The Egyptian Physician Rants Again

Bumps Zawahiri is back with a new show on JihadTV, doing the dozens on the Annapolis peace sham: Al-Qaida No. 2 blasts peace conference.

CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida’s deputy leader denounced last month’s Mideast peace conference in Annapolis, Md., as a “betrayal” of Palestinians in a new audio message posted Friday on an Islamic militant Web site. …

“The Annapolis meeting was held to turn Palestine into a Jewish state,” the voice, purported to be that of Ayman al-Zawahri, said the 20-minute posting that carried a still photo of the white-turbaned militant against a backdrop of a photograph from the conference.

“The czar of Washington invited 16 Arab countries … to sit in one room, at one table with the Israelis,” al-Zawahri said, adding that the conference “witnessed the betrayal deals to sell Palestine.” …

Al-Zawahri mainly addressed Arabs, urging them to condemn the Annapolis conference and label Mahmoud Abbas as “the traitor,” adding that the Palestinian “brother-president sold you out in Annapolis and in its aftermath.” It’s time now, he said, for the Muslims to “extend hands to other jihad brothers” - a likely reference to militants beyond the Middle East.

“My brothers in Palestine, we, all Muslims, the Mujahedeen are by your side, in your confrontation with the Zionist enemy,” al-Zawahri said. “We will not let you down even if your politicians do.”

He also criticized imprisoned Islamic militants in Egypt, who after years in jail turned away from their militant stance. “Those revisionists are in fact calling for a new American religion that violates God’s rules,” he said.

A top jailed Jihad leader, Sayed Imam, last month announced his “Revisions” — a recanting of his past calls for the use of force to overthrow Arab governments seen by militants as infidels. Egypt is hoping the “Revisions” will diminish support for militancy but al-Qaida leaders have dismissed similar past recantations as forced on imprisoned militants.

“I am addressing the Muslim nation in Egypt in particular: where is your role in confronting aggression on Islam and Muslims?” al-Zawahri said. “Stand up and … be aware of the poisons of weakness and submission which the traitor regime is trying to inject into you through the tongues of the revisionists.”

Tongues can inject stuff? Who knew?
