Even if the threat is empty, it is not issued in vain: it is issued to inspire fear. For that is part of the program of the mujahedin: "Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies..." (Qur'an 8:60). That this is part, if not all, of the motivation in issuing this threat is indicated by the title, "New Attack on America Be Afraid."
An AP story by Lara Jakes Jordan (thanks to LGF):
WASHINGTON - A Web site is claiming that seven NFL football stadiums will be hit with radiological dirty bombs this weekend, but the government on Wednesday expressed doubts about the threat.The warning, posted Oct. 12, was part of an ongoing Internet conversation titled "New Attack on America Be Afraid." It mentioned NFL stadiums in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland, where games are scheduled for this weekend.
The Homeland Security Department alerted authorities and stadium owners in those cities, as well as the NFL, of the Web message but said the threat was being viewed "with strong skepticism." Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said there was no intelligence that indicated such an attack was imminent, and that the alert was "out of an abundance of caution."
"The department strongly encourages the public to continue to go about their plans, including attending events that involve large public gatherings such as football games," Knocke said.
UPDATE: Jawa Report has discovered that the threats do not come from a jihadist site, as LGF had initially reported.
Good, good. Keep the threats coming. I haven't noticed any new names on this board for a while now.
The more threats that muzlims make, the more westerners grow to despise them. The more we despise them, the sooner we expel them.
You see, there's a silver lining in every cloud.
Terrorists never warn before they attack. The element of surprise is the only thing that gives a terrorist attack a chance of being successful.
The people that send in these threats are the same net loonies that send threats to Robert, or to anyone who has an anti-jihad site. Threats only require a keyboard. We all have keyboards.
I think we have a whole set of lunatics that need to be put away for the safty of our children. I hope FBI will find this idiot or idiots soon and make him/her an example. As that Mohd guy went around shooting in Wash, it could be another Mohd posting threats. Lets round'em up and ship'em away. Off you GO back to Muslimstan.
"Even if the threat is empty, it is not issued in vain: it is issued to inspire fear."
No one can trust or really respect that which inspires fear, that which does not command the loyalty that comes from trust and respect. Trust and respect are the basis of love. Muslim-belief-system believers are hollow at the core. Do they really think that God needs them to kill and make the unbelievers fear? Do they think God is a childish bully like them?
Perhaps God is as bored with the Muslim-belief-system as are so many unbelievers, perhaps God is tired of the obvious mental illness of this bizarre belief-system. The Muslim Mideast will one day be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust and who will really care when they remember these threats?
I can imagine nothing else that will send ordinary non-Muslim Americans into a paroxysm of retribution more than terrorism at a football game or anywhere thousands of American come together to enjoy life.
Would I condemn any American who does so? I'll have to think about it.
If someone offered you a ticket, would you go? Would you take the kids?
Well, I think that it is really odd that CNN picked up on this story, but they have completely ignored credible reports of nuclear devices that have been smuggled into the country.
Perhaps they are trying to lull the American public into a false sense of security with a non-credible report...

