bombed the daylights out of Serbia for fighting against Zawahiri and his goons in Kosovo!"

The war in Yugoslavia--against Serbia--ranks with the Massacre at Waco and the Massacre at Ruby Ridge as one of the mose dishonorable events in American history. There was a common denominator. The American people had elected a psychopathic man to the presidency.

Americans who supported these events and who supported that president; who voted for him and elected him twice to the presidency; who applauded and laughed at his antics, which included rape, perjury, and wag-the-dog bombings, are no better than those who support bin Laden and Zawahri.

            Doctor bin Evil    

Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri is not only Osama bin Laden's right hand man, he is the diabolical mastermind behind the jihad.

According to Arab analysts, al-Zawahiri was instrumental in forging the coalition of al-Jihad (or the wing of it he now controls after its fragmentation by Egyptian security authorities several years ago), Bin Laden;s forces, two Pakistani groups and another from Bangladesh in February 1998 with the purpose of waging war on the USA. The hundreds of al-Jihad members" estimates range as high as 1,000, about one-third of Bin Laden's force in Afghanistan" with al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan formed a hard core of seasoned militants around which the coalition, the International Front for Fighting Jews and Crusaders, has been built.

Al-Zawahiri has been a central figure in the conflict waged by Islamic zealots in Egypt since the 1970s, fighting alongside the main Islamic group, al-Gamaa al-Islamiya, with the aim of establishing an Islamic state.

Indeed, al-Zawahiri has been active since 1966, when as a boy of 15, he was arrested for membership of al-Ilkwan al-Muslimun, the Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic movement, committed to purging Egyptian society of foreign influences, particularly the British, was founded in 1928 by Egyptian schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna. Later outlawed, it became the catalyst for most of the militant Muslim organisations that sprang up across the Arab world.

Experts differ on which man is really in charge.

"Zawahiri has a different kind of experience," (than bin Laden) "He is not interested in fighting in the mountains. He is thinking more internationally, involved in militancy inside Egypt. He was behind the terrorist attacks on tourists [the 1997 attack in Luxor left 58 dead]. He is the person who can do the things that happened on Sept. 11."

Janes Video Grab -- This video grab shows Ayman al-Zawahiri, the ideologue behind Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network now wanted for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The grab is taken from a video tape circulated in Kuwait in June 2001.

If the negotiations, continuing for decades between the Palestinian Authority and the Jews under the auspices of America, have brought us nothing but an increase in killing and hostility toward the Muslim people in Palestine, and an increase in repeated attempts at the destruction of the Aqsa Mosque, then when will we attain the liberation of Palestine? When will we attain the rights of Muslims in Palestine? When will we stop the hostility toward the Aqsa Mosque?

...The issue of Palestine, or more precisely the Israeli-American crime in Palestine, will remain the essential axis of the conflict in the heart of the Muslim world and the greatest impetus for Muslims' jihad against America.

America will disregard her crime in Palestine as she pleases. And the leaders of the world will disregard the tragedy.

The roots of terrorism – as they call it – include the problem of Palestine.

America will remain an exporter of her transgression and the illusion of her power and arrogance. But we confirm for [America] that the issue of our jihad, by God's will, [remains] until we liberate our holy sites from the American Jewish enemy, until the last American Jewish soldier departs from Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula and every Muslim country.

...Bush is lying to his people. Defending this battle, he claimed he has destroyed the al-Qaeda organization and torn apart the Taliban (battle-)lines.

...The whole world will know after the next strikes-
by God's will – which of us is the liar and who is truthful.
