Marking the 17th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, “called on Muslims to wage war against the United States throughout the world.” He stated that the U.S. was “the number one enemy of Muslims” because of “Washington’s transfer of its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.”
This view isn’t limited to al-Qaeda. On a videotaped CNN exclusive, the Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayyeb, made some eyebrow-raising declarations following the U.S. embassy move:
- He referred to Jerusalem as “100 percent Arab” under Israeli occupation;
- He stated that “no religion” will support the declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel;
- He said that decisions such as this one will nurture terrorism;
- He stated that because of this decision, the East and the West “will drown in seas of blood.”
Islamic supremacists (stealth and violent) have the same objective: the subversion of infidel nations.
“Al-Qaeda leader: Moving embassy to Jerusalem is proof the US is enemy of Islam,” Times of Israel, September 11, 2018:
CAIRO — Marking the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the leader of al-Qaeda on Tuesday called on Muslims to wage war against the United States throughout the world.
In a 30-minute speech released Tuesday, Ayman al-Zawahiri went to great lengths to portray the United States as a religious enemy of Muslims, using Washington’s transfer of its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as evidence of that enmity.
The Washington-based SITE group, which monitors media material by militants across the world, released an English transcript of the speech.
“America [is] the number one enemy of Muslims … despite of its professed secularism,” al-Zawahiri said in the video. He listed 14 directives to fight the United States, including an appeal for Muslim unity and jihadists close ranks.
Al-Zawahiri succeeded Osama bin Laden, a founder of al-Qaida who masterminded the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed more than 3,000 Americans. He was killed by US special forces in Pakistan in 2011.
On Tuesday US, President Donald Trump paid tribute to the “heroes” who fought back against hijackers on September 11, 2001, vowing America would never flinch in the face of evil and that he would do whatever it takes to keep the country safe…..