This threat is meant to scare people, as most terrorist attacks happen without much warning, unless you believe in black holicopters. To those who go to watch football go eat some real good hotdogs and drink good beer, takes away any muslim threat.
TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THEM . . .
. . . FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL (Time)
Here we are watching the "Twilight of Western Civilization," as witnesses and nothing more. "Europe is lost," we say with regret. "Eurabia" is the catch-phrase for that loss.
France? "Well," we say smugly, "You know those French. Give up without a fight." (We've had comments here from French people showing that they deplore what is happening in their country and that--as well as is happening here in the United States--the government does not reflect the feelings of the country's citizens.
So we watch the passing parade, the jihad unrolling before our eyes. We deplore it, we shout until we are hoarse, hoping that our fellow citizns and--fat chance--somebody in our government reads this stuff here and does something about it.
If we're only going to watch, the jihad will go on--and it WILL win. We here do not want that.
Now, big SURPRISE (not) there is something that we--every one of us--can do to stop Islam from takimng over our world.
WHAT IS IT? A couple of years ago, Hugh Fitzgerald (praised be his name!) came up with ACTIONS that we all can take to make the Islamicizers's job more difficult. Until somebody (me) can find that and reprint it, there IS something that can be done.
What is proposed is based on bitter experience. It will SHOCK some of you and HORRIFY others. It is the most politically incorrect strategy of de-Islamicization and reversal of Islam's advances that I have ever come across.
It is too long to take up space here. But it's all there for you to see at http://islamic-danger.blogspot.com/2006/10/more-drastic-times-call-for-more-18.html
Go there and see what you think.
[NOTE: Iam NOT doing this to promote the blog. The message is what I would like any jihad-watcher to see, ponder, and think about how it can be fitted in under our present laws.]
Also, look at the whole de-Islamization program at http://islamic-danger.blogspot.com in the most recent posts. [Click on "unicorns62000" below and it will take you there.]
I don't know anyone who will skip a game because of a muslim threat. The games will sell out. Let us think about this, many hundreds of thousands of fans, many rednecks and most drinking. Yeah, I would attack them, good plan, do you people have brains? You muslim cowards worry about backlash everytime a muslim does anything. If I were a muslim I would move before the games, just in case the threat is real. Go to France, you will be safe there. Attack a game, that is rich.
Nuclear weapons are not the real threat , dirty
bombs are.
Given the psyche of the religion of peace`s
adherents evident cowardice the use of one is more
likely.
They need to be understand the use of one will
result in the same outcome.....
Iran and Syria as two smouldering craters visible
from the space station.
This is the only thing these imbeciles might
understand , not just absorbing huge loss of life but total annihilation.
Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot,what if
the west had no nuclear weapons and all the Islamic countries had them.
Israel bye bye !
Great Britain bye bye !
America bye bye !
Want a laugh? This is just dripping with irony.

