Somali jihadists insist that they are part of a global jihad that the learned analysts aren't sure exists at all. "Harakat Al-Shabab Al-Mujahideen Calls to Attack Capitals of African Countries Participating In Peacekeeping Force in Somalia: 'We [Join] the Mujahideen in the Global Islamic War Against the Cross,'" from MEMRI (thanks to all who sent this in):
On January 3, 2008, the Islamist forum http://ek-ls.org (hosted by NOC4Hosts Inc. in Florida, USA) posted a communiqué titled "As You Condemn Others, So You Will Be Condemned" by the terrorist group Harakat Al-Shabab Al-Mujahideen. In the communiqué the group threatens to attack the capitals of African countries which are participating in the peacekeeping force in Somalia.[...]
"… We stress that we will retaliate. Whoever banishes Muslim nations [from their lands] grants us permission to banish his people [from their land]; whoever kills our women – we shall kill his women; whoever attacks our dignity – we shall give him what he deserves; whoever turns our mothers into widows and our children into orphans – we shall turn his mother into a widow and increase [the number of] his orphans…"
[...]
"The soldiers and people of the states that are participating in the occupation of our country have become part of the Crusader alliance led by the global criminal Bush, and [partners in] the war he is waging on all the Muslims. Thereby, they have made themselves targets for attacks by the Muslims who are protecting themselves and their religion.
"And just as they rallied under the banner of the global Crusade against Islam, we [now join] the mujahideen in the global Islamic war against the Cross; just as the Abyssinians [Ethiopians] are helped by their brethren, the worshippers of the Cross, so do we have our Muslim brethren in all the countries of the world, including the countries from which [the soldiers of the peacekeeping force in Somalia] come – [namely] Ethiopia, Uganda, Burundi and so on… They stand with us and we stand with them against [our] common Crusader enemy."
This ain't gonna put a drain on our human resources at the taxi stands in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, is it?
So, Robert, what's this "Jihad" you keep talking about?
And how the hell do you have the time to concoct all of these absurd stories, day after day, and then manage to attribute them to this or that newspaper, or news agency, or radio or television interview, and then pretend that they really exist, and after the concoction, and the diabolical planting of such stories, you put them here, innocently treating them as if they had an an independent existence?
What a demiurge, creating your own private universe of made-up news, just so that you may claim that there is this thing called "Jihad" and that it comes from the texts and tenets of Islam. The American government doesn't agree. The British government doesn't agree. Most of those whose task and duty it is to instruct and protect us will not publicly agree with you, and they have stopped up their ears so as not to have to hear a syllable of this kiind of thing.
Apparently it was not enough for you to have fabricated a puppet through whom you sometimes choose to ventriloquently speak.
No, you had to go much much further.
I should know.
The UN, EU, UK, & US governments dwell in a parallel universe. Besides, The Man Who Doesn't Really Exist is the REAL Puppeteer--right, Hugh?
BTW, nice Universe you have here, Shadow Man. LOL!
Those who sow the wind shall reap THE WIRLWIND.
"… whoever kills our women – we shall kill his women; whoever attacks our dignity – we shall give him what he deserves; whoever turns our mothers into widows and our children into orphans – we shall turn his mother into a widow and increase [the number of] his orphans…"
It looks like there will be a lot more Moslems killing other Moslems; since most Moslem victims are already the victims of other Moslems. It's looking more and more like Hobbes' "war of all against all". As for their dignity, the Moslems lost whatever dignity they had a long time ago.
We obviously aren't working hard enough to build a bridge of friendship between Christianity and Islam. Or maybe there is another problem?
IN THIS SIGN + SHALL WE CONQUER
Bring it on, Mussulmen!
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!

