Iraqi jihad update from Al-Bawaba, with thanks to Sr. Soph. Note also that Hamas and Hizballah have joined CAIR in calling for the release of the kidnapped collaborators:
At least 27 Iraqi students and police officers were killed on Tuesday by a suicide bombing carried out by two female bombers in Baghdad. The attack occurred in a classroom of students in the Baghdad Police Academy, according to a US military report. At least 32 others were wounded as well in the blast.Also on Tuesday, Iraqi police sources revealed that the bodies of 20 Iraqis, believed to be civilians, were found in separate locations in the Anbar region of western Iraq....
Meanwhile, a statement signed by 25 prominent Muslim individuals and organizations, including Hamas and Hizbullah, called on Monday for the release of four western hostages by their Iraqi captors.
Among the signatories was Khaled Mishaal, of Hamas, and two officials of the Lebanon's Hizbullah.
The statement, issued by the Muslim Association of Britain, stated that "Such peace activists should have been welcomed into Iraq and treated as honorable guests instead of being kidnapped and used as bargaining chips."
Four Christian peace activists, including a Briton, an American, and two Canadians, were abducted last week in Iraq.
"While fully supporting the right of the Iraqi people to resist occupation with all legitimate means, we denounce as illegitimate any act of aggression against innocent civilians," the statement added.
"We therefore call for the immediate release of these four hostages and of all other Western civilians kidnapped in Iraq."
Most foreign hostages have been released after kidnapping, but around 50 have been executed, at times by beheading.
In accord with Qur'an 47:4, which directs Muslims to "strike the necks" of the unbelievers.

"The statement, issued by the Muslim Association of Britain, stated that 'Such peace activists should have been welcomed into Iraq and treated as honorable guests instead of being kidnapped and used as bargaining chips.'"
"Such peace activists", eh? But if they were human rights activists of the sort that helped to overthrough one of the Middle East's worst despots and help Iraqis rebuild their country, would the MAB be interceding on their behalf?

8.012 In Sura Eight "Al-Anfal" (Spoils of War, Booty)
Note: the Bible has no book on warfare and stealing.
008.012 YUSUFALI: 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." PICKTHAL: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. SHAKIR: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
What a 'religion'!

Well, I guess if Hamas and Hizbullah are calling for the release of peace activists. . .then we DID finally get through to them! They're nice guys after all! Let's invite them to the White House lawn for a signing ceremony!
Condi- I may love you, and you'll beat Hillary in 2008, but you suck for Israel.

George Galloway knows all about 'legitimate resistance'. At the Global Unity Conference, on Sunday 4 December, he had this to say. (Spelling and capitalisation original, bold highlighting mine.)
'I can only support the Chairman of Islam Channel in his call for Engagement of the Muslim Community in British Society, but this engagement must be one based on a position of strength and not weakness. We must let the Government know that if anymore of our cities, Damascus, Iran or anywhere alse is attacked, we will not only protest in Parliament but we will Riot on the streets of Britain. Every single Terrorism legislation has been aimed at the Muslim community and I tell you this Mr Blair, you can criminalise who you want, but I will carry on supporting the Intifadha in palestine, the Intifadha in Iraq and all the other Intifadhas.'
Sometimes I wonder whose side he is on. But not often. Clue 'our cities', 'we will riot'.

The islamofascists or "bathists' or whoever are applying the same terroristic tactics that the V.C used in Vietnam. They are misguided. The V.C. was NOT a "popular grassroots" entity, proven by Tet'68, and consequently destroyed in that battle. Contrary to what the pathetic media reported.
The point is that the war had basically been won by 1971 or '72. Our abandonment(stopping material support, and especially air support; the North conventional invasion could have been obliterated) of the South before they were ready is how the war was lost. The islamofascists are counting on the opposition party in the U.S.A. to hand them a victory as was done in Vietnam. Islamic instead of communistic support from outside sources are feeding the "resistence", but the structure is similar, and can be defeated.
The MEDIA AND THE OPPOSITION PARTY IS WHAT WILL CAUSE A DEFEAT, if allowed.
This goes back to Vietnam, THEY MUST RATIONALIZE AND JUSTIFY THEIR attitudes, behavior and the consequences from that time, they must continue to "prove" they were "correct", they must maintain the image they manufactured at that time, regardless of the consequences. I don't have time to clarify this more, but there is a connection. Bye...

Interesting variation that the female suicide explodedopes doing it in pairs.
An interesting circumstance would be to find out if they were birkaded.
Need to use two head shots if protecting people or installations.
Time for more profiling and more deportations.

Snark alert.
If male suicide bombers get 72 female virgins (and some young boys thrown in, depending on who you ask), what do the female terrorists get?
Posted by: Insomniac at December 6, 2005 9:21 AM
They are reporting now that it was two male bombers disguised as females.

I wonder what the koran has to say about cross-dressing? Do they get 72 virgin transvestites?

As I'm sure you are implying, the "palestinian" street gangs have made good strategic use of willful collaborators and their dupes. If these four "peace activists" are beheaded, the "palestinian" thugs know that it will be bad for business. Enticing new collaborators to come to the muslim hell-holes and dutifully serve them as human shields, propaganda fodder, and whatever other uses the gangs may have for them will become much more difficult.

Apparently Reuters and MSNBC is reporting that the suicide bombers where apparently male afterall. Maybe witnesses saw males disguised as women? Certainly there has been increasing concern about women acting as suicide bombers.

