New Video Message Forthcoming from the Head of al-Qaeda, Usama bin Laden

New Video Message Forthcoming from the Head of al-Qaeda, Usama bin Laden

So, what is next for the Dhimmitudes?

We all need to be paying more attention to that which we face and the Leftinistra need to be brushed aside as the dross which they are.

Studying the primary source propaganda, training manuals, and chatter of terrorists offers insight into terrorists and their activities that can not be obtained anywhere else. Failing to monitor terrorist propaganda is a failure in intelligence. To fulfill this need, the SITE Intelligence Group offers its Monitoring Service, which provides numerous daily translations of terrorist propaganda and multimedia from primary source terrorist websites.

For more information please click here.

The Leftinistra are going to get us all killed. The above group works closely with MEMRI and the LEFTINISTRA SEEM TO BE IGNORING THEIR WARNINGS. I wonder why that is.

The SITE Intelligence Group has learned that a new video message is forthcoming from the head of al-Qaeda, Usama bin Laden, addressing the American people on the sixth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. Following is an image from the forthcoming video.

The image of bin Laden contained in the banner found on jihadist forums is reminiscent of his last video appearance in 2004, but his beard is now completely black, as it was previously streaked with grey.

Must be a vain man by now.

AQD...Al Qaida In Denmark

A few days ago, in a post here, we brought to your attention the calls for attacks on the People of Denmark. And then, lo and behold, we have this: HUGE HT to Right Truth...

Al-Qaeda Busted in Denmark

Denmark arrests eight al-Qaeda members with explosives in their possession, -- "several of the suspects had created an unstable explosive in a densely populated housing area,..." (AFP) The terrorists had "backgrounds from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Turkey, and six of them held Danish citizenship."

Jihadists Call For Violence In Denmark

UHOH!! Somebody is deep Koran! Oh. Wait. That should have said...well, never mind.

Why isn't this in the Lame Stream Media and why do we in The New Media ALWAYS have to bring items like this into the fore to get the Lame Stream to do their jobs? Aren't they PAID professionals or what?

Islamist Website Hosted in Minnesota Calls for Suicide Operations in Denmark

On August 31, 2007, the Islamist website www.ekhlaas.cc, hosted by SiteGenie LLC in Rochester, Minnesota, posted a document calling for "martyrdom [i.e., suicide] operations" in Denmark. The author, who identified himself as a member of Al-Qaeda, urged the Muslims not to forget the incident of the Danish cartoons, and promised the people of Denmark that the "brigades of martyrdom seekers are on their way... and will soon carry out blessed operations" in their country. He called on the Muslims to register on the site as candidates for these suicide operations.

Following are excerpts from the document:

"Some Muslims have put the affair of the Danish [cartoons] behind them and have completely forgotten it... I have reopened this issue in order to irritate the infidel Danes, and to remind them that the affair is not over and that the brigades of the martyrdom seekers are on their way.

"[My] goal is to urge [my Muslim] brothers to put down their names [so as to indicate] that the affair is not over, and that they will soon set out to carry out blessed operations in Denmark. Please put down your names in order to strike fear in the hearts of the Danish people.

"I take upon myself the honorable [task] of being the first martyrdom seeker to crush the strongholds of heresy in Denmark.

"[Signed] Abu Al-Bara Al-Dosari. Place of residence: the secret state of Al-Qaeda, from which we will set forth to crush the heretic [regimes]."

On Islamist Websites: How to Join Al-Qaeda, Form a Jihad Cell, and Select a Western Target

Here we go again.

Some weeks ago, we brought to your attention an American hosted web site that had explicit instructions as to how to kidnap and if required, kill Americans. That web site has since been "removed".

If there remains any doubt as to the threats we as a Nation face, this should be yet another eye-opener:

On August 26, Islamist websites posted an item titled "How to Join Al-Qaeda." It is not clear when the item was written; it was produced by the website Al-Thabitoun 'Ala Al-'Ahd, which is affiliated with Al-Qaeda in Egypt and is currently inactive.

The item calls on every Muslim to regard jihad as a personal duty and to take initiative to establish a jihad cell without waiting for recognition from Al-Qaeda. It goes on to elaborate on how to form and run the cell, how to raise funds, and how to select a target, "for example, assassinating the American ambassador," which, it states, "takes no more than a gun and a bullet."

The following are excerpts from the item:

A Tunisian Poet Says Enough Already!

Tunisian Poet and Civil Rights Activist Basit Bin Hasan on Suicide Bombers Who Attack Funeral Processions


In a July 13, 2007 article on the liberal Arab website Al-Awan, Tunisian poet Basit Bin Hasan, who is a former director of the Tunis-based Arab Institute for Human Rights, wrote that for some in Arab society killing had become a goal unto itself, and that in order to fight the phenomenon of suicide bombings and other manifestations of disregard for human life, Arab societies must overcome their "moral indolence" and reconsider the meaning of life and death.

