ââ¬Â¢US will 'degrade and destroy' Islamic State: President Obama
(Wait, did Obama just invert the usual islamic protestors' poster of "Allah will destory America"? Obama has a sense of humour.
Humour aside, US didn't even "degrade and destroy" Al Qaeda/Taliban. Oh, but I forgot. Al Qaeda/Taliban works for the US.
Zawahiri has appointed a Pukestani as his right hand man in the subcontinent. The Rajeev2004 blog had a US article on how the US govt has let Paki ISI agents - who were complicit in the Mumabi terror attacks - off the hook under the excuse of "immunity". Of course the US would do that. Because Pakistan ISI works with/for US govt, including all its terrorist activities against India. And Taliban works for the US govt. But also, ISI = the taliban = al qaeda. So, the number of variables reduces greatly.)
Washington: Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has declared in a video message that the global Islamist extremist movement has launched a new branch to lead its struggle in the Indian subcontinent.
In the video, found in online jihadist forums by the SITE terrorism-monitoring group, Dr Zawahiri said the new force would "crush the artificial borders" dividing Muslim populations in the region.
Al-Qaeda is active in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where its surviving leadership are thought to be hiding out.
However, Dr Zawahiri said "Qaedat al-Jihad" would take the fight to India, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
(I.e. AQ = largely an ethnically Indian based khalifate, vs IS = ethnically Arabian based khalifate. Now all we need is for the Iranians to create a Shiite one and the Indonesians/Malay to pick a side. Tsk Tsk, can't believe the Turks allowed themselves to get left out of this one, when they were the last khalifate.)
"This entity was not established today but is the fruit of a blessed effort of more than two years to gather the mujahideen in the Indian subcontinent into a single entity," he said.
(All-important admission there: that all Indian islamic terror cells have long since been fused into one purpose by the ISI=Taliba=AQ. So that Indian islamania=TSP islamania, and the borders between Indian and TSP where subcontinental islamaniacs are concerned was long since gone. Not that people didn't know, just that here's an admission from a key spokesperson.)
Founded by Osama bin Laden, who was killed in Pakistan by US commandos in May 2011, al-Qaeda has long claimed leadership of the jihadists fighting to restore a single caliphate in Muslim lands.
(Boohoo, AQ got knocked off their throne in a single instant when IS supplanted their dreams of caliphate with a faster/stronger/better force that produced immediate results. C.f. how AQ didn't achieve much for islam. AQ should actually commit suicide for their total failure and clear the ground for IS to try. Haven't these people seen movies? No second chances are ever given to villain's minions.
Anyway, inspired by IS' success in Iraq, AQ will soon be trying to take one Hindu city in India etc after another by violent force. I'm sure this is in the cards. At least there will be no more Bleeding Hearts Associations.)
But since the death of its figurehead, it has been somewhat eclipsed, first by its own offshoots in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and now by the Islamic State fighting in Iraq and Syria.
(Oh yeah, that's so true! African AQ and Arabian AQ were *so* much more competent than the stupid ethnically-Indian AQ/muslim morons of Af-Pak. Let's face it: subcontinental islam is just Loser, and regarded as such by the rest of the islamic world: only useful as foot-soldiers. Which is what everyone from Arabia to Iranians to Turks used them for. There was no real "ethnically Indian" muslim rule in India, was there? All the rulers were from Arabia, Iran and Turkish, else their descendants. Only the minions were the lame Indian converts.
I suppose this video is the beginning of pathetic Indian islamania's bid to be noticed by the rest of the islamic world. I hear Arabic muslims laughing. But then, they did always jeer at subcontinental muslims.)
While still regarded as a threat to the West, the group has never managed to repeat the success of the September 11, 2001 attacks by hijacked airliners on New York and Washington.
But, in launching "Qaedat al-Jihad in the Indian subcontinent", in a video partly in his native Arabic and partly in the Urdu of his presumed Pakistani base, Dr Zawahiri attempted to regain some of the limelight.
"It is an entity that was formed to promulgate the call of the reviving imam, Sheikh Osama bin Laden. May Allah have mercy upon him," Dr Zawahiri said.
He called on the "umma", or Muslim nation, to unite around "tawhid", or monotheism, "to wage jihad against its enemies, to liberate its land, to restore its sovereignty and to revive its caliphate".
He said the group would recognise the overarching leadership of the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar, be led by Pakistani militant Asim Umar, and employ a spokesman.

Al-Qaeda sets up new wing in Indian subcontinent
DPA
Terrorist group al-Qaeda on Wednesday announced the launch of its new wing in the Indian subcontinent with head Ayman al-Zawahiri announcing the plan in a 55-minute video message on the internet.
Al-Zawahiri called on Muslims to ââ¬Åwage jihad against its enemies, to liberate its land, to restore its sovereignty and to revive its caliphate.ââ¬Â
ââ¬ÅAl-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinentââ¬Â will be led by Asim Umar, chief of al-Qaedaââ¬â¢s Sharia Committee in Pakistan.
Al-Zawahiri said the new outfit would be good for Muslims suffering injustice and oppression in Myanmar, Bangladesh and parts of India such as Kashmir, Gujarat and Assam.
The al-Qaeda leader also reaffirmed his loyalty to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
Anti-terrorism specialists believe that al-Qaeda is in competition with the group Islamic State, which controls swathes of Syria and Iraq, for followers, the BBC report said.
