    Al Qaeda No. 2 Calls Obama Racial Epithet

    CAIRO, Egypt — Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, 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 sub les 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.

    In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the latest message was just "more de able comments from a terrorist."

    The 11-minute 23-second 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.

    Al-Zawahri said Obama's election has not changed American policies he said are aimed at oppressing Muslims and others.

    "America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always," the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said.

    He said Obama's plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.

    "Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them," he said.

    Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was "facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see."

    He said Obama's victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush's policies were a failure and that the result was an "admission of defeat in Iraq."

    But Obama's professions of support for Israel during the election campaign "confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims," al-Zawahri said.

    Maybe Al-Qaeda and the KKK can form an alliance that will be mutually beneficial to both of their needs. Ah, togetherness...

    it is amazing how you and the lib s love to drop this 23% of texans claim -- look at the number of people polled and where it was done. The poll in no way reflects Texas. IT should read 23% of mexicans or 23% of illegal aliens.

    Love to harp on this 23% garbage.

    "WASHINGTON — A University of Texas poll to be released today shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain and GOP Sen. John Cornyn leading by comfortable margins in Texas, as expected. But the statewide survey of 550 registered voters has one very surprising finding: 23 percent of Texans are convinced that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Muslim."

    I didn't now illegal residents were allowed to be registered voters...

    Here's the full poll results:

    I didn't know a survey of 550 registered voters in a state with over 1 million registered voters can be used to represent the state at large.

    Know much about polling? If done right, it can be pretty accurate.

    This is a blow to Al-Qaida. Seems this could hurt their african recruitment. There goes all those black muslims wanting to side with Al-Qaida.
