Not Ready to Make Nice

Al Qaeda seems unimpressed with our president elect:

The second-in-command of Islamic militant network al-Qaeda has hit out at US President-elect Barack Obama.

In a message purportedly from Ayman al-Zawahiri, the al-Qaeda deputy called Mr Obama a “house negro” – a demeaning term implying he served white people.

Mr Obama’s plan to bolster the US military presence in Afghanistan would fail, Zawahiri said.

Yeah, well. You just let us worry about that.

    Well, he DOES serve white people, too.

    But wait a minute. Wasn’t islam the only religion to forbid racism in it’s scriptures?

    OK, so Mr Qaedas are showing it’s not about religion anymore? Boys, time to use the heavy gear.

    “Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term “abeed al-beit,” which literally translates as “house slaves.” But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as “house negroes.”… ”

    (Writes Robert Spencer) Actually abeed means both “slave” and “black person,” so Al-Qaeda’s translation is just fine. (end Spencer)

    Remember, Obama’s absent daddy was a black Muslim from Kenya. He has no “legacy of slavery” to shed. He will, however, irritate the Hell out of all those Arabs who know they are Allah’s people and that blacks and other dark-skinned peoples are, at best, sort of third-class Muslims. When they’re not infidels, of course.

    Which actually gives me a reason to like Obama.

    “I’m your worst nightmare; I’m a house-negro with an executive commission…”

    That’s almost as rich as if Lieberman had been elected:

    Hi! I’m the leader of the free world, in charge of the most powerful nation in human history.

    Oh, and I’m Jewish…

    Cue the cacophonous sounds of sphincters snapping shut across southwest Asia… Heh…

    Just who did Zawahiri expect to impress with this slander? No, really.

    I’m guessing he doesn’t understand the Jacksonian tradition in American politics.

    Zane: ditto. :)

    Greetings:

    I’m thinking that nobody has explained what a “sand negro” is the al-Zawahiri.
