Al-Qaida insults Obama (Ayman al-Zawahri)
These guys just don’t play well with others (excerpt from AP)…
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites Wednesday, that Obama is “the direct opposite of honorable black Americans” like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
Al-Zawahri also called Obama—along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice—”house negroes.”

“House Negroes” eh? Very funny. But what would a Sand “Negro” know about Malcolm X, and the American Civil Rights Movement? Just my humble opinion.

Nico:
That thought hit me as well. How is it that these guys follow American social attitudes so closely that they know the hot buttons?
I would think that they must have some American advisers that are guiding them and teaching them.
And I am unsure of their motives. They might be trying to give the appearance of insulting Obama while actually trying to influence American opinion to another end.
More tomorrow…signing off for the night!
