#2 Just so you know - the way to translate "Arabian Peninsula" is:

al-Jazeera

The reason you will not see this group's name printed in full arabic transliteration is that the media does not want people to confuse Al-Qaida fi al-Jazeera with the TV network al-Jazeera.

#3 Is there any question that this is a religious struggle now? Thing is, we didn't call it that . . . they did.

#4 Once again, we repeat our call and send this clear message to our Muslim brothers, warning against fellowship with the Crusaders,..

They really, REALLY, need to get over this medieval shit.

You mean they're not on the same side or anything?

#6 I'm so tired of this Crusader crap. If Americans were one-tenth the monsters these creatures say we are, the only problem left would be how to dispose of all the dead muslims and all the overblown jihadi rhetoric couldn't do a thing to stop it. People in that part of the world live only because we allow them to live.

#7 We confirm and repeat this statement in support of the Ummah (Islam nation), caring for our Muslim brothersâ blood for who we undertake these operations.

We kill them to care for their blood. Gee. Didn't realize they were siphoning up all the blood from the splatter their dead brothers leave in their wake. Sounds a little vampirish to me.

#8 RWV: If Americans were one-tenth the monsters these creatures say we are . . .

If Americans were one-tenth the monsters these creatures are themselves we would be much further ahead on the WOT.

#9 For the first time I agree with Jihad Unspun. I wouldn't have a problem if all Muslims moved out of the crusder and Idolitar countries. Then they should learn to take on the jobs of the Crusaders and Idolitars in the oil industry and isolate themselves entirely. Win win.

Oh, but they love the lapdances, gambling on the Rivera and heaven forbid someone might suggest work.

#10 Which Idols are they talking about?
Rueben or Fantasia?

#11 Er, does this mean they're going to blow up their version of "American Idol"?

#12 Here' something to ponder:
the Canadian Society of Muslims projects that by 2025, Muslims will represent 30% of the world's population. Christianity will be only 25%. No stats are given for other religions, so they must not be a significant number.
http://muslim-canada.org/muslimstats.html
Largely through immigration, the Muslim population of the United States grew sixfold between 1972 and 1990. And even in countries where immigration has been suppressed, the growth continues. Last year, seven percent of babies born in European Union countries were Muslims. In Brussels, the figure was a staggering 57 percent. Islam is already the second religion of almost every European state - the only exceptions being those European countries such as Azerbaijan and Albania where it is the majority religion.

Are any of you betting men and women?

Do any of you believe that democracy will take hold in Muslim dominated countries in a mere 25 years. Or will it be Allah's words that will dominate Muslims' actions 25 years from now?

And don't count on moderate Muslims to save the day. With regards to moderate Muslims, I'm betting most them will not bear arms against the fundamentalists because the Koran forbids killing "good" Muslims following Allah's words...and who follows the Koran more literally than anyone else but fundamentalists?

That's why Al Queda is enunciating the battle as being a religious one of Muslims against Crusaders. Al Queda is continually warning moderate Muslims not following the Koran to wise up and get on the same page as them. This is not a warning to "infidels" because we are beyond saving.

Unfortunately, our leaders cannot define the battle as a religious one... at least not at this stage.

I think our collective "infidel" goose is cooked. Any bets?

#13 The world would like to lie to itself about what is happening and how dangerous it is, but you are absolutely correct, Rex. Unless your future is as a volunteer suicide bomber or mine a volunteer breeding animal under a burka, we BETTER be prepared to define the battle as a religious one.

#14 Don't be so stupid as to believe Muslim claims about their numbers.

#15 Largely through immigration, the Muslim population of the United States grew sixfold between 1972 and 1990

#17 I read somewhere, too, that there's a growing Christianity in the Southern hemisphere; we may have some allies there that we haven't thought to bring in . . .

In a February 16, 2004 WND article Joseph Farrah says the opposite:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=37133
"Al Queda south of the border"

...The Argentinean intelligence service assessment, privy among others, to European and Middle Eastern agencies, has reached a significant and grave conclusion, according to G2 Bulletin. It claims since 9/11 and the partial success in the war against terrorism, mainly in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Central Asia, the jihadi pendulum is tilting more and more toward South America...the growing danger is that of militant Islam penetrating Mexico, a country with an increasing Muslim community, including Muslim converts. Some of them have ties to the Mexican community and to illegal immigrants' smugglers operating in American states bordering Mexico, especially those with connections in the greater Los Angeles area and other major cities...Both al-Qaida and Hezbollah were active in the common border area of Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, according to an earlier statement of Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage in hearings before the Foreign Appropriations Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, cited in a report from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty...Some 6 million people of Muslim descent live in Latin America and there are reports that many indigenous people are converting to Islam.

Also,
http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Park/6443/LatinAmerica/latinos.html
...But in growing numbers, Hispanics, the country's fastest-growing ethnic group, are finding new faith in Islam, the nation's fastest-growing religion. Moved by what many say is a close-knit religious environment and a faith that provides a more concrete, intimate connection with God, they are replacing Mass with mosques.

#19 Hmm. I got my info from a book called The Next Christendom, by . . . Philip Jenkins, I think. His analysis was that Christianity was growing. Maybe it's been reversed since he published, although I don't think it was *that* long ago . . .

#20 Check out the IslamicFinder website.

You can look at individual countries for prayer times and Islamic associations. Very interesting...Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, etc all have active Muslim religious groups.