A bridge to Islam? I think that's "A Bridge Too Far". Or maybe another "bridge to Nowhere" like the one the Alaskan senator wanted.
...Reap the WHIRLWIND,that is.
"whoever kills our women – we shall kill his women."
Misunderstanders...
"Somali jihadists insist that they are part of a global jihad that the learned analysts aren't sure exists at all. "
....whom should I believe?.....learned analysts who have not proven anything to me or the warlords who are constantly leaving bodies whenever they attack....hmmmm....
You just can't make this stuff up.
Crusaders?
I remember a early sixties cartoon called "Crusader Rabbit", is that what they're talking about?
Of course, in today's PC society, such a program would be "Islamophobic".
Somebody alert CAIR. That is, if they are out of the meeting with their defense attorneys.
"we [now join] the mujahideen in the global Islamic war against the Cross;"
....ok Christians...you have officially been notified that another Muslim crusade has begun...despite what your dhimmi friends tell you...
If the Clintons send another "humanitarian mission" to Somalia or Darfur, they will be welcomed with open arms, right?
The first Somalia mission looked good, until a US marine was killed and dragged through the street of Mogadishu.
Those pesky Tiny Minority of Extremists sure rack up the Air Miles.
led by the global criminal Bush, and [partners in] the war he is waging on all the Muslims.
My goodness, does the President know he is doing this? The Pentagon doesn't.
You can always count on the mujadeens to give us a good laugh when our spirits are down.
I guess I'm going to have to re-read Dune. Are they running low on Spice?
Thats it...now I am going to get my old crusader sword..yes the one that sings..out of the attic.
Personally, I really don't care how another preson worships his or her god or gods. I'm very happy being a Christian, and wish others could find the same joy and peace that my family and I have. But all the same, you can worship the moon and bow down before a meteorite if you want.
However...I'm getting tired of being threatened by these folks. The things that happen are bad enough, but the enemy is being encouraged by the "peace through understanding each other" and "peach through surrender" attitude our governments display, and the constant drumbeat of "What the west is doing wrong!!" from the media.
The rhetoric from the enemy gets louder and louder; attacks from the enemy grow more frequent and closer to home. At what point are people in Washington going to figure out that reaching out to these savages and sending them money, giving away Israel, and handing them guns isn't going to work?? Will they come to that conclusion before or after some of our cities disappear under a mushroom cloud?
I sincerely appreciate the efforts of Robert, Hugh, and you folks here. There are articles, commentary, and viewpoint that you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere.
I wish someone in Washington would pay attention to what's really going on in the world. Plenty of evidence that Islam isn't a religion of peace. Plenty of evidence that they can't be trusted, or bargained with. There's plenty of evidence...that no one in D.C. is paying any attention at all.
Where's Siljander? It's time to build that bridge!
Whoever banishes Muslim nations [from their lands] grants us permission to banish his people [from their land];
Are we allowed to banish Muslim nations from OUR LANDS and see them retaliate? Wouldn't that be fun to watch? One land loses the liquor store cashiers and taxi drivers and the other loses oil field workers.
Another Wonderland of Jihad story. Attesting once again the Global reach he has. Weaving a story befuddling to those steeped in the knowledge of well -documented Opinion.

Michael, as I understand, is the patron and defender of Israel, the people and nation thereof; also of the Church.
I was reading Neal Boortz and followed a link to Reuters web site. This blog caught my eye.
Who would expect a blog criticizing the UN as actually encouraging Jihad violence at Reuters??

Hugh,
You inadvertently reminded me of a classic movie, which would be a SPLENDID Cinematic Interlude: THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS--!!!
Movie theme: War is deceit.

It turns out there is no name on the article/blog that I posted the link for.
I followed a trail and found out the guy's name is Josh Greenberger. Here is his website.
He wrote a piece about Nancy Pelosi and Osama Bin Laden on the phone that is a hoot.

You guys are very funny. You know you made me think.
Eh, I thought it funny that Muslims should complain of the Crusaders. In fact, as I remember, there was only one successful Crusade, that was led by Richard the Lions heart. All the rest failed miserably.
Though Richard finally conquered Jerusalem, he was the only king left to fight the sultan. All his allies, kings of Europe, left him before the fight begun.
Later on Jerusalem fell again. The knight of Templar fought bravely, but the Pope refuse to send help because the church want the fleet to protect the "trade" I personally feel that was selfish.
Christian was never fought as one against Muslims. Though Muslims kill each other, they fought as one against the Kafir.
Shame.
Gosh... They say "Crusader" like it's a bad thing!
livefreeordie:
I strongly agree with every single word of your last post.

I think that was Rangers & Delta in the Mog.
