On Liberal Hatred of the West

Islam Watch, a site run by ex’Muslims has a few interesting things to say about Islam, that are well worth a read, It should be specifically read by those who claim that the US is a fascist entity as explained by Noam Chomsky… the enemy of the West, par excellence! If only they would bother to try and understand, through their own brains and senses, what fascism really is as defined by the creator of the word: Benito Mussolini - the Italian Fascista and Hitler’s ally. In this day and age people are too lazy to think, too lazy to read anything that may differ from whatever comfortable, fashionable, idiocy is being espoused as gospel truth by those with an agenda, by those under the pay of the very people who represent everything that liberalism should stand against. However to ask for an analysis, an explanation of those mantras so fashionably repeated, would be an unfair demand. Why, you ask? Because then one would have to ask these leftards to exert their own brains, which unfortunately have hopelessly atrophied due to their lack of use.

As long as these political sheep get a chance to scream cutsey slogans, as long as they get the chance to denounce America as the enemy of mankind, they ignore such inconvenient sentiments as these:

Khomeini tells us that:

“Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors!

There are hundreds of other [Koranic] psalms and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

“Islam grew with blood . . . . The great prophet of Islam in one hand carried the Koran and in the other a sword . . . . Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels but a religion of guidance for other people.”

—Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

But of all the ideologues whose works were a source of radical inspiration to tens, if not hundreds, if not millions, Maududi is the most direct and unambiguous in his description of Islam’s ultimate aspirations:

“Islam is not a normal religion like the other religions in the world and Muslim nations are not like normal nations. Muslim nations are very special because they have a command from Allah to rule the entire world and to be over every nation in the world.”

“Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which Nation assumes the role of the standard bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State.”

“Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn’t look for a nation to be in a better condition than another nation. Islam doesn’t care about the land or who owns the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy. In order to fulfill that goal, Islam can use every power available every way it can be used to bring worldwide revolution. This is Jihad.”

—Sayeed Abdul A’la Maududi, ‘Jihad in Islam’

The following comments, by other prominent Muslims, leave us in no doubt how widely these views are held.

“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”
—Former Algerian President Houari Boumedienne’s prophetic warning to Europe in a speech at the U.N. In 1974. Thirty three years later, his prediction is in the process of unfolding.

“Soon we will take power in this country. Those who criticize us now, will regret it. They will have to serve us. Prepare, for the hour is near.”
— Belgium-based imam in 1994. “De Morgen”, Oct. 5, 1994. Cited in Koenraad Elst, “The Rushdie Rules”, Middle East Quarterly, June 1998.

“The Quran should be America’s highest authority”. “Islam is not in America to be equal to any other religion but to be dominant.”
— Omar Ahmad, CAIR’s (Council on American-Islamic Relations) chairman of the board.

“I would like to see the Islamic flag fly, not only over number 10 Downing Street, but over the whole world,”
— Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, (former leader of the extremist Al-Muhajiroun movement in Britain) in an interview with Reuters.

“I want to see the U.S become an Islamic nation.” —-Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR.

“We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”
—Hussein Massawi, the former Hezbollah leader behind the slaughter of U.S. and French forces 20 years ago.

“Jihad and the rifle alone. NO negotiations, NO conferences and NO dialogue.”
—Sheikh Abdullah Azzam— (Osama bin Laden’s late mentor.)

“Allah revealed Islam in order that humanity could be governed according to it. Unbelief is darkness and disorder. So the unbelievers, if they are not suppressed, create disorder. That is why the Muslims are responsible for the implementation of Allah’s Law on the planet, that humanity may be governed by it, as opposed to corrupt man-made laws. The Muslims must make all efforts to establish the religion of Allah on the earth”
—Muhammad ‘Abdus Salam Faraj, “Jihad: The Absent Obligation”, p43

The enemies of America, the enemies of the West, the appeaser and false “intellectuals” will not react as they should to such statements. When Hitler told the world what he planned to do, nobody believed. Why? Because to believe him was inconvenient, uncomfortable. Nevertheless he went ahead and did just what he said he would. WWII saw the total mobilization of 100,000,000 men between all the armies, militias and underground resistance groups. Such numbers boggle the mind, yet had we only heeded Adolf Hitler’s words when he uttered them, had we taken appropriate action as soon as he spewed his venom WWII never would have taken place. Sixty million people died in WWII, twenty million soldiers and forty million civilians who were systematically exterminated because of their etnicity or creed, or who died due to disease, starvation, massacres and actual fighting.

