>We love peace, but peace on our terms,

Fantastic. Lets hope more statements of this calibre are forthcoming from the religion of peace - the more the better. Maybe the public in the civilised world will start to realise what the religion of peace actuall eaches

Adam Gadahn, America's special forces are coming for you. When they find you, they will KILL you. And we will celebrate the death of a traitor and terrorist.

When evil takes the mind of a former human the transformation is so complete that nothing less than the utter destruction of his DNA with a white hot fire will seem to suffice for cleansing.

First they say they love death, then they say they love peace, then they say they'll slit our throats, then they say they're all Mohammed Attas.

We look forward to you all sharing the same fate as Atta...

McGuinty rejects Sharia law

KEITH LESLIE
CANADIAN PRESS

Ontario will not become the first Western jurisdiction to allow the use of a set of centuries’ old religious rules called Sharia law to settle Muslim family disputes, and will ban all religious arbitrations in the province, Premier Dalton McGuinty told The Canadian Press on Sunday.
In a telephone interview with the national news agency, McGuinty announced his government would move quickly to outlaw existing religious tribunals used for years by Christians and Jews under Ontario’s Arbitration Act.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that the debate has gone on long enough,” he said.

“There will be no Sharia law in Ontario. There will be no religious arbitration in Ontario. There will be one law for all Ontarians.”

McGuinty said religious arbitrations “threaten our common ground,” and promised his Liberal government would introduce legislation “as soon as possible” to outlaw them in Ontario.

“Ontarians will always have the right to seek advice from anyone in matters of family law, including religious advice,” he said. ``But no longer will religious arbitration be deciding matters of family law.”

Last December, a report from former NDP attorney general Marion Boyd recommended the province allow and regulate Sharia arbitrations much the same way it does Christian and Jewish tribunals, setting off a firestorm of protests.

Homa Arjomand, the women’s rights activist who organized a series of protests across Canada and Europe last Thursday to convince McGuinty to abandon Sharia, was elated when she heard the news late Sunday.

“I think our voice got heard loud and clear, and I thank the government for coming out with no faith-based arbitrations,” said Arjomand. “Oh, I am so happy. That was the best news I have ever heard for the past five years.”

However, despite calling for an end to all religious arbitrations, Ontario’s New Democrats were not happy with the way McGuinty handled the Sharia debate.

“By merely sitting on the issue, and by hiding his head in the sand, McGuinty allowed the debate to in fact fester and grow pretty ugly,” said NDP justice critic Peter Kormos. “That was not helpful to anything in this multicultural community of ours.”

Currently, Ontario’s Arbitration Act allows civil disputes ranging from custody and support to divorce and inheritance to be resolved through an independent arbitrator, if both parties agree.

Catholics, Mennonites, Jews, aboriginals and Jehovah’s Witnesses, among others, have — until now — used the act to settle family law questions without resorting to the courts.

But those who opposed permitting Sharia family arbitration argued that the reforms would give legitimacy and an unenforceable appearance of oversight to a legal code they say is — at its heart — unfair to women.

McGuinty said the debate around Sharia gave his government time to “step back a little bit” and look at the original decision to allow religious arbitrations in Ontario.

“It became pretty clear that was not in keeping with the desire of Ontarians to build on common ground … of one law for all Ontarians,” he said.

The premier said his wife Terri had not raised the Sharia law issue with him during the lengthy debate, but noted the 17 women in his Liberal caucus urged him to reject the idea.

Just hours before McGuinty’s announcement, a group including author Margaret Atwood, activist Maude Barlow, writer June Callwood and actresses Shirley Douglas and Sonja Smits issued an open letter to the premier on behalf of the No Religious Arbitration Coalition.

During last Thursday’s protests, angry demonstrators outside the Ontario legislature likened McGuinty to Afghanistan’s former extremist Taliban leaders for even considering Sharia.

Speakers in Toronto called McGuinty naive for saying women’s rights would not be trampled if Ontario allowed Sharia, while 100 people braved the rain in Montreal to protest the use of Sharia law in Ontario. Similar rallies were held in Ottawa and Victoria, while smaller protests were held in London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dusseldorf, Germany.

The Muslim Canadian Congress, which supported the regulation of Sharia law under Ontario’s Arbitration Act, was not immediately available to comment Sunday on McGuinty’s surprise announcement.

all the rhetoric i keep hearing about occupiers and getting "their land" back makes me wonder if they should maybe give back the land they took by force starting with the earliest jihads.

"We love peace, but when the enemy violates that peace or prevents us from achieving it, then we love nothing better than the heat of battle, the echo of explosion, and the slitting of the throats of the infidels," the tape says
In other words, do not prevent the spread of the death-cult ( RoP® )or we will kill you. Their peace is islam covering the earth, what a nightmare!

