Jordanian journalist outlines al-Qaeda strategy
2005-09-08
The Jihad - the holy war against the infidels being waged by al-Qaeda and other Islamic terror formations - will end in 2020 with the defeat of the West, predicts Fuad Hussein in his controversial new book 'Al-Zarqawi - al-Qaeda's second generation'. The book, published one chapter at a time by the London-based Arab newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi, details al-Qaeda's global game plan, which was conceived before the 11 September, 2001 terror attacks and is divided into seven operational phases.

The first stage, called the 'the awakening phase', started in 2000 with the preparation of the 11 September's attacks. With the attack on the World Trade Centre, ''the Muslim world woke up and saw the real America''.

Fuad Hussein argues that the turning point towards the second phase was the war on Iraq. During the "eye-opener phase", from 2003 to 2006, Muslims will become aware of the Americans' abuses against their land and belongings. And Al-Qaeda's leadership will experience a generation change in favour of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.

The third phase of ''rebirth and re-positioning" will last, according to al-Qaeda's strategic thinkers, from 2007 to 2010. The period should be characterised by al-Qaeda's reshaping of Iraqi's neighbours, concentrating at the beginning on Syria, Jordan and Palestine.

''This phase takes into account the current attacks led by Americans, Europeans and Jews against Syria" writes the Arab author in his book. "The battle will shift to Syria as al-Qaeda will start a frontal attack on Israel''.

Fuad Hussein indicates the fourth phase, from 2010 to 2013, is aimed at ''preparing the final victory and acquiring the necessary force for change''. According to the Arab writer, al-Qaeda will then concentrate on a war against the Arab leaders.

The fifth phase, from 2013 to 2016, refers to the "annoucement and birth of a state".
The plan also forsees that China and India will become world leaders while the States and the European Union will undergo a severe economic crisis. Great Britain will also exit the European Union ''to saveguard its interests''.

Bin Laden's men, according to the new book, believe that when "European countries will encounter problems they will retrieve their troops and abbandon their interests in the Arab world, leaving the States alone''. Times might then be ripe for an Islamic state and the creation of the Caliphate.

The sixth phase, labelled menacingly as "total war'', should start in 2016 and forsees a traditional battle between what the author labels the front of Faith, ie al Qaeda and its supporters, and the front of the unbelievers.

The last phase is that in which al-Qaeda believes it will secure a final victory. The period won't last long - says the book - and it marks the end of Israel and the growing power of an Islamic State.

Similar analyses of al-Qaeda's plans and strategies for the future have been published in less comprehensive form on extremist Islamic forums without ever being denied by the organisation itself.

#12  "2020" - the maxima the Clintons and Lefties give for the USA to accept Socialism and Socialist OWG, after which the Lefties and Commies reserve their unconditional and undeniable right to use force, warfare, violence and destruction ags free America, or remnants thereof;
"2016" - weirdly, mysteriously, and oh so PC close to 2015-2018 where both Russia and China feel they'll be ready to fight any de facto nuclear war ags the USA, and only the USA. US-specific, anti-US CIVIL WAR = LIMITED WAR = GLOBAL-TOTAL-MAD NUKE WAR. Reminds me of one of my fav BUGS BUNNY toon dialogues - ELMER FUDD: "GEE, MR BUNNY, I'M SORRY I HURTED YA WHEN I KILLED YA"!? CLINTONISM > America is a Socialist and Communist country in everything except name, and that "FASCISTS" both are controlled by the Commie majority while existing as autonomous fraction of the anti-Unitarian Unitarian, CPUSA Commie majority, aka the Washington-National Political Establishment: Capitalists, Free Traders,Federalists, Libertarians, Americanists, Sovereigntists, and believers in decentalized or Republican form(s) of Govt, etc. are essens ANTI-SOCIALIST = ANTI-"CONSERVATIVE" REBELS, SEPARATISTS AND TRAITORS!?
And so it is, boyz and girlz, that among other things the Demmies have no problem with America and the GOP warring and invading around the world post 9-11, dev and spreading Amerikan Socialist = USSA power and reach for Empire, the Demmies prob is Free = Socialist, as opposed to Communist Amerika, winning the WOT!? REALITY SHOWS > NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF HOLLYWOOD, CAN BE TRUSTED FOR ANYTHING, ERGO REGUL AND SUPER-REGUL, BIG GOVT AND BIGGER GOVT, ETC, IS GOOD FOR GRANDMA, APPLE PIE, AND YOUR PET DOG, WHEN AUTHORITARIAN FASCISM JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH OR STRONG ENOUGH OR COMPETENT ENOUGH TO PROTECT FREE = SOCIALIST AMERIKA, D *** YOU!? GOOD CLINTONIANS DEMAND THEIR CURRENT NATIONAL "FASCIST" GOVT. TO BE "PERFECT", BUT NOT TO BE COMMIE "TOTALITARIAN" OR "ABSOLUTIST".

#8  Thanks, .com. They say that brevity is the soul of wit. In my case, I think that my wrists are too sore for verbosity. You really don't want to get me talking.

#7  As a proud crusader infidel, I think we should just get on with Phase 7, the total ass-kicking phase. Screw the foreplay.

Scoff. The book is published one chapter at a time so that he write about the present and pretend that he predicted it as future events. Boy, Howdy, that Binny sure was smart....even predicting that Al-Qaeda's leadership will experience a generation change in favour of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. *snicker*

#5  Zhang, I agree. The rise of the East is horrible for Islam cos they are far less multicult PC than we are.

#3  The seventh phase, known as the ass kicking, is when Dar al Harb gets tired of these violent fanatics and puts them down like the rabid dogs that they are.

The eighth phase is the burial, and pretty much speaks for itself.

Notice how vague these guys are. They trumpet the rise of China and India as if these were good things for Islam. Actually, they are horrible. Let's say Europe and Uncle Sam stay roughly where they are economically and China and India become dominant. The Muslim lands no longer have to deal only with a strong non-Muslim West - they also have to deal with a strong non-Muslim East. How does this improve their position? There's a huge disconnect here. Note also that Japan's not disappearing. Korea isn't, either. They must be hoping that the hand of Allah just sweeps the non-Muslim chess pieces off the board, because these developments are definitely not in Islam's favor.
