Italy downplays Al-Qaeda Christmas Threat

Maybe A-Q will launch the attack from the Islamic Republic of France. "Terrorism: Italy Downplays Al-Qaeda Christmas Threat," from AKI, with thanks to Kemaste:

Rome, 7 Nov. (AKI) - A new message threatening Italy with attacks involving surface-to-air missiles or poisonous substances has appeared on Islamic internet forums linked to the al-Qaeda terror network. The threat is made under the name of Sayf al-Adel, one of al-Qaeda's main leaders, who disappeared after the US invasion of Afghanistan and who, experts believe, is currently in hiding or in prison in Iran. However, Italian interior minister Giuseppe Pisanu played down the threat, saying there was no cause for excessive alarm.

Both the title and the content of the message make reference to a news story reported a couple of weeks ago, about rumours that Osama bin Laden had been killed in the earthquake which struck Pakistani Kashmir last month.

The title of the message talks of "good news which, God willing, will arrive soon from the land of the Romans". This comes "from your brother Sayf al-Adel to all those who have said that Sheikh Osama bin Laden died in the Pakistan earthquake, was arrested or fell ill," the statement says.

The militant then states that "these reports are only the fruit of a media war. Sheikh Osama bin Laden is well and in a safe place, and we will soon see him during the Christmas holidays in the land of the Romans, after the next attack in Europe, which will primarily regard Italy."

The message suggests that Italy or another European country is due to be attacked around Christmas and that such an attack will be immediately followed by a message from Osama bin Laden. It has been almost a year since the last audio message attributed to the al-Qaeda leader appeared, and more than a year since he made his last video message.

The message on the forum goes on to provide details of what form the attack on Italy might take. In particular it talks of the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade as the operative cell due to 'take care of' Italy.

"You will see the attacks of the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades at the heart of the country," the message continues. "The brothers who are there have assured us that the Brigades have managed to get hold of surface-to-air missiles from Chechnya and these missiles were used last year in the attacks against airports in Great Britain. They have also managed to obtain a quantity of poisonous material to create bombs. God willing, there will be no security in the land of the Romans and the war will be long."...

On Monday, the Italian interior minister downplayed the importance of the message, saying it was very short and ungrammatical and "the author could be a Jihadist net surfer who closely follows the European news regarding political violence and draws on it for his message."

It is time to arm the Swiss guards with a B2 stealth bomber. Any attack occuring on Vatican soveriegn territory should be responded with an attack on Mecca with extreme prejudice.

At the end of the day all the Muslim double speak will come down to this, and sooner than most would like to believe. That is, either you reel in the so-called fundamentalist minority within your own group or become guilty by association. This is the primary media hoax in regard to the fascist arm of Islam: That the radicals are just a small minority -“really”- I think not! Even if by mere numbers they represent a minority within the group, they are holding the entire body hostage through intimidation. Believe it!

The majority of Muslims are allowing and in many ways supporting the fundamentalists to do their bidding. They turn to the religion as a convenient way of appearing benign and / or appalled to the violent acts of a few. They wrap themselves safely behind the double-blind escutcheon of being “devout Muslims” and the protectionism of Western laws and sensibilities. It’s all part of the plan…we must awaken to the truth of the situation and ignore the media bias and PC brouhaha…The Islamic-Trojan Horse is no longer outside the gate of the Western World.

For those Muslims and proponents of Islam that just think I am talking out the other end, I offer the following: I have been embedded in my local Islamic Center as a false-convert for several years since 911. A Syrian with refuge status in the US initiated me to the community. I had known the Syrian for about a year as we both worked in an industry that attracts many Arab immigrants. I had his trust and thus moved quickly to establish acceptance with dozens of Muslims families.

Trust me, the above outline is but a tame and limited explanation as to the current state of affairs in regard to Islamic Imperialist desires. I encourage others to see this firsthand by using similar techniques to embed themselves in their local Islamic Centers throughout the Western World…It may take a while as everyone in the beginning is on their best behavior and utterly suspect of your motivations. Be patient and you will be exposed to just what the Wahabbists have in mind for your and my future.

They believe you are stupid…they believe you are gullible…They believe you are the root of all that is wrong with their thousand year old vision of the way the world should be. They have contempt for you that has been beat into them from conception. Go see for yourself! They will smile to your face as they lie again and again, and then invoke their “Holier than Thou” stance to justify it all…believe it! They do! Infiltrating the Jihadists at the source of their community is the only way to turn the table in real-time. All is fair…after all this is Jihad. All glory to God!

An xmas message from dear old bin laden himself, how quaint and festive, will he be wearing a santa hat? But seriously now, the queen of England really gonna have to trump that, I thought that she was the "queen" of xmas messages! cough..sorry, but really you gotta laugh!

Keep up the good work JW!!!!!!!

"They have also managed to obtain a quantity of poisonous material to create bombs. God willing, there will be no security..."
-- AQ press release

The above statement pretty much gives you a solid reading on what Islam is all about.

PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH PBUH

The very act of being a Moslem is an aggressive act against innocent folk.

Islam is a criminal organization that should be outlawed.

All Moslems over 12 years of age should publicly apologize for the severe irresponsibility of engaging in Islam.

All Moslems should make restitution by serving community service. The community service assignment is to walk to the nearest seaport, picking up gutter trash along the way.

