In the al-Qaeda tape posted on an Islamic website, Zawahiri made a brief statement urging viewers to listen carefully to the message, entitled: "An Invitation to Islam".

The speaker in the new video was identified as Azzam the American and appeared in the video dressed in a turban and seated in front of a computer.

Gadahn is believed by US authorities to be running al-Qaeda's propaganda operation.

He is thought to have appeared with his face covered in a 2004 video shown by ABC News in which the speaker threatened al-Qaeda attacks.

"To Americans and the rest of Christendom we say, either repent [your] misguided ways and enter into the light of truth or keep your poison to yourself," he said in English on the new tape.

"But whatever you do don't attempt to spread you misery and misguidance to our lands," he added.

"Ignorance" of Islam "causes the people of the West to rapturously applaud when Israel perpetrates wholesale slaughter of Muslims in Lebanon and Palestine," he added.

I think those stupid jesus-freaks shouldn't try to convert foreign lands, too.

Who are they to say what to believe? If someone wants to convert to christianity, then whatever, but most foreign countries don't care about christianity, and they will care less if people force it all over them.

uhm, the MidEast isnt really where the "jesus-freeks" go. More like India and China are where they attempt to convert.
They get threatened, and sometimes even killed in most places in the MidEast if they even try.

Most likely he's refering to the "other stuff" the West wants to "open" the MidEast too.
I'll leave the filling in of "other stuff" for now

More like India and China are where they attempt to convert.

In one case, a woman who handed out bibles on a street corner in China was beaten to death by police!

I hate people that try to convert people..I hate them just like sales people that call you,during dinner grrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Nemesis6]

Gotta love people like those Jehovah's Witnesses people, they're always there to cheer you up with such classics as "You're going to hell!", or "Jesus loves you!". I might be going to hell, but at least I won't be seeing you there you old hag! :-D

Funny, but they seemed adequetly misguided and miserable even before our influence. Just one man's perception, though.

To us, al-quaeda IS the westerners .

 

[kirovman]

"Those who think that democracy is synonymous with freedom are either people who haven't experienced life in America or Americans who haven't lived abroad."

What, so 90% of the world's population? (including the middle east)

adding that God did not recognize a separation of religion and state.

Ah, at least him and Dubya have something in common then.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

There Alquaeda is using all our glorious western technology to tell us how much our culture sucks.

Computers, internets, radio waves!

In Singapore you get the death penalty for carrying a bit of a plant.