The following are excerpts from the article:(1)

"The Killing of Humans with Cold, Organized Violence Has Become a Goal Unto Itself"

"This is going on in Iraq, and in places closer to us than we imagine: suicide bombers are targeting the funeral processions of people who were themselves victims of previous suicide attacks.

"In one single motion, and with rare determination, they blow up their own bodies amidst the bodies of the living and the bodies of the dead. In these attacks they are targeting not [only] the areas of life; they are targeting as well the area that separates life from the afterlife – the time of death and mourning. In this kind of suicide, they have united the killing of the living with the killing of the dead.

"They impair our moral conceptions of life and death, and open the gates to a 'new' time – a time of nothingness, in which suicide attacks turn into an absolute and uninterrupted trajectory, divorced from historical goals, and in which the killing of humans with cold, organized violence becomes a goal unto itself.

"Thus the killing of the living and the dead in suicide attacks targeting funeral processions is a frightening phenomenon that boggles the mind, and which, at this point in history, calls for penetrating intellectual and moral attention."


Our Intellectuals Have Recourse to a Logic of Perpetual Justification of Suicide Attacks

"Is life worth living? Is the goal of life to propagate new and different lives and to attain a form of collective happiness in the world of men? Or is the worth of man the destruction of humanity through the destruction of himself and others? And what is the place of death in the path to recognition of the importance of life?

"Many philosophies, both ancient and modern, have attempted to consider politics through these fundamental ethical questions, [but] our intellectuals are expert in ignoring them and marginalizing them. They have persisted in their feeble and monotonous discussions of suicide attacks and in having recourse to the logic of perpetual justification and tolerance for the intolerable.

"At times, they base themselves on an absolute concept of 'resistance,' without any profound reflection on the multiple meanings of this concept and its historical specificity; at other times, they base themselves on the fact that there is no clear and internationally accepted definition of terrorism... as though the absence of a definition for any given phenomenon can permit opening the gates of moral meaninglessness..."


"The Demon in Man Has Escaped From Its Bottle"

"The Arab intellectuals who have defended suicide attacks, whether openly, or through sly and cunning rhetoric, by describing them as an absolute right that aims to achieve political goals, have not only taken part in justifying crimes of destruction against living beings; they have also contributed in keeping [the question of] the meaning of life and death in our societies from being raised.

"The justification of suicide attacks by intellectuals, who are considered authorities, and through the authority of language and the media, has opened gates of fear that will not be shut before our societies are brought to experience the meaning of nothingness and obliteration in their absolute forms.

"[Now] everyone can kill or be killed: the 'resisting' suicide attacker, who has moved on from killing the enemy to killing all; the extremist politician, who has moved on from fighting he who differs from him politically to killing the society that differs from him; people who kill [other] people frantically attempting to face up to tragedies of life and [its] narrow straits; and the state, over which there is no supervision, and which has established a system to lay siege to all and to murder them, in institutions that monitor daily life.

"Thus the demon in man has escaped from its bottle, and everything has become possible. The human body, which used to be ruled by a biological memory that defined the path from birth to death, and by a moral memory that defined the meaning of its experience in existence, has been left in complete nakedness. It has become a body without memory, sufficient unto itself, no longer to struggle for the rule of memory and to plunge into the risks of life, but which rather [exists] in order to destroy itself and others. Destruction has become the life of the body and the meaninglessness that denies the meaning of life and death.

"Today we see that the suicide attacks, which our intellectuals imagined were a temporary means to achieve political benefit, have turned into a fixed institution of their own, with their own particular logic, which is the death of all logic.

"The number of these attacks has risen in a number of our countries, and their forms and methods have become varied. Men and women throw their exploding bodies into armies armed with the latest achievements of destructive weapons technology. Children and youth are led by adults to places where they will kill themselves and kill others. Unexpected suicide bombings hit cafes, hotels, restaurants, engagement parties, government institutions, the media, mosques, churches, and means of transport.

"Now, the attacks are, by striking funeral processions, searching out regions that we naively imagined were unassailable.... [But] some sons of our societies have transgressed all boundaries and have written in the ink of their corpses the dreadful book of nothingness.


"The Objectification of the Self and the Other... Is What Makes Any Crime Permissible"

"The objectification of the self and the other, and the stripping of beings from their humanity, is what makes any crime permissible, no matter how hideous or absurd.

"The suicide attackers have, in this great act of objectification, turned into new gods with absolute control over life and death. These black gods, who have lost their ties to history, decide, through the killing of their bodies which no longer mean anything to them, when and how the lives of others will come to an end.

"We are no longer just facing extremists motivated by political and religious goals. We have entered a phase in which the narcissist suicide attackers have gone beyond Islamic conceptions of life and death.

