A revealing Al-Qaeda manual has been found in Pakistan. From UPI:
A terrorist survival information kit, obtained by United Press International, reveals how the Taliban, al Qaeda and their sympathizers are preparing to survive a long and drawn-out U.S.-led war against terrorism. . . .They show that the Taliban, al Qaeda and other militant groups are well aware of the changes brought about by the U.S.-led war on terrorism and realize they can no longer work openly, even in areas where there is widespread sympathy in the local population.
Documents in the kit repeatedly emphasize the need for Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists to "merge with the masses" and "become indistinguishable" from the rest of the people.
The instructions explain that large terrorist organizations have already divided themselves into three segments.
The first segment is the central command, which is referred to as "markaz" (center), or "nazm" (leadership)."
The second segment is that of small units, and the third and most important is that of individual members who are called "friends" and are warned "not to meet each other unless they must" and "not to communicate with the nazm."
"Merge completely in the environment you live in ... there will be no personal friendship, not even with the members of your own group," the kit advises.
The kit contains pictures of 18 terrorists who are on the FBI's most-wanted list. The first is that of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, followed by his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, and other top al Qaeda operatives.
A caption above the pictures says: "These are mujahideen, not dangerous religious terrorists."
As I explain in Onward Muslim Soldiers and elsewhere, if we do not grasp the distinction they are making here (which radical Muslims often make), we will not fully grasp the nature of the conflict we are in.
The caption refers to a similar list issued recently by the government of Pakistan, which identified the 18 men as "dangerous religious terrorists" and which advised Pakistanis to inform the government if they see or hear anything about them.An al Qaeda pamphlet in the kit cites a verse from the Koran:
"Those who believed [in God] and migrated and did jihad for Allah's sake and those who sheltered such people and helped them ... indeed, they are the real believers. They will be rewarded [by God]."
A manual begins with a general warning: "Every member will take all necessary precautions in his personal and social life to protect the group and its leadership ... in his personal life, each member shall merge completely with the society he lives in so that he is indistinguishable from other members of the society."
It features instructions for al Qaeda units:
• "If you live in an area where people wear Western dress, you also dress like them ... if the majority in that area has a secular mindset, do not express your religious sentiments."
• "Look closely at the ethnic complexion of your neighborhood ... if the area has a large number of people from Punjab [province in Pakistan], stay away from them because they often spy for intelligence agencies."
• "Don't visit the local mosque regularly. Instead say your prayers at your residence, even the weekly Friday prayer."
• "Know your neighbors but do not make too many friends ... do not travel unless you have to ... do not visit new cities and countries ... never keep illegal objects while traveling ... never carry audio or video cassettes and posters of your group or leader while traveling."The kit offers tips on using a cell phone:
• "Use a cell phone only when you must and an alternative means of communication is not available ... it is better not to use cell phones at all ... if you must use a cell phone, use the one obtained under fake name and address ... never use a phone provided by your 'nazm' for calling a friend or a relative."How to use the Internet:
• "For using the Internet, you must go to an Internet cafe ... never use the same Internet cafe again and again ... before leaving the cafe, remove all evidence ... while sending an e-mail, never use the language that could reveal your ideological commitment."
Until and unless our country rejects PC and the "all religions are automatically good" filter that protects their followers from experiencing the consequences of their actions, we will be at war forever. It will be Isreal on a global scale.
The current anti-terror campaign is the equivalent of combing the fleas off our pets without getting rid of the eggs.
Anti-terrorist strategy and tactics must be directed at the means of production, not just the product.
ISLAM must be declared as being a cult of death and destruction ,and not a religion.
Only to avoid the ppolitical corectness demagogy and attacks.
Then we have to ban islam and to close down all mosques.
Then we need to send out the message to our politicians:if you want to be elected ,you have to protect this country against its deadly ennemy,ISLAM.
We also have to stop immigration of muslims to the US,and to deport the ones that are suspected of even the remotest connection with terrorists.
And last but not least,we need to give a warning to all muslim countries governments:you are going to be held responsible for you citizens` actions of terror...another attack against the US and you will suffer horrible consequences.