Be sure to pack your things. This will be a one-way trip back to Dar al-Harb.

Dammit. Dar al-Islam.

He's dreaming of a white powder Christmas, with every Christmas card he writes....

It's so nice to see UBL thinking of his un-Muslim buddies in Rome...

But remember -- this is the same guy that promised his faithful that he would die in the "belly of the Eagle" in 2003 -- wuh happen? He seems to be speaking with a slight bit of hyperbole these days...

Thousands of left-wing protesters chanting anti-American slogans have clashed with police and set dozens of shops ablaze at the start of a delayed state visit by US President Bill Clinton to Athens.

The Iraqi people are showing they want FREEDOM [I am Proud of them] and will have it because they are willing to Fight For it!!

REMEMBER the MSM, LIB”S

Why would the Italians play this up? The French won't. In truth, if it weren't for Robert Spencer and his merry band, would anybody in America stand up to nightly firebombings in our suburbs?

We must remember that the French are in denial, which stands for DON'T EVEN KNOW I AM LYING.

If I remember correctly, it took them several years to get the memo about the French Revolution and a lot of people had to die before they did anything about those "citizen" pychos.

I wish St. Louis were here. He'd do something about this nonsense.

Take it with grain of salt perhaps, but DEBKA suggests al-Qaeda is behind the French riots.

Italy has been spared so far. Why? Is it only a matter of time?
Whenever I walk around Florence I feel uncomfortable, I am looking over my shoulders, I walk much faster than I used to, instead of looking at the magnificent buildings I look out for ME-types, I'm looking for bags left on the street, I avoid garbage bins and frankly, I avoid eating in restaurants out in the open.

A place that I used to enjoy going to has become a worry.

Mass- deportations are the only way to restore the peace of mind of tourists, business-travelers and residents alike.
But when will any European polit-swine come out and name the enemy, let alone fight it?

Charles Martel
I'll leave the 'grain of salt' - there is nothing
spontaneous about building a bomb factory or using guns and timing the riots all over France.
Jacky Chirac must be shitting his pants. Having embraced Arafat [yuk) and every Muslim he meets particularly those with large wallets, condemned'Great Satan' for war in Iraq, there is no hole left for the corrupt bugger to hide in unlike his friend Saddam Hussein....

" downplayed the importance of the message"?! WTF?! I am so sick of the politicians and the MSM conspiring to keep us in the dark, patting our heads and saying "don't woryy children we'll take care of the big bad terrorists, they're just rioting out of poverty and racism. We'll pay the jizya and make them leave."

They can't keep it up forever.

All the good that Mr Spencer and Hugh do, is undone by the rhetoric of most of the posters.

Step back and read yourself (if you can without singing Halleluah) and then compare the tenor of the posts here, with that of the Muslims on their websites, and pretending (if you can) that you have just visited this world and not part of the melee, if you can tell the difference?

Most of the posters here sound just like the Muslims on their sites..it is the rhetoric and rants the adamant, vehement, self righteous and threatening nature of same, not the theology and scriptures.

Not a way at all, not an effective way, of winning allies and pulling people over to "your side".

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and sadly the new right, not the right of my youth, are the most divisive exclusionists I've seen in my time.

Nariz,

There is a difference. We are not going into Moslem neighborhoods and giving them a choice of a) conversion, b) slavery or c) death. We don't operate like that. And is it self-righteousness, or extreme frustration that as a people who believe in self government, we cannot get our elected officials to listen to our fears and concerns about this growing threat? It's like we are screaming at the top of our lungs that the emperor has no clothes on, but the people in charge either don't see or don't care. They keep us in place with their cries of "tolerance", which is just another way of saying to shut up and look the other way when one group of people is protected in doing what you yourself could be arrested for. I've never been that kind of girl and I never will be.

I am not interested in killing, torturing or enslaving Moslems, in my country or in theirs'. I am not interested in oppressing them in any way. But our two cultures do not mesh and I'm sorry to hurt anyone's feelings but this is my country and they are coming into it, not the other way around. If they are offended by the way we live they shouldn't come here. But that's not the point, is it? They come here, not because they want a better life but because they eventually want us to live their life, whether we want to or not.

I am interested in defending my country and my family against those who want to destroy my way of life, my ability to own private property, my childrens' futures, my choice (as a woman) as to how I will earn a living, when I will go out of my house, who my friends are and most importantly, Who and how I will worship.

The time has come for Americans to ask ourselves, where is the courage and non-conformist mentality that made our forefathers willing to take a huge risk against insurmountable odds and build a country unlike any other the world has ever seen? I know we are not what we used to be and I know political correctness, liberalism, narcissistic indifference and the like have changed us and eroded our once proud and shining city on the hill. But as long as there is one person who is willing to stand up and say, give me liberty or give me death, there is hope.

If I rant it is because I'm trying to find a way to deal with a situation that I cannot ignore and will be forced to choose a side for. I know what side I must choose. I only wonder if anyone will stand with me or if I will stand alone.

Isabellathecrusader- Ditto to your sentiment. It's too bad that the situation has come to this point. We are planning to defend ourselves. Fortunately we are not facing this scourge unarmed as are the Europeans and Australians.

In response to this topic, everyone should do a seach for the song "Osama Got Run Over By a Reindeer"