This would be a perfect time for the Gahdahn family to go public and renounce all ties with the brat that they raised. They should condemn their son's threats and let him know that he is no longer a member of their family. The monster probably won't lose any sleep over his family's rejection, but it would be a good way to condemn the monster's Islamic faith and checkmate CAIR in the process.

How sad, you could have been my son,
lost in a maze, a haze of commune i ty,
given no boundary, and disdain for authority,
consumed by self pity, blaming the "man."
Now you seek rules and structure,
submission to the book,
to the true words of allah,
to the call
of the sword,
like a warrior of old
you want glory and booty
and paradise for your soul.
Poor damned soul,
I am so grateful
you are not my son.

Posted by: the poetess at September 11, 2005 9:06 PM

I simply do not think Gadahn's family owes us any explanation or deserve to be put in a place to demounce his actions - perhaps they are better secured by not going public (though they did last year). A family member does not need to be intimidated into denouncing the actions of others - none of us should. We need to act one step above [them].

And (W)ahabbster has nothing to say.

As Savage says: "Where's Waldo?"

All you moronic, P.C., "intelligence" "officials" and LE types had better not get in between we, The People, and the jihadis, after you fail yet again to protect us. Don't do it.

Just sit back, STFU, watch, and learn.

And remember, you had billions of dollars, four years, and all the authority necessary to the job.

Posted by: Itai at September 11, 2005 10:02 PM

No, can't be!

9/11 was a plot by the Mossad and the CIA, and Mohammed Atta is alive, and the twin towers 'imploded!'

Help me, I'm confused!

The RoP keeps bombing and killing us, our asshole- politicians make more and more 'concessions', our countries are being overrun by Mohammedans, and PC-brigades keep telling us its all our own fault, the MSM shits itself for calling the devil by the name:

I S L A M

Get rid of them, shut the bloody cult down for heavens sake!

Make an end to it!

Oh, but you know, he's part of that miniscule, teensy-weensy minority of extremists who have hijacked Islam, which is really a religion of peace, tolerance, human rights, wonderment and bliss. And if you say otherwise, you're unfairly targeting Muslims. You're guilty of the dreaded backlash. And we can't have that. Not on this Day of Healing (which is how Muslims prefer to call September 11 these days, as they try to deflect the blame from Islam and onto us).

I guess California Boy is a great PR tool for Islam. Look, we got one of yours. We turned him from your decadent way of life to ours. One of yours is eager to kill you. We'll get more and you won't be safe. "Racial" profiling won't work anyway, even if you manage to stop being so stupidly PC and actually profile Muslims, because they look like you!

I've always wondered why they've decided to target Melbourne versus Sydney. Maybe too many of their own in Sydney.

Good calls on California Boy. The unspoken message is definitely "We're white too and American and on your soil."

Another unspoken message: California Boy is from the very area he targeted today.

LA has the second highest number of Jews, behind NYC, their first target...

This is Al Qaeda's annual 9/11 threat tape.What I find most interesting is the lack of coverage this jihadi tape got in the US. With the ongoing coverage of Katrina, the blame game in Washington and the anniversary of 9/11 this story got very little coverage. I wouldn't have even known of this tapes existence if I hadn't have see the information here. I'd say that's a step in the right direction.

'Peace on our terms', eh? We know all too well what they mean by this 'peace' — the subjugation of the entire World to the word of Allah, as prescribed in Qur'an's 8:39. There would be peace indeed for there would be no defiant infidels to wage war against. This really reminds of an episode in the Revenge of the Sith, where Darth Sidious says: “Once again, the Sith will rule the Galaxy, and we shall have peace.”

A peculiar analogy, don't you think?

"I've always wondered why they've decided to target Melbourne versus Sydney. Maybe too many of their own in Sydney."

I think that was the point in mentioning both LA and Melbourne. LA and Melbourne are generally perceived as being, um, secondary to New York and Sydney respectively. Saying "First NY and Madrid, next LA and Melbourne" I think the message was "You're a target no matter where you live".

(No offence to LA or Melbourne residents. I'm a Melburnian myself. I'm talking about general perceptions.)

Posted by: diag at September 12, 2005 6:26 AM

More Jews in Melbourne, that's why.

Posted by: Terminator at September 12, 2005 7:45 AM

It was odd hearing him say "Melbourne". He pronounced it Melbawwwrrrn. It's Melbun. If you're going to bomb the city, learn to say it right! Yes, I just heard that there is a large Jewish community in Melbourne, just as there is in L.A. Maybe that's the reason, or as diag says, it's to say nobody is safe anywhere.

They better not do anything doing AFL Grand Finals because that would be the death knell for Islam in Australia, let me tell you. If there's anything that'll get Aussies off their backsides, and gets them truly outraged, it's anything that ruins the footie!

