Ayman al-Zawahri calls Barack Obama a “House Negro” Update

By Uppity Woman on November 20, 2008 at 2:00 AM in Current Affairs

Why is this swine still walking around, George? Just asking. I mean, if someone were to call him a Towel Head, that would be racist, right?

We have enough race baiting coming from Obama and his sycophants. Now this jerk has to help out.

Al-Zawahri also called Obama — along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — “house negroes.”

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.”

But I’m sure that these comments below are not “nearly” as offensive, right?


“America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always,” the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said.
He said Obama’s plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.
“Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them,” he said.

Update: Quipster found this video of Malcolm X’s “House Negro” speech, which probably is the point of reference al-Zawahri used in his video, calling out Obama as less then Malcolm X.

To the Muslims, Obama has committed apostasy, here is why…..

“It is further understood by Islamic laws that the children born of a Muslim man must be raised as Muslims, which means that the religion of the children born of a Muslim man must be Islam. Therefore, it is obvious that Barack Obama is considered, according to Islamic Shari’a, a Muslim regardless of whether he practiced the religion of Islam in dedication to the prayers, paying the ‘zakat’ (alms giving), or going to Mecca for pilgrimage, or any of the other conditions prescribed by the Quran for Muslims to follow. Those conditions are important for any Muslim to be in good standing within his religion, but they do not cause a Muslim to be considered an apostate if he decides not to follow these conditions. Under these circumstances, Barack Hussein Obama is, without any doubt, a Muslim because he was born of a Muslim father. Obama claims that his father became atheist later in life; that creates more problems to the father, because the Islamic Shari’a considers a Muslim who becomes atheist (Arabic, zindeeq) as bad as is the apostate, and subject to the death penalty.

Apostasy in Islam (Al Radda)

All Muslim theologians agree that a Muslim who converts to any other religion (Arabic, murtadd), is subject to the death penalty. This is based on what the …”

I find this attack on three of our public servants incredibly offensive. I may have issues with all three of them on policy and some of their past deeds, but this p*sses me off. Obama may be a lying, cheating snake, but he’s our lying cheating snake. (-;

Yeah, why haven’t we taken these bozos down yet?

i understand your religion is taken extremely serious but when do you under stand that it is just that, a religion. it’s a choice to practice or not to practice, to believe or not to believe. people are people before the choose to practice a religion. get real and stop being a follower. use your own brain and stop with the blind faith. not one dead individual has come back from the after life to validate any of your beliefs about what happens after you die no matter what you believe. Leave Obama alone so he can try his best to get this country straight. He’s got to be better than the last 8 years no matter what he does.

Al-Zawahri is finishing his rants against Bush and warming up with Obummer now.

just so people know ,Harry Belafonte, a black man said that about Colin Powell years ago. And i a black woman found it insulting when a historically black schools rather have Hillary clinton vs condi rice give a commencement speech, not that hillary isn’t grand but wouldn’t the first black female SOS have some wisdom to impart to young black women. this si what blacks say about condoleezza behind her back so excuses me if i am not pricked when it’s used against Obama. I’m not a republican but i believe all blacks achieving historical accomplishments not just democratic ones should be honored. Plus if there was ever an example of blinding american greed the obama’s and their hundreds and millions of dollars of unaccounted for campaign funds, and their nice big mansion that they got at the expense of their chicago constituents is a great big example of just that type of greed. What they said wasn’t nice but I aint gonna complain.

JozefAL

Why would a “black female SOS” have any special “wisdom to impart to young black women”? Would it be something like “when your white boss takes an important paper from you and he ignores it, just sit back and smile”? Would it be something like “when your white boss tries to pass you off as being an important part of his team but then largely ignores everything you might have to say, just sit back and smile”? Would it be something like “forget that you’re black if you hope to achieve anything that resembles success on an oil company board and then minimize any criticism when you get an oil tanker named in your honor”?
Sorry, but Condi Rice is just as much an exhibit of that “blinding American greed” as Obama. If Condi Rice hadn’t been Dubya’s “brown sugar”, she’d be lucky if anyone knew who she was and the odds of her giving any commencement speeches would be virtually nil (even at “historically black schools”). Let’s not forget that Clarence Thomas was the subject of a boycott at one of those “historically black schools” because the STUDENTS felt (quite legitimately) that his success came at the expense of other blacks. (Thomas, after all, got much of his education through affirmative action programs–the very ones that he was so passionate in speaking against.)