God bless America!
It is difficult to keep an open mind when mainstream Muslim leaders advocate violence, as evidenced at the recent pilgrimage in Mecca, where the Sheik Saleh al-Taleb told the 500,000 Muslims:
"Oh God, give victory to the mujahedeen
(holy warriors) everywhere. Give them victory
in Palestine. Oh God, make the Muslims
triumphant and destroy their enemies, and make
this country and Muslim countries free of
the zionsits."

What other evidence do we need!?!? Imagine the Pope, or other religious leader saying the same thing! This is not about peace and tolerance! This was the opportunity for mainstream Muslims to stand up and focus its followers...hopefully towards world peace and against murdering innocents for self-righteousness. To win this battle we must insist on our world's religious leaders to stand up and fight for a moral victory!
I don't yet understand how Muslims could claim Moses a Prophet; and how the Torah, Old Testament are part of the Qu-ran (some spell "Coran): yet murder is accepted (vs 10 Commandments)? Jihadd, as I understand, is against those WHO ARE PERSECUTING YOU- unarmed innocents are not at war against Muslims! How are their deaths justified? If it is okay to kill yourself, your own believers- and those innocents who are basically the ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD, then this is about TOTAL ANNIHILATION! Wake up everyone!
I want to think Jihad Watch for allowing this educator to gain much needed insight!
adela,
I have had to come out of hiding after seeing that awesome post. do you consider yourself a prejudice person? because I believe you are from seeing the hateful words that you used. its almost like you are the complete foil for the radical muslims they hate the jewish and christian religion and you hate islam. i bet if we substituted "christianity" every place you wrote "islam" then you little paragraph would sound just like a fatwa from bin laden....
have a nice day and get those hateful thoughts out
of your brain its not helping anyone
Joseph,it is because people like you that 9/11 happened.
It is because people llike you that other horrible terrorist muslim attacks will happen again.
You fail to notice that this is a war that we did not start and did not want.
The muslims have declared openly that they want to destroy the infidels,to destroy the great satan which they say is the US.
Their immams say so,their political leaders say so,their head of governments say so,and ultimately ,the quran says so.
What more proof do you need ?!
If you are in denial,if you are suicidal or if you are just a coward,that`s your problem.
I am not.
I want to defend myself,i eant the governemnt to defend this country and its citizens against the deadly cancer that is threatening us;ISLAM.
If you want your children to wear burqas and turbans,to pray 5 times/day facing Mecca,if you want the sharia to replace our constitution,it is your problem.
I don`t.
If you fail to realize the kill-or-be-killed
situation our country is in ,i`m afraid you are plain stupid.
And by the way Joseph,why did you have to go into hiding?!
Did you get your survival,al qaeda kit yet?!
God bless America.
they problem I have is the language that you use. you basically say that united states or christians or whoever must destroy a religion that millions of people across the world practice including in the united states. then block imigration of folowers of islam into this country and kick out all non citizen muslims. your views and policys are very similar to nazi germanys. Your idea for a modern day crusade is insane and by the grace of your christian god I hope will never happen.
Adela is completely right. It is not a nazi thing to defend yourself against enemies that want to destroy you. If self-defense were a nazi thing, then those who opposed the nazis were nazis, but I think that rather the nazi is the one that always sees nazis everywhere, or maybe the nazis....why do some people always refer to the nazis when they discuss? I have the impression they most be secret admirers of the Schutz Steifel cult to Death.
Your are right on target Adela, the right to self defense is a right that nobody can take away from us, and the one who tries is decidedly our enemy. As simple as that.
Joseph, it's hardly fair to compare the current situation that you're attacking Adela for to Nazi Germany. One, the Jews never attacked the Nazis, nor were they ever a threat to them. Two, we haven't thrown Muslims into ovens and then put them in mass graves.
If you don't like the language being used here, then feel free to find another site to peruse. You have been jabbing anyone that posts on here and speaks the truth. I support Adela's statements. I also agree that there is an underlying current with Islam, labeled the "5th column" that wants to attempt a takeover.