Ahmedinajad makes no secret of his plans, Osama bin Laden whose terrorist organization is supposed to be at pre-9/11 levels of preparedness makes nmo secret of his designs, Hamas tells it like it is they clearly state that their aim is to to destroy every Jew in the Middle East and take over the Zionist Entity as a prelude to taking over Europe… yet… the enlightened members of the extreme Left do not care to see that danger. They would rather, like a cancer within, eat away at that which is beautiful in the West. None of the great Empires in history were destroyed in battle as much as they were destroyed from within. Will it again take the staggering number of hundreds of millions of dead to defeat an enemy that can still be defeated at an infinitely lower price, as we speak? Will Europe’s and the US’ left wake up in time, or is too already late?

In their own words, straight from the horse’s mouth they say: Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn’t look for a nation to be in a better condition than another nation. Islam doesn’t care about the land or who owns the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy. In order to fulfill that goal, Islam can use every power available every way it can be used to bring worldwide revolution. This is Jihad. Yet, the left is too busy defending those they should oppose the most, too busy opposing those they should defend the most. Alas, I shudder to think what catastrophe will it take to wake them up?

How the left led us into 9/11

The LA Times
The Clinton and Carter administrations made the U.S. look like a weak, attractive target for terrorists.

In considering a funding cutoff for U.S. troops in Iraq, the liberal leadership in Congress runs the risk of making the United States more vulnerable to future attacks, not just in the Middle East but here at home. To understand this, it's not enough to revisit the factors that led to the Iraq invasion. We must consider the roots of 9/11 itself. Only by understanding the policies that sowed the seeds of 9/11 can we intelligently decide how best to proceed in fighting the war on terror.

Pundits on the left say that 9/11 was the result of a "blowback" of resistance from the Islamic world against U.S. foreign policy. At first glance, this seems to make no sense. American colonialism in the Middle East? The U.S. has no history of colonialism there. Washington's support for unelected dictatorial regimes in the region? The Muslims can't be outraged about this, because there are no other kinds of regimes in the region. U.S. support for Israel and wars against the Muslims? Yes, but the U.S. has frequently fought on the side of the Muslims, as in Afghanistan in the 1980s or in the Persian Gulf War.

But in a sense the liberal pundits are right. The U.S. made two gigantic foreign policy blunders in recent decades that did sow the seeds of 9/11. What the liberals haven't recognized is that these blunders were the direct result of their policies and actions, and were carried out by Democratic presidents — Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

To understand this, we need a little perspective. Radical Islam became a global force in 1979, when it captured its first major state, Iran. Before that, radical organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood were fighting losing battles to overthrow their local governments. This changed with the success of the Khomeini regime in Iran. The Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was the first Muslim leader to describe the U.S. as the "Great Satan" and to counsel martyrdom and jihad against it. Iran continues to be a model for radical Muslims.

Khomeini's ascent to power was aided by Carter's policies. Carter came into office stressing his support for human rights. His advisors told him that he could not consistently support the shah of Iran, who had secret police and was widely accused of violating human rights. The administration began to withdraw its support and finally pulled the rug out from under the shah, forcing him to step down.

The result was Khomeini, whose regime was vastly more tyrannical than the shah's. The Khomeini revolution provided state sponsorship for Islamic radicalism and terrorism and paved the way for Osama bin Laden and 9/11.

