Roadblock jihad in Algeria, possibly courtesy "the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat," which seems to lay more stress on the latter than on the former. From the BBC, with thanks to Skeetstreet:
Suspected Islamic militants in Algeria have killed at least 14 people at a fake roadblock near Algiers.A group of gunmen stopped cars near the town of Larba, about 30km (18 miles) south of the capital, forcing the passengers out and shooting them dead....
Thursday's attack came after President Abdelaziz Bouteflika told Algerians that security had been "largely restored across the country".
Beware politicians who tell you the strife is o'er, the battle's done against the global jihad. The jihadists consider themselves to be the latest warriors in a 1,400-year-old conflict. They are not likely to give up easily.
Officials believe the ambush may have been carried out by members of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) - which the authorities had previously described as defeated....In recent years most attacks have been blamed on the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which is allegedly linked to al-Qaeda.
Mr. Spencer!
"...allegedly linked to Al-Qarda." (!!)
I will have you know that one knowledgeable young Muslim posting from the U.K. under the Type Key ID
ia786 has told me in no uncertain terms that:
"Al-Qaeda is a myth created by the fat cats pulling the strings" in the West.
You SHOULD be asking:
Who are these fat cats and why are they killing people at fake roadblacks in Algieria?
Was Dick Cheney noticed in North Africa buying a burnoose lately?
And were any of the gunmen wearing spiked high heels under their djellebah,
and perhaps talking in an African American woman's voice. Maybe about rice?
Such racist disinformation and Islamophobia!
Next you'll be saying Mohammad (peanut butter and jelly be upon him) married a 6 year old girl!
All of Islam awaits your apology!
And the fat cats are lapping it up.
Ahh yes....
Yet another Islamic Revival Meeting.
Bigsleep,
You have praised me enough for now. By the way it is spelled Al-Qaeda, not Al-Qarda.
"The Power of Nightmares examines how politicians have used our fears to increase their power and control over society. It looks at the American neo-conservative movement and its depiction of the threat first from the Soviet Union and then from radical Islamists"
This is a must see program brought to you by the BBC.
Here is a link
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1037.htm
You can find can find clips of the documentary online easily. Did you know that No Al-Qaeda fighters were found in Afghanistan, None what so ever. There has been a media blank out of this. Did you know that the guys, OBL has in his videos (Balaclava wearing terrorist) are paid to be in them.
The threat is not from OBL, but the Wahabi/Salafi strongholds. You will find that most fanatics follow this school of thought. Why was Afghanistan attacked when it is the Gulf countries that fund and spread this fanatical version of Islam? You want to defeat Extremism, cut off the source.
BigSleep, that is one of the best lines I've seen!
( Next you'll be saying Mohammad (peanut butter and jelly be upon him) married a 6 year old girl!)
Resister,
You seem to be very confused. You seem to have great prejudice against Islam and Muslims. According to you in Islam
'Men are scum if they do not pray seven times a day and beat their wives in between'
I don't know where you learnt this from, you have got the wrong end of the stick. You need to wake up and 'resist' the brain washing of Zionists and Islamaphobes, they have turned you into a complete zombie. I encourage you to understand true Islam, it is far from what you have been taught.
'No one can ever be happy practicing the evils of islam'
How do you know this, are you a Muslim? Why is it that there are a billion Muslims in the World. If Islam hasn't brought happiness to them then why are they still Muslims. By the Way Muslims pray 5 times a day, not 7.
Resister, your Islamaphobic ranting only tarnishes the reputation of this site. This site has been made in order to distinguish the Wahabi/Salafi threat. Your intolerant and Islamaphobic views are not necessary.
God Bless
ia786,
I blogged on your favoUrite program before it came out.
You are deluded. Al Qaeda is just one (of many) Islamic jihadist organizations. Al Qaeda is just a brand name. It became a large brand during the 1990's, culminating in 9/11 and Zarqawi's terrorists in Iraq. But Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Ikhwan, Takfir, ad infinitum, all share the same goal - global Islamic dominance.

