Ayman sez "Convert or die!"
 Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri urged Americans to convert to Islam in a video featuring a converted US national sought by the FBI, who spoke particularly to American soldiers. In the 48-minute video, Zawahiri presented "Azzam the American," and urged the "American people in particular and Westerners in general to listen to the extremely serious words of our brother Azzam the American concerning their fate."
"Our brother Azzam the American is trying to lead his own (people) from obscurity towards the light. Listen to him," insisted Zawahiri, who wore a white tunic and turban.
| Time is running out. Choose the right path before it is too late, before you meet the sad end that thousands have already known... |
In an Arabic translation of a poorly audible English statement, a man previously identified by the FBI as Adam Yahiye Gadahn said: "I call on all Americans and other infidels to embrace Islam." Gadahn, who also recited Koranic verses in fluent Arabic, was also dressed in white tunic and turban. "I call especially on those who have fought for the illusory Crusader plan of (US President George W.) Bush in Afghanistan, Iraq and everywhere else, to convert to Islam," he said. "Time is running out. Choose the right path before it is too late, before you meet the sad end that thousands have (already) known," Gadahn added. "You know very well you will not win the war and that Bush and his gang see you as cannon fodder. You know very well that they do not care about your security and that they are not looking out for your welfare."