Clinton's policies also helped to provoke 9/11. After the Cold War, leading Islamic radicals returned to their home countries. Bin Laden left Afghanistan and went back to Saudi Arabia; Ayman Zawahiri returned to Egypt. They focused on fighting their own rulers — what they termed the "near enemy" — in order to establish states under Islamic law. But in the mid- to late 1990s, these radicals shifted strategy. They decided to stop fighting the near enemy and to attack the "far enemy," the U.S.

The world's sole superpower would seem to be much more formidable than local Muslim rulers such as Hosni Mubarak in Egypt or the Saudi royal family. Bin Laden argued, however, that the far enemy was actually weaker and more vulnerable. He was confident that when kicked in their vital organs, Americans would pack up and run. Just like in Vietnam. Just like in Mogadishu.

Bin Laden saw his theory of American weakness vindicated during the Clinton era. In 1993, Islamic radicals bombed the World Trade Center. The Clinton administration did little. In 1996, Muslim terrorists attacked the Khobar Towers facility on a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia. No response. In 1998, Al Qaeda bombed two U.S. embassies in Africa. Clinton responded with a few perfunctory strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan. These did no real harm to Al Qaeda and only strengthened the perception of American ineptitude. In 2000, Islamic radicals bombed the U.S. destroyer Cole. Again, the Clinton team failed to act. By his own admission, Bin Laden concluded that his suspicion of American pusillanimity and weakness was correct. He became emboldened to plot the 9/11 attacks.

Still, the 2001 attacks might have been averted had the Clinton administration launched an effective strike against Bin Laden in the years leading up to them. Clinton has said he made every effort to get Bin Laden during his second term. Yet former CIA agent Michael Scheuer estimates that there were about 10 chances to capture or kill Bin Laden during this period and that the Clinton people failed to capitalize on any of them.

Between 1996 and mid-2000, Bin Laden was not in deep hiding. He gave sermons in Kandahar's largest mosque. He talked openly on his satellite phone. He also granted a number of media interviews: in 1996, with author Robert Fisk; in 1997, with Peter Arnett of CNN; in 1998, with John Miller of ABC News; in 1999, with a journalist affiliated with Time magazine. Isn't it strange that all these people could find Bin Laden but the Clinton administration couldn't?

Two lessons can be drawn from these sorry episodes. The first one, derived from Carter's actions, is: In getting rid of the bad regime, make sure that you don't get a worse one. This happened in Iran and could happen again, in Iraq, if leading Democrats in Congress have their way. The second lesson, derived from Clinton's inaction, is that the perception of weakness emboldens our enemies. If the Muslim insurgents and terrorists believe that the U.S. is divided and squeamish about winning the war on terror, they are likely to escalate their attacks on Americans abroad and at home. In that case, 9/11 will be only the beginning.

By Dinesh D'Souza, a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, is the author, most recently, of "The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11."

U.S. strike kills Afghan Taliban leader

I'm DEAD.

Gone Daddy Gone!

KABUL, Afghanistan - A top Taliban military commander described as a close associate of Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar was killed in an airstrike this week close to the border with Pakistan, the U.S. military said Saturday. A Taliban spokesman denied the claim.

As usual...

Of Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Osmani, who was killed Tuesday by a U.S. airstrike, U.S. military spokesman Col. Tom Collins noted Osmani's death as a "big loss" for the ultraconservative militia.

"There's no doubt that it will have an immediate impact on their ability to conduct attacks," Collins said. "But the Taliban is fairly adaptive. They'll put somebody else in that position and we'll go after that person, too."

And that is how the work gets done.

Ahmadinejad's Ultimatums

It's good to read the words of those who have declared war against us, lest we forget that this IS a Global war on Terrorism and forget the danger we are in by politicizing the war that was waged against us.

On October 20, 2006, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave an address to the Iranian people really, it was a rant). The address was aired on Jaam-e Jam 1 TV. Here are some excerpts ....

