Debbie Schlussel: New Qaeda Tape Features American Azzam Al-Amriki a/k/a Adam Gadahn
ABC News' Brian Ross reported, late last night, on the new Al-Qaeda tape, released to mark the anniversary of the 7/7 London subway bombing. (Brief video here.)
The new tape features not just Bin Laden and mastermind Ayman Al-Zawahiri, but Azzam Al-Amriki ("the American"), who used to be American Adam Gadahn.
Flashback: Read my piece on Gadahn's American Imam Muzammil Siddiqi--who converted Gadahn to Islam and the extremist he is today.
President Bush invited this terror-supporter, Siddiqi, to the White House just after 9/11 (and since) and accepted a Koran from him, noting the "Religion of Peace," er . . . forced submission. Ironically, "Siddiqi" means "righteous one." When someone converts an American to extremist Islam, it's hardly righteous (except in Islam) and the last place that someone should be is in the White House feted by the Prez.
A better choice: Club Gitmo.
