12 septembre<\/a>), Pape poursuit son travail en nous faisant part de ses constats quant aux motifs de militants d’Al Qa\u00efda.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abThere is no better way to understand the enemy than to listen to how it recruits new suicide bombers to kill us. In July, Al Qaeda released its most recent recruitment video, encouraging Muslims to carry out new attacks similar to the July 7 bombings in London last year. The video is stunning in its absence of religious declamation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe first speaker is Shehzad Tanweer, one of the actual 7\/7 bombers, who explains that he intended to punish the non-Muslims of Britain because your government has openly supported the genocide of over 15,000 innocent Muslims in Fallujah, the site of a major Western military operation in Iraq in 2004.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe second speaker is Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda’s second in command, who reiterates that Shehzad’s motivation was the repression which the British are perpetrating in Iraq and other Muslim countries.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbFinally, the main event: Adam Gadahn, a 28-year old American citizen, born of Jewish and Christian parents, who converted to Islam as a teenager and has lived with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan since 1998. Gadahn is the new voice and new weapon of Al Qaeda. In his long recruitment appeal, he never mentions 72 virgins or the benefits Islamic martyrs receive in Heaven. Instead, he speaks to an earthly motive: revenge for Western military atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbI know<\/em>[Western combat forces] killed and maimed civilians in their strikes because I’ve seen it with my own eyes … I’ve carried the victims in my arms: women, children, toddlers, babies in their mother’s wombs, Gadahn says. When we bomb their cities and civilians like they bomb ours, or destroy their infrastructure and means of transportation like they destroy ours … they should blame no one but themselves. Because they are the ones who started this dirty war and they are the ones who will end it … by pulling out of our region and keeping their hands out of our affairs.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbTo make sense of Al Qaeda’s campaign against the United States and its allies, I compiled data on the 71 terrorists who took their own lives carrying out attacks sponsored by Osama bin Laden’s network between 1995 and 2004. These men are drawn from two groups: those who feel harmed and humiliated by foreign military occupation, and those who identify with the plight of a kindred ethnic group under foreign occupation.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