"The phenomenon of increasing suicide attacks and the steadily multiplying groups of suicide bombers is a historic predicament that raises grave questions as to the extent of our dealing morally and responsibly with issues of life and death in our societies.


"Enough of This Destructive Insanity"

"Faced with the phenomenon of absolute killing and violence that are sweeping our societies, some are still repeating that there are limits to the nothingness surrounding us, and that our desire to [survive] will... stop the collapse, and that an absolute conscience will arise from our dark reality and say 'enough of this destructive insanity,' and will bring back society's desire for life...

"The destructive tendency to which the suicide attacks have led us... is one among a number of other manifestations that have taken root in our societies and that are no less frightening...

"These manifestations, and others [like them], are just lead-ins to a greater worry that has settled into what we call our lives – a worry over an uncertain future, and a worry over our inability to define the forces that rule our fates and decide [matters of] our life and death.

"To start emerging from the tunnel [requires] confronting the general moral indolence and opening a large-scale dialogue on the meaning of life and death in our societies..."

Dear Idiot Leftinistra,

The following is something that ALL MUST take into consideration. The Jihadists of the world are getting bolder and bolder each and every day that YOU want to cut and run and say something as retarded as thusly, "If we would just leave Iraq,all will be back to normal".

Nothing can be further from the truth.

