There is no war as far as our president is concerned. There are no Islamic Terrorists, only a few rogue extremists. There is no REAL Jihad. Jihad is simply a "spiritual journey" to Allah, the most merciful. So he says. Islam, to his mind, has contributed so much to the world, after all, since Mohammed's slaughter of the Jews at Medina.
Judging by Obama's actions in the recent weeks and months, he no doubt would have agreed the Jews deserved what they got from the "religion of peace." He continues the onslaught in the name of "social justice" and "human rights"...for them. But not for us, US.
It isn't America that Islam despises, it is the Jews. And all we need do to remedy that is to turn the Jews over for just punishment...and they will love America for it. Peace would reign in the world if only America would stop its support of those wicked Jews in Israel.
Unfortunately, his view is not shared by Al Qaeda. Nor would it be shared by the satanic character of Mohammed who ordered the butchering of innocents to further his mad quest for power.
This is excerpted from the latest Al Qaeda screed from Yahya al-Libi:

Abu Yahya Al-Libi

All Americans Must Be Killed Even If They Capitulate

Top Al Qaeda leader Abu Yahya Al-Libi is out with a new, and particularly grim, tract comparing America to the Bani Quraidah, a Jewish tribe that once came into conflict with Mohammed, resulting in all the adult males being killed, and the women and children being taken as slaves, according to a mix of hadith and Quranic sources.

The takeaway from this 20-page work is rather specific and quite possibly a signpost to trouble ahead.
Al-Libi is arguing:

1) The harshest punishment is justified for those who ally themselves with the enemies of Islam, even if those people do not commit overt acts against Muslims.

2) That punishment, in the case of the Quraidah, was that all of the adult males were killed and all women and children taken as slaves. Al-Libi goes out of his way to point out that this punishment was meted out after the Quraidah surrendered.

3) The United States meets the same criteria for judgment as the Quraidah.

The expansion of the conflict here is in keeping with Al Qaeda's practices, although I don't recall seeing it stated so bluntly and justified so elaborately before.

Basically, Al-Libi is saying that every adult male American ought to be killed, whether or not they submit to the judgment of Muslims (meaning Al Qaeda, of course,) whether or not they have specifically taken up arms against Muslims, and whether or not they continue to be at war with Muslims.

Or, to use his words, they are to be killed "not just as a punishment for the crime which they have committed in the past" but "to cut off the very substance of their evil." He specifically includes prisoners taken on the battlefield in this category, although he takes pains to say that his point is much broader.

Something not right? Go with your gut. Report it.

All indications are the tape is legitimate. YouTube has pulled the video and shut down the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel since this article was published.

Tape is back again. They're also now doing the old fileshare dance, including some threat stuff from Mesuhd which is dated back in april about attacks in the us. Well, not youtube dated but Mesuhd gives a date in april...

[MestaMachine]

So! You are awake! I was wondering if it was on a file share site, but I’ve been busy, doncha know.

Just woke up. Had a window open on the main talib forum thread on this stuff, so was the first thing I saw :). Now I'm gonna make some coffee before my eyes fall out...

[MestaMachine]

WAIT! Is the vid back on YouTube or where is it?

Per Fox News:

Police investigating an attempted terror attack on Time Square focus on finding a man videotaped shedding his shirt near where the bomb was found.
**************************
NYPD Examine Video, Seek Possible Bomb Suspect
May 03, 2010

The surveillance video shows an unidentified white man apparently in his 40s slipping down an alley and taking off a shirt, revealing another underneath. In the same clip, he's seen looking back in the direction of the smoking vehicle and furtively putting the first shirt in a bag, Kelly said.

snip
A monitoring group, IntelCenter, said the Pakistani Taliban released another video, apparently dated early April, of their leader promising an imminent attack on major U.S. cities.
The video is about 9 minutes long and features Hakimullah Mehsud, the Pakistani Taliban chief, according to IntelCenter, a U.S.-based group that monitors militant media. Mehsud does not specifically mention New York but says he is speaking on April 4 of this year and promises, "God willing, very soon in some days or a month's time, the Muslim (community) will see the fruits of most successful attacks of our fedayeen in USA."

Gotta disagree with the article claiming the Taliban are a threat internally here in the USA. Communicated with a good friend of mine currently serving in Iraq. He's a career officer (West Point grad) and heavily decorated from extensive action in Afghanistan. His knowledgeable opinion on the Taliban is that they're a bunch of Mountain equivalent Hillbillies with little effectiveness inside their own country and virtually zero effectiveness outside in even neighboring countries. They have NO aspirations against the US Homeland and any claims of this sort are a feeble attempt on their part to avoid being further marginalized. This was likely a lone nutcase. I don't put it out of the reach of AQ but this has nothing to do with the Taliban. I've been looking for AQ car bombings and suicide attacks on home soil since the Sept 11th attacks. But that's AQ and could originate from any number of countries besides Afghanistan. AQ is present in over 60 countries.

Gotta disagree with the article claiming the Taliban are a threat internally here in the USA.

Your friend may well be on-the-money correct, but on the other hand, we don't have a clue who's been coming across our southern and northern borders who has ill intent for us. The 9/11 group had ties, and the Taliban and Al Qaeda seem to as well. There's so many terrorist groups, but most have a unified goal of retaliation agaiinst the USA.

A reasoned moment from an Arizona Perspective

“Rancher Rob Krentz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago,” said Senator Allen. “The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property. One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles.
