(Washington, DC - 1/19/06) The Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism urges the United States to reject bin Laden’s call for a truce and to continue hunting him down.

The al-Jazeera satellite television network played an audio-video of Osama bin Laden, warning that his terrorist network is preparing new terrorist attacks in the United States.

Ironically, in the very same audio tape, he indicated that he is open to a truce with the United States in response to changing public U.S. opinion against the war in Iraq.

The Free Muslims Coalition Against Terrorism interpreted bin Laden’s remarks as a sign of weakness and an attempt to divide the American people.

On one hand he stated that attacks on the United States maybe forthcoming and on the other hand, he conditioned his attacks on the U.S. leaving Iraq and Afghanistan. The Free Muslims reminds the American people that bin Laden attacked the United States before the United States invaded Afghanistan or Iraq. In fact, it is precisely because bin Laden attacked the United States that the United States invaded Afghanistan and sent bin Laden and his colleagues on the run.

The United States should ignore bin Laden’s offer of truce and continue the search for him until he and everyone in his network is brought to justice.

Moreover, the Free Muslims would like to remind everyone about the “Eye on Extremism” program that was enacted in 2004.

In return, the Free Muslims will pass along all information to the proper authorities.
