* A radical imam in Detroit was killed in a shootout with the FBI.
* Jihadist Nidal Hasan killed 13 in a terrorist attack that was
clearly enabled by a climate of political correctness that has taken
root in our military and law enforcement establishments.
* Just this past week David Headley, arrested in October in
Chicago, was charged with participation in last year’s terrorist
attack in Mumbai—an arrest that raised this question in a Time
magazine article: “Are Pakistani Jihadis Going Global?”
* Speaking of “going global,” five young American men, including a
dental student at DC’s Howard University, were recently captured in
Pakistan. They are suspected of going there to link up with jihadist
organizations.
Now we read in the story below what the leader of As-Sabiqun, “one of
America’s most openly radical Islamist organizations,” has been saying
about Nidal Hasan, Iran, and the demise of the United States.
The political climate in Washington is emboldening jihadists and other
radical Islamists in America and throughout the world. Clearly, the
acceleration of jihadist actions and words this year reflect that.
But as a result, the grassroots awareness in America is growing, as
evidenced by polls taken after the Ft. Hood jihadist attack.
So take heart—and take action! As Edmund Burke said, the only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Radical Movement's Leader Forecasts
America's Demise
IPT News
December 4, 2009
http://www.investigativeproject.org/1553/radical-movements-leader-forecasts-americas-demise
As the spotlight moves away from the Fort Hood massacre, one of
America's most openly radical Islamist organizations has taken to the
murderer's defense. As-Sabiqun, a Washington D.C.-based organization
with branches in four other major American cities, released a flyer
labeling shooter Nidal Malik Hasan as "victimized" and the "target of
psychological warfare." The handout also defended convicted terrorists
and suspects.
As-Sabiqun has repeatedly predicted the demise of the United States
and dreams of "the Islamic State of North America no later than 2050."
It has openly declared support for terrorist organizations like Hamas
and Hizbullah, and even claimed it funded anti-American militants.
With concerns growing over radical Islamist propaganda in the United
States, As-Sabiqun is one of the leading organizations building a
bridge between international Islamism and its developing American
counterpart.
As-Sabiqun is headquartered in Washington D.C., but has branches in
Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and Philadelphia. Its
leader, Imam Abdul Alim Musa, is well-known in Islamist circles for
spreading anti-American propaganda and militancy. Last weekend, Musa
addressed the annual conference of the Muslim Students Association –
Persian Speaking group, a Shia branch of the national Muslim Students
Association primarily for Shia Muslims. There, Musa saluted the
Iranian Revolution as the "greatest epic in modern, even ancient
history" and urged the students to have patience as the United States
collapsed:
"Well I'm telling you, it's very simple. I think you got the message
now. We're in a big war brothers and sisters. This is as big as it
gets for the United States. We are just like it is during the 60s and
70s. So if you're gonna be Muslim, buckle down and be a tough one
because in the final analysis the U.S. is finished."
You're a nutter, so I won't bother to educate you on the difference
between bugfuck-crazy acts and terrorism. Suffice it to say, you're
wrong as usual.
Curt
So Hasan wasn't committing terrorism?
He hadn't tipped his hand to it before?
He wasn't screaming Allah Akbar?
Why do you do this to yourself, dummy?
You know you're going to be eviscerated handily, again...
Well, the old-school official concept of terrism was violence (yeah
yeah, or the threat of) to achieve a political purpose. You know,
blowing up Israeli airliners to scare the Israelis out of Israel,
blowing up doctor offices to scare women away from medical care,
shooting up sharecroppers' houses to keep blacks from voting, you
know, that stuff.
I couldn't say what the Cowardsnweenies have recently done to screw up
the standard concept of terrorism. I mean, Jeebus, they call PETA
terrorists these days, y'know? But under the real-world "terrorism"
umbrella, no, bugfuck-crazy Hasan wasn't committing terrorism. He just
didn't want to go to war -- which, if you think about it, really
doesn't make him much different from most of the Weeniesncowards that
are now calling him a terrorist, yeah?
I mean, at least a liberal doesn't shoot a bunch of people to keep
from going to war. They just say they're COs or something.
Curt
The new school includes outright claims of Jihad, killing for "Allah",
the radical muzzie agenda, 911, etc.
Yeah, he was committing terrorism.

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/nidal-hasan-and-fort-hood-a-study-in-muslim-doctrine-part-1/
According to his colleague, Dr. Finnell, Hasan �was very vocal about the
war, very upfront about being a Muslim first and an American second.� If
his being �vocal about the war� is not enough to demonstrate unwavering
loyalty to Islam, his insistence that he is first and foremost a Muslim
is. Other evidence indicates that the primary factor that threw him
�over the edge� was that he was being deployed to a Muslim country
(Afghanistan) � his �worst nightmare.�
According to a fellow Muslim convenience store owner who often spoke
with Hasan, the thought that he might injure or kill Muslims �weighed
heavily on him.� Hasan also counseled a fellow Muslim not to join the
U.S. Army, since �Muslims shouldn�t kill Muslims,� again, showing where
his loyalty lies. Tabari�s exegesis comes to mind: the Muslim who
�allies with them [non-Muslims] and enables them against the believers,
that same one is a member of their faith and community,� i.e., he too
becomes an infidel (AQR, p. 71).
Another source who spoke with Hasan notes that �in the Koran, you�re not
supposed to have alliances with Jews or Christian or others, and if you
are killed in the military fighting against Muslims, you will go to hell.�

Well, actually, to me it just looks like he was afraid to go. His

Naaah. I agreed with you re the blood on the fur coats -- it's a form
of terrism. I'm just saying it's not a particularly.. terrifying..
form. I'd personally rather be held hostage by PETA idiots than
beardie weirdies, and I think you would too.

His fellow soldiers weren't the state, nor the sovereign. He didn't
levy war against the state. He betrayed his friends -- which is
treacherous and vile, but no, he did not commit the crime of treason.

"Well, actually, to me it just looks like he was afraid to go. His

frightened Republicans find a different way out. Maybe he didn't have
the right roomie in college."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now isn't it interesting that Curt:
1.) Finds any of these slaughters "funny"...
2.) Made the leap of any known evidence that Hasan was a Republican...
3.) Tried to indict Republicans as a whole with Muzzie Jihad menatality...
4.) Excused the "Allah Akbar" chant as not representing Jihad or terror...
And in several other posts in the thread he made explicit attempts to
redefine what terror is, treason too, and even acts of war.
All to defend this slimeball Jihadist sleeper cell bastard who killed
his own fellow soldiers.
I can't even conceive of how filled with irrational partisan spite and
pure self-loathing a person would have to be to try and draw that kind
of specious self-serving indictment out of an obvious act of Muzzie terror.
Note that not one post that I've read here has _ever_ tried to indict
DeomCraps for Hasan's treachery, not one.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the last few months Curt
has become a wildly unhinged, lying, scumsucking turd of a person.
What finally opened that door, I can not say, but there it is.
Really disgusting.
And he'll wear this shit until he makes a full public retraction and
apology.
You have my word on it.
I find no indication that he finds any slaughter "funny", as in
humorous. It is clear in the above that he means "odd", or
"coincidental", which are other perfectly valid meanings of "funny".
>2.) Made the leap of any known evidence that Hasan was a Republican...
I'm not sure that there is any particular evidence. However, the
military are disproportionately of that particular persuasion,
especially so, when one excludes the blacks and Hispanics in the
military.
>3.) Tried to indict Republicans as a whole with Muzzie Jihad menatality...
1. Fundamentalist Christians are nearly all Republicans, and there
isn't much difference between fundies of one religion or another. And
the nearly 100% lockstep of Congressional Republicans shows the
tendency towards mindless groupthink that makes that sort of thing
possible.
>4.) Excused the "Allah Akbar" chant as not representing Jihad or terror...
That is simple. It doesn't. It merely means "God is great" and it is
as standard in Islamic worship of all stripes as "Hear O Israel the
Lord your God is One" is standard in Jewish worship, and the symbol of
the cross in Catholic worship.
>And in several other posts in the thread he made explicit attempts to
>redefine what terror is,
"Terror" and "terrorism" are not the same thing. "Terrorism" has a
specific legal definition.
>treason too
Treason against the US is defined in the US Constitution. No other
definition matters here.
>and even acts of war.
That is also defined under international law. Individuals cannot
commit them.
>All to defend
I see no sign of anyone defending anyone. He merely said that the
words used to condemn him were not the correct words.
>this slimeball
perhaps
>Jihadist
evidence is lacking
>sleeper cell
There is absolutely no evidence that I've seen that he was part of any
"cell", nor that he was a "sleeper agent" working on behalf of anyone
but himself.
>bastard
I haven't read anything about his parentage.
>who killed his own fellow soldiers.
Even you can actually get PART of a sentence correct.
>I can't even conceive of how filled with irrational partisan spite and
>pure self-loathing a person would have to be to try and draw that kind
>of specious self-serving indictment out of an obvious act of Muzzie terror.
It simply is NOT obvious that it was intended as an act of terror.
>Note that not one post that I've read here has _ever_ tried to indict
>DeomCraps for Hasan's treachery, not one.
Probably because there is no resemblance between his behavior and that
of any member of that party.
>I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the last few months Curt
>has become a wildly unhinged, lying, scumsucking turd of a person.
I can only opine based on the postings I see, and those adjectives
seem to better apply to you than to him.

