Responding to the publishing of cartoons depicting Islam's prophet Muhammad, a video posted on the Internet by an al-Qaida member calls on Muslims to attack Denmark, France and Norway.
"Muslims avenge your prophet," said Libyan Muhammad Hassan, who escaped from U.S. custody in Afghanistan last July.
"We deeply desire that the small state of Denmark, Norway and France ... are struck hard and destroyed," he declared, according to Agence France-Presse.
Earlier this year, 12 cartoons depicting Muhammad published in Denmark's Jyllands-Posten newspaper became an international controversy, prompting the torching of embassies, slaughter of Christians and fatwas issued against those responsible.
In the 35-minute video, Hassan, dressed in military fatigues, is holding an assault rifle.
"Destroy their buildings, make their ground shake and transform them into a sea of blood," said Hassan, also known as Sheikh Abu Yahia al-Libi.
Hassan was one of four Arab terror suspects who broke out of the U.S.'s high-security detention facility at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, in his most recent audio communiqué, aired on Al-Jazeera late last month, called for a global Muslim boycott of American goods similar to the recent boycott of Danish products. He also said the artists who drew the offending cartoons should be handed over to him for trial and punishment.
As Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin reported, a dozen young terrorists have departed Afghanistan, bound first for Iran and then Europe, where their mission will be to hunt down the Danish cartoonists.
The report was passed on by Hamid Mir, the Pakistani journalist who has interviewed bin Laden and assistant Ayman al-Zawahiri and who just visited the no-man's land along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
While there, he was told by Taliban sources in south Waziristan that 12 young men nine Afghans and three Pakistanis are on their way to Europe to kill the Danish cartoonists. While some carry Afghan passports and others carry Iranian passports, all will travel through Iran on their way to Europe, he reports.
I'd be ok with just France.:P
The French are surrendering to Barbara Streisand as we speak.
Muslims??? Violence??? No way!!!
Mohammed, Dirka Dirka and Abdul kindly invite you to Paris...
21st Crusades?
might as well get it on and finish the job this time...
so no appeasing will spare France from the barbarians in the end? oh the humanity!
And according to this thread, 3 out of 4 Freepers so far agree with Al Qaeda?
Alright, I wasn't quick enough to miss one.
Good. Get this stuff out in the open, where everyone can get their damn blinders off and plainly see what we're facing here.
"Hail Satan"
.."QICK,someone calllll Pepe Le Pew"
"I see Denmark, I see France ... I see Al Qaeda's underpants."
We can only pray those countries take this seriously. I have my doubts about France. I'm listening to a John Batchelor guest say that I'ma-D*^n-Nut-Job's letter to the president was reasonable and a cause for an olive branch.
I don't know what Norway and France could do, but Denmark can pelt them with Danish hams. That'll chap their dignity and send them crying to the UN.
Whenever I hear about Muslims, that photo instantly comes to mind.
How can we help with the French project?
"In response, a dozen young cartoonist-commandos have left Amsterdam, bound for Afghanistan. Their mission is to draw sexually-explicit, homoerotic pictures of Mullahs as a retaliation for the lack of tolerance and humor shown by same."
"On hearing the news, the Mullahs targeted by the team of attack cartoonists reportedly got evil grins on their faces."
