Al-Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri<\/a> the world’s most wanted terrorist, while rumored to be dead, suddenly surprised the world, revealing he was closely watching Indian news and in his nine-minute video complimented Muskan Khan, the poster girl of pro-Hijab protests across India, even calling\u00a0 Muskan Khan ‘sister’,\u00a0 and the Al-Qaeda chief said he was so moved by her act, especially the raising of “cries of Takbeer” stating that he learned about Muskan Khan from videos and social media signifying that he is closely following Indian events and politics.<\/p>\nMuskan’s father, Mohammad Hussain Khan, alarmed while speaking to India Today distanced himself from the video statement released by Al-Qaida chief Ayman Al Zawahiri, calling the comments of Zawahiri leader “wrong”, and said he and his family were living peacefully in India.<\/p>\n
Stating that such incidents are disturbing the peace of the family, he said the police and state government can initiate any inquiry to ascertain the truth and said,\u00a0“We don’t know anything about it (video), we don’t know who he is. I saw him today for the first time. He has said something in Arabic…..We are all living here with love and trust like brothers,” Mohammad Hussain Khan told reporters in response to a question on Zawahiri’s video.<\/p>\n
When questioned on Zawahiri praising Muskan, he said, “People say whatever they want….this is unnecessarily causing trouble. We are living peacefully in our country, we don’t want him to talk about us, as he is not related to us… it is wrong, it is an attempt to create division among us.”<\/p>\n
In the Arabic video clip, with English subtitles provided by SITE Intelligence Group that tracks the online activity of white supremacist and jihadist organizations, Zawahiri also reads out a poem, which he says he wrote for “our Mujahid sister” and for her “brave feat”. “May Allah reward her for exposing the reality of Hindu India and the deception of its pagan democracy,” the Al-Qaida chief said in the video saying, “\u2018Muslims are oppressed in Hindu democracy\u2019.<\/p>\n
The video was titled \u201cThe Noble Woman of India\u201d, depicting Muskan Zainab Khan, where Zawahiri recited and dedicated a poem he had composed to praise her.<\/p>\n
