Voters=Infidels
Osama bin Laden has issued a tape warning Iraqi's who plan on voting in the upcoming election that they will be considered "infidels" by al Qaeda (via Protein Wisdom).
Got that? Democracy="Being An Infidel" to these crazies.
Freedom and democracy are within reach, but the enemies to those ideals have thrown down the gauntlet. Now Iraqis have a choice. They can knuckle under to their extremist and oppressive brethren and stay home on election day or go to the polls and fight for a new day.
Unfortunately, this isn't a choice we can make for them. If they make the wrong one now no amount of help from America will bail them out.
Fox News - The Arabic-language satellite television channel al-Jazeera said Monday it had received a new audiotape in which Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden appeared to call on Iraqis to boycott the upcoming elections.
Al-Jazeera had not yet broadcast the audiotape, but said the voice proclaimed Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as his deputy in Iraq.
Al-Zarqawi, at one time seen as a potential rival to bin Laden for the leadership of the international jihad movement, declared his allegiance to the former Saudi citizen several months ago and renamed his Monotheism and Holy War group "Al Qaeda in Iraq."
Reuters reported that bin Laden declared any Iraqis who voted in the Jan. 30 elections would be regarded as infidels.
