Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.
What?! I thought the Iraq War was creating more terrorists? I thought that Iraq was enflaming Moslem opinion to support jihad? That's what our Left has argued, anyway.
He goes on:
"I urge all Muslims to hurry to the battlefields of Jihad (holy war), especially in Iraq," Zawahiri said in the message, the second in a two-part series to answer about 100 questions put to him via online militant forums.
"The situation in Iraq heralds an imminent victory of Islam and the defeat of the crusaders and those who stand under their flag," he said.
Hold on, here! Iraq is the focus of al Qaeda's drive to defeat the crusaders in a holy war? But our Left says that Iraq is a "distraction" from the real fight against al Qaeda!
So yeah, hurry to that battlefield you wannabee jihadists. You'd hate to be the last to die, now wouldn't you?
But if you hail from the Reality-Resistant Left, you've already processed and discarded this information.
