| Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has called for a "long war against infidels and their agents", and warned Muslims that alliances with Christians and Jews would turn them into apostates. "If a Muslim became an ally of the infidels and backed them against Muslims his faith would be annulled and he would become an apostate," said Bin Laden in remarks which came in a recording -- parts of which had been aired by Al Jazeera TV on Wednesday. "Do not take Jews and Christians as allies," he said. "We either live under the light of Islam or we die with dignity ... brace yourselves for a long war against the world's infidels and their agents," said Bin Laden in the recording posted on a website on Thursday. He said Obama had planted "seeds of hatred" among Muslims. His deputy Ayman Al-Zawahri called the US president a criminal in another recording on Tuesday and warned Muslims against falling for his polished words. |
