We apologize for the brief interruption

Jihad Watch was temporarily off-line, ironically because the site was just upgraded to handle more data and bandwidth.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

And therewith a perfect example of the cognitive dissonance between what we read every day regarding the barbarity of jihad and the overwhelming amount of propaganda foisted on us from elitists whose constant refrain is "islam is peaceful."

It is a good sign that Jiahdwatch need more bandwith, because it probaly means more people come here.

Way to Go we ARE WINNING!! Americans are removing the sleep from their eyes we will not live in fear and we will for give ourselfs like in WW2 we are our Grand Parents.

If you read the artical about jimmy the Marine just to put you right this one who was convicted already by the U.S.Marines this past year.the story is in a uk paper and they are trying to pull a tailhook on the Marines wont work. Story by Natasha Saulnier. If her Story were true this guy would have had to be in serval unit-es at the same time with 2 different reporters. Saw a lot of the video feed during the war in march on fox and msmbc

I think the bandwidth is for the Video-streaming,or in the case of Nick Berg Video-screaming. Jihadists need pictures to learn things so I doubt the upgrade is for room to

KNOW ISLAM - NO PEACE

I propose we fight jihad with threat of retaliation in addition to our proactive fighting. Recall during the cold war, we had a policy of MAD (Mutual Assurded Destruction) with the Soviets. If either side attacked, total destruction was assured with the 10,000 or so nukes pointed at each side. This MAD doctrine prevented WWIII at that time.

We all know that the jihadists do not care about their own lives, so threats of death will not deter them from attacking us. However, what if we announced, that if they try another 9-11 attack on America, or her close allies, that we will employ AD (Assurded Destruction) We will target the one thing they hold sacred, their holy cities, and holy sites.

It amazes me how worked up these nut case muslims get over one small nick in a mosque from a stray bullet, or even a visit by an Isreali Prime Minister.

Let's do one better, and tell the world that if America suffers another terror attack, we will let the full wieght of our nuclear arsenal come down on what they hold sacred, tell them that mecca, and that rock they bow to five times a day will be nuked, along with all their other holy cities.

How will osama take that, trade a hijacking, or other terror attack for complete annilation of say 50 or so muslim cities, including mecca? Yeah sure Saudi Arabia is our ally (snicker, snicker) the heck with them, nuck mecca, and we will see who rules. That will pretty much destroy most muslims belief in their fake god. After all who could believe in a god that would allow all of his holy cities to be nuked, wiped of the map, and gone forever?

We really do not have a saudi ally anyway, they suport the radicals, and have all those madrasas training kids to blow themselves up anyway.

This would I think would be the best way to protect Americans, and her close allies from more terror attacks.

We could just dare them, and see if they act or not.

We must also continue the war aginst them in iraq, iran, sryia, even n. korea (which although not muslin, is an exporter of arms to them). we must do everything possible to prevent them from getting a nuke. My biggest fear is the not too distant future when iran gets the bomb, or radicals take over pakistains nuclear arsenal. then we would be subject to nuclear blackmail. Let's get them before they get us, and let them know they will loose it all if they dare attack us again. I figure we maybe only have a few years before the jihadist get a nuke, and then it will be too late. We must act now to save ourselves.

I say blast them.