Debate in Salafi Islam over Jihad Against 'Heretical' Arab Regimes On July 16, 2007, Sheikh Abu Basir Al-Tartusi [1] responded on his website (www.abubaseer.bizland.com ) to a claim made by Sheikh Hamed Al-Ali [2] on his own website (www.h-alali.info/index.php ) that jihad against the Arab regimes is doomed to failure while jihad against foreign forces occupying Muslim lands is destined to succeed. Tartusi warned that this claim could be exploited by various elements to discourage the Muslims from launching jihad against the regimes that oppress them. He added that Islam commands the Muslims to wage jihad against any Muslim leader who has "become completely heretical," and that disobeying this command can only bring greater oppression and suffering to the Muslims. Sheikh Tartusi's website is hosted by Performance Systems International Inc., based in WashingtonDC. Sheikh Al-Ali's website is hosted by FortressITX, based in New Jersey. Following are excerpts from Tartusi's response: "If the Leader and His Regime Suddenly Become Completely Heretical, the Nation Must Come Out Against Them" "I [recently] had the opportunity to read an enjoyable article by Sheikh Hamed bin Adballah Al-'Ali from May 27, 2007, titled 'The Status of the Emblems of Jihad...' I found it to be a very useful article in terms of its topic and purpose, but one paragraph caught my attention. [This paragraph] said that 'the jihad program is a program of transformation for a nation that needs to awaken, and if it is not [carried out] in a supportive environment, it will fail. Consequently, plans to confront the [Arab] regimes will not meet with success, while plans to resist occupation will be successful." This paragraph caught the attention of other brothers [besides myself], and they asked me to [publish] a written response. Indeed, a wide [range] of people with various [different] orientations and goals could present [Al-Ali's] statement as evidence that it is forbidden to wage jihad against the heretical and apostate tyrants and against their heretical, corrupt and collaborating regimes... [This statement could be used] to prevent the [Muslim] nation and peoples from waging jihad to liberate [themselves] from oppression and tyranny and to obtain the rights that these tyrannical regimes have neglected and deprived them of - [for people will conclude that] there is no point in waging jihad if we know in advance that it is doomed to fail... "I therefore decided to answer the brothers who asked me, and to respond to this paragraph. My reply is as follows: "1)...According to the Koran, the Sunna, and the accepted view among religious scholars, if the leader and his regime suddenly become completely heretical, the nation must come out against them... for it is said: 'Never will Allah grant to the unbelievers a way [to triumph] over the believers [Koran 4:141]'; 'And follow not the bidding of those who are corrupt and make mischief in the land, and mend not [their ways]' [Koran 26:151-152]; 'O ye who believe! If ye obey the Unbelievers, they will drive you back on your heels, and ye will turn back [from Faith] to your own loss [Koran 3:149].'" Failure to Launch Jihad Against the Arab Regimes will Result in Greater Suffering "2) Now that we understand that Allah has commanded us to come out against heretical, apostate and tyrannical rulers, it is clear that disobeying this command or acting in a way that contravenes it - i.e., following the heretical, apostate and oppressive tyrants - will undoubtedly lead to greater damage, oppression and civil strife, and the [damage] that we feared would result from coming out against the tyrants will [actually] result many times over from not coming out against them... For it is said: 'And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah [Koran 8:39]'; 'Unless ye go forth [to jihad], He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place [Koran 9:39].' "Therefore, to those who shed crocodile tears over the losses and the civil wars that may result from waging [jihad against tyrannical and heretical regimes], we say: The greatest civil war breaks out when peoples accept [the rule] of heretical, oppressive and apostate tyrants... "You have not come out [against your regimes] and look at the heavy price you are paying in [terms of] your religion, honor, security, freedom and what you hold dearest... Allah has said: 'You are commanded to fight, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you [Koran 2:216]'... "3) Launching [jihad] against heretical and tyrannical leaders is a religious commandment, and therefore saying that this [endeavor]... is destined to succeed when directed against an infidel, but doomed to fail when directed against an apostate... is tantamount to saying that Allah's law is valid at [certain] times but not at [others], or in [certain] places but not in [others], or with respect to one infidel but not with respect to [another]. Such an interpretation is very dangerous, and Sheikh [Al-'Ali] surely did not mean to [imply] it, but his statement, on its face, cannot be understood in any other way. "4) It is a mistake to draw an analogy between [jihad] against the heretical leaders of today and the [jihad] launched by certain companions of the Prophet and by the members of the generation that followed the Prophet against the leaders of their day... Today, Muslims wage [jihad] against the heretical apostates... whereas [the early Muslims] waged [jihad] against other Muslims... If one wishes to draw an analogy, one should compare the [jihad] waged by Muslims today against the tyrannical, heretical and apostate leaders with the jihad waged by the early Muslims against Musaylamah Al-Kadhab [3] and his state... [a war] that cost [the Muslims] tens of thousands of martyrs... The laws of triumphant [war] do not stipulate that the war must necessarily be against an external enemy, and that an internal enemy who is an even greater infidel should be left alone..." The Duty of Jihad Against the Arab Regimes is Incumbent Upon All Sectors of Society "5) Faced with any failed jihad attempt in our times, we should blame ourselves and examine the reasons for the failure... [instead of] saying 'the principle [of jihad] against our heretical, oppressive and apostate regimes is erroneous, and [the war] doomed to failure... because it is an internal war against [one of our own] regimes.' [This claim stands in contradiction to] the religious commandment, and is [a way to] evade responsibility and self-examination... "6) When we talk about launching [jihad] against heretical tyrants and regimes, this does not mean that a group of 100 people or less should undertake the responsibility of waging [jihad], while all other sectors of the population disregard the duties and tasks that their religion requires them to perform. [Waging jihad] means that all sectors of the population - [including] religious scholars, workers, merchants, teachers, doctors, students and journalists, women and men, young and old - are responsible for fulfilling this religious [duty] as part of their obligation towards their faith, nation and society. Each [must contribute] according to his ability... by all available and legitimate means, from popular resistance and general strikes to angry demonstrations - and [even] violent [resistance], if the heretical tyrant acts in opposition to the will of the [Muslim] nation and peoples. "All this is legitimate and is not regarded as sinful by the religion - [on the contrary,] it is one of the most honorable [forms] of jihad. You will find that, when carried out in this manner... it is easier than you thought and feared, and the price of fighting the oppressive tyrants is smaller than the price of suffering [their oppression]... "Why do you think that the tyrannical and heretical leaders are so worried about the spread of the principle of takfir [accusing others of heresy] and by the accusations of heresy directed against their corrupt and oppressive regimes? Because they know that perceiving them as infidels and as [people] who have strayed from the right path is the... first step towards rebellion, [towards] the destruction and elimination of their corrupt regimes, and [towards] a conflict that would encompass [all] the peoples and all sectors of society..." The Collaborating Arab Regimes and the Foreign Occupiers Are One "7) The claim that resistance against the occupying enemy succeeds while resistance against local rulers, that is, the internal enemy, is doomed to failure is a theoretical argument that is false from the practical and factual perspectives. Reality tells us that the external occupying enemy and the internal enemy... are one. They are joined in mutual loyalty against Islam and the Islamic nation, and often the internal enemy surpasses the external occupying enemy in hostility, violence and oppression [of the Muslims]. Even if they differ somewhat in aspirations and in their narrow, personal interests, there is one thing that unites them, and that is their collaboration in a war against Islam and the Muslims, as is happening now under the pretext of 'war on terror'... "How can [you] get to the external occupying enemy [when] the internal, local enemy is always watching over the occupying enemy and his interests, [and when the local enemy] hunts you down, kills you, imprisons you and turns you away from your faith even before you reach the borders of the occupiers' domain? Who is it that prevents the hosts of jihad from making advancing safely to expel the enemy that occupies Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and other occupied countries, and arrests thousands of young Muslim jihad fighters?... Is it not the internal enemy, namely the tyrannical leaders and their corrupt regimes that collaborate [with the external enemy]?... "8) I find that the Sheikh [Hamed Al-'Ali] is not quite clear on this issue [himself]... [since], in another [article], he allows violent demonstrations as a means of opposing a heretical tyrant whose heresy is beyond any doubt, while in [this] article, 'The Status of the Emblems of Jihad,' he states that 'plans to oppose the authorities will not succeed, while plans to resist occupation will succeed...' How can he allow something and then deny it can succeed?... "My esteem for Sheikh [Al-'Ali] is well-known, but I hold the truth above all. "[Signed:] 'Abd Al-Mun'im Mustafa Halima, "'Abu Basir Al-Tartusi,' "The first day of Jumada Al-Akhira, 1428 / June 16, 2007." [1] Sheikh Al-Tartusi, whose real name is 'Abd Al-Mun'im Mustafa Halima, is a Syrian expatriate living in London, and is a prominent theoretician of the Salafi jihadist trend in Islam.

