Dag nabbit! I was hoping he was taking the big dirt nap. But al-Qaeda’s Dr. Evil is celebrating the birth of Christ by totally ignoring his teachings. Rather than peace on earth good will towards men his motto is more war.
Via Jay at Stop the ALCU: The message was aired by non other than Al-Jazeera, Al Qaeda’s favorite news network. He went on to condemn elections in Palestine instead favoring jihad. He said, †Any way other than holy war, will lead us only to loss and defeat.â€Zawahiri is lending his support to the Palestinians from under a rock somewhere in Pakistan.
Update: By golly Centcom’s translation is a bit off. It seems Zawahiri has found Jesus! Finally a radical Muslim actually listens to what Jesus says, rather than just pay him lip service as “A minor prophet who failed for want of the sword.â€
Hat Tip: Aine.
Update II. Laura Mansfield has a complete transcript here.
Update: Centcom has updated with a full transcript here.
Laura Mansfield has obtained a low-res copy of the vid. I have uploaded it to google video here.
Via Centcom: Ayman al-Zawahiri, second-in-command of Al-Qa'ida organization, said that plots are being hatched to abort the concept of jihad in the Palestinian territories. In a new videotape, he stressed that the elections in the Palestinian areas will not lead to the liberation of these areas.If and when we obtain a copy of the full message and transcript we will bring it to you.
Excerpt #1:[Begin Al-Zawahiri video recording] Any path other than the path of jihad will not lead us to anything but to waste and loss. Those trying to liberate the Muslim land through elections based on secular constitutions or on the [UN] resolutions handing over Palestine to the Jews, will not liberate a grain of the soil of Palestine. In fact, their efforts will lead to strangling the jihad and besieging the mujahidin. Retreating before the West will not make them feel satisfied with us, no matter how skillful we might be in maneuvering, tactics, and dialogue.
God says: Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. [Part of Koranic verse] [End recording]
Excerpt #2:
[Begin Al-Zawahiri video recording] One of the forms of recognizing Israel is accepting the legitimacy of Mahmud Abbas, head of the National Authority and America's man in Palestine, and giving the PLO, which recognizes Israel, the mandate to negotiate with Israel. This is an abyss, which eventually destroys jihad and leads to the recognition of Israel. Disregarding the religious facts and the actual realities of the conflict between Islam and non-belief has made some brothers in Palestine go from calm to elections based on a secular constitution; from elections based on a secular constitution to respect for international resolutions; from respect for international resolutions to acceptance of the prisoner document; from acceptance of the prisoner document to a national unity government; and from a national unity government to forcing them out of the cabinet. The series is still unfolding. How is it that they have not demanded that Palestine should have an Islamic constitution before participating in any elections? Aren't they an Islamic movement? Aren't they seeking to make the word of Allah reign supreme? [End recording]
Al-Zawahiri said that plots are being hatched to abort the notion of jihad in the Palestinian territories. He asserted that elections in the Palestinian territories will not lead to its liberation.[Begin Al-Zawahiri video recording] Any path other than the path of jihad will not lead us to anything but to waste and loss. Those trying to liberate the Muslim land through elections based on secular constitutions, or on the [UN] resolutions handing over Palestine to the Jews, will not liberate a grain of the soil of Palestine.

God says: Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. [Part of Koranic verse] [End recording]
Excerpt #3:Al-Zawahiri said that any government in Palestine should rely on the Islamic Shari'ah [law]. He said that regaining every inch of occupied Palestine, including the parts occupied in 1948, is a duty for every Muslim. He said that all UN resolutions pertaining to the Palestine question, including the partition resolution are unlawful from a religious view.
[Begin Al-Zawahiri recording] They cannot imagine the Muslims establishing a government in Palestine or elsewhere that is based on anything but the Shari'ah and whose terms of reference are anything but the Shari'ah. The second fact is that every Muslim is duty-bound to regain any land that was a land of Islam. Therefore, we as Muslims cannot concede to Israel a single inch of Palestine. As far as we are concerned, there is no difference between the 1948 Palestine and the 1967 Palestine. It is all Palestine, and it all belongs to the Muslims. All the UN resolutions that have taken parts of it, and recognized Israel's presence on it, starting with the partition resolution to Resolution 1701 are all null and void, and, in the balance of Islam, are worthless. We should reject, renounce, and fight these resolutions. We should not take hesitant positions toward these resolutions by saying that we will respect and acknowledge them as a fact of life, and other such statements that would squander the Muslim's rights. Recognizing these resolutions implies the recognition of the Hebrew state. [End recording]

So the Koran says, "Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion." That's some pretty divisive, hateful sh!t quoted directly from the holy book of the the Religon of Peace.

Micheal it might be the way you view the comments, if you click the topic thread "Zawahiri Not dead" (http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/185793.php)
you get the comment section with the preview button, this comment section is out of synch with the whole site, you should access it via the "comment" url at the bottom of the story, in this case:

Rusty is aware of the problem, basically two different comment forms, and the topic one isn't updated correctly.
