"Al-Qaeda Second-in-Command Issues Violent Comment on Proposed Peace Process"

Message from Ayman Al-Zawahiri, October 9,2008:

Oh Allah, who delivered this land to our ancestors, who filled it with life and looks over us even now – who watches his people, downtrodden and humiliated, and waits for the day when there will be justice!

Too long have the people of Allah been oppressed, too long have our lands been filled with the devils of the West! To long have our Holy Places been defiled by their verminous hearts, their wicked thoughts, their murderous deeds! Too long has this land, our land, been flooded with the blood of innocent Muslims, men and women and their young children, so sweet in the eyes of our Lord!

Now these oppressors, these murderers, these cronies of the United States and evil suppliers to Israel, claim to ask us for peace. They claim to seek a solution. But they care nothing for our people, the Muslim people, or for the people of Palestine. There will be no peace while the Zionist-Crusader alliance is allowed to stay in our homeland! There will be no peace until the mighty bastions of the West have fallen, and the Zionist invaders are driven from our lands!

O Arab nations, you who claim to heed the word of Almighty Allah – if you do indeed fear your Lord, if you dare to call yourselves followers of the Holy Qur’an, reject the words of these devils!

There can be no peace, no negotiation. Negotiation is a betrayal of our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

In the words of Almighty God, "And why should ye not fight in the cause of God and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? -- women and children, whose cry is: 'Our Lord, rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will help!'"

We must heed the word of our Almighty Lord; we must rescue our brethren from the Zionists and Crusaders! Reject the words of the United States, of the West and the Zionists; reject their invitation for talks, for they speak the words of murderers, of liars, of those who have indeed turned their backs on the way of God. Fight, fight for our lands - fight for the people of Palestine! - and do not stop until every last invader lies dead!

A Message from Mr. Mohammad Mahdi Akef – Chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood
All praises be to the Lord of the whole universe; and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family and followers till the Day of Judgment.

The Muslim Brotherhood calls upon our brothers in Allah to reject the American and Zionist scheme for the region. The Zionist conquerors have confiscated not only the Land of Palestine, but the rights and pride of the Palestinian people. In addition, the Zionists continue to claim further land for Israel in the form of settlements. The Palestinian people are continually harassed at Israeli checkpoints and unable to move freely, even in the West Bank. The Muslim Brotherhood joins our brothers at Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad in the condemnation of the policies of Israel.

“The believers are nothing else than brothers” (49:10)

Though the Muslim Brotherhood sees eye to eye on the violations of Israel, the Muslim Brotherhood differs in the means to resolve the conflict from our Islamist organization counterparts. Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad have favored a violent rebuke of Zionist policies. These irrational outbursts of violence are counterproductive and do nothing but distract from the suffering of the Palestinians. The response of the Israelis to the violence would undoubtedly be an overreaction, further amplifying the misery of the Palestinians. In a broader sense, the violent acts perpetuate a negative stereotype of Arabs and Islam.

The Muslim Brotherhood rejects all forms of violence. We wish for a peaceful resolution of the conflict with a united Arab front against the Zionists and Americans. The most prudent step for the welfare of the Palestinians is for the Muslim Brotherhood to have an active role in the negotiations and let our voices be heard in the international community.
