La nueva cinta de Al-Zawahiri

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, March 6 (UPI) — The No. 2 man in the al-Qaida terror group has called for attacks on the economic infrastructure of Western countries to stop the «robbery» of Arabic oil .

The remarks were posted Sunday on an Islamist Internet site and attributed to Osama bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

«We have to prevent the crusaders from stealing the Muslims’ oil, which is being drained in the biggest robbery in history,» the statement said.

CNN said the audio appears to have been taken from a recent videotaped message, portions of which were broadcast Saturday on the Arabic al-Jazeera television network.

Al-Zawahiri spoke against the Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed and condemned the latest images of prisoners being mistreated by U.S. troops at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison.

«All this in the West is allowed so they can steal and occupy our land, and steal our wealth and insult us and our religion and Koran and our prophet. And after that, they gave us lessons on freedom and human rights,» he said.

«Tenemos que impedir que los cruzados roben el petróleo musulmán, que está siendo extraído en el mayor robo de la historia».

¿Robo? Ejem,… ¿con el precio a como está y con el destino que tiene, la COMPRA de petróleo es un robo?

Muy bueno el comentario que sobre esta noticia he leído en Freedom’s Zone :

I’m tired of hearing about this «Muslim oil» nonsense, as though the West hasn’t invested in the infrastructure and development of «Muslim oil» fields and production facilities, let alone developed the technology that has provided a customer base that has for far too long paid dearly for that so-called «Muslim oil,» and provided the funds that have provided Muslim terrorists their cell phones, computers, and weaponry that they use in their sick jihad – not to mention the food on their plates, the clothes on their backs, the roof over their heads, and the medical technology and medicines that help keep them alive in the first place.

I’m all for the West spending whatever it takes to rid ourselves of having any need whatsoever of their dirty liquid that pollutes our earth while draining our wallets and funding their jihad against us via Muslim oil masters that funnel our petro-dollars to outlets of Islamic jihad. Let the Arab Middle East continue to live in the middle ages while they go on killing each other over whose manner of belief in whatever prophet they want to believe in is the «true» whatever!

UPDATE/ACTUALIZACIÓN: Según The Counterterrorism Blog, hay 5 temas en esta cinta:

The first is the development of a deeply anti-Western theory of the world based on current events, wherein there is a grand conspiracy to undermine the Islamic faith. Al-Zawahiri describes the publication of cartoons satirizing Prophet Muhammad as part of a crusader plot against the Muslims, saying that the publication is «an example of the hatred of the crusaders led by America.» He said that Muslims should boycott countries where the cartoons were published, including Denmark, Norway, France and Germany. […]

A second theme is the oppression of the Palestinians. Al-Zawahiri voices his support for Hamas’s refusal to recognize Israel, and urges them to «continue the armed struggle.» He describes previous deals between the Palestinian Authority and Israel as «surrender accords,»[…].

In a third theme, al-Zawahiri urges Muslims to attack the West. He says that those attacks should hurt the West economically: «[Muslims have to] inflict losses on the crusader West, especially to its economic infrastructure with strikes that would make it bleed for years.»

A fourth theme emerges naturally from that: the importance of oil. Al-Zawahiri describes the alleged theft of Muslim oil by Western countries as the «biggest robbery in history.

And a fifth theme that Zawahiri puts forward is the need for Muslims to support Islamic terrorists financially. He says that al-Qaeda and similar groups are on the «front line» in defending Islam.

This al-Qaeda tape appears not to have been intended primarily for a Western audience, but instead for a Muslim one. As such, it provides insight into what the terrorist group believes will bolster its appeal in the Islamic world.