Here's looking at you, kid!Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:
This [Zionist regime] was established in order to swallow up the entire region, and to place it at the disposal of the world forces. It is a big lie that it was done in order to protect those killed in World War II, and in order to compensate them.


Over 60 million people were killed in World War II. Let's assume you are right, and six million [Jews] were among those killed. How come none of you mourn the other 54 million? Why don't you pay reparations to them? Why don't you ever think about them? All your sorrow, your pity, your mourning cries are over [victims] who were counted by I don't know whom...


Obviously, some of the Western countries are being held hostage today by the Zionists. Some Western countries have been paying reparations for 60 years. We sent letters and messages, and asked them: "When will these relations, which evolved from World War II, come to an end?" A war broke out 60 years ago, and some considered themselves the victors in this war. They occupied Palestine. They set up bases throughout the world, and want to act aggressively against all the peoples. They also gave themselves privileges in the international forums, and the other peoples must submit to their control. We asked them when these relations would come to an end. We asked the leader of one of these countries: "Until when will your people have to pay reparations?" For two generations? Three generations? For a 100 years? A 1,000 years? A few thousand years?


The existence of this regime is so essential for these countries that in some of them, they even built monuments. You know that every country builds monuments for the objects of their pride. They take their children, from an early age, to show them these monuments, in order to help them develop their identity, and to instill in their memory the things that make them proud, in order to feel power and honor. In some of these countries, they set up monuments, whose purpose was to degrade that very nation. From an early age, they take their children and say to them: "Look, our ancestors were murderers. Our ancestors used to burn people. We are in debt."


Something happened three generations ago. Let's assume it was true. What is the crime of the youth born in Europe today? What is the crime of people living in the world today that they have to pay reparations so high they cannot even be calculated? The peoples have to pay any sum decreed by America and England. What is the reason for this? When will there be an end to these claims? What is their limit? What does America have to do with this? Why does America extort the world, under the pretext of the Holocaust? Why does England extort [the world]? Wasn't it England that laid the foundations for the fear that led the Jews to flee to the occupied lands?


They said: "We want to establish a place for the survivors." How many survivors were there? With false promises, you gathered the wretched people from Africa, South America, Asia, and North America, and you brought them there. You banished one people from its land, and you want to create another people by force. Why? Why? Are all those now living in Palestine survivors of the war? We asked [these Westerners]: "The current leader of the Zionist regime – where did his parents live? Where were they?" As you know, some of the leaders of the Zionist regime are in fact Iranians.


[...]


The life of this regime depended on military threat, military force, and the legend that it was invincible. Today, with God's grace, this false legend has collapsed, with the help of the young believers of Palestine, and thanks to the believing, self-sacrificing commanders of Hizbullah. Today, the Zionists do not feel secure even in their own homes, anywhere in the world.


Today, this community, which was gathered by force, and under false pretexts, and whose members were joined to one another by a paper-clip, in order to create a false illusion of a nation... Today, they have fallen apart. I declare here, loud and clear: With God's grace, this regime has lost the philosophy of its existence.


[...]


Watch your hands, Mamoud.



I said to them: If you do not agree, open the doors, open the gates, and allow these uninvited guests return to their countries. Let them return to their homeland. If the Western countries that support the Zionists feel sympathetic toward them, they should give them financial aid, so that they can live in their own countries.


[...]


We have some advice for the supporters of this regime. We say to them: First of all, do not seek a new crime. Every crime being perpetrated today, every youth who dies in Palestine today, every home that is demolished, and every incursion into the neighboring countries will be accredited to the supporters of this regime, and the nations will exact their revenge.


[…]


Our proposal is as follows: Since you brought [this regime] over there, you yourselves pick it up, by the arms and legs, and remove it from there. This will make the peoples of the region improve their attitude toward you. These will be the first steps to a long-lasting friendship with the peoples of the region. This will be to your advantage.


You may say: "We feel uncomfortable doing this, because the Zionists control our countries, the propaganda machinery is at their disposal, and if we want to gain voters, we need their money and their support. Therefore, we feel uncomfortable doing this."


