Somali jihadists open militia camp

Hello Mother... Hello Fathah... Greetings from Camp... Jihad fi sabil Allah.

Somali Jihad Update from the Hizballah News Agency, aka Reuters:

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's powerful Islamist movement opened a militia training camp on Wednesday with trainers from Eritrea, Afghanistan and Pakistan, witnesses said.

The presence of foreign trainers points to what many fear is a growing internationalization of a crisis that has split the Horn of Africa nation and threatened the slim authority of its interim government.

The Islamists' hardline leader, Shiekh Hassan Dahir Aweys, attended the opening of the camp for more than 600 Islamist militiamen at Hiilweyne, north of Mogadishu.

"You will study military tactics, because you will defend your country with Islamic morality," Aweys told the recruits.

Witnesses identified foreign trainers from Eritrea, Pakistan and Afghanistan at the camp.

Diplomats fear Somalia could become a proxy battleground for Ethiopia and Eritrea, and have said that more players like Libya, Iran and Egypt have quietly entered the fray.

Eritrea has long denied any involvement in Somalia, but a U.N. Security Council report said it has sent weapons to the Islamists repeatedly in a bid to frustrate rival Ethiopia.

Meanwhile, the Islamists said Ethiopian soldiers and a warlord ally of the government had taken a town along the Ethiopian border, stoking fears of new clashes.

In light of those developments, the leader of the Supreme Islamic Courts Council, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, has been quoted in an AP report as saying "Ethiopia is the Israel of the Horn of Africa."

No doubt they and their allies from around the ummah would like it to be "wiped off the map," as they do Israel.

I like Hugh's strategy of harnessing and re-directing the Nile's headwaters for agricultural purposes in Ethiopia. Engage the congressional black caucus to this effect.

Hello Mother... Hello Fathah...

Shouldn't that be "Hello martyr, hello Fatah"?

Once again, we see people from our "allies", Pakistan and Afghanistan training to kill us.

The World War continues unabated. I wonder if any of the Pakistani graduates will find their way into the Pakistani neighborhoods in America or Britain.

It is Islam that continues to promote war and death. It is often said, look around the world and see who is spreading hate, war, and violence.

It is the mother of all plagues know as Islam. I think that valiant attemps at ground warfare such as Iraq or Afghanistan show little promise of stemming the flow of blood. It will take more than our effort.

It has been proven that negotiations do not work, appeasment does not work, treaties do not work, and trade agreements do not work.

Many posters say "nuke em". Sadly, it may be that millions must die before the blood thirsty Muslims are stopped. There can be no doubt it can be done. Do we continue to wait for the "big one" to be delivered first by the Muslims?

Some are concerned about Iran developing Nukes. Iran already has nukes. At least three nuclear warheads were purchased in 1991 from Russia and smuggled through Turkey with Turkish complicity.. All Iran needed was a delivery system. Since June, at least two ships have delivered ballistic missiles to Iran from Korea. This has been documented. THe US has monitored the ships and photographed the unloading procedures. This is why Ahmadinejad seems so confident. He already has the warheads and now he has the missiles capable of launching them.

Tel Aviv no doubt will be one of the targets, Haifa may be another. Two nuclear blasts in two of the largest Israeli cities will certainly demoralize Israel. Iran can then attack with a ground force to mop up any survivors. Other possible targets include a major European city or Great Britain. Iran may have secret pacts with Russia, China or Korea regarding possible retalitory senarios if the US counterattacks.

As the days darken, I believe a first strike seem more plausible.

I have stated many times, we should be very closely any Muslims in our countries and be ready to fight them. One day they will get the call to arise and fight. There is no doubt they have been arming themselves and have been making battleplans to be executed on the homefront.

The world has never seen battles like the ones that loom on the horizon.

Islam must be destroyed and the evil text Qur'an eliminated from the planet. Islam is a plague that destroys mens minds and devastates the land it occupies. Islam is plague that has a mind, it can travel at will and can conceal itself until it is ready to strike. We have identified the carrier to be Muslims, the cure is death to Muslims. Unfortunately millions may have to die before the plague is abated.

Pray for the valiant soldiers in Iraq and around the world who face the Muslim gautlet.

Never trust Muslims, they lie and deceive. They only want your land and your life.

Only death stops them.

It is no longer a question of IF Iran attacks, the question is WHEN Iran attacks.

Nothing new in that. Search LGF for "summer camp" and browse through the numerous relevant matching entries.

Sarge - I think you've got it about right.

A_Plague_on_Both_Houses | August 24, 2006 12:23 PM

exsgtbrown - I agree - Islam is a plague on both houses. The house of islam and the house of war.
Muslims are the first and primary victims of Submission but this doesn't excuse them.

Sadly, many people will have to die in both houses. It is the pestilence of mind and soul which will soon be the #2 killer of mankind (behind smallpox) for all time. But anything short of a true catharsis will not kill it off. Humans are stiff-necked, brutish and forgetful. They are stupid, not having learned from the past and are also insane, since we try the same things over and over to solve the problem, but expect different results 'this time'.

Islam is a plague on both houses and this isn't going to go away until the vectors are expunged. All vectors... including the source of it all and the objects of fetish, along with true believers.

Hello Mother... Hello Fathah...
Shouldn't that be "Hello martyr, hello Fatah"?

Well, if you're gonna get picky, why not

Hello Mullah, Hello Fatah
Here I am at Camp Jihada

GreatShaitan | August 24, 2006 1:02 PM

And actually, what is so bad about this? Isn't it dar better that the Jihadis congregate in one place so its easier to send them some Cruise missle lovin' and mop them up with troops we put in Eritrea?
