A recent article detailed the video response from Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's top deputy, which coldly acknowledged the election of Present-elect Obama.
In the video, Zawahri gave little to the election, saying that Obama's new face for the presidency is merely only masked "a hearted full of hatred." Additionally, Zawahri took swipes at Obama's personal character, calling him a hyprocrit and a traitor to his race, and compared him unfavorably to Malcolm X.
The article did a great job giving the significance of this comparison, as the article explained Zawahri's motives in bringing up Malcolm X and using descriptives such as "house negro" for Obama, Condoleza Rice, and Colin Powell, as Zawahri was trying to speak to the country's African-American muslims.
Also worth noting is that with the Zawahri's video uploaded on the webpage, being able to watch it gave another dimension to the story.
The article can be found here.