Fine. We made you another proposal: Allow that which you advocate take place in Palestine. After all, you advocate democracy, and you claim that the peoples should control their own destiny. So let the Palestinian people decide upon its own path by means of a referendum. In response, you say: "We might lose our reputation." Our response is: You have no reputation left anyway! Where do you still have a reputation anywhere in the world?


In the recent war in Lebanon, you saw with your own eyes that the whole world was against you. Even in Argentina, where the Zionists devise conspiracies, generate strife, and put pressure on the Argentinean administration, the people took to the streets.


[...]


This [Zionist] regime is on the verge of death, and we advise you to start thinking about your long-term interests and long term relations with the peoples of the region. At the end of the day, these are all ultimatums. No-one should complain tomorrow. The things are stated clearly.


[...]


What is this Security Council anyway? The whole world knows that America and England are the enemies of the Iranian nation.


Crowd: Allah Akbar.


Allah Akbar.


Khamenei is the leader.


Death to those who oppose the rule of the jurisprudent


Death to America


Death to England


Death to the hypocrites and Saddam


Death to Israel


Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: They have taken control of the leading positions in the Security Council, and have the right of veto, and they are prosecuting and judging us, and they want to carry out the verdict. Sir, this is the logic of pharaonic times. The days of this logic are over. The Security Council, in its present condition, is illegitimate. Its resolutions are illegitimate. Do you want to be the judges, the rulers, the prosecutors, and those who carry out the verdicts? These days are over. Nobody accepts this behavior of yours. Even the illiterate old women of the Himalayas will not accept this behavior of yours.


Wishing You Were Me.The islamofascists believe they defeated the what they once believed to be the invincible Israel in Lebanon. They are emboldened.

Ahmadinejad's proposal to Britain and the United States is to take Israel out of the Middle East in order to improve our relations with the Middle East. He then proposes that the West allow Palestine to determine their own destiny by destroying Israel.

He blames Israel for every bad thing that happens in the Middle East and of controling the world. He sees the failure of Israel to prevail in Lebanon as a sign from God that Israel is weakened and as he said, the world is against the West.

He then declares that Israel is on the verge of death and tells us clearly that these things are ultimatums.

He completely rejects the validity of the United Nations and any sanctions that are proposed.

There are those in the West who think we need to talk with Ahmadinejad and reason with him. How do you reason with an unreasonable man? With a meglamaniac actually.

Leaving Iraq would leave a vacuum there that Ahmadinejad would be more than happy to occupy. It is my belief he is already providing weapons for the insurgents. They are getting increasingly sophisticated weapons and al-Qaida operatives are coming there from all over the world.

The islamofascist are emboldened by the weak response of Israel to the invasions of hezbollah and hamas. They are emboldened by the media reports that the American people have turned against the war and are demanding the President pull troops out of Iraq. I have seen reports on islamic websites stating they expect American troops will be out of Iraq by the end of this year. They are celebrating the defeat of the Republicans in the upcoming elections and declaring victory over the mighty Amercian Army. They are emboldened.

They have been warning us, Osama bin Laden and Ahmadinejad, that they intend to destroy us. There has been a recent al-Qaida warning to Canada. Yet there are still those that refuse to hear the warnings and still insist on blaming the United States for their problems.

It's all part of Ahmadinejad's apocalyptic vision.

I think it's time we really listen to what our emeny is telling us.

British Troops Kill Bin Laden Lieutenant

More on this story. Reuters Article
By Peter Graff in Baghdad
September 26, 2006 04:00am

BRITISH troops in Iraq said they killed one of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's top global lieutenants, who escaped from a US prison in Afghanistan last year.

Omar Faruq was shot dead while resisting arrest during a raid by about 200 British troops in Iraq's second biggest city, Basra, British military spokesman Major Charlie Burbridge said.