kgirl1028

I don’t have white boss all of my bosses are black. And women too. Also, please do not disrepect Rice when obama road the short bus all the way to the white house. I don’t find it amusing that instead of getting effective leader ship after eight years of bush we are now sentanced to four years of his black clone. Until i see some school records from obama, please refrain from telling me how smart he really is. As it stands now he is an Ivy Legue coke head with very few accomplishments just like Bush. And i guess his possible appointment of hillary clinton means he like a little sugar in his coffee as well.

kgirl1028

oops i’m sorry Hillary Clinton really isn’t obama’s gender preference. Larry Sinclair anyone?

TheAntiBigot

kgirl1028 – are you sure you are not Ayman al-Zawahri, your comments are not that different?

Given that Obama has on here been called a “re-nigger”, “a token” and an affirmative action candidate, has Ayman al-Zawahri joined NoQuarter?

I have a bracelet 2

i think the expression is: he likes some sugar in his tank
mimi

I am also AA, and I agree with kgirl. The political differences I have with Condeleeza Rice have nothing to with the fact that she accomplished a great deal as an AA woman in a climate of institutional racism and misogyny. She is the first black SoS. That is an historic honor and blacks should feel pride at her accomplishment given how hard it is for AAs. She serves as an example of excellence in achievement and that cannot be disregarded being that we have a huge ‘underclass’ still struggling with issues of generational poverty, education and ignorance.

The thing that angers me about Al-Zawarhi’s comments is that he is misappropriating Malcolm X’s remarks. So are all the people who use the terms ‘house Negro’.

Malcolm X lived in a time of radical change and transition of consciousness. He was trying to wake up the masses of black people who suffered extreme issues of self-esteem, and were filled with self-hatred passed down through generations of racism in its most extreme form: segregation, violence both physically and psychologically.

It’s hard for people who did not live through that generation to relate. Since 1965 and the passage of the Civil Rights Amendment, AAs have steadily assimilated into mainstream society. White kids entering college grew up identifying with Will Smith’s Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Unless they are living with deeply racist families or living in segregated communities where whites still harbor extreme racism toward blacks, they can’t absorb what Malcolm X was talking about really.

Even the younger AAs don’t truly understand what it means. For them, it’s a way of invoking peer pressure, forcing AAs to ascribe to a certain sense of blackness. This is how it was used during the Primary when 0bama and his supporters played the race card and called the Clintons racists and any blacks who did not support him ‘Uncle Toms.’

It’s ironic that the term is now being thrown at him. Karma is a bitch and he certainly deserves it.

However, I wish people would stop dredging up these terms. They have no real significance to black people today. Not the way Malcolm X was using them at a time when AAs NEEDED to be awakened from the psychic coma induced by generations of racism.

Those days are done!

We have a POTUS who is a person of color and his election ushered in a post-racial era.

stodgie

mimi, the aa community will sort out rice’s influence in the community i am sure. obama? well i think that will take a lot longer. the media for the most part won’t be of any assistance. it will take strong independent thinking.

mimi

It’s not about Rice’s influence. It’s simply a question of saluting achievement, accomplishment.

Weren’t you listening to how passionate it was for AAs that 0bama become POTUS? It was about achieving a goal that they believed was impossible and would signify that they were part of the fabric of America. His election was a validation of AA’s self-worth.

So much so that they put blinders on and supported a man of color who has no sociological connection to them and has not done anything for black people in his life except get elected.

The point is that AAs held Condoleeza’s politics against her to the point where they don’t consider her one of our own.

To that I say horseshit. She grew up in the community where the little girls were killed in the church bombing. She experienced segregation, I, living in the north, did not.

And yet she educated herself and used her intellectual skills for a great career.