You have more of a chance of an imam admitting mohammad was a pedophile than you do of this threat being true.
I remember back in the upper Midwest, during the first Gulf War, being at a college basketball game. Several hippies decided to make a go at the court to say something. As they neared the bleachers, a man stepped out of the stands and, with one right hook to the face, knocked the first hippie out. The others went away after that.
Could you imagine what would happen at the Oakland Coliseum?
The what if question of the day would be if any FD anywhere would try and save a mosque surrounded by 100,000 pissed off fans. Or would they add wood and grin?
I feel it's better to be alert and aware, than just be caught by surprise. I pray to Jesus nothing comes of this.
I did read this article on Doctor Bulldog's site from WND: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52460
Let these blowhards make their threats.
NFL.com has not issued any warnings on this issue.
How about threatening to use dirty bombs on the seven biggest mosques in the US? That would probably be more credible.
Threats from bullies, real or feigned,
hatred, brutal murders, whatever the game,
it's all the same. It's mohammed,
it's allah, it's islam knocking at our door.
The whore of babylon bows before them,
the black rock burns in the flames of hell.
I for one could care less about nfl football, anymore. But if there was an attack what would that do to the salery cap?
This wouldn't be the first time stadia full of people were targetted, to wit from the JW archives:
Soccer jihad on April 20, 2004 http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/001638.php
and Joel Hinrichs blowing himself up outside the stadium in Oklahoma in October (perhaps late September) 2005 that prompted the university officials to institute add'l security measures.
Also, remember the group of muslim men who went to "find a place to pray" in Detroit at some sporting event? Some believed they may have been scoping out the place as they were in an area that was not a public area.
"Iran and Syria as two smouldering craters visible from the space station" alladinsaine57
Love your description. Made me giggle.
I've been reading a lot of threats lately. We have N Korea and their threats of war AND the comments that the world would see who survives, us or them within 7 days. Sounds like they expect something big to happen to us OR that they are going to participate in something bad happening to us. Of course, they could be delusional.
Japan is uncomfortable and rightly so. Our best buds the Australians have really stood by us and I would expect that they would contribute to any military action in the Pacific.
We have ships in Japan with anti-ballistic missiles ready to launch.
On the other side of the globe, there's a huge deployment of ships from various nations off the coast of Lebanon - supposedly to keep watch.
The NUCLEAR carrier Eisenhower left port on October 5 (for the first time in 7 years - it had been undergoing an upgrade) and is due to arrive in the Persian Gulf on the 21 of October - along with minesweeping ships (the day before Ramadan ends).
They are supposed to replace the Enterprise. If the Enterprise leaves on the 21st (they have been there for 6 months) then maybe nothing much is up. If the Enterprise stays, watch out.
As for the online islamic threats, there have been threats on 7 cities but they were for LA, Vegas, Houston, Miami, Washington DC, New York and Chicago. So some of the cities quoted now are not the same. Hmmmmm
Al Qaeda threatened an attack on the US during Ramadan - which ends on the 22nd. If they fail, then they fail before the whole of the arab world.
Syria is stirring the pot in Lebanon and by all accounts are still supplying Hezbollah with weapons. Israel feels that Syria is planning an attack.
I think it is very possible that Syria and Iran will attack Israel and Iraq (with the help of the Madhi army) at the same time we are under some kind of attack - possibly by N Korea and cell groups.
Hope I'm wrong.
Reminds me of that '77 disaster clunker, Black Sunday, which was inspired by the previous year's clunker Two Minute Warning.
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is able to save to the uttermost all who call upon Him.
Anyone else a little uneasy about the letter Imanutjob sent to President Bush a while back, exhorting him to turn to islam?
According to what I've read, the muslim must first give his enemy a chance to convert. After this is done, he can attack the infidel with all the glorious blessings of allah.
Hopefully it's nothing more than the typical puffery and bluster that seems to be a universal characteristic of muslims.
Ronin, because you asked; I checked with a bookie for the odds of violent response among the various fan bases in the case of a dirty bomb attack. Here’s the numbers:
Oakland Raiders (1.2:1)
New York Jets (even)
Atlanta Falcons (2.3:1)
Houston Texans (2.7:1)
Cleveland Browns (3.1:1)
Miami Dolphins (4.5:1)
Seattle Seahawks (68:1)
He included a long-shot in case you’re feeling lucky; the Washington Redskins at (265:1).
l just read the list of cities where it is claimed they would face dirty bombs.. guess what Detroit is not on that list.. boy do l feel safer now lol..
The Goobs, I would think if all the happened, every hatch on every sub would blow, missles fill the sky, we win. Israel is safe, NK is gone, Leb, SA, Iran, Sudan, gone, Pakistan, partually gone, same with some of Afghanistan. Mosques a burning heep in the US, Can and the UK, worldwide roundup and mass killings of muslims or internment camps. WE win and the last large group of muslim left will be in France (we would not save them). All in all not a bad days work and we still have thousands of missiles, planes and ships with more nukes. God Bless America.
Robert the Great-
Got your book today, mailed from Amazon. Funny, I had preordered it(a month ago)and my order got canceled because I did not authorize the renewal of the original order. That happened because I ignored e-mail from Amazon that indicated I had to reauthorize the order. I thought they were advertisements. So Amazon canceled the first order because I did not reorder the book. So I reordered the book after the first order was canceled because I did not reorder it, but I did not reorder the first order, but made a brand new order for the book.
It was annoying. I thought that when a book is preordered and paid for-that's it. Apparently, that's not it.
So I am reading The Truth about Mohammad and I already realize that this is not a Leni Riefenstahl air-brushed picture of Mohammad, as were Leni's 1930 films re Hitler. As you know, there are a lot of Leni Riefenstahl style apologists for Mohammad that will be upset by the facts in The Truth About Mohammad. So maybe we'll see Robert Rage soon and a couple of Pizza Huts and a Barnes and Nobel book store will be torched during Robert Rage. (I am not surprised re anything anymore re this belief-system.)
Hope your book is a blockbuster bestseller. If they make a movie out of the book, Jack Nicholson should play Mohammad. I can see him breaking down a pantry door with an ax (as in the Shining) and saying, "Here's Mohammad"! Of course, that will cause Movie Rage.
Thanks limes but I would have to beleave an attack is going to happen before I would place a bet. My bet is I'll be right here Sunday laughing about my hangover from Saturday. As much as I would love to see us finally get an excuse to open up on these clowns, it will not happen.
Wow, what a great idea, Frank. A western-made movie on the life of Mohammed, using only islamic texts. How interesting that would be. I guess it would have to be rated R for the revolting violence that would be portrayed.
Read Mr. Spencer's book on Mohammed's life and found it excellent.
Order the book! Share it with friends! Donate it to your local library!