The Jihad-sedition law

Over at RedState, there is an article everyone must read. Period. Here is an excerpt;

An amendment to 18 U.S.C. § 2385 which, taking specific cognizance of the current threat from Islam, establishes that the preaching of Jihad is tantamount to knowing and willful advocacy of “overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States”; that whoever, in accordance with the doctrine of Jihad, “prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States” shall be “fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.”

Jihadis and The American Way

Before I copy and paste an article from The New Media Journal (Robert E Meyer), I too will state that I have seen that which he has posted but have since lost the what I think to be the original link to the story. Granted, it could be an Urban Legend but the inference is unfolding before us.

We have what is known as an open society. We have what is known as open borders. We have what is known as Freedom of Speech. All of these have their vulnerabilities and can be exploited in ways as to make them useless in the long run. All if these have their rewards, consequences and subterfuge. Keeping this in mind, here is the article.

The New Media Journal

I recently heard about a statement from a discussion that allegedly occurred between an Islamic student attending an American university, and a traditional America student. The following statement may well be a fictitious conversation based in urban legend, but it is an accurate anecdote of the real threat America faces from the ideology of radical Islamic extremism. The Islamic student apparently stated resolutely, "Because of your Democracy we will invade you. Because of my religion we will dominate you." It rings as almost a parallel to the prophetic proclamation of Nikita Kruschev, who uttered from an Iowa cornfield during his excursion of the U.S., "we will bury you."

Many liberals, as well as certain of my conservative brethren, have sounded the alarm about the perils to freedom that come from surveillance programs initiated or expanded under the Patriot Act by the current administration. Yet, one has to wonder how we could have or will continue to root out existing internal security threats without them. Such regulation occupies a thankless status. I often have said to colleagues in regards to small, consistent pay increases in my profession: "You hardly notice the difference when you get your raises, but you would sure notice if you weren't getting them." I would suggest something similar could be said regarding onerous security measures. You don't notice that they do any good, but I suspect you would notice something bad were they not in place. That sort of condition lends itself to pejorative consideration.

Imagine a different scenario. You pick up a major newspaper on September 12th, 2001. On page A-17 is a short news story about how several small groups of young Saudi males carrying box cutters, were stopped by security at JFK and Logan International Airports. You chuckle audibly and think to yourself, "what were they trying to do, hijack airplanes armed with razor knives?"

"Because of your Democracy, we will invade you..." We see here the "flaw" that the Jihadists will exploit to gain a foothold. Prohibitions against ethnic profiling, treating terrorists as citizen criminal suspects in the civil court systems, maintaining an impregnable wall of information exchange between intelligence agencies, referring to the interception of foreign communications as "domestic spying," all contribute to the "invasion" under the guise of maintaining civil liberties.

I don't have anything against libertarian hawks who warn us about the threat to loss of our personal freedoms under The Bill of Rights. They do serve an function in our republic. Yet, what strikes me, is the cavalier attitude many of the same folks have toward the perpetual threat of terrorism. Of course, securing our borders will go a long way toward the security problem, but it wouldn't stop any "sleeper cells," or those who have already breached our porous borders. I am not comfortable with the attitude that perceives 9-11 as a freak anomaly.

Those who are politically left of center, take a foreign policy approach to answering the questions of terrorism. It seems that virtually any act of violence by Islamic terrorists, is justified by leftists on the basis that we either invaded Muslim lands, have supported Zionism, or that the socioeconomic suppression of the Islamic third world has made them resentful of our relative and common wealth. But fundamentalist unity and propensity for violence is not the phenomenon of a particular economic class of Muslims. Fervent activism transcends these simple economic explanations. An example is the recent foiled terrorist plot in Britain, where well respected and successful physicians were allegedly behind the plot.

The idea of "freedom" has been superseded by the latter day virtue of personal autonomy. It doesn't take much infringement to feel oppressed when your highest ideal is to do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it. Recently, I heard a noted Christian apologist assert that a morally strong America would present the greatest deterrent to terrorism within our borders. He is correct for many reasons. Pluralism and diversity once denoted ethnic variety. Today these concepts could just as easily signify moral ambiguity. If the Constitution is used predominately as a sword to advance group "rights," it will become a suicide pact. The gauntlet of political correctness is a malignant, freedom eating cancer.

