Al Qaeda again telling us what they’ll do, before they do it. And the sheep are too stupid to care.

[PeteB570]

Very crude.

My bet would be on some high schoolers who think they’re very funny. Not so funny if they get caught.

[Uncle Miltie]

I think we need to riot and burn down the embassies of any country that crosses its sevens.

[Tolsti]

I dunno, look at how childish the anthrax letters were as well.

“Six of the nine postcards spell the word “Jihad” correctly, while the others are incorrect.”

Can’t spell Jihad? Yep, that seems like American high-schoolers.

[Palladin]

Yes. I remember the jihadist calendars depicting the bombing of the WTC— a YEAR BEFORE IT HAPPENED!

Wow.. I graduated from Vanguard High School.. oh so many years ago...

[SoftballMominVA]

Is that true? I’ve never heard that - do you have a link? I’d love to look that up and add it to some research I’ve been collecting.

I think you are correct.

“A Perfect Day” looming?

Six of the nine postcards spell the word "Jihad" correctly, while the others are incorrect.

Surprising. Not many people are aware that the correct spelling of "Jihad" is "I am a damn moron". It is a non-phonetic spelling that can be tricky to memorize...

The “crossed sevens” could mean the writer went to school in Europe. They didn’t learn that in a Florida school, and high schoolers probably wouldn’t feint that.

Note the date on the post card.

"JIAHD," :-).

So is it an Arab terrorist who can't spell words in English, or a typical student, who can't spell words in English ...

They cross the 7 (to distinguish it from a 1) in many places; actually, a lot of people in New York do it, probably because of the influence of so many 7-crossing foreigners. I myself cross my 7’s because I travel to places where they do it, and it makes one’s numbers clearer to them. Reading foreign numbers can be difficult!

That said, someone I know here (in Florida) got an e-mail death-threat from somebody who called himself “Ali the Assassin” and closed his threat-letter with “ALLAH IS MERCIFUL.” She thinks it was just spam, and not personal, because she was supposed to get in touch with an e-mail address in the UK (presumably to send money to buy off the “assassin”). Needless to say, she sent it to the FBI. But there are no doubt other people who received it and were terrified by it - anybody here get one or know anybody who did?

A dyslexic musilm terrorist?.................
