AL-QAEDA yesterday delivered a sharp racial insult to Barack Obama, the president-elect of the United States, in a video that warns of catastrophe if he escalates the war in Afghanistan.
In the recording, purportedly narrated by Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second in command and chief propagandist, he uses the Arabic phrase abeed al-beit, which translates as "house slaves".
But in the video message, posted on Islamic militant websites, al-Qaeda supplied English subtitles that translated the phrase as "house negroes".

i think it was a calculated risk tinged with a little anti-semitism.
they are not all ignorant cave dwellers. they saw how well obama was
received by countries and wish to further their jihadist agenda. by issueing
a "dated" statement like that, they are attempting to inflame the psyche
of as many arabs as possible. to most "readers" it sounds like the idiot
read the autobiography of malcoln x about 25 years too late...
in short, he looked and sounded like a friggin' clown.  |
