Miserable, eh? That's why Western-born Muslims are leaving home and flocking to Islamic countries in droves, arriving by plane, train, and boat to find a better life and take advantage of generous social welfare systems -- no, wait...
The "revolting geek" described himself as such some years ago, and the "miserable suburbs" quote comes from the Fox affiliate in Detroit linked from this story. "Al Qaeda Video Asks Detroit-Area Muslims to Act," from Fox News, October 25:
An Al Qaeda call-to-arms video released in Detroit by a U.S. intelligence agency hints that terror attacks may be coming to the U.S. and parts of Europe, MyFoxDetroit reports.
Adam Gadahn, Al Qaeda's American-born spokesman, posted a 40-minute video on terrorist Web sites on Sunday, looking to attract local Muslims in sparking terrorism attacks.
Gadahn urged Muslims living "in the miserable suburbs of Paris, London and Detroit" to stage religiously motivated attacks on targets in Europe and the United States.
"It is the duty of everyone who is sincere in his desire to defend Islam and Muslims today, to take the initiative to perform the individual obligation of jihad," Gadahn said in Arabic in the video.
Detroit is the only U.S. city mentioned by Gadahn, who, in the video, also gives praise to the suspect involved in the attempted airplane bombing at Detroit Metro Airport.
Abdulmutallab, the underwear jihadist.
The video, which asks Al Qaeda followers to individually stage attacks, has been condemned by Muslim leaders in the Detroit area, including Imad Hamad, the Regional Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
"It makes us stronger, it makes us more united," Hamad said in the video, adding that "we all have a responsibility to be vigilant and not take anything for granted when it comes to our safety and security."
"It's a war between the evil and the good. I think we are on the good side, so far I think we are winning our fight against terrorism."...
But to take issue with "terrorism" alone is still to sidestep jihad as the heart of the matter, as it would also be to hide behind the notion of "defensive jihad," which amounts to jihad waiting for an excuse.


























"It's a war between the evil and the good. I think we are on the good side, so far I think we are winning our fight against terrorism."...
It's nice that you are on the side of good...I'm sure that Allah appreciates that...But what are you actually doing to win your fight against terrorism? That must be pretty tricky since Allah identifies himself as a terrorist in Quran 8:12...
'Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
It's really hard to convince Believers who have 'firmness', not to terrorize when Allah does it, and advocates it...
