al-Qaeda No. 2 discusses U.S. economic crisis – USATODAY.com<\/a><\/p>\n

al-Qaeda’s No. 2 leader appeared in a new video Friday calling on Americans to embrace Islam to overcome the financial meltdown, which he described as a consequence of the Sept. 11 attacks.
\n….
\nAppearing in his white turban and robe, Zawahri discussed the roots of the U.S. economic crisis and said it was a repercussion of the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States.<\/p>\n

“The American economy was afflicted by a downturn and loss of investor confidence in the market following the events of Sept. 11,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The modern economy has been destroyed by the strikes of the mujahedeen (in Iraq and Afghanistan) and the usury,” he said, using the Arabic term for holy warriors.<\/p>\n

Under Islamic Sharia law, usury, like drinking alcohol, is among the grand sins.<\/p>\n

Zawahri then called on the American people to “embrace Islam to live a life free of greed, exploitation and forbidden wealth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, that’s going to be a big seller. <\/p>\n

Convert to Islam. Be poor. Like most of the rest of the world’s muslims who don’t own oil wells and aren’t dictators or royalty.<\/p>\n

Have you noticed how much Islam speak can sound like Lefty neo-socialist speak? Just change a word: “Embrace socialism and national health care to live a life free of greed, exploitation and forbidden wealth.”<\/p>\n
