Check out the headline on this Reuters piece about Ayman al-Zawahri's latest call to attack the Jews and Americans wherever you can: Zawahri urges anti-Israel attacks over Gaza
Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri called for attacks on Israeli and Western targets to avenge Israel's raids on the Gaza Strip, in an audio tape posted on the Internet on Monday.
"O Muslims. Today is your day. Hit the interest of the Jews and the Americans and all those who participated in the aggression against Muslims," said the speaker on the tape who sounded like Zawahri.
"Monitor the targets, collect the money, prepare the hardware, plan accurately and then attack," he added, without specifically naming any targets. "No one can say today that we should fight the Jews in Palestine only."...
..."Let them know that they would bleed for every dollar they spend on killing Muslims," Zawahri said.
"They cannot ... insult our prophet and support Israel, and expect to live in peace in their countries," he added, referring to the publication in the West of cartoons mocking Prophet Mohammad...
Perhaps he just has legitimate criticisms of government policy to make.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

I think he's just upset about the slow pace the bureaucracy takes in issuing building permits in east Jerusalem. Must be that.