Leni Riefenstahl—“reality does not interest me.”
Stand fast in the liberty-
I finally got the book after a lot of aggravation re the preorder. I am going to buy several as Christmas presents.
A movie about Mohammad could be a blockbuster. It would get plenty of publicity from Movie Rage. The Academy Awards might look like opening scene from Saving Private Ryan. If Spielberg directed it there would be accusations of a Jewish conspiracy to defame the perfect man.
I think Mohammad did not want an image of himself for good reason. One picture is worth a thousand words.
Sadly, I'm a Browns fan, and I've got bad news for the nut balls. We're already planning to bomb at Cleveland Stadium this weekend against the Denver Broncos, and so a radiological explosion would be anti-climactic, frankly, unless of course the Islamaniacs deploy it prior to the end of the first quarter, thereby sparing us the embarrassment.
However, if the Moslems really want to mix it up with some kafir, I suggest they show up at the Dawg Pound wearing Steelers jerseys and protesting alcohol consumption.
Now that would be an explosion to witness.
The Pound, by the way, is the only place I feel really safe wearing my "I will not submit!" shirt, so it's indeed the only public place I wear it. If it's warm enough, I'll be removing my Browns jacket to display it proudly and openly.
My guess is, there won't be a single, solitary Abdul anywhere near the place.
Haid
I got my copy yesterday, I'm going to start reading it this weekend after the game.
No threat to our stadiums? Pehaps downing one of 'em would get people to take this scourrge seriously -- but Muslims intuitively know such acts are still a bit premature. After all, things are going great for Muslims in the USA.
Sadly, even should public opinion shift considerably the civil rights laws protect Muslims in jobs, government positions, and our military -- and the prisons are a veritable recruitment center for them.
The first amendment is construed by most as a blanket right to this religion by most lawmakers today. It's a sacred cow on both the right and the left.
Areas liike Dearborn, Lodi and sections of most big cities have large populations of them; as they know they can coerce their brethern more easily in this land of 'sin' and practice various frowned upon traditions without public interferance. Recently a Muslin was in a good positon for congress representing a large Islamic constituent. It's also already foolhardy to openly wear a t-shirt that has one of those cartoons of Mohammed upon it in those areas. And don't even bring up Canada...
And worse still, they are moving here in droves -- 40 more thousand this past year were made citizens.
All college towns are swamped with their students and most major universities are given huge endowments to basicly bribe the academics to speak highly of them; with the attendant online student associations and web sites --often paid with government money.
It'll take politicians in high places to even start to stem the tide of Islam in the USA -- and some very unpleasant choices in methods to do it.
So; this is about striking fear and terror into our hearts is it? Well, yes, I can buy that explanation - I think that Robert is correct.
I work in an area of human knowledge which means that often I have to work through the night - or, at least, on into the wee, small hours (as tonight) - uncovering the past once the machinery of the builders of the present and future has finished for the day. Working at night poses its own problems, not least amongst which is the strange people who accost one on site and on one's way home after work.
Some days ago on leaving a site we were stopped by a group of asian looking males who asked us what we had been doing on that site through the hours of darkness. We explained that we were archaeologists doing a rescue dig in advance of the development company sinking foundations for the new factory units.
At that point there was some muttering amongst these asian-seeming males and one of their number came forward and asked exactly what we were looking for. We explained that we were excavating a not very important bronze age site dating to around 1800BC which was interesting to us because there was some significant evidence that, even at that date, stone tools and artifacts were still exceedingly important to the people who had occupied the site.
Some more muttering in a language which none of us understood then took place amongst these males. Suddenly, we detected a sea change in their attitude towards us. They became hostile and began to threaten us with violence. One of them came forward and shouted at us that we were looking for evidence that mohammed was not eternal. Another shouted at us, in perfectly understandable English, that we were seeking to destroy signs of the earliest mosque in England. Over the next few minutes there were more, and equally ridiculous, comments and insults thrown at us.
Then it began to get ugly. Even though these, by now, obviously moslem, males were outnumbered by our group in the ratio of three-to-one they decided to move towards us and display an assortment of makeshift weapons which they had obviously brought with them to this encounter.
We were tired after having worked all night. Things had not gone well due to water incursion into our diggings. We had yelled at one another and we had argued with one another all night. In other words we were distinctly p***sed off and still annoyed. When these idiotic and under-educated (aren't they all) moslems advanced upon us the only reaction any of us had was anger. So we walked towards them and brandished the tools we were carrying - and, in a moment of humour which we didn't appreciate until later, one of my colleagues simply waved his mobile 'phone at them - and these stupid, ignorant people simply turned and ran away from us. We couldn't believe it. They ran down the street and stood at the corner and called out some sort of insults to us in a language we couldn't understand and when we walked towards them they simply melted away into the surrounding streets.
Obviously, we laughed, who wouldn't. Obviously we reviled them and their pubescent, tumescent, idiotic, crude beliefs in their filthy little devil-worshipping cult (actually, a fascinating study for us is islam and how it arose.. but that's another story). So, we headed towards a hot breakfast in the nearest 'greasy spoon' (as archaeologists are occasionally wont - especially after a long cold night) and, once we were safely ensconced in the steamy warmth of the cafe one of the young American exchange students who is working with us reminded us of an incredibly apposite quote from FDR in 1933 (albeit, he was speaking about something entirely different):
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
And he was right. We had converted retreat into advance. We had done more than that - we had won by standing up to the brutish islamist. By God, that made us all feel better!

