Al-Qaeda Obama - President-elect Barack Obama was hit with a racial insult by Al-Qaeda leaders who portray the next president as nothing more than a house Negro.
The Al-Qaeda Obama racial insult came in a video released by Al-Qaeda’s No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahri who called Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice and Barack Obama “abeed al-beit” or “house Negroes”.
Al-Qaeda’s No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday on their official website, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is “the direct opposite of honorable black Americans” like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
In al-Qaida’s first response to Obama’s victory, al-Zawahri also called the president-elect — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — “house negroes.”
Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term “abeed al-beit,” which literally translates as “house slaves.” But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as “house negroes.”
The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters’ house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites.
The 11-minute video features the audio message by al-Zawahri, who appears only in a still image, along with other images, including one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap as he meets with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a Nov. 5 U.S. airstrike attack in Afghanistan, meaning the video was made after that date.
“It is a top priority for us to stamp out al Qaeda once and for all,” Barack Obama told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in his first major interview after being elected President.
“And I think capturing or killing bin Laden is a critical aspect of stamping out al Qaeda. He is not just a symbol; he’s also the operational leader of an organization that is planning attacks against US targets.”‘
And that’s the latest news on Al-Qaeda Obama.