What I find interesting since I’m no longer a Democrat, is how she chose the Republican Party instead of the Democratic one. Given all the misogyny I witnessed coming from Democrats this election cycle, maybe the Repubs were more welcoming to her. They at least welcomed her intelligence and knowledge.

Hard to believe about the Party of ‘racist’ white men. So they would rather suggest that she was a ‘house Negro.’ Sorry, but ‘house Negros’ were simply slaves who did domestic chores as opposed to the back-breaking field work. But they were STILL SLAVES. Field work is physically harsh, but domestic work is hard psychologically. It demands a patient demeanor in the face of so-called civilized brutality.

People need to let go of the rose-colored glasses of Gone with the Wind. No human being enjoys servitude.

Any SoS has to serve at the pleasure of the president. This is why many want Hillary to stay in the Senate. Rice was doing a job no different than any SoS. To call her a ‘house Negro’ is inappropriate. These are her politics. I don’t agree with them, but I respect her career accomplishment since I live in a community of single mothers, high school drop-outs, ex-cons and people who need to observe her accomplishment and learn from it. A person’s politics should have nothing to do with it.

Hear ye. Hear ye.

Rice in an incredibly accomplished woman. Our top universities were clamoring to get her into leadership positions. She’s an accomplished pianist and figure skater as well.

The lady has a resume unlike some other people we’re familiar with.
Wisewoman

Mimi. Thanks for your comments. I am a 65yr old AA female who supported Hillary. I grew up in the south and lived through segregation and marched against it with Dr. King during my college years. You are correct in your historical interpretation of Malcolm X. One thing to add historically. Some not all “house negroes” were children of the slave masters. They encountered brutal hardships by the master’s wife who despised them. Obama is biracial not AA. I wonder if he also received votes because his mother was white and if he would have received the same number of votes if both parents had been black.

socalannie

omg. It’s looks like we’re headed for a bizarre couple of years or so.

Damned — I was hoping that they would make fun of 0-zero’s BIG EARS.

0-zero being a fragile Narcissistic male — has no sense of humor.

I was just reading one of the wire stories on the Osama bin Laudin — surrogate’s insult.

During the campaign there were many comments about 0-zero’s Islamic heritage — and how some conservative extremists would be claiming that 0 was a heretic etc. So now it has started — The fundamentalist Islamic terrorists have fired the first verbal shots.

What a smiling guy in that picture
Zawhari knows that America is going to retreat in the world and that he will soon have the infrastructure to build weapons of mass death in Iraq.

TheAntiBigot

It was the incompetent and corrupt Bush regime that put Al Queda into Iraq.

Reagan – awful, economically illiterate warmongering criminal
Bush Snr – corrupt, linked to the BCCI scandal, economically illiterate
Bush Jr – illiterate.

Touchet

I said this from the start and was laughed out of town. The middle east will spit on Obama. They can’t stand christians, but by their own standards, Obama should be hung for turning away from his muslim heritage. In most of those countries it is law.

Do you really think they want to even have obama in the same room?

It might sound harsh, but its the truth. Obama is a traitor in their eyes. He turned away from his father’s religion to be a christain. They can NEVER let their people think they are buddies with him or its bye bye dictator.

Please no sexists vulgarity against women josefal. A reference like the several you used may be acceptable on DK, but not here. Rice is the REAL DEAL for women, a woman with her own individual decisions, like them or not. Just try and get your own boss in trouble, and see how long you keep your job, Rice has used her personal style of diplomacy with all the men and women she works with.

It is a litmus test of men whether you can handle sexual equality when a woman does not agree with you, how do you handle the conflict? If you verbally attack her sexuality, you need counseling.

See that was easy.

I agree with kgirl 100%(and that almost never happens).

Thank you Uppity , you are a stalwart for we ladies.
Tuppence411

I hate to be so cynical first thing in the morning, but I am what I am…LOL All in all, the Barky Camp must be happy with this message considering what could have come out of al-Zawahri’s mouth. He didn’t praise Barky. He didn’t call him a Muslim or an Arab. In fact, al-Zawahri is accomplishing something Barky hasn’t been able to do to date. He is helping in uniting a divided country under a common cause. No matter who you voted for, Americans will rally together against threats to our secutity and insults to the institution of the Presidency.

