Al Qaeda to Iran: Stop Spreading 9/11 Conspiracy Theory
Source: ABC News

The terror group al Qaeda has found itself curiously in agreement with the "Great Satan" -- which it calls the U.S. -- in issuing a stern message to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: stop spreading 9/11 conspiracy theories.

In the latest issue of the al Qaeda English-language magazine "Inspire", an author appears to take offense to the "ridiculous" theory repeatedly spread by Ahmadinejad that the 9/11 terror attacks were actually carried out by the U.S. government in order to provide a pretext to invade the Middle East.

"The Iranian government has professed on the tongue of its president Ahmadinejad that it does not believe that al Qaeda was behind 9/11 but rather, the U.S. government," an article reads. "So we may ask the question: why would Iran ascribe to such a ridiculous belief that stands in the face of all logic and evidence?"

Though Iran was the first of the two to use the "Great Satan" as a synonym for the U.S., the author claims that Iran sees itself as a rival for al Qaeda when it comes to anti-Americanism and was jealous of the 9/11 attacks.

2. Weird-o-ramma...
Ok, the players in this little drama seem to be going off character.

The ruthless terrorists are now telling Iran that they're "jealous" of their
big terrorist victories and to just shut up about the plan being a hoax?

Oh geez.

It just keeps getting more and more absurd.

You know how someone lies about something--and you have this weird feeling that they're
lying, because something feels off, but you're just not sure what. Then, they keep talking
and time passes, and they keep adding more and more--until they just sound ridiculous. Then
you know it was all a lie. That's what all of this feels like.

3. That's hysterical--when AQ starts dressing down the Dinner Jacket, he's
pretty much outta credibility!

The poor people of Iran, trapped under the authority of that nitwit and a crew of asshole Ayatullahs!

And yeah--I would have thought ONION, too, if not for the link!!!!

5. Brian Ross and the "Investigative Unit" at ABC news are notorious bullshit artists
Edited on Wed Sep-28-11 12:11 AM by Cali_Democrat
Remember those "imminent" September 11th anniversary truck bombs that were supposed to go off a few weeks ago? Ya, me neither. Brian Ross originated that story.

The corporate-controlled MSM swept that under the rug like nobody's business once the anniversary passed. Are they still looking for those evil terrorists that illegally made it into the country looking to set off those truck bombs? Likely not. It was nothing more than psyops. Those "terrorists" never even existed.

I can't believe people still swallow this bullshit whole hog.

20. +1.
CIA plant was the first thing I thought when I read it. The wording and everything and the fact that they were the ones that came up with the name "Al Qaeda".

7. Why isn't he quoting the actual speech ? He basicly lists MIHOP LIHOP and OCT
Please take note: it was said that some three thousands people were killed on September 11th, for which we are all very saddened. Yet, up until now, in Afghanistan and Iraq hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, millions wounded and displaced and the conflict is still going on and expanding.

In identifying those responsible for the attack, there were three viewpoints.

1- That a very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack. This is the main viewpoint advocated by American statesmen.

2- That some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime. The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view.

3- It was carried out by a terrorist group but the American government supported and took advantage of the situation. Apparently, this viewpoint has fewer proponents. The main evidence linking the incident was a few passports found in the huge volume of rubble and a video of an individual whose place of domicile was unknown but it was announced that he had been involved in oil deals with some American officials. It was also covered up and said that due to the explosion and fire no trace of the suicide attackers was found.

12. I remember that Onion clip!
The funniest thing about that was how many of the Alex Jones NWO Nuts thought it was real in the comment section!

...Now we have a real version Iran vs Al Qaeda! LOL!

Thanks for posting!

10. LOL, this "Inspire" magazine is a hoax- Rachel Maddow ripped it apart months ago.
Edited on Wed Sep-28-11 01:11 AM by Poll_Blind
Does anyone remember the "How to Make a Bomb...in the Kitchen of Your Mom" piece that Rachel did? This is that magazine.

You can view her piece here

:rofl:

BTW, you everyone should watch that piece she did. It's effin' hilarious!

11. That's over a year ago, Wikipedia has a much more comprehensive article on the magazine:
Edited on Wed Sep-28-11 01:43 AM by joshcryer

I watched Maddow's full video and she didn't say that it was a hoax, she said it may be, and that if it isn't, then it's hilarious.

13. A hoax suggests a parody. There is also the possibility that it's bait, or a lure, intended to
identify potential terrorist recruits. Now, it appears, it's being used for the dual purpose of anti-Iranian propaganda (not a difficult project, it appears, given some of their statements). That's suggested by the following:


While the SITE Institute and at least one senior U.S. government official have described Inspire as authentic, there has been some speculation on jihadist websites and elsewhere that the magazine, due to its low quality, may have been a hoax.<31> This view has been advocated, in particular, by Max Fisher, a writer for The Atlantic.<32> Fisher listed five reasons to suspect the publication is a hoax.<32> According to Fisher, the portable document format (PDF) file that contained the first issue also contained a computer virus. Fisher noted that the magazine contained an article by Abu Mu'sab al-Suri, noting that al-Suri had been in Guantanamo since 2005, and that whether he was actually tied to al Qaeda remained unclear.

Peter Bergen, the national security analyst for CNN, describing it as "a slick Web-based publication, heavy on photographs and graphics that, unusually for a jihadist organ, is written in colloquial English", on 31 March 2011 discussed the column of Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a leader of AQAP, in its fifth issue.<33>

17. Al Queda = CIA.
Of course the CIA is going to use their puppet attack dog on a leash to criticize anyone that is not going along with "the script."

18. It has been pointed out ad nauseum here that al Qaeda and Iran are not friends.
I doubt that Ahm-an-idjit gives a crap about what al Qaeda thinks about anything.

Just because they both dislike us does not mean they like each other.

19. The propaganda arm of the US government ie MSM
The sad thing is that people really believe this stuff. I have to say that this one is pretty ridiculous. Ranks right up there with killing Bin Laden and dumping him in the ocean.

21. I think this is all a PsyOpps effort
Dinner Jacket is getting too close to the truth and focusing too much scrutiny and attention to the issue the Sheeple can not and do not want to look at, and that is The Official Conspiracy or the Official Story of the events of 9/11.

25. Well, if 9/11 conspiracy theory is correct, there is no such thing as al-Qaeda.
It is just a collection of CIA-controlled cells, most of them virtual. What's publishing a little
online magazine for the organization which brought Twin Towers down?
