Abu Hamza al-Muhajer makes his propaganda tape debut. From CNN:
(CNN) -- The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq urged his followers to kill at least one American in the next two weeks using a sniper rifle, explosive or "whatever the battle may require," according to an audiotape that aired Thursday on Al-Jazeera.
The Arabic news network identified the man on the tape as Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, however CNN was unable to independently verify his identity.
Al-Muhajer took command of the terror network's partner group in Iraq after an American airstrike killed its former leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in June, U.S. officials say.
Al-Muhajer, which means "the immigrant," is the pseudonym adopted by Abu Ayyub al-Masri, an Egyptian militant believed to be an expert at making car bombs, U.S. officials say.
"I invite you not to drop your weapons, and don't let your souls or your enemies rest until each one of you kills at least one American within a period that does not exceed 15 days with a sniper's gunshot or incendiary devices or Molotov cocktail or a suicide car bomb -- whatever the battle may require," the speaker says on the tape.
The recording is more sophisticated than past tapes released by al Qaeda in Iraq and includes sound effects such as a lion's roar, machine gun fire and a sword being unsheathed.
Producers at times used echo effects on al-Muhajer's voice and included snippets of inspirational songs and verses from the Quran.
On the tape, al-Muhajer blasts Iraq's Sunni Muslim community for cooperating with the Shiite-led and American-backed Iraqi government. He calls for unity among Muslims, "so the word of God can be the highest, and the word of the infidels the lower."
"Our enemy has united its sides against us, and isn't it time to unite, you worshippers of God?" al-Muhajer asks.
The full statement is more than 18 minutes long, and al-Muhajer is introduced in a voice similar to one that introduced al-Zarqawi in previous tapes, said counterterrorism expert Laura Mansfield.
There is no way to tell for certain if the speaker is al-Muhajer because there is no previous recording of his voice to compare it with. But there are "striking similarities" between Thursday's tape and other tapes released by al Qaeda in Iraq shortly after al-Zarqawi's death, she said.
Notice how these cowards are always urging their followers to blow themselves up but are never willing to lead by example?
l think the kill rate of taliban by NATO forces is like a hundred to one.. our guys have better aim, and dont hide among women and children.
lpportunity to ask challenging and unfiltered questions of these leaders."
They are scared.
Don't the Sunnis know that the Shiites are heretics?
Don't the Shiites know that the Sunnis are heretics?
hmmm, let's see: about 130,000 to 150,000 Americans in iraq. That's a lot of smarter, better trained, better equipped, better supported, and very unwilling targets. I don't think his goal will be reached. Not necessarily a great way to start off with an international edict.
P.S. - thank you all U.S. and Coalition troops - you're in our hearts and minds constantly and making us proud!
Please let it be Ibrahim Hooper.
How about John Walker Lindh? Jose Padilla? Ahmed Omar Abu Ali?
These Islamists can't each kill one American, what a joke.
How many nations took on Israel and lost? How long have wars against them lasted?
Seriously. And if they don't do 9/11 as they claim, then they are even a more fangless dog.
Of course, they did do 9/11, I am just pointing out they can't believe that because they know the biggest thing they have ever accomplished is finding oil in their backyard. And, actually, we found that, too.
Anyway, these Sunni Islamists quake and quiver at Americans. They are great at doing surprise attacks at women, children, and old people. But, that is about it.
Anyway, Al Qaeda is on target here. I guess all of the Left, Islamists, and Nazis agree with this tape as being authentic Al Qaeda. Funny how these guys don't condemn the "forged" video tapes proving Al Qaeda is behind 9/11.
I guess the Left and Islamists think these other tapes are all CIA and Jewish productions, too.
Keep it up assholes. It's only a matter of time before Americans decide enough is enough and the public decides to target muslims.
Americans are much better at killing than you are. We do it face to face, one on one, and we don't need numerical, tactical, psychological, or firepower advantages to win.
If you want to avoid your inevitable fate, stop provoking decent people and crawl back to your dirty shit-holes. Even the famed tolerance of Americans has a limit.
Pelayo,
I was scrolling slowly. LOL!
Jeff,
Congratulations. You've made it on a special CAIR Action Alert. Your fatwa should arrive in 7-10 business days. Thank you for offending the Dar-al-Islam. Have a nice day.
This just won't make for a good ad campaign. They need a high powered marketing firm in NYC to help them out --
"At least one American in 15 days -- it's all we ask!" doesn't roll off the tongue like it should...
How about "Get ahead in Islam -- chop a head TODAY!"?
or
"Have you killed a Yank lately?"?
or
"If it's Tuesday, it must be kill-a-Jew-Day!"?
Really, it needs some work...
beagle:
I want CAIR (Camel American Islamic Retards,) to target me.
I'm waiting Ibrahim. Try to stop molesting little boys long enough to condemn me. Stop lisping and put down the doughnuts first, before you bend over.
Send as many assassins as you want. I'll still be here when you're finished.
...and furthermore, my mujahid brethren, I command you to take one (1) pumpkin seed, build a rocket ship from milk cartons, duct tape and an old garbage can, pray to allah (soowee), fly to Mars, plant the seed, and grow yourself a nice big squash so that allah (oink) can turn it into a carraige in which you may be whisked off to the Emperor's Ball.
Jeff Bargholz: thank god the rule of law exists to stop idiots like you from inciting lynching’s and other arbitrary forms of 'justice' In fact, if we swapped 'Jew' for 'Muslim' and German for American in your writings, there's not much difference between your comments and a Nazi party member.
How about you try to not spew hate speech, and reflect on some strategies that would allow us to defeat this enemy through the constitutional framework that so many of our forefathers died to protect.
lets hope the US military removes and/or revises its rules of engagement to a point where it is easier to return fire more quickly.
With a kill ratio of aabout 100 to 1 in America's favor, that is going to be a lot of dead muslims.