Wake up, they're coming:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126058036714988243.html
U.S. counterterrorism officials say 2009 has turned into the year of
homegrown jihad, with the unmasking of the most serious suspected terror
plots involving Americans in about five years.
U.S. investigators are still trying to determine what drew five young
Americans to travel last month to Pakistan, where local authorities
allege they had sought to join extremist groups that have attacked U.S.
soldiers in Afghanistan. U.S. investigators have interviewed some of the
men, but haven't verified the information Pakistani officials have
released on the case.
The surge in alleged terror cases has raised concerns among
counterterrorism officials. Some officials say young men have been
swayed by the escalating war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as
intensifying Internet recruiting of Westerners by extremist groups.
At a Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing
last month, experts on terrorism cited the recent cases as evidence that
the threat of radicalization, long an issue in Europe, has become a
major concern in the U.S.

Not racist at all. Those ARE two groups which are known to have
strong statistical anomalies in party membership, and therefore would
be expected to skew the military statistics towards the Dems. But
despite this skewing, the military is heavily Republican, meaning that
those who aren't blacks and Hispanics are even more strongly
Republican than the overall military statistics reflect.

Christian fundies choose other methods to display their hatred for the
rest of humanity, since they live in a country where more
sophisticated means of doing so exist that suicide bombing. The
mentality is the same though. And it is just as deadly. (Bush's
bombs killed far more innocent Iraqis than all the suicide bombers in
history).
Indeed, your "drop dead" rhetoric shows that you are of the same
stripe (whether you are fundie or not). I wouldn't put it past you to
bomb an abortion clinic, or shoot up a mosque (or even a church).

Now isn't it interesting that Curt:
1.) Finds any of these slaughters "funny"...
2.) Made the leap of any known evidence that Hasan was a Republican...
3.) Tried to indict Republicans as a whole with Muzzie Jihad menatality...
4.) Excused the "Allah Akbar" chant as not representing Jihad or terror...
And in several other posts in the thread he made explicit attempts to
redefine what terror is, treason too, and even acts of war.
All to defend this slimeball Jihadist sleeper cell bastard who killed
his own fellow soldiers.
I can't even conceive of how filled with irrational partisan spite and
pure self-loathing a person would have to be to try and draw that kind
of specious self-serving indictment out of an obvious act of Muzzie terror.
Note that not one post that I've read here has _ever_ tried to indict
DeomCraps for Hasan's treachery, not one.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - the last few months Curt
has become a wildly unhinged, lying, scumsucking turd of a person.
What finally opened that door, I can not say, but there it is.
Really disgusting.
And he'll wear this shit until he makes a full public retraction and

Has anyone asked THEM whether they felt "liberated", or even whether
they WANTED to be "liberated" at the cost of the lives of their loved

Alternatively, one take the same attitude you just expressed , and can
look at the US, and decide that a couple of dozen people or even a few
thousand people being murdered by strangers from a foreign land is
perfectly OK, so long as the rest of us are "liberated" from our
theocratic-fundie Christian rulership.
The attitude that one has the right to kill some people in order to
"liberate" others, is precisely the attitude that leads to terrorism.

They wanted to be liberated. But they didn't know what to do with it
when it was handed to them. The US sacrificed -- greatly -- for a
people that ultimately turned out not to be worth the effort.

Iraq Poll February 2009
This survey was conducted for ABC News, the BBC and NHK by D3 Systems of
Vienna, Va., and KA Research Ltd. of Istanbul, Turkey. Interviews were
conducted in person, in Arabic or Kurdish, among a random national
sample of 2,228 Iraqis aged 18 and up, from 17-25 February 2009.
Q1.Overall, how would you say things are going in your life these days?
Would you say things are very good, quite good, quite bad, or very bad?
Feb09% Mar08% Aug07% Feb07% 2005% 2004%
Very Good 21 13 8 8 22 13
Quite Good 44 41 31 31 49 57
Q4 Do you think your children will have a better life than you, worse,
or about the same?
Feb09% Mar08% Aug07% Feb07%
Better 44 39 33 42
Worse 26 28 42 37
Q15. There can be differences between the way government is set up in a
country, called the political system. From the three options I am going
to read to you, which one do you think would be best for Iraq now?
Feb09% Feb07% 2005% 2004%
Strong leader: government headed by one man for life
14 34 26 28
Islamic state: where politicians rule according to religious principles

Let's all buy Curt a leash for his new personal bitch, Spammy. Oh, and a muzzle.
And let's name you his new poodle.
The people were worth the effort.
The problem is that Americans expect people of other cultures to
instantly understand those concepts that we intuitively grasp based on
our own cultural upbringing, and how to apply them. Our system
doesn't work merely because democracy is superior, or capitalism is
superior, or any other single factor. We have a complex of things,
including a history of ideas, a lot of money and resources - and
several centuries of experience.
To expect that we can depose a dictator and suddenly everything will
be hunky dory is hideously naive. It took the Marshall Plan to save
western Europe (and even then Spain took a couple of decades to lose
its dictator). It took until the 70s before Japan really recovered
from its WW II military dictatorship. It took Eastern Europe several
decades to throw off Soviet rule.
If we go in to try to change someone's system of government, even for
the right reasons, we have to be prepared to stay and help for a full
generation or more, spending money rather liberally. And we would be
wise to have understood and decided this BEFORE we invade. In Iraq
and Afghanistan, we didn't, and we aren't willing to stay the long
course. (And Bush tried to do it on the cheap, with budget sophistry
to hide even those costs, as well). Thus, we will not achieve our
full aims as envisioned by Bush (we might achieve some lesser aims,
though).

We did not fight WW II in order to liberate the death campers. Indeed,
we made it rather hard for Jewish refugees to get away before the
death camps existed. That we did liberate them is nice, but it wasn't
what we were fighting for. (Indeed, we did not even declare war on
the Nazis. They declared war on us).

Why do you make it so easy for me anyway?
Do you enjoy knowing that EVERYONE out here (save for the most
desperate moonbats) depises you?
Oh my, trying to make a dummy be consistent - priceless...
Your universal claim is unprovable. You'd have to verify that every
single person who has ever strapped a bomb vest to a child was
non-Christian, and there is no list of such children, much less the
strappers on.
On the other hand, Christians have killed their children,
intentionally, to spite other people, and the method of killing the
child really doesn't matter - the kid dies in any event.

I made no such claim. My claim was "The attitude that one has the
right to kill some people in order to "liberate" others, is precisely
the attitude that leads to terrorism."
>> That we did liberate them is nice,
>
>Oh, it's "nice"...is that all?
Are you claiming that it isn't nice? Is there some other adjective
that you feel is vital that one express in response to your statement?
It isn't especially relevant as a response to my claim, and thus
wasn't worth more than a "that's nice" in response.

Wrong. I just consider the American values worthy of being

apparently espouse.

Because you're such a natural at making a fool of yourself, I need do
nothing to make it so easy for you.