Great story Dominic,
I have said many times muslims are cowards the myth of islamic warriors is just that, a myth. I do believe in muslim mobs, gangs and criminals, no warriors though. Glad to see you and your friends were safe.
A football game is no place for a dirty bomb, just "The Bomb".
Islam is really trying to make a statement going against these fun loving people, you attack here and you may find a group that understands conflict between two sides. Talk about a good time to remind the country about the threat of islam with the upcomming elections.
My predictions..
Jets over Detroit.
Miami over Green Bay.
Pittsburgh over Atlanta.
Jacksonsville over Houston.
Buffalo over New England.
Cincinnati over Carolina.
San Deigo over Kansas City.
Tampa Bay over Philladelphia.
Denver over Cleveland.
Minnesota over Seattle.
Indianapolis over Washington.
Oakland over Arizona.
Dallas over N.Y. Giants.
If you watch, you may see a bomb or two, sixty yard touchdowns. Are you ready for some football?

Way off beam in your predictions but I'll make you one -
Western Democracy over islam

This is not surprising. Anytime these punks are confronted by any type of resistance they run off. No doubt they went home highly upset, since they couldn't attack in their time honored fashion-skulking from behind.
necessitasnonhabetlegem;
We will see about mine, I do agree with yours.
Islam is the enemy.
Dominic -- do you write childrens stories? Sorry, but your story sounds too good to be true, even for Jihad Watch.
I would be more concerned about an attack in an unnamed city, and not necessarily at a football stadium. They are obviously trying to hit Americans below the belt, well aware of our fondness for football, and trying to scare fans away from the games. But they certainly wouldn't name their targets so evil, corrupt football fans could save themselves for another game.
They want us to be scared, to cower in the safety of our homes. I don't think they will ever succeed in making that happen. They have warned of another attack and I expect one, but somehow I just don't think they're capable of smuggling a dirty bomb into a football stadium.
champ/
I'm sorry that you find my story 'too good to be true, even for Jihad Watch'.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'even for Jihad Watch'. Are you saying that the posters here don't always tell the truth? Well, you could be right. Perhaps many don't. I can assure you, however, that I do.
I have first hand experience of the politically correct culture which I live in - just a few scant weeks ago it cost me my job and I was d**ned lucky to get another one so quickly (and I know it) - and of the nightly toll taken from our public servants, such as those who serve with the Fire Brigade, the Ambulance Service, the A&E services at our hospitals and the Police Forces, that our society exacts from them as they seek to control the rising tide of lawlessness that is Britain today. I was merely adding my own experience to the list.
Do you think it uncommon and unbelievable? Well, obviously you do. I wish that I lived in your quiet, sheltered and enclosed world. Regretably, I don't. I live and work in London and regularly have to travel all over the kingdom for my company.
I live in a world - modern Britain - where the exigencies of my job dictate that I sometimes have to deal with unreasonable people - and there are far more unreasonable people out there than you can possibly imagine - and the point of my retailing of that particular anecdote was that moslems are equally as unreasonable, if not more so, than the average run-of-the-mill person with whom I have to deal.
In fact, they (the moslems) are much more unreasonable than any of the other people with whom I have to deal, with the possible exception (and I stress that this is a highly qualified exception) of Christian fundamentalists.
No, I withdraw that. Christian fundamentalists have never threatened to take my head off with a blunt pen-knife - moslems have. I have been punched, kicked and spat upon by Christian fundamentalists but I have never been threatened with death by them. Moslems, howsomever, have frequently threatened archaeological teams (including two that I have been on) with death, not just in Britain - though that is bad enough - but also in many other countries.
So, Champ, if you think that in some sense I am exagerating - or making things up - why don't you join some of the night workers. Better still, why don't you come and join some of the people who are striving to increase the human knowledge about human knowledge.
If you want to please email me at:

and perhaps we could show you just what we face from the d**ned moslems one dark and stormy Friday night in one of our ghetoised cities. You might sing a different tune after that sort of an experience, eh!