It's not going to happen, but have no doubts, they will attempt this. Anyway. I guess the best way to handle you, and your constant badgering, baseless badgering, is to ignore you. Call us racists, call us what you wish, you have lost all credibility. So go ahead and type away.
I just don't feel that you're on the same page as everyone else, and even more sadly, I don't believe you want to be.
it is a nazi thing to advocate the persocution of a religion and people who follow that religion. adela is advocating the banning of islam in this country. and encuraging the idea of destroying islam as a religon in the world. it is also a nazi thing to ban immigration of people who are muslim or are from the middle east. like it or not you have very much in common with the idea's of 1930's racists facists.
Did the thought ever cross your mind that perhaps....if Islamists stopped with the murder, blowing everything to bits,and making hourly threats to the entire world, that they wouldn't be so hated? The true racists are Islamic fundementalists that hate everything that doesn't agree with their ways.....
This is a completely different ballgame....This is about protecting our nation from barbaric pigs...plain and simple. But, you probably already know that. Joseph, why do you come to this site? Is it to simply irritate? or do you think that you're right and everyone else is wrong? Are you Islamic? If you are, or you love Islam like it appears, then why don't you stand up against the radicals that want everyone, including you.......eliminated? It's apparent that it bothers you that so many hate Islam...
Why don't you show all of us why it's such a wonderful, peaceful religion? No one else has demonstrated this proof..Talk is very cheap....especially when lives are being lost every day........
So we ask you......Where's the peace?
Joseph,
In order for Islam to earn acceptance, it must change its behavior. In order to change its behavior, it must change its moral code (a moral code is a set of values chosen [please note that "chosen" is the operative term] to guide one's thoughts and behavior); the value it must choose as the "standard of good" is human life; in order to choose human life as its fundamental value, it must first reject death, which it currently chooses as its fundamental value, since these two are mutually exclusive.
Do you not understand this? It's really quite uncomplicated.
Unfortunately, it's a neuroendocrinological fact of life that if you are over about 15 years of age, it's almost surely too late for you to "get it." While one can definitely teach an old dog new tricks, it takes a good deal more effort on the part of both teacher and dog.
You are probably beyond hope. You will never understand that mankind's purpose for existing is to experience happiness, and that happiness is based on reason.
By clinging to the values you hold, you are wasting your life, and will experience only unhappiness, which will take the form of anger, rage, humiliation, revenge, etc.
Poor thing. You won't get a second chance, you know.
Joseph,i have never said i was a christian or a budhist,i have never mentioned my affiliation to any religion and none of my comments here were based on my religious beliefs.
This does not have anything to do with my religion.
And i don`t have anything against any other religion.
I do hewever have the right to defend myself and my country that is being under muslim attack for no apparent reason other that we are non muslims,or infidels.
A religion that encourages its followers to kill all nonbelievers/infidels,unless they convert to islam....this is the religion you try so hard to defend.
I will say one more thing :a world without such a religion would be a much better and safer place.
God bless America.
you are generalizing a entire religion on the acts of a minority. you must remember that the bible also has qoutes envolving infidels and killing the non believers. d.c ive already told you im a athiest(you already pegged me as a liberal i though you at least would assume that im a athiest as well on top of being a tree hugger or whatever they call us) i think all of you muslim ,christian, jew ,etc. are crazy. the reason i come to this site is i see very hateful and harmful language coming from the comment posters. of the millions of muslims on this planet what percentage do you think will actually take up arms against the west,non muslims, etc. i think its very small few. the majority of any group would rather liver there lives ,goto work , raise a family. and for you to try and lump the entire religion and its followers as a whole as this global death horde that must be stopped or it will destroy america is just completely out there..
Joseph,
it is happening allover the world,where muslimslive.
In France they have been wellcomed and given a shelter,and now they are taking over the country by terrorist acts,violent demonstrations and ridiculous demands.
In Germany ,Italy,Spain,Denmark,Sweden,Austria,Australia,Canada,Britain,the same thing is happening.
And they have started it here in the US too.