"...Because of our religion we will dominate you." This seems like an odd thing to say if you are trying to convince someone that your personal faith is the "religion of peace." We can go around in a circle on the whole issue of whether Islam has been hijacked by extremists, or whether there are violent indicts embedded in the ideological fabric of Islam. Moderate Muslims will likely claim the former, while Jihadists will claim that the moderates are an abomination to true Islam. The real question is whether the Koran or other Islamic literature can justify and support the contemporary Jihadists movements.

Secular humanists have drawn parallels between the Judeo-Christian scriptures and the contemporary Jihadists mindset, recounting the historical record of Holy Wars waged by the Hebrew nation, along with other violent accounts, primarily from the Old Testament. The secularist, after giving me a dissertation about how rational he or she is, will then, unabashedly make ludicrous analogies between the late Jerry Falwell and Osama Bin Laden.

Following that logic, we must assume that Christians read in their Bibles that David slew Goliath, then get the idea that they must exterminate all remaining descendants of the Philistines. We see a large distinction between the continuing applicability of Biblical history versus Jihadist edict. Who was the last Christian who strapped a bomb on himself and blew his body to bits, in a hall packed with humanists or adherents to some other religious faith?

Last year's furor over the cartoon lampooning Mohammed, was a perfect illustration of both the reckless use of free speech by secularists, coupled with the violent proclivities perpetually festering in the Muslim world. What sort of uprising would follow the public mocking of Jesus Christ? If the Christian community was really thought to have the same propensity for violence and totalitarianism as radical Islam, I doubt the secularist would be so eager poke his local Christian in the eye with these silly comparisons.

Finally, I believe that Muslims who want to distinguish themselves from their radical counterparts, would do well if they were more demonstrable in condemning violence as it occurs. It is simply inadequate to merely argue that the concept of Jihad has been distorted.

Jihad Academy Near You Soon!!

Isn't this GREAT? What ever happened to the vaunted Separation of Church and State? Is this one of those one-sided issues? It is only Christian "outfits" that cannot have a religious facility on government property?

This Islamic Academy is on City Property. Go figure. We are trying to stop it. Our kids cannot pray in school but we can have an Islamic (Jihadist) Academy and foot-washing basins on City and Federal Property.

Something is just inherently wrong with that.

The Mecca Challenge

Deterrence

In view of Zawahiri’s latest video and audio tape, and his repetition of a phrase which appears to be an encrypted order to attack and in view of the increased threat perception, now is the time to prevent the next attack before it happens.

Only one thing can deter Islamic terrorists: a credible threat to retaliate against the Kaaba and the idol therein enshrined.

Someone must grow balls & spine, stand up to Islam, and swear: “By God, we will live free; we will not submit! We will not tolerate continued attacks! We will not tolerate continued threats!

That someone is G.W. Bush. His email address is comments@whitehouse.gov. For Chrissake, read the petition, sign it and send it to the President. Send it to everyone in your address book and exhort them to follow suit. If not us, who; if not now when? After the next attack it will be too late. Do it NOW!!!

To: Honorable G.W. Bush, President of the United States

Whereas Islam attacked American civilians four years ago killing 3000 and continues to threaten further attacks.

And whereas Islam subsequently attacked civilians in Madrid & London, further demonstrating evil intent & capacity.

And whereas Islam welcomes Shaheed [death in battle] as the only guarantee of admission to Paradise & avoiding Hellfire.

And whereas Islam devalues life and is willing to murder & mutilate many of their own in order to kill a few Kufar, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America demand the immediate public declaration of intent to destroy, without warning, regret, remorse or reservation the only worldly assets of value to Islam: The Kaab’a, Grand Mosque & City of Mecca, which are necessary to performing the rite of Hajj, as the only possible means of raising the cost of terrorism above Islam’s will to pay!

Let Islam be assured, that the immediate result of any further attack on our homeland or diplomatic soil will be the complete destruction of Mecca, its inhabitants & infrastructure so that the Kaab’a and the infernal idol therein enshrined will be anihilated.

Further, let it be known that, if you fail to declare Mecca as our default target for retaliation, we will, in the event of any subsequent attack, impute to you the blood, grief and misery of the innocent victims!

Sincerely,

Possible "New" OBL Video

From The Blotter:

Possible New Message From Osama Bin Laden

A brief clip of an older-looking Osama bin Laden is contained in a new al Qaeda videotape praising al Qaeda martyrs posted on jihadi Web sites early this morning.

Experts who study al Qaeda videos told ABC News they had not previously seen the clip of bin Laden, which was released with little fanfare and contains no date references, but say it is most likely an unreleased portion of an earlier message.

The al Qaeda leader speaks of martyrdom for roughly one minute as he addresses an unseen group in a mountainous location, wearing fatigues, a watch and ring, and with extensive gray in his beard.