Your evidence is non-existent.
I suspect that more people dislike you than me, since your only
contributions seem to be rather boring and repetitive foul-language
insults aimed at everyone who responds to you.
Your pantheon of lies is unending.

No, I wouldn't.

NO.

Nuff said.
No. YOU made the claim "Christians do NOT strap bomb vests to their
children - period.", not me. YOU have to back it up; I have no
obligation to disprove your nonsense.
However, it seems highly implausible as the absolute and universal
claim you made. And any watering down that makes it less than a
universal claim about Christians would apply just as effectively to
any other group. Or perhaps you are relying on a "no true Scotsman"
fallacy and claim that anyone who would strap a bomb vest to their
child isn't a Christian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_scotsman
But then someone can equally argue that no true Moslem would strap a
bomb vest to their child. Or merely point out that Christians are
found to regular partake of every other sort of sin imaginable, so
there isn't much reason to believe that they wouldn't commit this one.

It is irrelevant in dismissing my example of the Soviet Union in

Meanwhile, I don't place much stock in poll data. Even less when it
is a poll of a different culture in a different language, and I thus
cannot evaluate the neutrality of the questions.
After all, there are polls that show people in some foreign countries
have 80% or even 90% approval ratings for Obama.

<1933 - American newspapers and magazines reported the existence of
< concentration camps in early 1933, when Dachau first slammed its gate
< shut on a group of Communists and other political enemies of the
< Nazis. The camps had gained reputations for harsh and sadistic
< treatment of prisoners.
We apparently knew about and tolerated the existence of concentration
camps for 8 years and never went to war over them. Indeed, we never
did declare war on Germany (they declared war on us, after we declared
war on Japan).
<1943 - ... Under Paragraph 175 of the German legal code, male
< homosexuality was punished by imprisonment, but not female
< lesbianism. After 1943, male homosexuals were forced to wear a pink
< trangle and were sent to the death camps. The Americans did not
< repeal Paragraph 175 and sent homosexual inmates liberated from the
< camps to other prisons.
So much for "liberation".
And of course WE didn't do all that much of the "liberating". The
Soviets did. Other allied armies liberated death camps months before
the Americans reached their first one
<July 24, 1944 - At Lublin in Poland, Red Army soldiers discovered the
< abandoned Majdanek extermination camp, the first major camp to be
< liberated. Despite hasty efforts of the Germans to burn the camp to

< During the next month, Soviet troops liberated the abandoned Belzec

<
<October 26, 1944 - Canadian forces liberated the abandoned Vught
< concentration camp in the Netherlands.
<
<November 23 1944 - The French Army entered the abandoned

<
<January 27, 1945 - Soviet Army liberated Auschwitz, the largest Nazi
< death camp.
<
<April 5, 1945 - In search of secret Nazi communications along the
< Autobahn, units of the American Fourth Armored Division of the Third
< Army moved on Gotha and Ohrdruf, discovering the first of the camps
< containing prisoners and corpses to be uncovered by American armies.
So even when we did first find a death camp, it was accidental while
searching for communications.
<Victims of starvation and tuberculosis, the prisoners had also

Liberation from our own bombs?
and finally:

From your cite:
December 9, 1944 - Americans Colonel Paul Kirk and Lt. Colonel Edward J.
Gully of the American Sixth Army Group arrived to inspect
Natzweiler-Struthof. They duly reported their findings: a disinfestation
unit, a large pile of human hair, a gas chamber, an incinerator room
with equipment intended for the burning of human bodies, a cell room and
an autopsy room. After their first-hand look and detailed report to war
crimes investigators, they retained a certain measure of disbelief, or
"double vision" as Bracker described it. The correlation between the
remains of the camp and millions dead could not be grasped even on
personal inspection. This "double vision" was as much a story as the
discovery of the camp itself. The term came from the first Great War
when false propaganda about German atrocities was widely reported. Many
remembered this and thought perhaps the reports coming from Europe to
the United States were false too. However, Bracker attributed the
disbelief to simply the inability to conceive the magnitude and detail
of the horror. "Double vision" was typical of many American officers in
France, who infuriated local populations by doubting and sometimes even
scoffing at stories of German inhumanity.
> And of course WE didn't do all that much of the "liberating". The
> Soviets did.
April 12, 1945 - Generals George Patton, Omar Bradley,and Dwight
Eisenhower arrived in Ohrdruf. They saw more than 3,200 naked, emaciated
bodies that had been flung into shallow graves. Eisenhower insisted on
seeing the entire camp: a shed piled to the ceiling with bodies, various
torture devices, and a butcher's block used for smashing gold fillings
from the mouths of the dead. Patton became physically ill behind the
barracks. Eisenhower felt that it was necessary for his troops to see
for themselves, and the world to know about the conditions at Ohrdruf.
The day ended with news that Roosevelt had died. Many American soldiers
did not know what they were fighting for. Eisenhower realized that it
was imperative for the soldiers to at least understand what they were
fighting against. He wanted the world to know of the conditions at
Ohrdruf. His message to Washington read: "We are constantly finding
German camps in which they have placed political prisoners where
unspeakable conditions exist. From my own personal observation, I can
state unequivocally that all written statements up to now do not paint
the full horrors."
April 29, 1945 - American forces liberated Dachau, the first
concentration camp built in 1933.

Deny we liberated any camps.
http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Mauthausen/KZMauthausen/Liberation/index.html
The photograph above was taken on May 6, 1945, the day after the
official liberation of the Mauthausen main camp. It shows prisoners
surrounding an M8 Greyhound armored car. According to Pierre Serge
Choumoff, the liberation of Mauthausen, as shown in the photo above, was
reenacted for photographers at the request of General Dwight D.
Eisenhower. The Nazi eagle over the gate had already been removed by the
prisoners and a banner, written in Spanish, had been put up by the
Spanish political prisoners. The English translation reads "The Spanish
Anti-Fascists Salute the Liberating Forces."
These prisoners were Spanish Republicans who had fought against General
Francisco Franco's Fascist forces in the Spanish Civil War and had
escaped to France when the Republicans lost the war. The Spanish
Republicans were interned by the French and later, when the Germans
defeated France in 1940, they were incarcerated as political prisoners
because they were opposed to the Nazis. Germany had fought on the side
of Franco in the Spanish Civil War, which was a war between the Fascists
and the Communists. For the anti-Fascist Spanish Republicans, Mauthausen
has the same significance as Auschwitz does for the Jews.
On May 5, 1945, the date usually given for the official liberation of
the Mauthausen main concentration camp, a platoon of 23 men from the
11th Armored Division of the US Third Army, led by Staff Sgt. Albert J.
Kosiek, arrived at the main camp near the town of Mauthausen. They were
guided there by Louis Haefliger, a Red Cross representative in the camp,
and two German soldiers, after first liberating the Gusen sub-camp, 6
kilometers to the west.

The ELN was based on Catholic "liberation theology". The IRA is
strongly associated with internecine Christian strife. (FARC appears
to be Marxist, so I won't claim that their use of children reflects
Christianity.
The same source notes that it was the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka that
were the innovators that developed the concept of child suicide
bombers. The Tamil Tigers are secular, based on a population that is
80% Hindu and 20% Catholic, with a smattering of Protestants

Why would I do that? The claim at issue was whether we fought the war
in order to liberate the death camps, not whether we did so
incidentally to our other goals in the war. Your response is
essentially an admission that I am correct, since the things you quote
clearly indicate that not only was liberating the camps not a
priority, but the soldiers involved didn't even believe what they
found once they stumbled on it, and that they offended the locals by
denying the existence and nature of the camps.
>> and not in the least bit

>
>Sacrificing our lives in was is not "selfless?"
No lives were sacrificed in liberating the camps, which were generally
abandoned before we got there. The Germans were in the process of
surrendering on May 6, 1945.
Lives were expended as part of the invasion of Europe, but we didn't
invade Europe for the purpose of liberating death camps that your
quotes show we didn't really believe existed. We did it to defeat the
armies of Hitler's Germany.

Jihad is an Islamic concept predicated on enslaving the infidels to

Killing an abortionist is a message sent to stop the slaughter of

No religious conversion, forced or otherwise, is implied nor sought.