What is everybody so-o-o-o afraid of? "The fault lies not in the stars, but in ourselves..." That paraphrase says it all.
A surprising number of our public here in the U.S. still believes still believes that Hussein had something to do with 9/11, which is not true. I find little that is factual in the media, but they are only there to make money, selling ads, entertaining, so why expect truth from them?
"There's a sucker born every minute" - another paraphrase. Yes, there are some people who understand when propaganda and slogans are being pushed ("slogans like "Stand down when they stand up", "Cut and run", "War on Terror", all meaningless).
Here is a question that has never been satisfactorily answered: if the cabin doors of the airliners had been stiffened and unopenable, if pilots could be armed, is it possible that 9/11 could not have happened and this huge plot would have been seen as a much less traumatic event.
Why is everybody so afraid of Al Qaeda when there seems to be little known about it. It is very disconcerting to find no source for the strength of Al-Qaeda, no numbers of actual agents, actual locations, actual plots - they get pulled out whenever they release a video as some bogeymen. Are there 300 Al-Qaeda agents, 3,000, 30,000 or more or less? If there are 3,000 of them, do we need to be afraid of them? Fear is of something we don't know or fully understand.
Why are we so afraid of them, based on the propaganda that's been bandied around? Based on something real? Most of the plots that have surfaced are relatively trivial in terms of threatening the real strength of our large country.
I find, when I step back, that every time the people in power want something, they scare us with "terrorism" and "war on terror." Scare, scare, scare. Be afraid and vote for the Republicans seems to be the message; the Democrats will not defend you. Against what? Against 9/11? That happened with a Republican President, remember?
So whenever a would-be terrorist puts together a video and plays it, threatening us, we need to quake in our boots. Is that what we're supposed to do? No, we're a good strong country and, if the Republican politicians who are scaring us now, really looked at it, after five, yes, five years, they aren't doing the job, maybe we ought to turn them out and put in a Democratic majority to see if they can do the job better. After all, Bush & Co. seem to be losing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the North Koreans have run rings around his policies, ditto with Iran. Yeah, let's stop being afraid and put some Democrats in to see how they can change things.

Dominic -
I'm confused. On a previous thread you stated that you HAD been threatened by Christians and that some of them "wanted you dead" because you are gay; but here you stated, "I have never been threatened with death by them." Which is it?
It's inconsistent statements like this that have caused me to think twice about some of your stories. But hey, at least they're entertaining, and they quite possibly might be true.
You're obviously an intelligent guy who loves his work. Take care and be safe!

The times that Cf's threatened death have usually been when I have been out demonstrating with other gay people for what we believe should be our rights under the law. What I'm talking about here is what has happened to me, and others, at work.
Also, I can let the gay thing get out of proportion - especially at the end of a long hard day. Everything, when one is tired, can seem personal.
Of course I'm inconsistent - I'm human. I reserve to myself the right to be as inconsistent and as forgetful and as emotional and as selective of my memories as I choose to be at any given time simply because I want to be.
Good grief, that's irrational. I'm tireder than I thought. Enjoy it.
Oh, and by-the-way, I do love my work and I can't imagine doing anything else. As I implied - you should try it.

Yep. It was in Britain. In fact, in North London. My country, damnit, not theirs.
I am not senior enough to be sent on an overseas dig, yet.

P.S. I'm off to bed now. God bless you all and may angels watch over you.

