Al Qaeda deputy criticizes Obama's Egypt trip

(CNN) -- On the eve of President Obama's highly anticipated speech to the Muslim world, al Qaeda's second-in-command issued an audio statement saying the president of the United States is not welcome in Egypt.

Obama is traveling to the Middle East in an effort to repair a damaged U.S. image and reset relations with the Islamic world. But the terrorist network's deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, said those relations cannot be mended as long as the administration maintains its alliance with Israel.

In a message called "Tyrants of Egypt and America's agents welcome Obama" that was posted on Islamist Web sites, al-Zawahiri once again lashed out at the United States. Obama's message to the Muslim world, he said, has already been delivered with his support for "Zionist aggression."

Damn, we've killed a dozen of them and they still keep popping out.

It will take a long time to heal the damage and suffering we have done to that society.

Why would their goals be similar to his goals? Al Qaeda's identity and success is tied up with the West, especially America, being the Big Satan. I do not see them as seeking "peaceful co-existence."

The US is one of the biggest Muslim countries in the world. There is so much we can do together.

Al-Zawahiri is a sub-human piece of trash.

How about all of Judaism is not God, but only the # 2 guy in the "Jewish mafia" instead?

I guess I am missing your point.

follow. Allah or Al-Zawahiri.

Still not getting your point? Would you have said it is up to Catholics whether they will follow God or Al Capone?

If you go to the top of Mt. Sinai. You're going to find God and a drug dealer. It's up to you to decide who you will follow through life. The drug dealer will make you feel high and mighty. God will humble you in His presence. Al-Zawahiri's followers use his words like a drug. It makes them feel all high and mighty.

Even if you never get it. I do thank you kindly for politely entertaining the idea.
