#1 Good plan. Declare allegiance to a rotting corpse feeding worms in an Afghan cave. Next?

#2 The Unity translation of Tawhid isn't very accurate, since Tawhid is a specific Islamic concept referring to the absolute oneness of Allah, as opposed to the Trinity of Christianity.

If you look around the Internet, you will often see Islamists (including al-Zawahiri) with a clenched fist with the index finger sticking up. That is the symbol of political Islam, and comes from this concept of Tawhid.

#3 Thanks for the information Paul. A better translation may then be "Monism" (all is one).

Better plan: declare allegiance to a rotting, monist corpse.

#4 Tawhid and Jihad, the Iraqi militant group of terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, apparently has changed its name two days after announcing its merger with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida organization.

"Cannon Fodder Boys" might be an appropriate new name.

#5 Anybody got an Arabic translation for "Dead Motherfuckers"? I'd like that one.

#6 The Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against al-Qaida and the Taliban said it had added al-Zarqawi's network, Jama'at al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad - known as Tawhid and Jihad - to the list on Monday. It said the group is also known as the Monotheism and Jihad Group.

oops...they changed their name. Darn! Back to the conference table guys, we need to draft a whole new resolution.

But first, LUNCH!