The clip is part of a 40-minute film "Scent of Heaven" from al Qaeda's as Sahab video propaganda arm discovered on the Internet by Laura Mansfield of Strategic Translations.

The clip also contains several "martyrdom" videos from various al Qaeda followers from Pakistan, Morocco, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Turkistan.

In the clip, bin Laden talks about martyrdom as he refers to the prophet Mohammad.

"He wished to become a martyr," bin Laden says of Mohammad, before quoting a hadith (prophet saying).

"By Him, in Whose hand Mohammad's soul is, I would've liked to raid and be killed, then raid and be killed, then raid and be killed," he says.

AQI is on the run

"...Before the tape was running, I asked Abu Ali why he and the 1920s turned against al Qaeda in Buhriz. Speaking through LT David Wallach, a native Arabic speaker, Abu Ali said that “al Qaeda is an abomination of Islam: cutting off heads, stealing people’s money, kidnapping . . . every type of torture they have done.”

The recent stories of baked children came to mind. I asked if Abu Ali had heard about children being baked. Ali said no, he had not heard such a story, but he would not be surprised if it were true because al Qaeda had done so many crimes, such as cutting off a man’s head, putting it up on a stick and parading it around town.

Ali said people had been afraid in their own homes because of al Qaeda. I asked if he had fought Americans and Ali laughed and said through Wallach, “What kind of question is that?” I chuckled. Unfortunately, we had to go to other meetings, so the time for taping was short. In closing, I asked Abu Ali if there was something he would like to say to Americans. The markets that had been closed under al Qaeda were bustling around us..."

UPDATE!! Remember this?

Teams of al Qaeda-trained suicide bombers were dispatched to the United States and Europe from an Afghan camp 10 days ago, ABC News reported last night.

About 300 would-be bombers - including boys as young as 12 - were ordered to carry out attacks in Britain, Canada, Germany and the United States, the report said.

A Pakistani journalist invited to attend the camp took pictures of a Taliban commander congratulating graduates on June 9, ABC News said.

No. The United States has nothing to fear from the members of the religion of peace.

Al Qaeda Cell in the U.S. Or On Its Way, According to New Intel

Brian Ross Reports:

Senior U.S. intelligence officials tell ABC News new intelligence suggests a small al Qaeda cell is on its way to the United States, or may already be here.

The White House has convened an urgent multi-agency meeting for Thursday afternoon to deal with the new threat.

Top intelligence and law enforcement officials have been told to assemble in the Situation Room to report on:

--what steps can be taken to minimize or counter the threat,

--and what steps are being taken to harden security for government buildings and personnel.

"It suggests they have information that the cell or cells coming this direction want to attack a government facility," Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent and ABC News consultant, said.

Law enforcement officials say the recent failed attacks in London have provided important new clues about possible tactics.

And officials say the London attackers use of the Internet left important clues that are being used to decode other e-mails that had initially been deemed unimportant but are now taking on new significance.

A senior administration official said the level of concern of a new terror attack is now higher than it has been in some time, and the meeting this week in the situation room is one of a number that have been convened in light of the new intelligence and what happened in London.

Today in the NY Post: OSAMA BLESSED BRIT PLOT

July 7, 2007 — The three car-bomb attempts in Britain were carried out with the approval of Osama bin Laden, it was reported yesterday.

“It was an established fact from Day 1 that al Qaeda was behind this and it was planned by its followers in Great Britain with bin Laden’s blessing,” a senior foreign intelligence source told The Times of London.

Bilal Abdullah was formally charged with conspiracy yesterday, making him the first suspected plotter to be charged, British officials said. He was to appear in court today.

Abdullah, an Iraqi-trained doctor, was the passenger in the flaming SUV that rammed into Glasgow’s international airport terminal last Saturday.

Abdullah, 27, is one of eight foreigners working for Britain’s National Health Service hospitals who are suspected of being members of an al Qaeda sleeper cell responsible for the attacks at the airport and a day before in central London.

“Other individuals arrested by the police in connection with the bomb attacks remain in custody pending a charging decision,” said prosecutor Susan Hemming.

“I have now made the decision that there is sufficient evidence and authorized the charging of Bilal Abdullah with conspiracy to cause explosions following incidents in London and Glasgow” on June 29 and 30, she said.

Details have emerged to show that Abdullah seems to be the key link between the suspects.

He had links to radical Islamic groups on the database of MI5, Britain’s intelligence service, security officials said.

“This is an international investigation now,” British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said after speaking with Australian PM John Howard. Australian officials are holding one of the suspects and probing at least five other doctors working in Australian hospitals.

Abdullah used to berate others at the University of Cambridge for not being devout enough Muslims. He teamed up there with Mohammed Asha, a brilliant neurosurgeon who was arrested last Saturday.

Asha and another suspected member of the cell made inquiries in the last year about working in the United States, the FBI said yesterday.

