"The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers..." - Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
This arrangement has the added use of drawing military attention to ostensibly civilian targets for propaganda purposes. And the intrepid mujahedin? Not so intrepid after all, apparently. Perhaps that's why Hamas issues black uniforms to some of its fighters. They don't show stains as much. "Top Hamas engineer tells all," by Ilana Curiel for YNet News, August 12 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):
Hamas engineer Dirar Abu Sisi, nabbed by Israeli security forces earlier this year, provided interrogators with priceless information on Hamas' modus operandi, the terror group's readiness for a clash with Israel and attempts to improve its rocket range.
Abu Sisi? That's too easy.
According to interrogation excerpts, cleared for publication Thursday by the Beersheba District Court following Ynet's appeal, the Hamas engineer described the terror group as an orderly hierarchical organization that aims to learn from its mistakes and adapt to changing regional realities.
The engineer told interrogators that following Operation Cast Lead Gaza, top Hamas terrorist Mohammed Deif and the group's military wing commander Ahmed Jabari found Hamas' operations to be lacking and decided to make Abu Sisi in charge of establishing the organization's new military academy.
"An analysis of the war with Israel was undertaken. It found that a large number of Hamas activists ran away from their positions. A failure occurred in decision-making coupled with an inability to use arms during the battle – because of fear," he said. "A program of study had to be created, in order to improve the situation."
Terror studies at mosques
The new academy was tasked with imparting combat methods and tactics to Hamas terrorists, Abu Sisi said. Hamas men were undertaking their studies at mosques, while passing their final exams in known Gaza universities or in mosques.
"The books and academic materials did not bear the Hamas name or logo," he said. Instructors include university lecturers, education ministry officials, merchants and others.
Abu Sisi is believed to be Hamas' rocket expert. He joined the terror group in 2002, despite working for the Palestinian Electric Company, which forbade its employees from joining any group.
"I assisted Hamas in developing their missile capabilities, by identifying and handing over mathematical equations that improve the metal pipe's ability to withstand pressure and heat," he said. "I was present when a missile was test-fired at the sea in Khan Younis."
The terror group was lacking materials that could improve their rocket range and later smuggled it in from Egypt through tunnels, he said.
Rocket info on the Internet
Abu Sisi's interrogation revealed that he acquired plenty of information on improving rocket range via the Internet, including the YouTube website.
"I know nothing about explosives. I only calculated the pressure and heat…I downloaded the formula from the Internet," he said, adding that he also downloaded software pertaining to the rocket's structure.
Hamas would send its activists for further instruction overseas, Abu Sisi said. Selected graduates of the academy reached military academies in foreign countries, he said, including Syria, Yemen, Sudan and Iran.
During his interrogation, Abu Sisi expressed his regret for joining Hamas.
"I greatly regret my affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas Movement, my work to develop the missile range, my part in establishing Hamas' military academy, and all the information I handed over to Hamas that can threaten the security of Israel and its citizens," he said.
"I know the missiles are lethal and take the lives of others, without distinguishing between Arabs and Jews," he said.
The way Hamas fires, they certainly don't. Even recently, their rockets have managed to land on Bedouin communities.
Abu Sisi was kidnapped in Kiev and brought to Israel in February. His indictment sheet comprises nine counts, including membership in a terror organization, murder, attempted murder and arms production.
MOSLEM FATHER OF SLAIN SON CALLS FOR CALM IN BIRMINGHAM
With Moslem militants calling for revenge after a black man allegedly killed three Pakistani Moslem men on Wednesday during the UK riots Tariq Jahan, the father of one of the victims, called for calm. But on the internet war drums are beating. Jihadists are quoting the Koran and Hadiths calling for "an eye for an eye" to avenge the apparently racially motivated crime where the three Moslems were mowed down by a car on the holy month of Ramadan. One of the victims' sister wants justice done and the killer dead. The victims were trying to protect local Moslem owned shops from looters when they were struck by the speeding car. Police are holding an Afro-Caribbean man in custody.
