What's that? "Jihad," you say? Never heard of it

When did Imad Yarkas misunderstand Islam, and how much did he misunderstand it?* "Al-Qaida's Suspected Leader in Spain Denies Founding Cell That Helped in Sept. 11 Attacks," from AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Al-Qaida's suspected leader in Spain denied Monday that he founded a radical Muslim cell accused of helping plot the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States. Imad Yarkas, a 42-year-old Syrian, said he had never heard of a group called Soldiers of Allah until he was arrested in November 2001 and read about the group in Spanish news reports.

"It is an invention," Yarkas said as he took the stand in the trial of 24 suspected al-Qaida members. "I have never heard of it, only in this investigation."

Yarkas is accused of directing a terrorist cell that allegedly provided logistical cover for Sept. 11 plotters, including Mohamed Atta, who is believed to have piloted one of the two hijacked planes that destroyed the World Trade Center towers....

Judge Baltasar Garzon has said the group was formed at a Madrid mosque in 1995, was led by Yarkas and affiliated itself with al-Qaida, eventually helping organize the suicide airliner attacks in the United States.

Yarkas was peppered with questions from prosecutor Pedro Rubira about his contacts with other defendants in the trial and suspected militants abroad. Yarkas insisted he knew them only as acquaintances who attended the same mosques.

*Yes, this is sarcasm.

Sweden is the next Islamic cell sanctuary:

Not sure if anyone caught Larry king last night but the bullsh*t from the Muslim guest was
enough to get him a show on the Comedy channel.
The man claimed that Islam shares the same values
as Judeism and Christianity,he failed to denounce the 911 hijacker as evil men destine to go to hell
at the point they died from the impact.

The taqiyya from this guy was amazing,not only did he stay mute on opinions of suicide bombers and Jihad,he repeated the usual tripe
about peace and how Jesus is revered by Muslims
because of the Quranic biography of his time on earth. The yahoo has been on the show before and it's the same lines that Hooper spews when he
hides behind Christians to look good after overt Jihad by Islamists blaming the Jews for the
worlds problems.

The non religious female guest argued that there is no God and the Tsunami proved it from the large numbers killed that could have been prevented.
Fortunately for her, God believes she exists.

The Muslims like Jesus the way a tick likes a warm, slow dog.

Why they even bring up his name when they don't follow a thing he ever said, dismiss and mock the Christian understanding of the 'Messiah's' entire ministry (relegating it to minor status beneath Mohammad 'the final prophet'), and make a joke of his sacrifice on the cross (saying that it was a substitute who died for him, because no truly sacred being would bother to suffer real death for humanity) can only be understood as:

stealing glory.

They want the power associated with this prophet, but none of the responsibility.

Thieves. Liars. Fools.

sococm,
Your video link is proof that tolerance is wasted on savages!

Muslim immigrants show complete disdain for the
non-Muslim culture of any country they move to.
Non Muslims have to obey Islamic rules in their countries. However the Muslims feel no such
obligation in non-Muslim countries. Europe's
passive all accepting attitude is going to be
the reason they will be living under Sharia
law in 20-30 years if not sooner.

Islam has a real problem with legitimacy, and thus keeps stressing that it is an Abrahamic religion and that they consider Christ a prophet, an islamic one of course.

Both meaningless in any real sense.

Without the 'legitimacy', islam would be perceived as the bs it truly is.

Rikki - interesting you've been trying to convert Lefties - I've been fighting a losing battle at Harry's Place. Have you been there at all, if you don't mind me asking?
