“they are going to attack us for [not converting to Islam]”
Historically, Muslim conquerors, before attacking a non-muslim city or people, would grandly and publically issue the “call to Islam”, knowing fully that there would be no compliance with this demand. But, having done so, the conqueror was now morally free (by Islamic law, anyway) to slaughter the infidels and leave no survivors.
However, there usually were survivors of Islamic conquests, to be “granted” dhimmi status and be forced to pay the jizyah, or tax to Muslims.
After all, dead infidels pay no taxes.
The lefty comments on youtube etc. are frightening. We are truly fighting communism on our own soil.
How can I find this video at Youtube.
I want a copy of it???

Bin Laden’s been on DailyKos for years. (Well it sounds like it’s him.)
Everything but Islamic Rule is unacceptable.
I don’t think Bin Laden was ‘stroking’ the left. If you read the transcript very closely, you’ll see a couple of main themes.
First, all of mankind’s unhappiness is the direct result of departing from the Koran.
Second, the war and all the troubles in the world will continue until the world rejects capitalism and democracy and converts to Islaam.
Third, there is the invitation to convert. (You are obviously aware that an attack must be preceeded by such an invitation.)
It’s hard to see this as stroking the left since he also condemns the culture of the left. If he really wanted to stroke the left there would have been a lot more of the kumbaya, live and let left, non-judgemental, can’t we all just get along rhetoric. He does mention some liberal themes (global warming, etc) but he presents Islaam as the only solution. BTW, you really think the left would embrace a 2.5% tax rate?

I always just assumed Osama was a democrat.
This was funny. When I first saw the clip, it was during Shep Smith’s Studio B and I couldn’t stop laughing. I flipped an email off to Shep, asking him what he thought binny’s dKos UID# was. It seems to prove what we’ve been saying all along - that the move from leftism into Islamism can be pretty seamless.
Walid Phares was surfing jihadist sites yesterday and found that they are all po’d at bin Laden for just talking about America and not mentioning their awesome jihad in places like Somalia. If bin Laden thinks Adam Gadahn made him look like a total fool, d’ya think he might behead Gadahn for us? It would be a great lesson for the left.
As a note, Mike Baker just called bin Laden the World’s Greatest Gasbag. lol!

I agree that the left wants to reshape capitalism and America in order to promote ‘fairness’, etc. However, Bin Laden wants to do away with capitalism, industrial society, charging interest, western culture, anything not consistent with the Koran. This message cannot be considered ‘stroking’ the left. Anyone leftist with any intelligence must see this.
Sure, the left might seize upon Bin Laden to futher their attempt to gain power, but they cannot see this message as complimentory to themselves.
"The tendency of right wing pundits to equate Democrats and liberals with violent criminals, terrorists and genocidal dictators is a growing trend in the media."
That's progress! They use to only call Saddam a "bad" man.
Yes, you would think “Gideon” would be an acceptable form of the name...but maybe he was afraid people would think he was the publisher of the Bible...and blame him for anything they didn’t like in it.