US leaders have described Faruq as the top al-Qaeda operative in South-East Asia. He was caught in Indonesia in 2002 and held at a high-security detention centre at Bagram airbase, north of the Afghani capital Kabul, until his escape last year.

“The individual had been tracked across Iraq and was in hiding in Basra,” Major Burbridge said, calling him a “very, very significant man”.

Faruq, once believed to be the main link between bin Laden's followers and the Jemaah Islamiah militant group blamed for bombings in Indonesia, was one of four men who escaped from Bagram in July last year.

Washington did not reveal that he had got away until November, when defence lawyers demanded he be produced as a witness at the trial of a US army sergeant accused of abusing prisoners in Bagram. US officials were then obliged to reveal that he could not testify because he had escaped.

The escape caused embarrassment for Washington, changes to security at Bagram and a massive manhunt in Afghanistan which failed to track down the four prisoners.

Major Burbridge said Faruq was hiding in Basra and not necessarily believed to be operating there. The mainly Shiite southern Iraqi city does not have a large presence of the Sunni militant group al-Qaeda, whose Iraq branch has claimed responsibility for attacks on Shiites.
Omar al-Faruq, senior operative in Southeast Asia and confidant of Osama bin Laden, was to be a witness in a trial of an American Soldier for abuses in Bagram. Does that strike anyone else as absurd? An American Soldier is on trial for abusing prisoners who are in this prison are in this prison because they are top lieutenants in bin Laden's Army. And this guy was going to be considered a witness in the American Soldier's trial.

No wonder four of the prisoners there were able to escape. One wonders if the guards there are loath to do anything to prevent them from escaping. Touching one of them could end up in a court martial.

Another interesting point is that Omar al-Faruq was tracked across Iraq and was hiding out in Iraq. Would that imply that Iraq does, indeed, have something to do with the Global War on Terror?

The following is a summary of his capture, treatment and the information he gave up under interrogation.
June 2002

Omar al-Faruq, a top al-Qaeda senior operative in Southeast Asia, is captured by Indonesian agents after receiving a tip from the CIA. He is flown to the CIA interrogation center at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan where is subjected to months of intense interrogations . “It is likely, experts say, that ... Mr. Faruq [was] left naked most of the time, his hands and feet bound. [He] may also have been hooked up to sensors, then asked questions to which interrogators knew the answers, so they could gauge his truthfulness,” the New York Times will later report. One Western intelligence official will tell the newspaper that Mr. Faruq’s interrogation was “not quite torture, but about as close as you can get.” For three months he is provided with very little food, subjected to sleep and light deprivation, prolonged isolation and temperatures ranging from 100 degrees to 10 degrees. After being softened up, Faruq provides information about “plans to drive explosives-laden trucks into American diplomatic centers [and] detailed information about people involved in those operations and other plots, writing out lengthy descriptions.” [New York Times, 3/9/2003]
Hooah for the Brits for ridding the world of this guy. A job well done.

The Black Wind Of Death

From the paper "Deterrence Now 2" by guest writer Leonard Magruder of Vietnam Veterans For Academic Reform.

Following are three basic but contrasting interpretations as to the cause of Islamic terrorism.

1) "Root causes" is the problem.

The first is from the book "Warrant for Terror" by the noted Israeli strategist, Shmuel Bar.

"It cannot be ignored that the lion's share of terrorist acts and the most devastating of them in recent years have been perpetrated in the name of Islam. This fact has sparked a fundamental debate both in the West and within the Muslim world regarding the link between these acts and the teachings of Islam. Most Western analysts are hesitant to identify such acts with the true teachings of one of the world's great religions and prefer to view them as a perversion of a religion that is essentially peace-loving and tolerant. Their "root-cause" explanations include political causes (the Israeli-Arab conflict); cultural causes (rebellion against Western cultural colonialism or decadence); and social causes (alienation, poverty). While no public figure in the West would deny the imperative of fighting the war against terrorism, it is equally politically correct to add the statement that, for the war to be won, these grievances pertaining to the root causes of terrorism are justified and should be addressed. An interpretation which places the blame for terrorism on religious and cultural traits, they claim, runs the risk of being branded as bigoted and Islamophobic."

