| 'Those Who Bomb Fallujah Cannot Prevent Me from Bombing Los Angeles' |
| 2004-10-18 |
| Magdi Ahmad Hussein, the Secretary-General of the Egyptian Labor (Islamist) Party, recently appeared on Al-Jazeera TV, declaring that attacks against U.S. troops and civilians in Iraq are legitimate, and that hostage taking is permitted by Islam. He also called for clerics and fighters to go to fight in Iraq, defended the bombings in Taba, andargued that the American attack on Fallujah legitimizes a future terror attack in Los Angeles. To view the MEMRI TV clip of Hussein's statements, visit http://memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=292. The following are excerpts from the program: 'The Mujahid Should be There [in Iraq], and the Cleric Should be There' "The American casualties reach 47,000 dead and wounded, according to the American Veterans Association. 20% of the American forces were hurt, but the media only reports the Iraqi and Arab casualties. "I've seen a film of the so-called 'Monotheism and the Jihad,' which is believed to be the organization of Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi. In the film, I saw that they neutralized a bomb because an Iraqi woman passed by the tank. Out of concern for one Iraqi woman's life they neutralized a bomb and this appears in a film on the Internet and anyone can watch it. I'm not claiming that there are no mistakes. There are different opinions among the Iraqi resistance. But if you want to have an opinion, you should be with them, not us, sitting in air-conditioned rooms and telling them to do this that. "The mujahid should be there, and the cleric should be there, like Ibn Taymiyya, who set out with the mujahideen to the front lines. But we want to issue fatwas telling them not to do this or that, not to attack so and so. It's like us telling Hamas: 'don't attack buses lest an Israeli child be killed.' Do you have another means? When the Americans bomb [in Iraq] they say they are looking for Abu Mus'ab and the casualties were killed by accident. The Americans have the right to kill civilians accidentally, while the Qassam rockets and the [suicide] martyrs should target only adults, men and women working in the Israeli army, and should tell the children to get off the bus!?" 'If We had Missiles We should have Bombed Los Angeles' "We are the weak ones. They make demands on us that don't exist in international law. There must be reciprocity. If your city is being bombed
Those who bomb Fallujah cannot prevent me from bombing Los Angeles. Why Fallujah? Why do we always feel inferior to them? What is the meaning of this inferiority complex? If we had missiles we should have bombed Los Angeles or any other city until they stopped bombing Fallujah, Samarra, and Ramadi. "Sir, why do the government clerics ignore the killing of the prisoners during the time of the Prophet? 600-700 prisoners were killed in the raid on the Qurayza tribe. Why do they conceal this? Why do they hide the fact that the Prophet gave the order to assassinate some poets — to assassinate! Not in military operations, but rather by individual assassination. Why did he order the assassination of K'ab Ibn Ashraf, the Jew, leader of Khaybar? And then he ordered the assassination of the leader who successive him. As a result, the Jews became fearful and terrified." |

| #7 How many $b has the US given to Egypt? the motherland of the most radical Islamofascist movements? Make no mistake, that we will have to deal very violently with Egypt as part of WW IV. They want us dead. |

| #5 ..andargued that the American attack on Fallujah legitimizes a future terror attack in Los Angeles. You will excuse us then if, as a consequence of a possible future attack, we end up finding and killing all of your fellow terrorists and their sympathizers. |

| #4 I consider people who male these statements a threat to my security. I evpect my government to protect me from such threats. I expect them to send a team of government employees and kill his worthless ass. It's what I expect but it won't happen. The people really running the CIA are a bunch of pussies. |

| #3 The American casualties reach 47,000 dead and wounded, according to the American Veterans Association. Really, Magdi Ahmad--may I call you "Maggie?"--you will have to do better than that. Not even CBS is dumb enough to fall for that number. Those who bomb Fallujah cannot prevent me from bombing Los Angeles. Here's the difference, Maggie: we can get to Falluja; you probably couldn't find Los Angeles with a Rand McNally atlas and an American Airlines timetable. |

| #2 Magdi Ahmad Hussein can become fair game, too if he spouts this tripe. If he had missiles bomb LA, he would not even be a grease spot on the L&N. The West has exercised extreme restraint so far. If we wanted to eliminate Fallujah, we would have levelled Fallujah with not so much as a by-your-leave, sir. This guy is just a hot air bag with a bull's eye target painted on. |

| #1 Why Fallujah? Why do we always feel inferior to them? ...why do the government clerics ignore the killing of the prisoners during the time of the Prophet? ...Why do they hide the fact that the Prophet gave the order to assassinate some poets – to assassinate! Why do we hate you? Let me count the ways. |