I have nothing to add but.. PLAY BALL!!
OCPatriot,
The Airline companies, since the 70s had a policy of handing over the Aircraft to terrorists to avoid unnecessary deaths. Well one smart guy figured this out and took it one step further. We made it easy for them. What is 1 tenth of 1 percent of 1 billion? Way too many that’s what. Are you afraid? I’m not and refuse to ever be. Please, spare me the dem talking points, is that the new angle? Help us help U? Stop it. They never saw a dictator or terrorist they didn’t want to embrace(or sell weapons to). Just ask Charlie(so-called terrorists) Rangel.
americaningermany,
Sorry but you will have to endure. These muslims go crazy over western women especially American. Why? I think it has something to do with their infatuation with power. They think that if they can conquer our women who they see as powerful compared to theirs they are somehow sticking their finger in our eyes. I say to any western woman that would have them, good riddance. Also, when we are forced to take over the world again and bring peace and harmony to all we are going to give all their women to the Chinese. They have a shortage of women in china you know.
OT,
Yes sadly, Millions of boys without girls.
And now they call the young men who will never procreate dead branches.
Also, the Russian population has been cut in half since WWII to 150 million.
It’s a wonderful horrible world out there.

-Dominic,
You should have told the bastards you were digging up Crusader swords and had found a perfectly functional example, if they'd like to take a look.
Also, remember the group of muslim men who went to "find a place to pray" in Detroit at some sporting event? Some believed they may have been scoping out the place as they were in an area that was not a public area.

This also happened @ Giants Stadium in N.J. It seems they were praying near some air ducts that helped air circulate throughout the stadium. coincidence?....hmmmm.....I think the dhimmis in charge made a prayer room for our friendly terrorists after this incident.Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Why not just give em an 18 wheeler and the closest parking spot to the stadium?
Why is everybody so afraid of Al Qaeda when there seems to be little known about it.
With this one statement, you show that you must be new to Jihadwatch.
The whole point of this website is to show that the threat that we face is not from extremists only. The war on terrorism is a misnomer. What this website aims to show, and does, is that all muslims can be potential terrorists, what it shows is that millions of muslims, not just a few al-qaeda operatives, are taking the task of jihad personally to the west. Bush does not get it. He thinks this is just about a small minority of extremists. He is dead wrong. This is about a massive army of millions drawn from a population exceeding 1 billion. The koran dictates that jihad is the responsibility of all muslims, and bin laden has reiterated that axiom for today's muslims.
Al-qaeda is a blanket term. But it is useless. There are literally millions of muslims around the world personally engaged in jihad. That number will grow with each perceived outrage of the west against islam.
You are all suckers and fools. This transparently absurd "threat" was posted to a satiricial website, The Friend Society. And a whole bunch of silly people responded with inanities like "they are threatening us," and "fear is their goal." No, comedy is their goal, and it is working. People are laughing at you.
"Comedy is their goal? Whose goal? The muslims?"
no. It wasn't posted on a Muslim website. It was posted on a comedy website. and suckers bought it, hook, line, and sinker.
Real or bogus? Really doesnt matter, it is obvious that some mental midgets will always ignore the number 1 rule of warfare... Never underestimate your enemy. I love it when I see a new poster who starts out insulting everybody, it reinforces my belief that we are surrounded by imbeciles.
Don't the Raiders have enough problems without this?

Thanks, I will look forward to this!
I thought there were laws against this type of hoax? I remember at least two, maybe three or more, people getting arrested and charged with sending fake anthrax thru the mails back in 2001 -- one in CT and one in NY for sure. And I know that even just joking about bombs, hijackings, etc, while standing in line at airport security is an arrestable offense.
IANAL, so I got no clue on this. But it would stand to reason that anyone making such a "joke" in times like these will be responsible for a lot of needless fear, maybe panic, and at least some economic losses. If not a criminal infraction, that's gotta be at least a civil one?
Either way, pretty messed up -- and not anywhere close to my idea of fun (and my idea of fun is already pretty twisted). And somewhere, there are some real terrorists laughing their asses off at us - and maybe getting a few ideas of their own, too.
And if that's the case, then maybe whoever posted the initial threat notice could be brought up on more serious charges -- like aiding and abetting an enemy power. Seeing whoever did this get hauled into court and charged with, oh I dunno -- treason? Now that WOULD be my idea of fun.
Anyone know for sure about this?

necessitasnonhabetlegem;
I hope you may see this, and I offer a compromise. Buy the book, and donate it to a local library in "Islofob IS-1" name, along with your user ID "Dominic". I hope you consider this, it may do more in this struggle to get the word out.
You will then remember the Raiders first win in close to a year, probally for many to come. And with my thanks!
