In other words, the same thing the Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide recently called for.

Via MEMRI:

Following are excerpts from a TV show featuring Egyptian Salafist Muhammad Al-Zawahiri, brother of Al-Qaeda leader, which aired on CBC TV on October 4, 2012.

Muhammad Al-Zawahiri: I do not belong to Al-Qaeda or any other organization, but ideologically speaking, I am in agreement with all these organizations. Our common denominator is the Islamic shari’a.

TV host: Are you in agreement with the ideology of Al-Qaeda?

Muhammad Al-Zawahiri: With its ideology, but I’m not involved in its activity. The people in Al-Qaeda follow Sunni ideology.

TV host: But this ideology is manifest in the activity which you say you disagree…

Muhammad Al-Zawahiri: I didn’t say that I disagree with it. I don’t agree or disagree. I am saying that I am not a member of any organization so don’t ask me about things I did not do.

Just as Allah commands us to pray, to go on the Hajj pilgrimage, and to adhere to monotheism, he commands us to wage Jihad and to implement the shari’a. We want to fully implement the shari’a, within legitimate constraints. We will not implement something if the time is not right, if it is bound to lead to undesirable or harmful results. We want to implement our religion as revealed in the shari’a.

Fighting Israel, fighting the Jews is a religious duty incumbent upon all. The Egyptian government should have been fighting the Jewish enemy. Perhaps due to circumstances – its weakness, its interests – the Egyptian government ignored a religious duty incumbent upon it. Not just the Egyptian government – the Jordanian one as well. This is a religious duty incumbent upon all Muslims.
