Al-Qa'ida Website Issues Ramadan Warning of Imminent Attacks: Calls on Muslims in DC, NY, and LA to Leave Those Cities A communiqué issued by the previously unknown "Islamic Bayan Movement" warns Muslims that they should leave Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles. The warning initially appeared on the website of Global Islamic Media, at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globalislamicmedia/message/173. The same website has, in recent months, published many communiqués by Jihad groups around the world, as well as Islamic ideological material. The communiqué has since appeared on the Al-Qa'ida affiliated website Al-Faroq. [1] The communiqué was signed on the fifth of Ramadan, but was published on November 3, 2003, under the title "A Warning to the Muslims in America." It opened with a Koranic verse: "All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifies Allah. He is the Mighty, the Wise. It is He who turned out the disbelievers from among the People of the Book from their homes at the time of the first banishment. You did not think that they would go forth and they thought that their fortresses would protect them against Allah. But Allah came upon them whence they did not expect and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their homes with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O ye who posses understanding." The following are excerpts from the communiqué: "The sufferings of your Muslim brothers and of the Mujahideen around the world is no secret to you, our brothers. [They suffer] oppression, tyranny, imprisonment, murder, and banishment by the masters of oppressions and lies in the world, the American rulers, who think [of] themselves as good-doers. Allah is the witness that they write the end of America by their own hands… "Afghanistan and Iraq are not far away. Their sons there [i.e. U.S. soldiers] are frustrated and defeated and they ask 'why are we here?' Yes, they are the only ones who know the bitter truth. How would they not when they see every day dozens of casualties from among their friends, the soldiers who die and nobody, even not their stupid rulers, is sorry for them. Then they hear the lies and distortion their rulers [tell] their people and the peoples of the world regarding the number of their dead and heavy losses… "Our Muslim brothers in America, we ask you to immediately leave the following cities: Washington, DC, New York, and Los Angeles. We are serious in our warning. The next few days will prove to you the truth of this warning… To the oppressive rulers of America we say: expect our terms following the first strike of Allah’s believing soldiers" [Koran, Chapter 59, Verse 2-3] The communiqué ends with another Koranic verse: "Fight them: Allah will punish them at your hands, and will humiliate them, and will help you to overcome them, and will relieve the minds of the believers."[Koran, Chapter 9, Verse 14] [Signed] The Islamic Bayan Movement 5th of Ramadan, 1424 The Al-Qa'ida affiliated website also posted a photograph of a Chinook helicopter along with the following caption: "We shall bring down and destroy the values of the Hubal [2] of this generation" Logo from Al-Faroq [1] http://www.pcpages.com/faroq/ [2] Hubal was an ancient Meccan idol from the pre-Islamic era, and is used by Islamists to symbolize the U.S.

You know, I may be seeing things through a red, white, and blue haze, but my interpretation of the First Amendment doesn't seem to cover any postings - from a known anti-West, murderous group of heathens - threatening to blow away thousands more Americans right in their homes. Sounds like it's time kick some swarthy @ss and take some hard-to-pronounce names.

Al-Qa'ida Warning of Imminent Attacks: Calls on Muslims in DC, NY, and LA to Leave Those Cities

Al-Quida's last real weapon of mass destruction:
Spreading Islam to small-town USA in order to screw up the rest of the USA.

Trust me, Al-Quida might hit San Diego because of all the Navy/Marine personnel
and assets...but they will NEVER hit the greater Los Angeles area.

Imagine Osama (or fellow leaders) trying to explain that they've blown up Disneyland
to four wives and Allah-Only-Knows how many children.

They don't want to blow up something their kids would kill to visit.

Hello ***,

Al-Qaeda is back on your networks.  Two sites in gameroom and pcpages.  The gameroom site is posting bomb plans.

         http://www.gameroom.com/abualbukhary/jehad/

The pcpages site has just made international news.   They are updating their site now (last upload was a few minutes ago):

http://www.pcpages.com/faroq/html/?M=D

Would be nice to trace where they are uploading from!

I find this especially disgusting:

http://www.pcpages.com/faroq/html/Heros.htm

Note this -- these jpegs appear to be the 9-11 hijackers planning the WTC attack, with photos of them laying out the maps of the Washington Pentagon and NYC.

Here's a suggestion, perhaps instead of a simple '404' if they were instead greated with a huge JPEG of an American flag and a "God bless President Bush" they might take a hint and go away permanently :-)  

regards,
-- Johnathan R. Galt.

[abner]

So what do you think Mr. Galt?

[Sabertooth]

Al-Qaeda is back on your networks.

And elsewhere...

Al-Qaeda 'targeting Muslim holy month of Ramadan' (says Saudi Prince Nayef)
			Posted by Sabertooth On 11/04/2003 6:14 PM PST with 9 comments The Scotsman ^ | November 5th, 2003 | Foreign Staff PRINCE Nayef, the Saudi Arabia interior minister, said yesterday his country had thwarted a terror attack on pilgrims in the holy city of Mecca by militants believed to be linked to Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda terror network. "These people are targeting the [holy Muslim] month of Ramadan," he told the leading Saudi ne wspaper, al-Riyadh. "They wanted to make the entire country a place for terror without any exception and even in the holiest place on Earth, where Saudis and non-Saudis come to pray to God." The minister was referring to a shoot-out in Mecca on Monday...

Good work getting those pages down.

Bring it on a$$holes. I got some SS-109 presents for you.

