Al-Qaeda Leader, Ayman al-Zawahri pushes for Kidnapping Westerners in Exchange for Imprisoned Al-Qaeda

The leader of Al-Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahri recently uploaded a video trying to push for the kidnapping of westerners for imprisoned Al-Qaeda. This news is disturbing. Within the video Ayman commands the abduction of people from "countries waging wars on Muslims," he also said "this is the only language which they [us] understand." Ayman also supports the violence going on in Syria and is for the Syrian uprising. Even more disturbing news, Ayman urges for the upholding of Islamic Shariah law in Egypt. Ayman is pushing the Islamic Shariah law to be placed into the new constitution of Egypt. Fear of supression of free expression, women and minorities rights is apparent within the general population of Egypt. Ayman insists the "Shariah must be the source of legislation," combining religion and government is dangerous and will undoubtedly create violence if this allowed to happen. Ayman called for muslims who border Syria to support the uprising, stating "I urge Muslims everywhere...torise up to support the brothers in Syria, to get rid of the cancerous criminal regime...Syrian people have the right to defend themselves with all means," this is going to create more violence and it is unacceptable that world powers are doing nothing to rid Syria of the violence. Peaceful negotiation can be upheld in Syria with boots on the ground, we can stop thousands of innocent lives from ending. Someone must act soon, and Ayman must be stopped. Ayman is the greatest threat to global peace, he utilizes his rank, religion and charisma to promote violence and to strike terror accross the globe.