Deadly tensions between Afro-Caribbean blacks and Pakistani-Bangladeshi Moslems have a history in Birmingham. Back in 2005 ethnic riots broke out when a Moslem gang was rumored to have raped a black girl in a Moslem owned shop. The rumor was never substantiated. No rape victim ever came forth. Some say she did exist but was an illegal alien unwilling to make charges to police because she feared deportation. But two days of riots broke out leaving two men dead and damage to ethnic owned shops.
Now it's no mere rumor that three men were killed. Now it's no rumor it was a racially motivated anti-Moslem hate crime committed by a black man with an ax to grind. Will the Moslem community heed Tariq Jahan's call for peace? Or will jihad prevail? Will believers strike back in Allah's name taking an eye for an eye pouring fuel on the fire of a very hot and deadly summer? My guess is that more violence is coming to Birmingham and Britain, and that blacks and Moslems will die. Islam has been disgraced by an unbeliever, and such a crime-unforgivable say jihadiists-cannot go unpunished. Allah requires the shedding of infidel blood to be satisfied.
That allah! Always with the jokes. Here, the "best of peoples" is reduced to stealing scientific information from the kuffars, thru the internet, BECAUSE ISLAM HAS MADE UP SO STUPID. It's unislamic to ask too many questions, donchano?
"I know nothing about explosives. I only calculated the pressure and heat… [And at that] I downloaded the formula from the Internet," [Sisi] said, adding that he also downloaded software pertaining to the rocket's structure.
Sisi further opined, "We'd still be picking our toes in Poughkeepsie if it weren't for the kuffar. Truly allah is the best of deceivers."
Now it's no mere rumor that three men were killed. Now it's no rumor it was a racially motivated anti-Moslem hate crime committed by a black man with an ax to grind.
How do you know that it's no rumour and that it was a racially motivated, anti-Moslem crime?
Those Muslim barrows don't believe Allah's promise of 72 virgins in his Celestial Whorehouse!
Oh boo-hoo, I couldn't care less.
You just keep committing cultural suicide England, that's the ticket you bloody fools.
Toe-jam Sisi leading the sissys! (She,s right---way too easy)
I hope that is a quote from an article in the press. From a less biased source close to the incident, I have heard (unconfirmed but first hand) that the three youths that died were standing in the middle of the road throwing rocks at cars carrying black and white people. I have met several people who would be willing to run someone down in revenge for damage to their cars and religion or race has nothing to do with it...
Obviously the fact that the three youths died and were muslims means that the press will not publish any information that shows these lads as anything other than shining examples of community spirit brutally murdered for defending their homes
Gotta love the reach and methodologies of the Mossad. If only the CIA were that ballsy.
".. fighters who ran away or froze in fear.."
Cowards they are!
Guess what Muhammad did when he was surrounded by his enemies ... HE PLAYED DEAD !

"Islam, like the girl with a long scare on her face has bad news. But the worse is that among all the people that know, only about 5% find the courage to say it!".
If you the Reader is aware of it; say it now and here.
Thank you.
You're right. I'm rushing to judgment. For all we know the black assailant was a peaceloving citizen driving into a Moslem neighborhood during a riot to go shopping or looking for chicks. But a story like this won't sell with the folks who organizd deadly protests throughout the Moslem world over Mohammed cartoons and the burning of the Koran. Moslems were killed. It's a crime against God. Kill infidels for Allah to even the score.
Moslems throwing rocks at infidels? Happens all the time on the West Bank. There's no crime here according to the Koran, and no justification to kill Moslems. To get a jihadis' rage going all he needs to know is that Moslems were killed by infidels, and out comes the sword.
LOL! Couldn't care less!
You just keep committing cultural suicide England, that's the ticket you bloody fools.
The problem is "Islamophobia." The problem is "Islamophobia." The problem is "Islamophobia." The problem is "Islamophobia."
I'm still trying!
