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.
What we are facing are cowards who hide behind skirts and attack anyone they think is weaker than they are.
Now don't this beat the crap out of a dead terrorist...........
France who likes to fight wars with their hands held high are in the bulls eye of the terrorist.
Who would have thunk such a sorry thing would ever happen. LOL
"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."
This from the religion of peace?
bttt
Looks like the militant islam appeasement strategy is paying off for Europe!
It almost defines them..
France has a policy that when a french woman is raped by a muslim gang, the government and police turns their heads the other way and tells the women "don't try to seek justice, your taking one for France".
I doubt that they will. A good read that covers this rather well is Robert Kagan's POWER AND WEAKNESS essay.
See tagline
Indeed it was! Allahu fubar!

They should stop off in Saudi Arabia and many of the other muslim countries on the way. There are museums and mosques there with paintings of Mohammmed on display.
Are you sure on this... pictures of Mohammmed seem to be a major taboo with all of them
I read an article a while back that showed that there is paintings of Mohammed in museums all over the world, paintings in some of the biggest mosques in places like Saudi Arabia.
Its only a major taboo when infidels display pictures of Mohammed.
"Fourteenth-century Persian miniature showing the Angel Gabriel speaking to Muhammed."
"Muhammed at Medina"
"An Iranian woman artist Oranous (who is a Muslim and lives in Tehran) created this iconic painting of a young Muhammed and is selling it online."
"the Quran is silent on the question of whether it is appropriate to paint a picture of Muhammed. There are, however, specific texts within the Hadith (collections of stories and sayings of Muhammed which have been passed down by others but which Muslims accept as authoritative). These sayings have been interpreted differently and applied inconsistently within the several branches of Islam. Within some Muslim communities images of Muhammed have proliferated, while in other Muslim communities figurative art of any kind has been prohibited."
It's kind of funny how the terrorists have gone from huge attacks on US targets to chasing cartoonists as their major objective for winning the war.
["Destroy their buildings, make their ground shake and transform them into a sea of blood," said Hassan,]
Hassan needs to learn some lessons from Dr. Joseph Goebbels. He just doen't come across that well. /sarc.
Cheers!