I don’t care if people insult the Token Select POTUS. I do it every damn day.

I will enjoy any and every insult made against OToken.

TheAntiBigot

I thought you wanted to renounce your citizenship? WHy do you hate America? Are you now supporting Al Queda?

hootnannie

Al Quaida of course wants only the worst for America and the rest of the West. No matter who the Prez is, it will find something to taunt him/her about. One thing Americans can do is to stop being so overly sensitive about every reference to race, ethnicity, religion, and, yes, even gender. If all works out for him, Bobo will be seen as the most powerful man in the world. He doesn’t need the knee-jerk press getting all breathless because someone calls him a house Negro or makes fun of his ears–implying THAT is somehow racist, of course. (Just look at how Shep Smith got the vapors when Nader said he hopes Bobo won’t be an Uncle Tom.) If Hillary were to be Prez, Al Quaida might have made fun of her pantsuits–just like the pro-BO American MSM–or knee-slapped over her tears in NH. Hmmm….

stodgie

good point hootnannie! it would be nice if they’d get the vapors about the way women are treated. but wait, they are the worst offenders.

Who gives a rats ass about what Al-Mawahri has to say anyway?! Sounds like to me he needs to learn some respect and manners before shooting off his big mouth off. Besides, where in the media has anyone seen Mr. Obama tag him with “Camel jockey”? Exactly, no place, so Al-Mawahri may just want to zip it.
AnninCA

Amazing how the taunts are race-related, huh?

Strawberrybitch

Karma, Ann, she has a wicked sense of humour.

stodgie

after reading this i think back to the campaign and one of the tv spots that showed all the “evil world” leaders having a meeting and getting a call from obama. they lied to him about what they were doing and then laughed at him. hmmm!
karen for Clinton for PRESIDENT not SoS

“Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them,” he said.

{After that quote the article went on to say:}

Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama that he was “facing a Jihadi (holy war) awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see.”

He said Obama’s victory showed Americans acknowledged that President George W. Bush’s policies were a failure and that the result was an “admission of defeat in Iraq.”

But Obama’s professions of support for Israel during the election campaign “confirmed to the Ummah (Islamic world) that you have chosen a stance of hostility to Islam and Muslims,” al-Zawahri said.

So what does obama do? Will he call them “typical Jihadists” or will he just toss them under the bus. Maybe he can send them some kool-ade or hypnotize them? Don’t they get MSNBO there?

Thanks Uppity, we’d be banging our heads on our desks without you.

stodgie

well, karen the tire meets the road now. personally i cannot imagine anyone wanting the job as president. i don’t think obama ever wanted the job just the title.

Clearly Al Zawahari has not been watching those grand reverberated speeches and getting a tingle up his leg!

Aw. Too bad. Can’t win ‘em all Otoken.
I’m a Linda too

Good post. However, doesn’t it suck to admit that yes, Obama is just a new face on what we’ve had these past 8 years.
http://www.TheNextNew.com Johnny Next

I thought Obama “palled around with terrorists.” Nope. It turns out the terrorists hate Obama (obviously.) This is really not much of a story – these folks want to stir up trouble any way they can. They should be ignored.

Karma

Obama was on two foundations with terrorists, and launched his career in Ayers and Dohrn’s living room. Michelle worked with Dohrn at a law firm and they do share political and educational views. That is pallin’ around in the political world, like it or not.

Trying to claim al-Zawahiri calling out Obama is proof that Obama didn’t pall around with the WU members.

Well, that is extremely shallow thinking….LOL.

And suggesting that we should ignore al-Zawahiri is just plain ignorant.
Strawberrybitch

Um yeah, Bush ignored Bin Laden and look where that got us…you knucklehead.

Karma

Exactly….

Why this guy is still walking around?

Do you remember him from the 80s in a courtroom ranting from behind the bars?

