Ayman al-Zawahri, Al-Qaida's #2 leader, posted a video which conveyed some threatening messages for the president-elect. Not only did he continually hurl racial-historical slurs, but more importantly, referenced a future of hate and hostility from Al-Qaida, the Ummah (the Islamic world), and Afghanistan. Al-Zawahri makes it clear that Obama can be sure that he will be "facing a Jihada (holy war) awakening."
According to al-Zawahri's statements, Obama will not change any of the American policies that are supposedly aimed at oppressing the Muslim population. He has interpreted Obama's professions to support Israel as an insult to Islam and the Muslims, which is why he posted an 11-minute 23-second video to persuade the Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent the kind of change which will benefit them.
This video was posted sometime after the November 5th US airstrike in Afghanistan, as al-Zawahri makes reference to it. Al-Zawahri mocked Obama's plan to deploy troops to Afghanistan, saying they will most certainly resist. He states, "Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them."