The two men contacted the Philadelphia-based Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates but apparently did not take the test for foreign medical-school graduates, FBI spokeswoman Nancy O’Dowd said. With Post Wire Services

… he met the man privately with a translator and sheik after holding talks with Sunni Muslim tribal and religious leaders April 18 in the Jordanian capital, Amman. He meets regularly with extremists in an attempt to calm Iraq’s sectarian violence.He said religious leaders told him the man was an al-Qaida leader who traveled from Syria to the meeting. The man, an educated Iraqi in his 40s and dressed in Western clothes, warned of attacks on Britain and the United States, White said.

“It was like meeting the devil,”(source)

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said there will be increased scrutiny of foreigners recruited for their skills, including doctors coming to work for the National Health Service.

Before September 11, 2001, the ‘chatter’ mentioned boxcutters. Today the chatter is talking about ‘hand grenades’ going off in places like New York. I think suicide bombers, or IED’s, grenades, are probably more likely than terrorist doctors in the United States.

Has anyone seen recent reports of that old rock group the monkeys? As I was reading Spree’s take, and watching the news at the same time, all I could think of was:

Just plug in “Jihadis” or “suicide bombers” whenever you see the word “monkees”.

Just plug in the word “murdering” whenever you see the word “singing”.

Here we come, walkin’
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev’ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young gneration,
And we've got something to say.

Any time, Or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

(break)

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young gneration,
And we've got something to say.

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
[repeat and fade]

extra verse:

Hey, hey, we're the Monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
so you'd better get ready,
We may be comin' to your town.

“These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places. Why shouldn’t we go after them?” the commander, Mansoor Dadullah - whose brother was killed by U.S. forces last month - can be heard saying on tape.

U.S. intelligence officials dismissed the graduation ceremony as “aggressive and sophisticated propaganda.” But Richard Clarke, a former counterterror expert in the Clinton and Bush White Houses, said the threat should be taken seriously.

“It doesn’t take too many who are willing . . . and able to slip through . . . to the United States or England [to] cause a lot of damage,” he said.

More than 100 people have been killed in three days of clashes between NATO and the Taliban in southern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said.

Iran and AQI

Iran Admits Working With Al Qaida

IMAGINE THAT!!

July 7, 2007 — Al Qaeda is using Iran as a money and communications hub - and that nation’s government is turning a blind eye, it was reported yesterday.

“They are benefiting from the mayhem al Qeada is carrying out,” a senior U.S. official told London’s Financial Times.

Operatives are moving around the country, and serve as a bridge between Pakistan and its fighters in Iraq and North Africa, the newspaper reported.

The country is not supplying al Qaeda with weapons, but the government does not want to distract the group from its objectives in Iraq.

“Our relationship with al Qaeda, at an intelligence level, can be said to be successful as long as they are at a distance,” an Iranian official told Financial Times.

The relationship was said to be born from the Shia Iran’s fear of the terror network’s Sunni extremists.

Updates will be posted as more data flows. (Was there EVER any doubt as to Iran’s involvement, other than from the idiot moonbats?)

Former Radical Islamist: “I Know Their Thinking.”

Although I’m not completely won over by Hassan Butt, he does make some good points here about the real roots of Islamic terror.

I was a fanatic…I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist

By HASSAN BUTT - More by this author »

When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network - a series of British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology - I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this “Blair’s bombs” line did our propaganda work for us.

More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

The attempts to cause mass destruction in London and Glasgow are so reminiscent of other recent British Islamic extremist plots that they are likely to have been carried out by my former peers.

And as with previous terror attacks, people are again saying that violence carried out by Muslims is all to do with foreign policy.

For example, on Saturday on Radio 4’s Today programme, the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, said: “What all our intelligence shows about the opinions of disaffected young Muslims is the main driving force is not Afghanistan, it is mainly Iraq.”

I left the British Jihadi Network in February 2006 because I realised that its members had simply become mindless killers. But if I were still fighting for their cause, I’d be laughing once again.

Mohammed Sidique Khan met with the author on two separate occasions

Mohammad Sidique Khan, the leader of the July 7 bombings, and I were both part of the network - I met him on two occasions.

And though many British extremists are angered by the deaths of fellow Muslim across the world, what drove me and many others to plot acts of extreme terror within Britain and abroad was a sense that we were fighting for the creation of a revolutionary worldwide Islamic state that would dispense Islamic justice.

If we were interested in justice, you may ask, how did this continuing violence come to be the means of promoting such a (flawed) Utopian goal?

How do Islamic radicals justify such terror in the name of their religion?

There isn’t enough room to outline everything here, but the foundation of extremist reasoning rests upon a model of the world in which you are either a believer or an infidel.

Formal Islamic theology, unlike Christian theology, does not allow for the separation of state and religion: they are considered to be one and the same.

For centuries, the reasoning of Islamic