Of course it does. Murder is murder. Terrorism is terrorism. Doing
it because of your religious beliefs does not make it moral, even if
you think that abortion doctors are killers. If they did, then you
have to allow that the radical Moslems who practice terror for
religious reasons view their enemies PRECISELY the way that you view
Tiller. If Tiller's murder was moral, then so was 9/11. (Of course I
don't think either is moral).

Crime is not trivial, especially when innocent people die.
Indeed, you seem to be the one trying to trivialize innocent deaths in
war time. At least when we do it.
The trouble is that if it is OK for your side to kill innocents when
at war, then it is OK for the other side to do so as well. Otherwise
one is hypocritically supporting a double standard.
If we are at war against Iraqs and consider it OK to kill innocents,
then we justify them doing so too.

It may be "time-tested", but those who are killed are not "liberated",

Compehensible or not, it shows that we did not fight the war to
liberate death camps that we didn't believe existed, and we scoffed at
stories of German inhumanity to show our "nobility".

We joined the conflict because Germany declared war on us, and started

believe existed had NOTHING to do with it.

It was not a priority at all before we knew they existed, which was
after Germany was collapsing militarily, and pretty much our sole
priorities were to end the war and capture as much territory as
possible before the Soviets did so as to have some say in the post-war
era.

Wrong. Many military units had surrendered, and the German government
was negotiating surrender.
The last significant battle of WW II in Europe was the Battle of
Berlin, fought by the Russians; the city surrendered on 2 May 1945.
There was still disorganized fighting after that point as Germans
soldiers fought their way west so that they could surrender to Western
allies rather than the Soviets.
There were a couple of minor battles even after the German government
surrendered and V-E Day was celebrated. Some skirmish on an island in
Netherlands, and a battle against several thousand partisans in
Poljana Yugoslavia took place in mid to late May, but these had no
significance with respect to the lack of hostilities as we rolled past
a few undefended death camps in our race eastward.

So? Unlike us they knew of and believed in the German atrocities.
THEY had reason to seek out and liberate death camps. We didn't,
since we didn't know they existed until AFTER the Russians had
liberated most of them.

did so.
I just said that IF we were "noble", then the Soviets were "noble".
But I don't know many right wing nutcases that will concede even the

An absolute claim requires exhaustive evidence, and is disproven by a

If you had said "Christians generally don't ...", I could not have

true.

You have provided no evidence of any such mentality. And radical

"Mainly" is not "solely". There were Christians among the Tamils who

your claim a lie.

"Modern Christendom" is a couple of billion people, most of whom don't
even go to church regularly. "radical Islam" is a few tens of
thousand extremists, and I compared them to fundie extremist
Christians of the sort that think murdering abortion doctors is
justified, not to all of "Modern Christendom", of which fundies are a
tiny percentage, and radical fundies are even tinier.

I get it, and I originally supported the war on Iraq. Partly for those
reasons, although they were, for me, a side benefit on top of getting
rid of the Nuqulure Anthrax Drone Robot Planes or whatever.
We didn't get the NADRPs, and we didn't liberate anyone either -- just
put them in charge of themselves. Bang-up job they've done of managing
their "country" since we, at great sacrifice, killed their dictator
for them.

But when the wall came down (and the Eastern Europeans did that all by

went right to work building a somewhat workable gummint. The Iraqis
put freaking CLERICS in charge. Clerics, ferpetesake! The worst thing
ever to happen to human progress -- and they put those guys in charge.
And then set to killing people that followed different clerics.

Those people used to have a secular, somewhat successful (by ME
standards) society. Apparently in about fifteen years they forgot how
to do it. What, they lost all the books, their Internet's down?
Fuckem.
Although, I agree with you -- doing it on the cheap was dumber than
doing it right in the first place.

So McVeigh's motivations were? or weren't? the same as Major Hasan's?
It matters.

Aaaah. So you're okay with Christian terrism then. Even going so far
as to ludicrously attempt to label it something else.
"Mercy killing"?
That's pretty low, dude. I mean it. That's worse than all your "you
need your ears ripped off/teeth smashed/etc etc". Truly.. vile.

