'Al-Qaeda' demands Yassin revenge — against U.S.

This just in from AFP:

A STATEMENT published on an Islamist website today purporting to be from al-Qaeda urged retaliation against the US and its allies for Israel's killing of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

"Sheikh Yassin's blood will not have been shed in vain - we call on all the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades to avenge the sheikh of the Palestinian resistance by striking the tyrant of the century America and its allies," said the statement carried by the www.al-ansar.biz website.

The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades take their name from an al-Qaeda leader killed in Washington's 2001 onslaught in Afghanistan and is a name regularly used in communiques from the Islamic militant network to its cells around the world.

There was no immediate way of establishing the authenticity of the latest statement.

Nothing new here. They were already trying to kill us.

The Palestinians did this in order to make it look like the Jews and Americans did it and blame them for it......Does any of this sound familiar?

I don't see any of them dancing in their streets today like they did on 9-11-01, and like they do everytime a bomber kills innocents from other faiths. Like I said, they can't stand the taste of their own medicine and I hope they choke on it.

We are to bame because…? Israel decides not to "disappear" and become part of the Caliphate. Oh, my, that's also our big "sin against Islam."

Posted by: epg at March 22, 2004 4:52 PM

Islam attacks the U.S. in Africa, in Saudi Arabia, on the Cole, on U.S. soil.

Islam attacks innocents around the world—last time in Spain.

Islam attacks innocents in pizza parlors and bus stops in Israel.

But, if we dare to retaliate, well, that is aggression against "blameless" Muslims and they want "REVENGE".

What can one say to these, but Bring it on.

And thank you Israel for showing the world how much support Hamas' spiritual leader receives in the world.
Spiritual...mm-hmmm.

What a surprise.....Islamofacists want to murder Americans. I'm with TS.....bring it on.

GOD has spoken, death to those that hate and kill.

60 years ago it was the Nazis, the Italians, and Imperial Japanese trying to kill us. Thirty years ago it was the Communists. Now it's these punks. When you're #1 it's always somebody. They will be thrown on the trash heap of history and forgotten along with their predecessors. These people all share a common trait: they're all LOSERS!

Posted by: Hal at March 22, 2004 8:56 PM

Hal, I'm half Italian, ease up a bit huh?....Here's the difference between me and the people we're dealing with now.

I'll be the first to admit that back in the 30s and 40s, the Italians were no better than the Nazis. In fact, they were rotten bastards.

What we deal with now is a group that admits no wrong doing about anything, ever. This is the problem. There is no reasoning with them. Give them an inch, and they want the world. They have the mindset that they are owed, and everyone owes them.

There's only one way to deal with this faction, and Israel just gave everyone a great demonstration.

Posted by: D.C. Watson at March 22, 2004 9:18 PM

Which half, DC? Just kidding. Nothing against any ethnic group, least of all the Italians, the way I love pizza (and bratwurst and sushi). I was just trying to illustrate that the US has had enemies in the past and this latest threat is nothing new.

Posted by: Hal at March 22, 2004 9:42 PM

It's all good my friend. Just sending a little riff your way. Italians don't make sushi, do they?

Posted by: D.C. Watson at March 22, 2004 9:53 PM

I thought we'd be into some scuffles on here today, but the Muslims haven't paid a visit. Mourning maybe. I was looking forward to seeing what kind of commentary they'd provide today.

Posted by: D.C. Watson at March 22, 2004 11:27 PM

Joey must be in mourning.

A Hamas leader said,and i quote"We are not fighting you so that you will offer us something,we are fighting you,to eliminate you."
As soon as we will realize and openly admit this is a religious war that islam is fighting against the infidels,our chances of survival will increase exponentially,for we will know who the enemy is and how to fight to defeat it.

Posted by: adela at March 23, 2004 1:09 AM

Yes, the Muslims have an extremely thin skin. They venerate psychopathic shieks and then complain when someone else has a problem with what that person teaches and how they murder innocent people. Sad, really.

Think of it as payback for Leon Klinghoffer.

International condemnation was heard today regarding the assasination of Saruman. Today described as the 'spiritual leader' of the Uruk Hai, Saruman was attacked at his holy tower at Isenguard during an incursion by his neighbours the Ents.
Treebeard, the unelected leader of the Ents claimed Saruman was responsible for repeated acts of herbicide, and that this was an act of self defence.
Uruk Hai representatives say that they are a peace loving people, and statements by their beloved leader 'Saruman the Wise' that they would kill all the elves between the Great river and the sea, and that his followers would feast on man flesh are poetical and probably mistranslated and taken out of context. Apparently their poetry can only be understood in the original orcish. (orcish is calimed to be the highest form of language by its speakers. Claims that it is simply a corrupted form of ancient elvish are dismissed as intolerant.)
The Uruk Hai general, now their de facto leader reiterated, "The Uruk Hai are a peaceful people, and we will kill everyone who opposes us."

LOL. Good one Peter!

Saruman was an elderly, white-haired gentleman, who needed to carry a walking stick at all times. He encouraged his Uruk Hai to regularly observe good orcish practises, such as feasting at night and bowing down to the Kingdom of Mordor, the spiritual home of all orcs. Western historians have claimed that Sauron of Mordor created the orcs as an insult to the Elvish people and customs. The orcs counter claim that originally everyone was orcish, and somehow they became corrupted into elves and humans.

Oh man.. thats funny... Peter is the Jester of the day!

The Islamic Fascists threaten to "open the gates of hell". Well, I guess that makes them the gatekeepers of hell, and shows their true colors. What strange madness lives in these people? It does remind me of the collective insanity of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia.
Islam needs a Reformation in order to join the 21st century. Moderate Islamists need to step up to the plate. Either that or face deportation from the West. It's going to get HOT in Europe first. The Europeans will be looking for their new Charles Martel.

WE recognize them for what they are, but the rest of the world appears to be mesmerized, or perhaps, postmodernism relativisitic moral concets has totally addled and confused them into accepting the upsidedown thinking that we have describing. In what other age would someone in the West call a murder contractor a "spiritual leader," a "homicide bomber," a spiritual saint, nihilistic killers, saviors, and those that stand up to revenge killers, tyrants? They sleepwalking perdition.

Posted by: epg at March 23, 2004 5:27 PM

As if before that they didn't massacre babies?

What's this "revenge" shouting?
Israelis have got nothing to lose, sure it can also be their brothers killing this bloodthirsty "mullah", they kill their own kids too via genocide-human bombing...
