'Obama Did Not Change the Image of America Among Muslims...America Is Still Killing Muslims'

How long until the media comes out with a story telling us Obama is more popular in jihadi caves that Ayman al-Zawahri?

Al Qaeda's second-in-command told Muslims not to be fooled by U.S. President Barack Obama's policies which, he said on an Islamist website on Monday, are no different to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

"America came to us with a new face, with which it is trying to fool us. He is calling for change, but (he aims) to change us so that we abandon our religion and rights," Ayman al-Zawahri said in an audio recording on the website.

Zawahri said Obama's election was an acknowledgement that Bush's policy had failed.

"Obama did not change the image of America among Muslims...America is still killing Muslims," said the Egyptian militant leader.

Obama has vowed to continue fighting terrorism, and has promised a change in U.S. policies under Bush, who waged a war against terrorism after al Qaeda's 9/11 attacks in 2001.
