Zawahiri also criticised Mr Obama - whose father is Muslim - for betraying the Islamic world.
"You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America," he said.
Mr Obama was not an "honourable black American" like Malcolm X, he said, but an "abeed al-beit" - a word that translates as house slave but was rendered "house negro" in the message's English subtitles.
The audio was accompanied by footage of a speech by Malcolm X in which he distinguished between "field negroes" who hated their white masters and "house negroes" who, he said, were loyal to them.
The Arabic word Zawahiri used is "murtad", which literally translates as Apostate.
In Islam, an Apostate is subject to be stoned to death.

Murtad, LOL
Sorry to be a skeptic, but isn't this all too convenient that Al Qaeda is now against a fellow traveler and interloping scumbag!!!
I always knew he was a "murtad" but with his recital to Kristol early this year of prayer chants and his Freudian slip to Georgie on ABC, to me this guy is the Manchurian Candidate....
And NO, I don't think there are black helicopter in Montana nor do I think there was a second shooter in Grassy Knoll, LOL