Another product of California's public school system. "I went to school in California", is not a reason, but it is a good excuse.
As far as I know, this terrorist little boy, Adam, is just running off at the mouth and has not actually 'done' anything. He's not even original (none of them are), they all say that kind of stuff. He's a poster boy, thats all. He hides his face to keep us from laughing. His threats are real but he is a fraud. A little boy trying to play 'big shot'. All he wants is a little respect. He has never had any power in his life. Everyone has pushed him around. Well he's mad as hell, and he's not going to take it anymore. So he decided to become Superjihadist, the muslim boy wonder, the California Zarqawi.
Able to climb the highest mountains, and swim the deepest oceans, and slit throats with the best of them. What he really wants, besides a little respect, are those seventy two virgins.
Being Superjihadist, the California Zarqawi,
is hard on his social life. He never goes out anymore, so when he's not busy ploting mayhem, he spends a lot of time dreaming about those virgins. Allah invented the phrase,'talk is cheap', so the boy wonder better get out there and do something. If he is lucky, he will meet Allah who will give him a big hug, a pat on the back, and present him with those virgins, a Bill Clinton cigar, and a bottle of wine...what more could a superjihadist ask for?...maybe a few grapes...or one of those oranges...

In the shopping arcades of the UK you can see a myriad of teenagers all wanting to be something cool & foreign to their environment & upbringing.

I was sold a pack of cigarettes the other day by a young man who's parents I actually know - he did not recognise me at first & spoke in a fake, well, what can only be described as an East Coast American gangsta rapper accent.

When I said "Malcolm?, is that you - have you been away?" he did go bright red - if the ground could have swallowed him whole I am sure he would have welcomed it.

He had it all off to a tee - the swagger, the dialect, the uniform....

...just like this good little American boy - doing what generation after generation do - rebel against the established order.

Only these days it is'nt some swinging hep cats who want to steal themselves away to see Buddy Holly at the local Hop against their parents wishes. Its not sons & daughters of Generals & Diplomats who join the Socialist Workers Party to piss their folks off.....

No, to look really cool & sexy in certain quarters of todays Western "yoof culture", you have to be seen to be aligned with & immersed in 7th century suicide death cults.

Watch the video of this guy - the rhetoric, the hand gestures, the "eye" movement - he has obviously practiced this speech to death in front of the mirror many times, after possibly watching the "All Time Top 10 Jihad Speeches DVD" - possibly available from his local Mosque.

He should really have filtered out Omar Bakri from his viewing & influence - anyone who takes that mans persona as an example of how to scare the infidel in a speech really needs help - or a high velocity projectile, racing through his grey matter....

I realize I share somethong in common with the jihadists: a desire to eliminate the apostates. This former American (Adam G.) must be hunted down and killed. I guess this puts me on their level. Odd, I feel no remorse.

Just placed an Amazon order for Bostom's newest book as well as Spenser's ($31.00 special for both).

Posted by: omvi at September 12, 2005 11:33 AM

I wish this story had gotten more attention in the MSM. I'm glad they don't help the jihadists communicate with each other by playing their entire videos, but at least play clips to show the steadily growing Islamic drumbeats of war that these messages represent.

The MSM does quite enough of ignoring these warnings as it is, which leads to complacency, at least until after the next attack.

It is only through familiarity with what the Islamists are really saying (as opposed to what CAIR et al claims they are saying) that cities like Toronto can act rationally and intelligently.

One day we'll catch this little cockroach, and he'll revert to a hurt little boy begging for forgiveness, just like Johnny Jihad Lindh. I hope nobody falls for it.

Posted by: special_guest at September 12, 2005 1:24 PM

Mr. Gadahn states "Muslims love peace."

Really? How could they possibly know??? And how would this guy know???

Muslims have never in their sorry history known ANTHING besides warfare, carnage,bloodshed,plundering,totalitarianism, corruption, and brainwashing....

And besides that, Muslims are expressly forbidden to love anything other than al-lah and his commands.

The only thing to be believed in Gadahn's 'warning' video is that al-Qaeda plans to massacre Americans. But we didn't need him to tell us this anyway.

Muslims are saying that the reason they target America, Britian and Australia is because we went into Iraq.
This is just plain lies, and what makes it worse is that the media don't seem to have the brains to think for themselves to see the terrorism that has been going on in the world especially for the last 20 years by Muslims, they are the ones who could warn us of this carnage.........
What excuses do Muslims have during the last 20 years for targeting and murdered tens of thousands of males, females, adults, and children, all over the world, in Nigeria, the Sudan, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Armenia, Macedonia, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Chechnya, Russia, the Kashmir, Pakistan, Indonesia Philippines, Kenya, Algeria, Iran, France, Tanzania, South America and America, etc.
Muslim terrorists have attacked and murdered those they felt were a threat to their aims. No one has been spared by these treacherous people.
Even the moderate muslims dont seem to want to stop the carnage...
