Länk - Al-Qaeda försöker bredda sig

It is possible that left-wing extremists in Germany and other parts of Europe will be increasingly attracted to the main contemporary anti-imperialist ideology, Salafi-Jihadism. Al Qaeda itself, in fact, is making more and more efforts to portray itself as the voice not only of oppressed Muslims, but of the downtrodden all over the world. Note Ayman al-Zawahiri’s statement of last week, in which he said, “I want blacks in America, people of color, American Indians, Hispanics, and all the weak and oppressed in North and South America, in Africa and Asia, and all over the world, to know that when we wage Jihad in Allah’s path, we aren’t waging Jihad to lift oppression from the Muslims only, we are waging Jihad to lift oppression from all of mankind….” It remains to be seen how many left-wing revolutionaries will take Zawahiri’s appeal literally.
