Terror figure heard urging strike against Sears Tower
2007-10-06
The alleged leader of a group accused of plotting terrorist attacks in the US repeatedly mentioned the Sears Tower as a target in a videotaped conversation with a paid FBI informant shown in court Friday. Narseal Batiste mentions the Chicago skyscraper, along with the Empire State Building in New York City and a National Guard armory in northern Miami as potential attack sites. His comments are caught in surveillance video filmed in the apartment of Abbas al Saidi, a Yemeni national who Batiste believed was connected with al-Qaida but actually was working for the FBI.

#5  My solution, make the Black Rock evaporate

RJ, this is something I've been trying to address as well. Some major setbacks, including destruction of significant religious symbols, might just begin to undermine Muslim confidence. It's a program that really needs to begin stat. Nailing Iran on "World Quds Day" would have gone a long towards shaking any faith in their invincibility. This is something that needs to be done on a monthly weekly daily hourly continuous basis.

#4  Nothing destroys a religion (Very loosely speaking) like a direct message "God doesn't like you".

Anyone would have figured that all the earthquakes and tsunamis might have communicated such a notion, but noooooooooooooooooooooo!

#3  My solution, make the Black Rock evaporate (Non Nuclear) with a "Rod from God", or by nudging a real meteorite a bit.
No radioactivity, no "Fingerprints" and do it quietly. (Like the Syrian "Hole in the desert)

Nothing destroys a religion (Very loosely speaking)like a direct message "God doesn't like you".

#2  Old Patriot, I may not totally agree with you but please rest assured that what you propose represents one of the few credible deterrents to Islamic terrorism. Long ago Mrs. Davis suggested we give due notice to all rogue and terrorist regimes that a single nuclear atrocity upon American soil would result in all of them getting a dose of bottled sunshine. It is no sort of major jump to extend that to any sort of new atrocity.

I continue in pressing all of the talented minds we have here at Rantburg to please cudgle their wits and suggest any other viable alternatives. The West had damn well better come up with some truly inventive options or else, soon enough, Islam will paint us into the corner of simple nuclear annihilation.

#1  We need to make an open declaration to the muzzies that any further attacks on the United States WILL result in the nuking of an important muzzie site - with no areas off limits. An attack on any major city - Mecca goes up in a nuclear sunrise. Any attack on our allies, and 20 mosques get hammered with tac nukes - in 20 different cities (kinda sucks to be around or downwind of them...). A major attack on our armed forces, or the armed forces of our allies, and the Aswan Dam becomes radioactive rock vapor (being downstream is REALLY gonna suck). A nuclear attack against Israel OR the United States means that the 296 largest cities in the MME become glass skating rinks. No taqiyyia, no jizyah, no hudna, and no forgiveness - just one big orgy of big, BIG weapons used as they were intended to be used. Oh, and we'll pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving some ticking time bombs behind. "Live by the sword, die by the sword". It's time for Islam to grow up and acknowledge there are other types of people in the world that have an equal right to live and worship as they please, or it's time for Islam to die. Time is running out.