2) U.S. forces in Muslim lands is the problem.:

A second interpretation is found in an analysis of the most comprehensive collection of data on terrorism by professor of political science Robert A. Pape of the Univ. of Chicago in his recent book, "Dying to Win."

"With data from more than 430 suicide attacks we now know that these individuals are not mainly poor, desperate criminals, or uneducated religious fanatics but are often well-educated, middle-class political activists. Terrorism is not primarily a product of Islamic fundamentalism. 95% of suicide terrorist attacks occur as part of coherent campaigns organized by large militant organizations with significant public support. Every suicide campaign has had a clear goal that is secular and political to compel a modern democracy to withdraw military forces from the territory that the terrorists view as their homeland."

3) Islam is the problem.

The third interpretation is from "An End to Evil", by former CIA analysts David R. Frum and Richard Perle.

"The terrorists kill and will accept death for a cause with which no accomodation is possible. That cause is militant Islam. Moreover, these beliefs are not really confined to a radical fringe, but infect even ordinary Muslims. Even though it is comforting to deny it, all the available evidence indicates that militant Islam commands wide support , and even wider sympathy, among Muslims worldwide, including Muslim minorities in the West. The roots of Muslim rage are to be found in Islam itself. While there are multiple terrorist groups, the common element of Islam makes the threat monolithic.The ideology that justifies the terrible crimes of Hamas and Hezbollah is the same ideology that justifies the crimes of al-Qaeda. The result is an unlimited threat to dominate the world through Jihad.This strain seeks to overthrow our civilization and remake the nations of the West into Islamic societies, imposing upon the whole world its religion and its law.

THE BLACK WIND OF DEATH

Here are four items reported in the news recently that show the danger America faces from Islamic Jihad. From terrorist groups, but also entire Muslin nations issuing threats.

al Qaeda, in a statement claiming credit for the Madrid bombing, March 11, 2004:

"We announce the good news for Muslims in the world that the strike of the black wind of death, the expected strike against America, is now in its final stages - 90 percent ready - and it is coming soon.") note: Why "good news for Muslims ?" Because they know that the vast majority of Muslims secretly or openly approve of a campaign of terror against "infidels." )

WorldNetDaily recently reported this:

"Top U.S. government officials are contemplating what they consider to be an inevitable and much bigger assault on America, one that is likely to kill millions, destroy the economy, and fundamentally alter the course of history. According to captured al-Queda leaders and documents, the plan is called "American Hiroshima", and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. ."( Note: The terrorists hope to ruin America in one blow. Multiple cities simutaneously could do it, as would an electromagnetic pulse attack.)

WND-Washington - .James Woolsey, former director of the CIA, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in February that Iranian President Ahmadinejad , who is close to Hezbollah, says he knows of 29 sites in the U.S. and the West and is ready to attack in order to "end Anglo-Saxon civilization." An Iran campaign to recruit suicide bombers registered 55,000 ready to carry out attacks against two targets, "the infidels occupying Iraq, and Israel ," in a fight against "global blasphemy."- that is, all non-Muslims.

"Osama bin Laden now has religious approval to use a nuclear device against Americans." Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA unit charged with tracking down bin Laden, told Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes" Sunday, (November 14, 2004) . "Even if bin Laden had a nuclear weapon, he wouldn"t have used it for a lack of proper religious authority, authority he now has." The approval found that bin Laden was perfectly within his rights to use them, to kill up to four million Americans, two million of them children."

Two comments - First - these items hint of horrendous destruction, far greater than 9/11 and must be taken very seriously, second - the idea that God has given bin Laden permission to murder 2 million American children should give anybody an insurmountable problem with Islam. In the light of this threat, no plan can be considered "too radical." We must take no chances with insanity like this. It is this convergence of religion and murder that has rightly placed all civilized nations on high alert.--[L.M.]