What does it matter how I spell "Al-Qaeda", if it doesn't exist? (I was probably hungry and thinking of a "qaesadilla", when I made the insignificant typo. QED.)
Meanwhile-
I have a "fat cat" on my lap as I type. Her name is Circe, like The Odyssey's charmer. She disapproves of 53 year old human men sleeping with 9 year old virgin girls. She finds that to be less than the model for the 'perfect man'.
If a 'felis catus' can figure this out, surely a nice U.K. member of the "it's-all-the-fault-of-someone-else-eternal-excusing-making-machine" can get it?
(No Amish or Mormons or Shintoists or Bahais or African Methodists or Wiccans or Hassidim or Moonies are chopping people to bits.)
Skirt-chaser former President Clinton was publicly warning of the "Bin Laden Network" (AKA: Al Qaeda) in the mid-1990's, so I guess they forgot to tell him it was all a 'myth'.
(Maybe he had a thong stuck in his ears and didn't hear the news?)
Carolyn2-
I was just seeing all these (pbuh)'s and it dawned on me that it looked a lot like PB&J.
And that it couldn't hurt to coat such a sour old sura-spewing sot with something sweeter.
ANYTHING would be an improvement.
Especially on his shameless denigration of women to 'half-the-worth-of-a-man'.
Using 'logic' as lame as the laughable 'circular' type used by early Church Fathers for their breezy relegating of women to the status of sanctified serfs:
"Is it not true...?"- as soon as you hear that teleological trap being set, run for the philosophical hills!
ia666-
The Wahhabis in Saudi are next, don't worry.
You can't grind up an entire pig with one crank of the handle.
The terrorist groups you mention, you think that they all have the same objective, global Islamic dominance. You fail to understand the Muslim World. The Muslim World is very diverse and complex. To begin with there are many different kinds of Muslims. To begin with Islamic Extremists seen in the World today are mainly from the Wahabi/Salafi sect. Whether it is in Chechnya or Bosnia, you will see a Saudi hand involved. Now Hezbollha is a Shia group, its aim was to fight the occupation of Lebanon. Now Wahabis consider Shia Muslims as Kafirs. Wahabis consider Sunnis as a deviant sect.
Did you know before the US attacked Afghanistan, Iran was considering attacking it. Iran was sick and tired of the Wahabis meddling at their borders (Taliban were Wahabis funded by the Saudis)
How can these extremists fight for global dominance when they cannot even control the Muslim world. The attacks in Iraq now are not done by Al-Qaeda, but by Iraqi Sunni fighters. There was no Al-Qaeda in Iraq before the war and there is no presence of it now.
Big Sleep,
Could you please refrain from addressing me as ia666, I prefer ia786.
Thank you.
Yes, I long for the day the stronghold of Wahabism is destroyed.
God Bless
Time for some more preaching and less combat or someone might get the impression Islam isn't the religion of peace!
There are no al-Qarda fighters in Iraq now?
So Sunnis Iraqis are killing other Iraqis? Why? Is there something wrong with voting?

Getting tiresome, but most of this is true.
Wahhabis consider themselves to be the true Sunni Muslims. Salafism is a back-to-basics approach to Sunni Islam.Muslims fight each other all the time. One thing most extremists agree on is destroying the infidel. Muslim culture is so focused on combat, when there are no true infidel to fight they call one another infidel for a target.
I wish the sum total of your knowledge on the goals of various jihadist groups wasn't based on one silly BBC program. Hezbollah's stated goal is to destroy the U.S. Al Qaeda's stated goal is to destroy the U.S. I'm sure as a typically brainwashed European, that's your goal also.
Have fun in the Caliphate!
'Wahhabis consider themselves to be the true Sunni Muslims. Salafism is a back-to-basics approach to Sunni Islam.'
Wahabis do consider themselves to be the true Sunnis, Wahabis have distorted the true Islam, they have used the Quran and Sunnah to meet their own needs. When the Muslim World finally realised the threat from the Wahabis they were exposed. A stench is now associated with the word Wahabi so now these same people adopt the name, Salafi. By this name they wish to deceive Muslims into thinking they have nothing to do with Wahabism and that they are only following the footsteps of the pure companions of the Prophet, their thinking and ideology is still the same.
'Hezbollah's stated goal is to destroy the U.S. Al Qaeda's stated goal is to destroy the U.S. I'm sure as a typically brainwashed European, that's your goal also.'
Come on, there’s no need for prejudice. Just because most Europeans don't back support the US Government, does this mean they wish to see the US destroyed? You are not being realistic. Take France for example, they opposed the Iraq war, they were attacked by Americans, on the net now you can find many Racist websites mocking the French. Is this necessary?

Did you know that the Moslem pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca is really from ancient pagan Sabean’s. Their ancient paganism rituals included the pilgrimage to Mecca, in order to circle the Ka’aba 7 times and then kiss it. Pilgrims then run to the Wadi Mina to throw stones at the Devil. These rituals were preformed 1500 years before Mohammad.
And are a requirement of Mohammadanism today. Pagans worshiped facing toward Mecca before Mohammad’s time, The god Sin “the controller of the night” had the crescent moon as his symbol and a lunar based calendar. He was worshiped in Arabia as AI-Ilah, the Moon God, the “Lord of the Ka’aba” which was formerly the center of pagan worship. The crescent moon is an Islamic symbol to this day. You will find Mohammadanism to be nothing more than an ancient Astral religion, with a little old, new testament for easier palatability.
This person ia786 is an imposter, a fake. What better way for an egotist to get attention than to pose as a Muslim on Jihad watch or to stir up controversy on various websites...
Ia786:
How do you know this, are you a Muslim? Why is it that there are a billion Muslims in the World. If Islam hasn't brought happiness to them then why are they still Muslims.
You wrote this on an earlier post. I have an answer for you. Isn't it part of Sharia law to murder apostates? Perhaps there are billions of muslims hoping to get out of the religion, but are afraid of getting killed.
ia786:
So praying more than 5 times aday is a sin in the eyes of Allah?
