Date: 2007-11-27 (Tuesday)
Jihad [ ... ] is more akin to a bullet shot years ago that maintains its momentum with no end in sight.
I contend that if Al-Qaeda leaders Osama Bin Laden, or Ayman Al-Zawahri, attempted to revise their ideology, not much would change. On the contrary, new Al-Qaeda leaders would emerge, adopting the same vision and message of their godfathers. They would always find evidence to support their righteousness claiming that those who recanted either strayed from the right path or were coerced.