If it was any religion,say one called "nuntasi" and not islam,and if they came from the planet Mars,not from muslim countries,i would say the same thing:
they want to destroy us,....they muslt be destroyed.
And that goes for all of them,since they all read the quran and they all praise Allah,the god of death and destruction.
I, however,do not preach the killing of all muslims,no...they should all be sent home where they came from,and never permitted to return,to any western country.Stay there and leave us alone.
And if your quran tells you to opress your women,to chop hands and legs,to stone people to death...so what?! who cares?!...i don`t as long as you do it to each other and leave us out of it and as long as you don`t want to impose it on us.
I will never forget my first experience with a muslim person,one of my neighbours,a family of four(husband,wife and 2 children).The man was sometimes beating his wife ..one day he did it in the back yard,and i saw it happening.
I told him that he should slow down and take it easy with the poor woman;he did not respond,he just went inside the house.
His wife,however,told me to mind my own business,to leave the man alone for he is a muslim husband and he is supposed to beat his wife every now and then....
Not only they don`t protest it,they wellcome it,because it is written in the quran.
Fine,take your quran and go home,or if you are there,stay there!
God bless America.
Joseph wrote: "you are generalizing a entire religion".........speaking about us........
Joseph also wrote: "and for you to try and lump the entire religion and its followers as a whole as this global death horde that must be stopped or it will destroy america is just completely out there"..
Yet, Joseph wrote this: "i think all of you muslim ,christian, jew ,etc. are crazy. the reason i come to this site is i see very hateful and harmful language coming from the comment posters".
With this last paragraph of comments by Joseph, it appears that he can lump entire religions together, but no one else is permitted.
Well, Joseph, if you want to keep coming back for more, feel free. Your views make you a very big target. Hypocrite.....
Oh, I read Adela's post about the Muslim beating his wife.....Hope I never catch em' doin' that. Or it will kick a Muslim's "little rake" ass time.....
This seems to be a "beat up on joseph" thread.
As far as "... the acts of a minority ..." is concerned, silence from the "moderates" is tacit approval from the "moderates".
As far as immigration policy is concerned, any country has the right to do whatever it wants. If we want to deport anyone for any visa irregularities not the fault of the issuing authorities, we can and should.
We cannot ban Islam in the US unless we legally declare that it is not a religion - the First Amendment.
We could set up laws and policies based on reciprocity - have our laws mirror any other particular countries' (not an original idea of mine - Tom Clancy, _Debt of Honor_, trade policies with Japan).
I will use Saudi Arabia as an example for three reasons; it's a Muslim country, I'm most familiar with it, and it's REALLY easy.
Churches and mosques: Cannot do anything there - that pesky First Amendment again. 8^)
Immigration: we'll let in as many Saudis as they permit US immigrants. That's easy - none. S.A. with very few exceptions, does not permit immigration.
Schools: we'll let as many Saudis enroll in our public schools - grade, high, and college - as they permit foreigners to enroll in their schools. That's easy - none. S.A. does not permit any foreigners to enroll in their public schools. Why anyone would want to is a topic for another time.
Property ownership: we'll let as many Saudis buy property in the US as they permit foreigners to buy property in the Kingdom. That's also easy - none. Foreigners are ... oh, Hell. You guessed it.
Business ownership: we'll let ... Nevermind. You guessed it. To be fair, that's not quite true. You need a Saudi partner, who may only show up once a month for his cut. The multinational companies work through a Saudi owned distributor. These are basically monopolies. With few exceptions (Apple Computers is one of them), there's one distributor per company. For example, there's only one G.M. distributor, one Sony distributor, one Rolex distributor, one ... you get the idea. I'm pretty sure there's only one Intel distributor.
Conduct: Since Saudis treat foreigners like second class people, we can do the same. Actually if we treat the as equals, we are treating them as second class. Saudis are "special" and therefore entitled. Just ask them.
I won't go into work visas, tourist visas, or passport policies.
Now, how can it be unfair or Nazi-like to mirror another countries' policies toward us. I know. We are supposed to be better than that. Who said. The ones who say so are those who want to take advantage.