What the Quran says about Jihad
The Muslims are commanded to wage an everlasting war against the
unbelievers and are assured victory in the struggle. Surely, the Marxist
social philosophy is an extension of the Koranic doctrine. To realize
the significance of this statement, one ought to read the following:
1. On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. (The Cow: 161 )
2. Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. ( The Cow: 15 )
3. The worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the ungrateful, who will not
believe. (Spoils of War: 55)
4. Oh ye who believe! the non-Muslims are unclean. (Repentance:17)
5. Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find
harshness in you. (Repentance: 123)
6. Oh believers, do not treat your fathers and mothers as your friends,
if they prefer unbelief to belief, whosoever of you takes them for
friends, they are evil-doers. (Repentance: 20) 7. Humiliate the
non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute. (
Repentance: 29 )
Through the doctrine of hatred, Islam incites Muslims against
non-Muslims and proposes Jehad as the solution to make Islam the
dominant faith. What is Jehad? It is the battle against unbelievers such
as the Hindus, the Christians, the Jews, the atheists - in fact,
unbelievers of all sorts.
Jehad is nothing but an Inducement to Murder and Plunder non-Muslims for
their Sheer Crime of Not Believing in Muhammad
Since humans do not like harming innocent people, Jehad is nothing but
an inducement to murder and plunder non-Muslims for the sheer crime of
not believing in Muhammad. It is called a "holy war." Those who return
home victoriously, come laden with booty, which includes wealth and
non-Muslim women for concubinage and free seduction but those
"crusaders" who are killed "in the way of Allah" go straight to paradise
where ever-young virgins of exquisite beauty and pretty boys anxiously
wait to serve them! Even more stunning is the fact that while every code
of moral conduct treats murder, rape, plunder, lechery as sins, Islam
counts them as acts of piety.
Islamic Jehad is a Perpetual Declaration of War on Non-Muslims
Islam, in fact, is a perpetual declaration of war against all those, who
do not believe in Muhammad. This war is not confined to words but it is
really brutish, barbaric and bewildering. It makes society a hot bed of
mutual hatred based on discrimination of Momin (Muslim) and Kafir
(non-Muslim). Thus, it ignites the flame of eternal conflict far more
dangerous, debilitating and devastating than Karl-Marx could ever
visualize: "They (unbelievers) are Satan's party they are the losers....
Those (the Muslims) are God's party....they are the prosperers." (LVIII
The Disputer: 20)
Islam is basically a medium of Arab Imperialism - Military, Political,
Economic and Cultural
Anwar Shaikh, a scholar of Islam writes the following in his essay
entitled ISLAM - The Arab National Movement, about how and why Islam is
basically a medium of Arab Imperialism - Military, Political, Economic
and Cultural.
In the words of Anwar Shaikh:
"1. The Prophet declared that he was the best individual of all humans;
the Koresh, his tribe were the best of all Arabian tribes and Arabs were
the best of all nations.
2. For this purpose, he used the oldest Semitic device of revelation to
declare himself a prophet, who is supposed to have no axe of his own to
grind but does what he is told by God.
3. As the Jews had a national God called "Yahwe," the Prophet chose
Allah, the Lord of Kaaba, an idol of his own tribe, and raised it to the
dignity of the one supreme God.
4. The Prophet made Kaaba, the sacred shrine of the Arabs as the holiest
place of Islam so that whoever believes in Islam must also acknowledge
the greatness of Arabia and its people.
5. The Prophet Mohammed made Haj, i.e. pilgrimage to the Kaaba, an old
pre-lslamic Arab rite, a basic tenet of his religion to impress upon
foreign (non-Arab) Muslims the sanctity of Arabia, and create an
everlasting source of income for the Arabs.
6. He insisted that God's covenant was not with Abraham and Isaac but
with Abraham and Ishmael. It is universally known that Ishmael was the
direct ancestor of the Arabs. Thus, one can clearly see that the purpose
of Islam is glorification of the Arab nationalism.
7. The Kaaba serves a much greater national purpose of the Arabs than
that which Jerusalem renders to the Jews or Rome to the Christians
(Catholics). It is guardian of the Arab nationalism at the expense of
the national conscience of the non-Arab Muslims who believe that they
have no individual nationality of their own, and prefer to be called
Muslims. Thus the Arabs have achieved the status of a nucleus whereas
the non-Arab Muslims have gladly become their satellites in the hope of
gaining paradise. It ought to be remembered that the Prophet shall not
open the gates of paradise to those Moslems who are not friendly with
the Arabs.
The Prophet said:
a. "May Allah humiliate those who seek to humiliate the Quresh (his
tribe)." Sahih Tirmzi Vol. 2 p.335)
b. The Prophet said to Sulaiman Farsee (the Persian Convert), "If you
bear odium against the Arabs, you bear odium against me." (Sahih Tirmzi
Vol.2. p.840)
c. The Prophet said: "I will not intercede for those or love them who
are not fair with the Arabs." (Sahih Tirmzi Vol . 2 p.840 ) Of course,
there is a difference of opinion about the degree of accuracy about
these Hadiths i.e. the Prophet's sayings, yet they are there. If they
were inappropriate they would have been expunged. They are correct
because they correspond with the Arabic ethos of Islam.
8. The Prophet built the structure of Islam around the sanctity of his
own person by declaring himself:
a. the Intercessor, b. the blessing for the mankind, and
c. the model of actions for all faithful.
9. Since Muhammad preferred Arabs to other nations, love of the Arabs
becomes a prerequisite of Islam.
10. Since faith means belief in both Allah and Muhammad, the Islamic God
represents duality as the Christian doctrine of Trinity represents
Three- in-one. Not only Muhammad was an Arab, Allah, the Lord of the
Kaaba, was also an Arab statue. Thus Islam is there to serve the Arab
cause.
11. The Koran is an Arabic document. It is primarily a book for the
understanding and guidance of the Arabs. Calling it a universal message
is just an innovation for subjugating the non-Arab Muslims to the
national hegemony of the Arabs.
Illegitimate Sex Amongst Muslims is Haram, but for a Mujahid Taking Up
Non-Muslim Women as Concubines in a Jehad is Legitimate
Carnal gratification, man's greatest desire, is the first temptation
that the concept of Jihad carries. A Mujahid i.e. the Islamic warrior,
who at that time suffered pangs of sexual starvation in the torrid land
of Arabia, was promised plenty of sensual enjoyment as a reward for
participating in the carnage whether or not he survived the rigors of
the battlefield. If he (a Mujahid - Islamic warrior) got killed, he was
assured that the houris waited for his glorious company in Jannnat i.e.
paradise, and if he survived, he had a share in the plunder, which
included women of the infidels. Islam has prescribed flogging, and
death-by-stoning for sexual offenses such as fornication and adultery
because it holds such acts as unlawful when committed out of wedlock but
when a Muslim "fights in the way of Allah" to murder the infidels and
plunder their property, then the Koran relaxes this rule:
"And anyone of you who has not the affluence to be able to marry
believing free women in wedlock, let him take believing handmaids that
your right hand owns ......So marry them, with their people's leave, and
give them their wages honorably as women in wedlock, not as in license
or taking lovers." (Women, IV: 25) These verses demonstrate beyond a
shadow of doubt that amongst Muslims, the Koran forbids sexual
intercourse outside wedlock: marriage is a must for the fulfillment of
sensual desires, but this law is blown off by the wind of change when it
comes to a Mujahid (the Holy warrior):
During the battle of Autas, the Muslims captured some women along with
their husbands. Though earlier, a Muslim had been forbidden sexual
intercourse with an unbelieving married woman, at this occasion, it was
revealed to the Prophet that Allah had relaxed this restriction and
permitted copulation to the warrior if she had fallen to his lot in the
battle and thus became his property. ( TIRMZI, vol. one, P 417 )
In the Islamic Jehad, sex was a big bait to attract followers, and
eventually, make them sincere devotees. After the people of Taif - the
last major Arab City to resist Islam - surrendered in February, 631
C.E., to escape horrors of the siege, Muhammad was presented with three
beautiful women; he gave one of them "to Ali, another to Usman and the
third to Omar." To realize the significance of this episode, one ought
to remember that both Ali and Usman were his sons-in-law and Omar was
his father-in-law.
The holy warriors of Islam have been given an unusual privilege of
sexual merriment. If they survive the battle, they secure concubines but
if they fall, they are sure to enter paradise full of houris (beautiful
maidens to be turned into concubines), living in the most luxurious
environment.
" For them (the Muslims) is reserved a definite provision, fruit and a
great honor in the Gardens of bliss reclining upon couches arranged face
to face, a cup from a fountain being passed round to them, while, a
pleasure to the drinkers ..... and with them wide eyed maidens flexing
their glances as if they were slightly concealed pearls. (The Rangers,
40-45)
"Surely for the God-fearing awaits a place of security gardens and
vineyards and maidens with swelling bosoms." (The Tidings: 30)
The houris are ever-young women who have wide eyes, flexing glances and
swelling bosoms. Fancy the modesty of Allah and holiness of His manners.
Can anyone honestly say that it is not a lure to attract followers?
The Motivation for Plunder, Loot and Booty in the Koran
The Koran also legitimizes booty and loot secured from non-Muslims
during a religious war - Jehad:
"Eat of what you have taken as booty, such is lawful and good. " (The
Spoils, VIII: 70)
To make his followers, the merciless looters, he thoroughly drilled them
in hatred of non-Muslims, the potential victims:
1. "Surely the worst of beasts in God's sight are the unbelievers." (The
Spoils: VIII: 55)
2. " Certainly, God is an enemy to the unbelievers . " (The Cow: II: 90)
3. "Oh ye who believe! fight those of the unbelievers and let them find
in you harshness." (Repentance: IX: 123)
4. "Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and
pay tribute." ( Repentance IX: 29 )
Since it was plunder that paved the way to spread Islam, even those
things that the Prophet himself had declared sacred, lost their sanctity
when they proved inconvenient. For example, the Koran says:
"Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters (The
non-Muslims) wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them,
and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush" (Repentance, IX: 5)
With this kind of indoctrination what else can one expect from the
followers of this death cult called Islam, except beastly behavior that

The Iraqis do not have clerics in charge. You seem to be confusing
them with Iran, where the clerics were the ones who led the
revolution.
A couple of Shiite groups led by clerics did not accept the new Iraqi
government, and ending the quasi-civil war meant accommodating them a
little, but the religious leaders aren't in the government.
The difference between Iraq and the various eastern European countries
is that the latter for the most part are comprised of a single ethnic
group. Indeed, where they were not a single ethnic group, they
fragmented along ethnic lines, so that we now have the Czech Republic
and Slovakia, and Yugoslavia has split into several pieces (and not
any more peacefully than Iraq when it happened, because unlike
Czechoslovakia, the ethnic groups had overlapping territories - the
same problem that exists in the Baghdad area today).
Most of the Arab countries are tribal by nature, and their natural
social unit is closer to what we would consider small towns in
population, and not nearly big enough for viability as an independent
nation. With a couple of large cities plunked down in the middle.
Trying to get these quasi-independent tribal units to work together at
a national level has generally taken a strong quasi-dictatorial king
or leader, which is why these countries have such leadership, and why
Afghanistan is in near-chaos - the local leadership is far more
powerful than the central government, and they don't have the
infrastructure to bring the pieces together even if they had the know
how.
>Clerics, ferpetesake! The worst thing
>ever to happen to human progress -- and they put those guys in charge.
>And then set to killing people that followed different clerics.
There are two major subgroups of Islam in the country, and one of the
major fault lines is between the two religious groups, but the
difference between them is less intense than the sectionalism between
North and South before 1860. We just don't want to let them go
through the sort of civil war that we had to suffer in order to unite
the country strongly enough above the state level to survive in the
modern world.

