One will not find a true message of Islam from an al-Qaeda tape. People like al-Zawahari ignore the truth because it would get in the way of their terrorist agenda.
From the Quran (emphasis added):
4:29 O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves...
4:92 Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely.
4:93 If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.
How can al-Zawahari and those who follow his lead even pretend to be Muslims given their suicide bombings and daily murders of Muslims in Iraq?
Al-Qaeda has hijacked more than planes. They've hijacked a religion, and are preventing, for now, the truth of that faith from being fully understood and realized. We can only hope that the true Muslims will be able to take back their faith, just as has been done in other religions over time.