A Leader Of Al-Qaida-Linked Terror Group Arrested

Catch Of The Day!


BAGHDAD, Iraq A leader of Ansar al-Sunnah, a group linked to al-Qaida in Iraq that responsible for kidnappings and beheadings, has been captured by Iraqi and U.S. forces, the prime minister's office said Saturday.


Muntasir Hamoud Ileiwi al-Jubouri and two of his aides were arrested in Muqdadiyah, 90 kilometers (56 miles) northeast of Baghdad late Friday, Brig. Qassim al-Mussawi, spokesman for the General Command of the Armed Forces, told The Associated Press.


The Sunni militant group has claimed responsibility for numerous suicide attacks, the August 2004 execution of 12 Nepalese hostages and a December 2004 explosion at a U.S. military mess hall in Mosul that killed 22 people. Believed to have been an offshoot of another group, Ansar Al-Islam.


Ansar al-Sunna is part if the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of insurgent groups — including al-Qaida in Iraq — that was co-founded by the late Jordanian-born terrorist mastermind Abu Musab aal-Zarqawi.

Great! Now he'll get whats coming to him-- according to our kind and gentle policy that's three square meals (halil at that), five times for prayer and eight hours of sleep a day. Dang I don't even get that!




AllahPundit and Michelle Malkin point out that this is a bigger story than the Osama is dead rumor! I'd be nice but the rumor is unconfirmed. All the same, Carol at The Median Sib has an idea where he's headed!

Reporter: Don't underestimate al-Qaida nuke threat

"I would not underestimate these people," he said

Hamid Mir, a reporter who has covered al-Qaida and met with Osama bin Laden, told radio talk-show host Glenn Beck yesterday that he, too, had make the mistake of underestimating the terror network in the past.

He said he interviewed bin Laden prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and heard warnings about an attack on the U.S., but discounted them.

Mir took bin Laden more seriously after the bombings of the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, shortly after his first of three meetings with bin Laden – the last coming after 9/11. More here.

Photos Could Prejudice Terror Cell Case

Young men in Melbourne with nothing else to do...

TWO Melbourne men, including one who allegedly promised Osama bin Laden he would commit jihad, will stand trial over terrorism charges.


Shane Kent, 29, of Meadow Heights, and Aimen Joud, 21, of Hoppers Crossing, allegedly produced a propaganda video for al-Qaeda called Such as the Messengers Tested.


Kent also met bin Laden at the Al Farooq training camp in Afghanistan, a committal hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court was told today.


"It is the prosecution case that when Mr Kent left Al Farooq he had met bin Laden and that he had pledged in bin Laden's presence to carry out jihad," prosecutor Mark Dean, SC, said.


Both Kent and Joud pleaded not guilty to charges of being members of a terrorist organisation, providing support to al-Qaeda and making an item (the video) connected with a terrorist act.


Meanwhile their lawyers cry foul over photos:

THE photographs show Aimen Joud on holiday in Lebanon. In the first, he poses with an AK-47 assault rifle for an unknown photographer. In the second, he sits on another's shoulders as he brandishes the weapon.


They were taken in 2002, when Joud was about 17, two years before he came under investigation as a member of an alleged terror cell.


A Melbourne court released the two images during a committal hearing yesterday, despite lawyers' protestations that the pictures were irrelevant to the charges against Joud.


"We are talking about a man in battledress with an AK-47 and there is no basis on which they can be tendered (to the court)," said Joud's lawyer, Paul Marin. "These photographs do not have any particular relevance."


He said the images should not form part of the case against Joud, and that a prejudiced person might say that they obviously represented an Islamic terrorist.

No particular relevance?! Well...the camera never lies. My best advice here, boys and girls, is never take a holiday in LEBANON, dress up in battledress, brandish an AK-47, take pictures of it and later get arrested for meeting with and provide support for Al Qaeda. It might just taint the jury.
