Jihadi Du Jour: Al-Qaeda warns Canada

Hat tip to Clarity and Resolve:

OTTAWA - An al-Qaeda strategist has warned Canada to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan or face terrorist attacks similar to 9/11, Madrid and the London transit bombings.

The threat, attributed to a member of the al-Qaeda information and strategy committee, condemns Prime Minister Stephen Harper for refusing to pull out of Afghanistan.

It also refers to Canada's "fanatic adherence to Christianity" as well as its purported attempts to "damage the Muslims" and its support for the "Christian Crusade" against al-Qaeda.

"Despite the strong, increasing opposition to spread its forces in the fire of South Afghanistan, it seems that they will not learn the lesson easily," Hossam Abdul Raouf writes.

"They will either be forced to withdraw their forces or face an operation similar to New York, Madrid, London and their sisters, with the help of Allah."

Why is Canada a target? The video in this post explains things perfectly.As Patrick at C&R says, "Friendship with the great Satan has its advantages." I agree when he says, "I don't care what any partisan jerks say, Canada and America are the best of friends."

I also agree with the the Canadian soldier who says, "They're definitely going to wonder who the Canadians are from here on oot, that's for sure." You betcha!
