American officials have always counseled appeasement in the face of this intimidation: give the jihadis what they want, and maybe they won’t hurt us. That course of action, however, only encourages more intimidation. President Trump is right to call a halt to such appeasement, and to stand strong.
“Al-Qaeda Terrorist Leader Calls for Jihad Against U.S. as Embassy Opens in Jerusalem,” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, May 14, 2018 (thanks to Ken):
Muslims should wage jihad against the U.S. as a response to America’s decision to move its Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to the capital Jerusalem, Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri said on Sunday.
The Egyptian doctor who assumed leadership of the global terror group after its founder Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011 made his call in a video titled “Tel Aviv is Also a Land of Muslims.”
U.S. President Donald Trump “was clear and explicit, and he revealed the true face of the modern Crusade, where standing down and appeasement does not work with them, but only resistance through the call and jihad,” al-Zawahiri said, according to a transcript provided to AFP by the SITE monitoring agency.
He added that Bin Laden had declared the U.S. “the first enemy of the Muslims, and swore that it will not dream of security until it is lived in reality in Palestine, and until all the armies of disbelief leave the land of Muhammad.”
Al-Zawahiri argued that Islamic countries had failed to act in Muslims’ interests by entering into the United Nations, which recognizes Israel, and following Security Council and General Assembly resolutions rather than bending to the will of sharia (Islamic law)….
John Hawk says
Just another day in Hatesville. When haven’t Muslims been called to jihad, for every manner of perceived injustice or “holy” duty?
Islam — made by psychopaths, for psychopaths.
Sons of Liberty says
John Hawk , 100% CORRECT !
Billy Chickens says
“…the land of Muhammad”…Hahahhahaha. LOL. ROTFL. Let me wipe the tears of laughter off my face so that I can ask: When was Muhammad ever in Israel?
Answer: Never. But he said that he flew there one night on the back of a winged donkey with the face of a woman.
So who will we believe – The Word of God in Holy Scriptures or Mad Muhammad the Wicked Prophet of Lucifer who is Allah?

Basically so what same shit different day.
Sons of Liberty says
Except that our FBI under clueless leaders like Barack Hussein Obama and Bob Mueller TOOK OUT all references to Muslims, Islam and jihad in training operations and manuals . They seem to think that Islam and Muslims have nothing at all to do with terrorism .
Birte Bune Smith says
If you quote the man correct he accept that
Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel , although he don’t like the American embassy.
Very interesting!.
No Muzzies Here says
It’s pretty much Jihad all the time for these people. They have only one way of reacting to anything: anger.

There sure are a lot of muslim “doctors”. I wonder exactly what they are doctors of.

Redundant, no?
Westman says
“And We[Allah] said thereafter to the Children of Israel, ‘Dwell securely in the land (of promise)’: but when the second of the warnings came to pass, We gathered you together in a mingled crowd.” – (Quran 17:104)
Why do Muslims insist on driving Jews out of Israel when Allah has clearly stated that it is the dwelling place of the Jews?
Al-Zawahiri must not believe his own Quran. Allah is never going to be “willing” to let Muslims take over Israel, but Al-Zawahiri says he knows best?
CogitoErgoSum says
When you realize Zawahiri’s god boasts of being The Greatest of All Deceivers instead of The Truth things begin to make more sense. (Allah is not really God.)
somehistory says
He said: “standing down and appeasement does not work with them”
When have moslims ever, ever, tried “appeasing” anyone?
His days, just like his “father” satan the devil”s days, are coming to a close.
The shorter the time left, the more anger is expressed.
King Solomon said, “There is nothing new under the sun.’ This idiot “doctor” proves that statement with his call for murder all…according to him…because of what someone non moslim has done.
Thomas O'Neill says
And this from the religion of “peace?” Muslims cannot abide in a constitutional gov’t. Their stated goal is domination of the world. A world wide jihad. That is why I am running for the Senate this year. Get all radical muslims out of our country. I am Tom O’Neill and I approved this message.
DHazard says
All Muslims are in a perpetual state of Jihad with non-Muslims whether they know it or not; the house of war vs. the house of “peace”. Jihad only ends when everybody is Muslim or dhimmi and Muslims have gotten over their own internal jihads against each other, which will be never.

“American officials have always counseled appeasement in the face of this intimidation: give the jihadis what they want, and maybe they won’t hurt us.”
I thought that the Americans are trying to shoot dead and drone all Jihadis whenever they raise their heads.
Robert Spencer: blah, blah blah blah blah………blah…………blah………………………
Ayman Al Zawahiri: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah……………blah,…………blah………………………
Chand says
typo………………………..the Americans were trying to shoot……………………..they raised………….
Chand says
Wasn’t Obama the one who got Osama? Wasn’t appeasement, was it? Was some lead in the head.
Wellington says
Only because Bush 43 had KLM waterboarded and he sang like a canary. Obama stupidly got rid of waterboarding which is not torture (something like ripping out fingernails, teeth or toenails is) but enhanced interrogation.
gravenimage says
I see that Muslim apologist Chand is pretending that Robert Spencer and Al Qaida are the same–Al Qaida for waging violent Jihad terror, and Robert Spencer for daring to notice that fact.
Ludicrous false moral equivalence.
Terra Nova says
Are we even sure Islam belongs to the human race? Watch out, so much will be staged now.
Where are all the Christians and the Pope, ? They sold out Christianity and with that Christ.
Congratulations !!!
