There was an al Qaeda propaganda video about the 9/11 plot, a message to Americans urging them to convert and another message bemoaning the fate of alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad who was captured in 2003. There was even an al Qaeda-conducted interview with al-Zawahiri.

Hey there, Allegra. We're still keeping the watch over here. It hasn't been very dangerous...yet.

Jihad Watch seems to agree that Muslims must call enemies to convert before attack.

Interesting and wrong.

The terrorists don't bother.

Did Hasanuddin give a call to come to Islam to the three little girls whose heads were taken in Gebong Rejo?

Sorry but I heard right. OBL has made tapes before each attack. I'madanutjob has been making calls right and left. Recently AQ has put out a call to Islam to America.

I never said it started 5 years ago. Offering Islam to infidels before they are killed is covered in Sura 8.

I really do not want to come across as confrontational with you, I just want you to understand the reality of this.
