Egypt - The No. 2 al-Qaeda, al-Zawahiri, trafficking Obama (an apostate?), Condi Rice and Colin Powell as "niggers service", by Marie-Êve Marineau
And some argue that only whites can be racist ...
We see that the Islamists, who capitalized on widespread anti-Americanism, are destabilized by the global wave of sympathy to President-elect ...
In the words of Zawahiri reported by the BBC, Obama, born of a Muslim father, is accused of having betrayed the Islamic world. In the Muslim world, these remarks can be understood as an accusation of apostasy (a crime punishable by death under Islam).
***********
CAIRO, Egypt - In what is the first reaction of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda to elect Barack Obama, the No. 2 al-Qaida, Ayman al-Zawahiri, insulted by designating by epithets Racism and humiliating implying that the President-elect is a Black American to serve whites.
Click here to watch the video.
The message seems to convince Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Al-Zawahiri said in a message broadcast on militant Internet sites that Obama is "the opposite of black Americans honorable" as Malcolm X, the leading African-American 1960s.
Al-Zawahri also called Obama, and the secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, the "Negroes service."
Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term abeed al-Beit, which translates literally as "domestic slave". But the English subtitles produced by Al-Qaeda translate the term as "negro service."
The message also includes images of old Malcolm X speech in which he explains the term, saying that the black slaves who worked in the house of their white masters were more servile than those who worked the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders whom he accused of not standing face to whites.
The 11-minute video includes the audio message Al-Zawahri, who could see a still image with other images that one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap during a meeting with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a U.S. air attack in Afghanistan on November 5, which means that the video was produced after that date.

The BBC adds the following:
Zawahiri also criticized Mr. Obama - whose father is a Muslim - to have betrayed the Islamic world.
"You are born to a Muslim father, but you have chosen the camp of enemies of Muslims and to the prayers of Jews, even if you tell Christian to climb the ladder of leadership in America," at - he said.