It was clear even then that he should be on a watch list for life.

~~

Couldn’t find the video. But if you saw it….instantly you would remember the guy.

Here is an article that refers to it though.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7216127.stm

“In 1981, he was rounded up along with hundreds of other suspected members of the group after several dressed as soldiers assassinated President Anwar Sadat during a military parade in Cairo.

Sadat had angered Islamist activists by signing a peace deal with Israel, and by arresting hundreds of his critics in an earlier security crackdown.

During the mass trial, Zawahiri emerged as a leader of the defendants and was filmed telling the court: “We are Muslims who believe in our religion. We are trying to establish an Islamic state and Islamic society.”

Although he was cleared of involvement in Sadat’s assassination, Zawahiri was convicted of the illegal possession of arms, and served a three-year sentence.

According to fellow Islamist prisoners, Zawahiri was regularly tortured and beaten by the authorities during his time in jail in Egypt, an experience which is said to have transformed him into a fanatical and violent extremist.”
moi61537

This is typical for Egyptians and Saudis. Remember the posters of Ms. Rice showing her w/ exaggerated features and sharp teeth. Egyptians Muslims I knew see Black Africans as sub-human.
morty

Zer0 should plan to rise above all this craziness and prove he is capable, and not just another lacky.
Leibniz08

Zawahiri is around because he is an asset of British Intelligence of which the entire radical Islam programs are a result of British Empire subversive operations. Most radical Islamic groups had open headquarters in London during the 1990′s.

It is Robert Gates who is the founder of Al- Queda as acolyte of Brzezinski back in the 1970′s…Now in charge of the Pentagon! Yes this is true.

Now we are getting news of a new terror attack, by Obama and everyone else. What better pre-attack propaganda than to have the ‘bad guys’insult the globally popular media darling, President elect Obama. What this does is it prepares Obama’s followers to except the response he will use in response to the next 9/11. Remember Joe Biden’s warning….preperations being made by the Weather Underground (the new false flag crew)

TheAntiBigot

They have nothing to do with British intelligence. Al Queda is however linked to mujahaddin, which was heavily funded and armed by that other criminal, Ronald Reagan.
Judy R

I have heard that the British are getting Sharia Law over there as we type. Just google Sharia Law and listen to all the Brits. Canada is also playing around with this. They are having trouble in Minneapolis at the airport with the Muslim cab drivers. They won’t pick anyone up with alcohol with them, and if they find out later, they put them out of their cab on the spot. This is coming to us next????

James

ACORN nuts. ACORN does other fun things like money laundering. Great group of folks.

Why Did Obama-Michelle get into Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac? I don’t trust this C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L One bit.Our financial martke most democrats as will Taking money to bail them out. Down sizeing our military-taking us off Rassia radar alert- Not funding our weapons to keep us safe- so many details if many listen to some of his speeches.It’s like taling to someone else to get a messege across.Now no money.no defences- no guns- no birth certificate and other documents willing to show.More money to
DON’T BE FOOLED BY AL0QAIDA

AIG- OK WE ARE BROKE.And no way to defend ourselves.But al-Qaida calling Obama Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — “house negroes.”ok, I just think that another act to play out from al-Qaida as to say don’t worry buddy,You know we don’t mean it but,we have to say what we have to say to get the attention of of you in another direction,see..I don’t trust the reasons why this was said.I really think it’s just to let us think that they are not with Obama.I just feel strange as things add up. DEPORT OBAMA!!!!
Tim4america not Obama

I think al-Qaida just added Condoleezza Rice name in this as I also think it’s a detour.A detour to let us think that al-Qaida AND Obama are not togethere.

It’s something when things are heating up and someone comes out to somehow make it sound different to let people think the othere way around.I don’t trust al-Qaida or Obama.What’s is being cooked up???

It’s just a set up I feel to take up like al-Qaida is against OBAMA,BUT REALLY A PLOT FOR AMERICA.GET OBAMA OUT OF HERE DEPORT HIM.
cynic

I would hope this disproves the saying “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” to anyone who ever thought it made sense in the first place.