They still do. But Iraq suffered enormous infrastructure damage in
the two wars with our country, and rebuilding it takes more time than
they have, and better organization than the national leadership has.
In our civil war, the most advanced infrastructure that had to be
rebuilt were the railroads, and the Union army in the course of the
war developed the expertise to build or repair those in far less time
than they had taken to initially be built (the South's inability to
match the Union in rail building was part of why they lost, but after
the war, the rails were rebuilt in almost no time).
Rebuilding the infrastructure of a modern major city is much more
difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, as we have found with New
Orleans, whose infrastructure wasn't damaged nearly as badly as
Baghdad's (full power was restored to New Orleans within a few weeks -
I'm not sure that Baghdad has reliable 24/7 power even yet after 6
years).
>Apparently in about fifteen years they forgot how to do it.
Governmentally, the people now in charge never knew how. The Shiites
were largely excluded from government above the local level under
Saddam and before him the Iraqi king. It was a secular government,
but one more like the antebellum US, where the South dominated the
Federal government despite having a minority of the population. But
unlike us, Saddam made sure that no one came close to having the
competence to replace him, whereas Northerners here developed machine
politics that provided the political networks to make government work
(and the war forced the necessity of making the national government
work as it never had before, which is why there was a massive shift in
power to the Federal government after the Civil War).
Iraq is still going through that. It took roughly 10 years for
Reconstruction to bring the South back. It took more than 5 years and
truly enormous sums of money, not to mention large armies filling in
for missing governments, in order to bring western Europe back to
pre-war levels (and a couple decades in the East - arguably, much of
the Warsaw pact was still recovering when the Iron Curtain came down).
GDP has started to increase in the last couple of years.
http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?v=67&c=iz&l=en
Equally important to long term stability, Iraq's unemployment rate has
dropped from 25% to around 18-19%, which is about equivalent to the
worst of our Depression (even we'd probably have a civil war if
unemployment reached 25% here). And their total labor force has
increased by 75% since 2000, so dropping the unemployment rate is
non-trivial.
http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?v=72&c=iz&l=en
As to the future - well Slovakia had 18% unemployment in 2000, and it
is now down to 8%.
http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?v=74&c=lo&l=en
and their GDP per capita doubled in 8 years
http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?v=67&c=lo&l=en
but that did take 8 years. America these days doesn't have the
patience to wait 8 years, which is a double presidential term - heck,
a lot of people seem to have given up on Obama because he didn't
fulfill most of his campaign promises in less than *one* year.
>What, they lost all the books, their Internet's down?
Their Internet never was up 15 years ago. I remember in the first
Gulf War, Peter Arnett had to set up a portable satellite dish to
report in, and he was the only reporter who managed to keep
broadcasting because only CNN had the international infrastructure to
manage it.
As for books, their literacy rate has increased since pre-war years
(though I doubt that it really dropped 20% during the war, as the
chart shows).
http://www.indexmundi.com/g/g.aspx?v=39&c=iz&l=en
Of course, that is not the normal situation with child suicide bombers
(I won't say that it never happened, unlike you, but that source I

suicide bomber).

http://myrightword.blogspot.com/2008/11/statistics-of-suicide-bombers.html
(over 8 years):
<Fatah had the most fatalities, with a total of 1,437 terrorists, 128
< of them children, killed since September 28, 2000. Hamas was in
< second place with 1,410 killed in the same time period, 96 of them
< minors. Fifty-three children were killed while taking part in Islamic

The Palestinian authority population is around 4 million,

and close to half are under 15 (and they are considered children until
they are 18)
http://www.pij.org/details.php?id=355
So under 300 children killed in 8 years out of more than 2 million.
I rather suspect that we lost more than that in WWI and WWII, merely
from underage kids joining the military by lying about their age (of
course our population is larger), and MANY times that many in the
Civil War, where teenagers commonly fought, especially for the South
which was drafting 17 year olds in the last year of the war, and
accepted kids as young as 11 as volunteer soldiers (and drummer boys
were as young as 8).

But what does it mean to "support" it? No more than you "supporting"
Tiller's murderer in recent posts. That does not mean that 15-20% of
Muslims are willing to become suicide bomber terrorists themselves,
much less volunteer their children to become suicide bomber
terrorists.
If even 1% were willing to do so, Israel would be in chaos merely from
the Palestinians. And the rest of the world: 1% of Muslim children in
this country would be several thousand suicide bombers, and yet there
hasn't been a single one here "strapped into a suicide vest".

The innocent didn't volunteer to pay that cost. And I suspect that
most of them would have preferred to keep Saddam rather than die in
our liberation efforts. Otherwise, they would have eliminated him
themselves.

Most of us DON'T think it is OK to kill innocents. If Bush had told
us that eliminating Saddam might lead to 100,000 innocents being
killed, we wouldn't have come close to going to war. (The big
question in judging Bush's decision is whether HE understood that many
might die from his invasion).

For us, initially, stopping the Germans from attacking us. Eventually,
when we formed the Allies with Britain, France, and the USSR among
others, we came to share their goals, which basically meant restoring
Germany to a non-militarized state within its original boundaries.

That is easy. We were. The Soviet Army started their advance back at
Stalingrad at the end of 1942. About 1000 miles to Warsaw, and almost
1400 miles to Berlin.
We started our advance from England, 500 miles to Berlin, 800 miles
to Warsaw.

Precisely why your claim has been nonsense all along. We fought the
war for reasons that most certainly did not include something that we
didn't know existed. Your claim that we fought the war to liberate
death camps necessarily means that when we entered the war, we did so
with knowledge of them, and that this knowledge was part of the