[JohnathanRGalt]

So what do you think Mr. Galt?

Well, I would've loved to see faroq replaced with a huge JPEG of an American flag, or get to see their server logs to find out where they're uploading from.

But, a big, fat, 404 Error puts a smile on my face.

[Happy2BMe]

MEGA-BUMP terrorist alert ping!

I just have one series question here, can somebody please email me if the Muslims start bailing en masse from Detroit, Jersey, N.Y.C., Dallas, etc.

[austinTparty]

Ping.

[NYC GOP Chick]

A communiqué issued by the previously unknown "Islamic Bayan Movement" warns Muslims that they should leave Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles.

Might not be such a bad idea, at least for the America-haters and Jew-haters.

Heh, heh...

What do you think of this recent spate of warnings? Is there more activity in the circles you frequent? Or is all this stuff in the last day or two a bunch of fluff???

Given our border situation, not losing a city will be a miracle.

[Grampa Dave]

Good job, maybe the picture below and a couple of GW on the Aircraft Carrier would be nice replacements for these Jihad sites.

That picture might just drive these Jihadists into suicidal runs like some Islamokazis did against our tanks in Baghdad this spring.

[tubavil]

Bump!

Yes, I raised that issue with some news media people I'm in contact with. They confirm the pictures were apparently taken from an already released al-Qaeda propaganda video from last year. The videos and JPEGs posted were new but were a montage of recycled old stuff. -- I couldn't get them interested because "old news is no news". For example, Mohammed Atta (they actually used the most common FBI photo released after Sept. 11th) was framed with clouds and laid out in the manner of the Palestinian suicide bomber pictures you see posted every day.

I suspect the videos of the person pointing to the Pentagon on the FAA flight path maps were staged after the fact for propaganda / recruitment purposes.

But, if you really want to see it, don't worry, they'll have it back up soon at another site. I'll ping you then.

[JohnathanRGalt]

What do you think of this recent spate of warnings? Is there more activity in the circles you frequent? Or is all this stuff in the last day or two a bunch of fluff???

Looking back over the past two years, I saw serious warnings last May and February. Nothing happened then.

Ask me the same question in about three weeks after Ramadan is over.

[judicial meanz]

I've read the threads you have posted to lately Sabertooth, and you have been doing some incredible work in the last few months.

They tie a lot of things together. The Mahdi issue, Ramadan's with 2 eclipses, terrorist warnings to Muslims to leave specific cities, bombmaking instructions, email and message traffic from sympathizers, and the recent increase in terrorist attacks overseas. I really think you hit on something big here, and it is proving to be right on the money.

I'm not going to live my life in fear of these stone age jerks, but I will take some simple precautions for my family during this period.

You have shown us all something valuable here. Using the web is an excellent way to gain ELINT on terrorist ops and keep us informed of their actions in real time if you take the time and do some homework.


As for their "terms to be issued after the attacks", this American says they can go straight to H*LL before I surrender to the likes of them.

Congrats

... can somebody please email me if the Muslims start bailing en masse from Detroit, Jersey, N.Y.C., Dallas, etc.

Wow ! Yeah, me too ! Amazing.

This source, Memri. I've seen some of their stuff posted on FR on a few occasions. Are they a credible source ?? Or are they of the Al-Jazeera type ??

Not being sarcastic. I just wanna know if this is a real and present danger or just so much hot air ...

[Yehuda]

ok, didn't realize they were montages. But ping me anyway if you see them again. May be I can pshop them...(!)

[Happy2BMe]

"This source, Memri. I've seen some of their stuff posted on FR on a few occasions. Are they a credible source ?? Or are they of the Al-Jazeera type ?? "

Well Meek, MEMRI certainly considers THEMSELVES to be reliable.

Consider the source(s) of a significant portion of this type of reporting: Al Qaeda, Bin Ladin, Islamic leaders, Islamic terrorits, haters of America, haters of Israel, haters of . .

Very close to our top three (CBS, ABC, NBC) in every category.

Reliable? Have you seen a bunch of Muslims heading across the Texas border this morning?

[Quilla]

Thank you sir!

[Nix 2]

Addendum to note.
Also, please make sure that you take the entire Demostinian Party with you so that we can vaporize the lot of you at once. A stitch in time....saves America AND Israel.

DooDahhhh,
You probably know already, but the Islamists have formed dozens of small cells in Herndon, VA, major Net hub as well as places where there are many, many people and rural areas where there are very few people. Fear is their weapon of choice. Courage is ours. They think they know us, but not so. They know Carter/Clinton. Not exactly a representative sample of American courage. If they haven't learned yet, they will.
This is a battle that will eventually have to be fought because they are antlike...and build their anthills everywhere the sweetness of America is.
I've been waiting for the *peaceful* ones to volunteer as human shields. Must have been one of those momentary lapses of reason.
Have had personal experience with these murdering bast*rds. I would not hesitate to send them to Lallah forthwith.

[Quilla]

This is one of the pictures from DaleelAl-Mojahid's Yahoo Message Board. Odd that a desert dweller would be pictured with a scuba diver. I can't help but think about the recent seaport warnings.

[John O]

To the oppressive rulers of America we say: expect our terms following the first strike of Allah’s believing soldiers"

To islam: don't bother buying night lights any where within 100 miles of mecca, medina or any muslem capital. You won't need them.

[jonalvy44]

If that's all it takes, can't we say that all of the USA is under threat and call for all Muslims to leave AMERICA?

[jonalvy44]

LMAO
