While Americans and freedom-loving people around the world on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks mourned the lost, others didn’t see the day in such a somber manner.
Al Qaeda released a video referring to the day as a “slap” to the United States, but most concerning was its call for jihadis to carry out more attacks against Americans.
The 20-minute clip featured Ayman Al Zawahiri, the terrorist group’s current leader, who spoke directly to Al Qaeda supporters and sympathizers about their duties. It also showed old footage of Osama bin Laden, the group’s former leader and architect of the Sept. 11 attacks.

“As long as your crimes continue, the events of 9/11 will be repeated thousands of times, by the will of Allah. And we will follow you — if you don’t cease your aggression — until the Day of Judgment,” Zawahiri said on the video, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
The terrorist leader called the deadly attacks “blessed raids” and a “wake-up call” for the U.S. about its relationship with Muslims.
Zawahiri also issued an invitation to African-Americans and used clips of Malcolm X to attempt to persuade them to convert to Islam to help “save” them from the “white majority.”

“We inform every weakened (person) in the world: America is the source of calamity and the head of evil in this world, and it is the thief of nations’ ailment, and it is the one who humiliate the Africans (i.e. African-Americans) until this day, and no matter how much they try to reform and obtain their rights according to the law and the Constitution, they will not attain it, for the law is in the hands of the white majority, (who) control it as they wish. And they will not be saved but by Islam,” Zawahiri said, according to the translation.
Finally, the vile leader issued an order for Muslims around the world to strengthen their attacks on the U.S. and our allies in order to show their loyalty to Al Qaeda and Islam.
Of course, the mainstream media has been silent about this chilling threat because it negates President Barack Obama’s contention that our relations with Muslims in the Middle East is under control.
Unfortunately, we are still at risk of being attacked, and we need a president who recognizes those threats and responds to them with strength and resolve.