YOU VILE PIECE OF SHIT!
Your endless squirming, merging of unrelated subject items and outright
misrepresentation is over!
One might be led to think that if international law enforcement
authorities and Western intelligence agencies had discovered a
twenty-year old document revealing a top-secret plan developed by the
oldest Islamist organization with one of the most extensive terror
networks in the world to launch a program of �cultural invasion� and
eventual conquest of the West that virtually mirrors the tactics used by
Islamists for more than two decades, that such news would scream from
headlines published on the front pages and above the fold of the New
York Times, Washington Post, London Times, Le Monde, Bild, and La
Repubblica.
If that�s what you might think, you would be wrong.
In fact, such a document was recovered in a raid by Swiss authorities in
November 2001, two months after the horror of 9/11. Since that time
information about this document, known in counterterrorism circles as
�The Project�, and discussion regarding its content has been limited to
the top-secret world of Western intelligence communities. Only through
the work of an intrepid Swiss journalist, Sylvain Besson of Le Temps,
and his book published in October 2005 in France, La conqu�te de
l'Occident: Le projet secret des Islamistes (The Conquest of the West:
The Islamists' Secret Project), has information regarding The Project
finally been made public. One Western official cited by Besson has
described The Project as �a totalitarian ideology of infiltration which
represents, in the end, the greatest danger for European societies.�
Now FrontPage readers will be the first to be able to read the complete
English translation of The Project.
What Western intelligence authorities know about The Project begins with
the raid of a luxurious villa in Campione, Switzerland on November 7,
2001. The target of the raid was Youssef Nada, director of the Al-Taqwa
Bank of Lugano, who has had active association with the Muslim
Brotherhood for more than 50 years and who admitted to being one of the
organization�s international leaders. The Muslim Brotherhood, regarded
as the oldest and one of the most important Islamist movements in the
world, was founded by Hasan al-Banna in 1928 and dedicated to the credo,
�Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur�an is our law.
Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.�
The raid was conducted by Swiss law enforcement at the request of the
White House in the initial crackdown on terrorist finances in the
immediate aftermath of 9/11. US and Swiss investigators had been looking
at Al-Taqwa�s involvement in money laundering and funding a wide range
of Islamic terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda, HAMAS (the Palestinian
affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood), the Algerian GIA, and the Tunisian
Ennahdah.
Included in the documents seized during the raid of Nada�s Swiss villa
was a 14-page plan written in Arabic and dated December 1, 1982, which
outlines a 12-point strategy to �establish an Islamic government on
earth� � identified as The Project. According to testimony given to
Swiss authorities by Nada, the unsigned document was prepared by
�Islamic researchers� associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
What makes The Project so different from the standard �Death of America!
Death to Israel!� and �Establish the global caliphate!� Islamist
rhetoric is that it represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term
approach to the �cultural invasion� of the West. Calling for the
utilization of various tactics, ranging from immigration, infiltration,
surveillance, propaganda, protest, deception, political legitimacy and
terrorism, The Project has served for more than two decades as the
Muslim Brotherhood �master plan�. As can be seen in a number of examples
throughout Europe � including the political recognition of parallel
Islamist government organizations in Sweden, the recent �cartoon� jihad
in Denmark, the Parisian car-burning intifada last November, and the 7/7
terrorist attacks in London � the plan outlined in The Project has been
overwhelmingly successful.
Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of group action, as
is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect postmodern fashion the use of
terror falls into a multiplicity of options available to progressively
infiltrate, confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination over
the West. The following tactics and techniques are among the many
recommendations made in The Project:
�Networking and coordinating actions between likeminded Islamist
organizations;
�Avoiding open alliances with known terrorist organizations and
individuals to maintain the appearance of �moderation�;
�Infiltrating and taking over existing Muslim organizations to realign
them towards the Muslim Brotherhood�s collective goals;
�Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long
as it doesn�t conflict with shari�a law;
�Avoiding social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or
globally, that might damage the long-term ability to expand the Islamist
powerbase in the West or provoke a lash back against Muslims;
�Establishing financial networks to fund the work of conversion of the
West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers;
�Conducting surveillance, obtaining data, and establishing collection
and data storage capabilities;
�Putting into place a watchdog system for monitoring Western media to
warn Muslims of �international plots fomented against them�;
�Cultivating an Islamist intellectual community, including the
establishment of think-tanks and advocacy groups, and publishing
�academic� studies, to legitimize Islamist positions and to chronicle
the history of Islamist movements;
�Developing a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance Islamist ideology
throughout the world;
�Balancing international objectives with local flexibility;
�Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable
organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals so that contact with the
movement for Muslims in the West is constant;
�Involving ideologically committed Muslims in democratically-elected
institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs,
private organizations and labor unions;
�Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until they can be
converted and put into service of Islam;
�Drafting Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for eventual
implementation;
�Avoiding conflict within the Islamist movements on all levels,
including the development of processes for conflict resolution;
�Instituting alliances with Western �progressive� organizations that
share similar goals;
�Creating autonomous �security forces� to protect Muslims in the West;
�Inflaming violence and keeping Muslims living in the West �in a jihad
frame of mind�;
�Supporting jihad movements across the Muslim world through preaching,
propaganda, personnel, funding, and technical and operational support;
�Making the Palestinian cause a global wedge issue for Muslims;
�Adopting the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and the creation
of an Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for global Islamic
domination;
�Instigating a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims against
Jews and rejecting any discussions of conciliation or coexistence with
them;
�Actively creating jihad terror cells within Palestine;
�Linking the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global terror
movement;
�Collecting sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and support
jihad around the world;
In reading The Project, it should be kept in mind that it was drafted in
1982 when current tensions and terrorist activities in the Middle East
were still very nascent. In many respects, The Project is extremely
prescient for outlining the bulk of Islamist action, whether by
�moderate� Islamist organizations or outright terror groups, over the
past two decades.
At present, most of what is publicly known about The Project is the
result of Sylvain Besson�s investigative work, including his book and a
related article published last October in the Swiss daily, Le Temps,
L'islamisme � la conqu�te du monde (Islamism and the Conquest of the
World), profiling his book, which is only available in a French-language
edition. At least one Egyptian newspaper, Al-Mussawar, published the
entire Arabic text of The Project last November.
In the English-language press, the attention paid to Besson�s revelation
of The Project has been almost non-existent. The only mention found in a
mainstream media publication in the US has been as a secondary item in
an article in the Weekly Standard (February 20, 2006) by Olivier Guitta,
The Cartoon Jihad. The most extensive commentary on The Project has been
by an American researcher and journalist living in London, Scott
Burgess, who has posted his analysis of the document on his blog, The
Daily Ablution. Along with his commentary, an English translation of the
French text of The Project was serialized in December (Parts I, II, III,
IV, V, Conclusion). The complete English translation prepared by Mr.
Burgess is presented in its entirety here with his permission.
The lack of public discussion about The Project notwithstanding, the
document and the plan it outlines has been the subject of considerable
discussion amongst the Western intelligence agencies. One US
counterterrorism official who spoke with Besson about The Project, and
who is cited in Guitta�s Weekly Standard article, is current White House
terrorism czar, Juan Zarate. Calling The Project a Muslim Brotherhood
master plan for �spreading their political ideology,� Zarate expressed
concerns to Besson because �the Muslim Brotherhood is a group that
worries us not because it deals with philosophical or ideological ideas
but because it defends the use of violence against civilians.�
One renowned international scholar of Islamist movements who also spoke
with Besson, Reuven Paz, talked about The Project in its historical context:
The Project was part of the charter of the international organization of
the Muslim Brotherhood, which was official established on July 29, 1982.
It reflects a vast plan which was revived in the 1960s, with the
immigration of Brotherhood intellectuals, principally Syrian and
Egyptians, into Europe.
As Paz notes, The Project was drafted by the Muslim Brotherhood as part
of its rechartering process in 1982, a time that marks an upswing in its
organizational expansion internationally, as well as a turning point in
the alternating periods of repression and toleration by the Egyptian
government. In 1952, the organization played a critical support role to
the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdul Nasser, which overthrew
King Faruq, but quickly fell out of favor with the new revolutionary
regime because of Nasser�s refusal to follow the Muslim Brotherhood�s
call to institute an ideologically committed Islamic state. At various
times since the July Revolution in 1952, the Brotherhood has regularly
been banned and its leaders killed and imprisoned by Egyptian authorities.
Since it was rechartered in 1982, the Muslim Brotherhood has spread its
network across the Middle East, Europe, and even America. At home in
Egypt, parliamentary elections in 2005 saw the Muslim Brotherhood
winning 20 percent of the available legislative seats, comprising the
largest opposition party block. Its Palestinian affiliate, known to the
world as HAMAS, recently gained control of the Palestinian Authority
after elections secured for them 74 of 132 seats in the Palestinian
Legislative Council. Its Syrian branch has historically been the largest
organized group opposing the Assad regime, and the organization also has
affiliates in Jordan, Sudan, and Iraq. In the US, the Muslim Brotherhood
is primarily represented by the Muslim American Society (MAS).
Since its formation, the Muslim Brotherhood has advocated the use of
terrorism as a means of advancing its agenda of global Islamic
domination. But as the largest popular radical movement in the Islamic
world, it has attracted many leading Islamist intellectuals. Included
among this group of Muslim Brotherhood intellectuals is Youssef
Qaradawi, an Egyptian-born, Qatar-based Islamist cleric.
As one of the leading Muslim Brotherhood spiritual figures and radical
Islamic preachers (who has his own weekly program on Al-Jazeera),
Qaradawi has been one of the leading apologists of suicide bombings in
Israel and terrorism against Western interests in the Middle East. Both
Sylvain Besson and Scott Burgess provide extensive comparisons between
Qaradawi�s publication, Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming
Phase, published in 1990, and The Project, which predates Qaradawi�s
Priorities by eight years. They note the striking similarities in the
language used and the plans and methods both documents advocate. It is
speculated that The Project was either used by Qaradawi as a template
for his own work, or that he had a hand in its drafting in 1982. Perhaps
coincidentally, Qaradawi was the fourth largest shareholder in the
Al-Taqwa Bank of Lugano, the director of which, Youssef Nada, was the
individual in whose possession The Project was found. Since 1999,
Qaradawi has been banned from entering the US as a result of his
connections to terrorist organizations and his outspoken advocacy of
terrorism.
For those who have read The Project, what is most troubling is not that
Islamists have developed a plan for global dominance; it has been
assumed by experts that Islamist organizations and terrorist groups have
been operating off an agreed-upon set of general principles, networks
and methodology. What is startling is how effectively the Islamist plan
for conquest outlined in The Project has been implemented by Muslims in
the West for more than two decades. Equally troubling is the ideology
that lies behind the plan: inciting hatred and violence against Jewish
populations around the world; the deliberate co-opting and subversion of
Western public and private institutions; its recommendation of a policy
of deliberate escalating confrontation by Muslims living in the West
against their neighbors and fellow-citizens; the acceptance of terrorism
as a legitimate option for achieving their ends and the inevitable
reality of jihad against non-Muslims; and its ultimate goal of forcibly
instituting the Islamic rule of the caliphate by shari�a in the West,
and eventually the whole world.

