#6 Al-Qaeda leader: Moving embassy to Jerusalem is proof the US is enemy of Islam

No, we're not the enemy of Islam. But we should be.

And on 9/11 and for a little while after, I had hope that we'd finally awakened, and were ready to recognize Islam for what it is: a totalitarian murder cult.

But that illusion ended when George W. Bush started spouting his "Islam is a religion of peace" nonsense.

And we've continued to regress into even more infantile fantasies since then, with the Democratic Party and the entire progressive establishment having adopted Muslims as their latest "officially recognized poor helpless victims of Western colonialist oppression."

9/11 was a wake-up call. We responded by hitting the SNOOZE button and going right back to sleep.

I shudder to think what it would take to REALLY wake us up; in our present state, I'm not sure even getting a half-dozen of our biggest cities nuked would do it.

#9 Bin Laden had two mentors, Shaykh Azzam in Saudi Arabia and then Peshawar, and Zawahiri, whose role began in the mid 1980s. Zawahiri won out (and was likely responsible for Azzam's assassination). On the defeat of the Soviets Azzam wanted the Islamists to turn their attention to Palestine. Zawahiri, an Egyptian, wanted them to attack Egypt and the West in General, and a fatwa was issued supporting that thesis in August 1988. It was not until a decade later that Zawahiri agreed with Bin Laden that their particular enemy was the USA, and a fatwa was issued in Afghanistan. For twenty years Bin Laden and Zawahiri have been issuing anathemas against the USA. This recent charge is nothing new, but is important because Zawahiri has been relatively silent for quite some time.

#10 The last pronouncement from Dr. Al-Zawahiri seen in our archive was on 15 May, 2018. He was exercised about President Trump moving the embassy to Jerusalem. See here.