Sure -- and I remember Biden saying we should just partition them. And
he was right. Except that the oil is only in, what is it, the middle
of the country, and everyone wants their share of the oil revenues..
anyway, why should WE be the ones that have to partition them? They
should be able to handle that on their own.

I'm not sure that, after their utter failure to step up to Grownup

Okay, fair enough. But these are supposed to be people with the
benefits of centuries of history. The blood of Hammurabi is sposed to
flow in their veins, etc etc. It boggles how they can be just so
incredibly BAD at everything. And how much did we spend on this
project? And when are we done spending it? And weren't they supposed
to finance it themselves with oil money? When do they start paying us
back (they're on schedule to do that, of course, right? What? They
haven't offered?)?
I'm just filled with disgust for the whole botched operation.

I'll give you that, too. It seems to me that this is the 21st century,
though, and they know what they need to do. They need to dime off
their terrists, fire their clerics, form a secular society, ditch the
burqas, pump some oil, get some cash, and start producing things
people want to buy. But they won't do it.

A bomb is a point weapon. The Sadrists were widely scattered. Bombing
wouldn't have mattered much, and we'd have killed more innocents than
those whom we were targeting.
>They still have entirely too much power.
For whom? The history of Iraq has long been one of "private" armies
fielded by families, tribes and clans. Those, in turn, have oftimes
banded together to form sectarian groups, mostly Shia/Sunni but there
are some other offshoots of each of those as well.
When Muqtada ordered his groups to voluntarily stand down, just prior
to The Surge, that was a pretty smart play. He wandered off for some
continuing education in order to become a higher-ranked mullah,
perhaps even someday an ayatollah.
These people, unlike Westerners, don't think in terms of a few weeks
or months. They think in terms of generations and decades.
We are going to leave Iraq. When, not if, we do, there will be the
inevitable power struggle later. It's not as though we can or will
stop it, prevent it from happening. More importantly, there's no
particular reason why we should spend Murken lives and Chinese money
to do it.
We have no dog in that hunt. Never have had.
>Sure -- and I remember Biden saying we should just partition them. And

No -- We ought not to do that. We ought to let Them do that on their

East and North -- the Shia area in the SE and the Kurdish area in the
NE.
>anyway, why should WE be the ones that have to partition them? They

Precisely! It's gonna happen regardless of what we do. It's been 90
years waiting to happen, and it will.
When, not if, it does, it won't be the US who will be wielding either
military Or economic influence there. Check on who the Iraqis sold
the awl rights to, just last week. Clue: It wasn't US firms.
>Thus, not a people worthy of our sacrifice to bring them Democracy.
That was always just eyewash -- fodder for a political campaign back
in CONUS, and supposedly linked to the War On Terrism.
>Let them huddle in their wreckage. Maybe they'll be lucky enough to

Without the UN sanctions, and with the Russians and Chinese owning the
awl rights, something will be worked out. We'd be fools to be in that
furball.

Since the awl fields are going to be controlled by other nations, and

Iraqis are neither ignorant nor cowardly, within the last century. But
like most in the Middle East, they don't much take kindly to being
occuped by Westerners.
>...But these are supposed to be people with the

They aren't bad at everything. They just don't control everything. We
do. We are the ones who, from the fall of Saddam, have demonstrated a
certain incompetence at dealing with them.
But once again, beware the temptation to lump them all together in one
group. There is no Iraqi Nation and there are no genuine Iraquis who
feel a primary allegiance to that cartographic fiction imposed on them
in 1919 by the West.
> And how much did we spend on this project?
Dollars -- half a trillion and counting, by the most conservative
estimates.
Lives -- 4,000+ and counting.
Wounded/Maimed -- upwards of 10,000.
>And when are we done spending it?
As I've said all along, we're the best source of ready cash (literally
by the ton on pallets) in town.
>And weren't they supposed to finance it themselves with oil money?
That's what Cheney always said. Why anyone believed it is, well,
sorta strange too! And as it's turned out, they sold the awl to
someone else from somewhere else.
They are Not about to pay us back for the effort either.

Why not? We have a bunch of fools in This nation who believe we ought

make little real sense as laws.
This is what happens when Organized Superstition gets large enough
actually to control a government and enforce all that silly
superstitious drivel.
There's a lesson there.

It was tried once before, by the British which is why we ended up with
Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. Lines
imposed by outsiders don't work. And in this case, we had our ally
Turkey opposed, because they don't want the Kurds to be autonomous,
because they will try to partition off SE Turkey as well.
>anyway, why should WE be the ones that have to partition them? They
>should be able to handle that on their own.
The Kurds want a partition. The rest of the country doesn't. But the
Shiites want the power due them as the majority, and the Sunni Arabs
fear the power of the Shiites using their majority, and the secularist
Baaths (who are mostly Sunni in ethnicity) resent the loss of power
and economic clout they suffered in the overthrow of Saddam. It
actually isn't all that unlike what happened between the North and the
South in 1861, though the demographics are different and there are
three or four groups instead of two.

Ancient history. But the skills needed are those of modernity.

>The blood of Hammurabi is sposed to flow in their veins, etc etc.
Actually, I think we don't know that. The peoples of the region were
largely migratory, and they suffered several "invasions" from the
north and east - Persians and Turks, etc, not to mention the Greeks
and Romans from the West. And the Arabs swept north after Mohammed,
so I am not sure whether the people of Hammurabi are necessarily those
who inhabited the region.
>It boggles how they can be just so incredibly BAD at everything.
They aren't.
>And how much did we spend on this project?
On rebuilding the country, not all that much. We kept trying to get
them to pay for the rebuilding out of their oil revenues, when they
did not have the governmental structure needed to make decisions about
how to spend those revenues.

No. They are corrupt conceptually.
You can ask a stupid question in a stupid way a million times, and it
won't get you any sort of useful answer.

Just as useful as your silly poll list. More useful, in fact, since
it characterizes the poster as a nutcase extremist not fit to be
listened to (of course, your foul mouthed ranting and insults already
succeed in that, so it isn't all that necessary).

Obviously they don't agree as to who is trying to "liberate" what.

I agree, as modified.

I agree as modified.
A goodly number of Muslims think that George W Bush did so, especially
since he stupidly used that very word to describe what he intended.
"This is a new kind of, a new kind of evil. And the American people
are beginning to understand. This crusade, this war on terrorism, is
going to take a while. And American people must be patient."

Your blithering denials are beyond ludicrous.

The questions asked were neither stupid nor stupidly asked.
You have reduced yourself to a laughing stock again.

Inherent factionalism renders that a moot point.

So the polls I cited do have merit after all, thank you.

Any decent and patriotic American is wholly in favor of a crusade
against terrorism.
You have shown yourself as the vile un-patriotic scumbag we all know you
to be.

Oh, no don't get me wrong. This has nothing to do with what I want
them to do. It's just what they need to do to be a successful nation
with a decent standard of living. I don't care if they want to live
like the ignorant, cowardly savages they seem to want to be.
If they're gonna do that though, the more .. advanced .. peoples of
the world should safeguard their oil. Right? Because who wants to
trust, say, Iraqis with the kind of money oil brings in? All they'll
do with it is buy weapons they're not to be trusted with.

Which is why I send money to the ACLU and United for Separation of
Church and State or whatever that's called -- Barry Lynn's group.
Iraqis don't have the ability to do that of course, because they don't
have an ICLU or whatever. And they're afraid to form one.

But we could have dropped a bomb on Sadr hisself.

You still can't quite bring yourself to see that They don't wish to
live as you do. They don't see the tradeoff to a Western standard of
living being worth what they'd have to give up to get to it.

Nope. It's theirs, by the luck of the draw. The rest of the world
has no claim on their resources. And to be frank, leaving it in the
ground is a pretty smart play, on their part.

The WingNuts in this nation are afraid of having one. Flip side of
the coin.
But it's Their nation, not ours. That, at the core, is the important
matter in the discussion. We won't change them. In fact, trying to
do so may well be counterproductive.
There are outcomes to all of that. Sadr was able to stand down his
militia. No one else could have.
So far as we're concerned, we're pleased he did so. The Surge had a
much easier time because he did. And he had an easier time doing it.
The inevitable was postponed. That's good.
But they want to have at each other. The only question is When.
So, let them.