During the Dutch terror trial for the gruesome murder of ace Dutch Film-maker Van Gauh,the wife of the killer,Malika Chabi discribed in the court,how Koran priscribes the mode of killing a non-muslim. She said"A throat must be cut from the front,but not entirely-so there must be maximum suffering"! What a peaceful istructions from a most holy book! Incidentally,muslims are directed to kill the birds,or animals for food in the same way,and that is considered as 'halal' (permitted to muslims)to eat!. Just immagine how the chickens,goats,cows,and camels suffer-half cut and thrown out jumping,and bleeding till they die!.I think the muslims acquire a mindset of not being morally responsible,afraid or hesitate to kill or torture other human beings,and to send their own sons and daughters for suicide bombing.

New idea: 72 homicide bombers blowing themselves up at the same time & place. I can see something resembling a ticker-tape parade.
If we could just get them to practice this at home.

The carnage goes on in Iraq : frankly its a hopeless cause. At least the Kurds now have a homeland for which they are grateful.
Otherwise expect Iraq to fracture into three along ethnic & religious lines. HOW MANY TIMES DOES HISTORY HAVE TO REPEAT
BEFORE THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LEARNED AND WISE REALISE MULTICULTURALISM IS A MYTH!!
You can bomb countries into Peace[ha,ha] but not a lasting one for problems are still there simmering away beneath. Whether it's the Balkans, Iraq or Africa which so
called E.U experts lecture on - citing the joys of 'Multiculturalism' - it doesn't & won't work.
Besides some of the 'experts' are getting rattled
as cold reality dawns that 'it is their countries
hitherto remote and privileged that the Jihadis are attacking.'
As for Galloway he is the worst sort of traitor willing to sell his country for gold in his greedy outstretched hands. Even a Muslim on an Islamic website said 'he was disgusted that
Galloway was in Ireland on a speaking engagement worth thousands of pounds when he [Galloway] had
promised them support at a local rally.'

muslims killing muslims is okay.. unless your a western peace activist...then hammas comes out for you.. twisted world....they have ways to kill non-muslims.. but for muslims killing muslims, its bombs away..bits and pieces..

Despite MPACUK removing the the audio post from its website, I wonder at what point George's loud mouth will finally get him tried for sedition and not just booted from the Labour Party?
Any UK bloggers care to speculate?

At the present rate of murder bombings (we don't say "suicide bombers" here... we don't buy into this terminology) Iraq's population may number about twelve within a decade or so including US troops.

As for how animals are slaughtered, may I quote the following:
An hadith reported by Muslim states, "[W]hen you must kill a living being, do it in the proper way - when you slaughter an animal, use the best method and sharpen your knife so as to cause as little pain as possible." When he saw a man sharpening his knife in the presence of the animal he was to kill, the Prophet said, "Do you intend inflicting death on the animal twice - once by sharpening the knife within its sight, and once by cutting its throat?

Kentim, there is no analogy between the V.C and Islam.
I lived with the Viet Namese, worked and fought with them, and a hamlet Chief actually saved my miserable life on the night of the Tet Offense.
The V.C. were a foreign ideology, which vast portions of the population did not support or believe, at the very best any support given by the population was out of self preservation and against Colonialism, yet I knew many a Viet Namese that liked and admired America and it's way of life.
Culturally Viet Namese were either Buddhists or CAtholics and there in lies a big difference beween Viet Nam and Iraq.
Islam on the other hand is it's own ideology, cradle to grave, which is doctrinally hostile to the non believer.
Yes, we did beat the V.C. during Tet, and yes the Media did not portray Tet as a victory, that considered there is no analogy or comparison between Viet Nam and Iraq.
Which Mr Spencers exhaustive posts and comments about militant Islam.. prove.

Hello Nariz,
My point is not ideological similarity, or cultural.
My point is 1st.-- terror tactics.
2nd-- Necessary foreign support; funds, material,propaganda and manpower.
3rd-- The general population does not support the goals of the "resistence".
4th-- The media and various institutions, and politicians of a certain party are acting in the best interests of our enemy.
5th-- those of #4 also minimize and deny the threat, they even propose the threat(it's a law enforcement issue) is manufactured for money gain or some-such.
6th-- cut and run is the only way our enemy can win.
While the reason those in #4 supported the take-over of S.Vietnam was because they sympathized with the (proclaimed) ideals of the communists, they support the islamists now because it hurts their opposition here, therefore a defeat in Iraq is a victory for the Dems.
Sure, I know islam is nuts, probably worse than communism or nazism, but they can be "corrupted" and pacified. That's why we're in the M.E. The Grand Pragmatic Project. We're gonna hijack islam. It ain't gonna happen overnight. Afghan and Saddam were easy excuses, now we're in islam's back yard where we need to be.
It'd be a hell of alot easier if the rest of the non-muslim world figured it out.
Get control(we choose who and how) of the institutions, information, education, redefine words, reinterpret history and laws, change the "frame of reference". You know, like what's already been done here.
They won't be able to resist, just think of all the fun they've been missing!
It's gonna take probably 100 years before shit simmers down over there. But it will. Rats in a cage... Or was it Pavlov's dog?
Islam is shooting it's last bolt, cause it knows once the oils gone, islam is history. This is it, the finale.
The existence of WMD(in the world)makes it imperative that we stay on the offensive.
The alternative is to exterminate the world muslim population(that would be very ugly). Isolating them won't work, I don't think.
Their problem is mostly sexual...

Um, "resistance".
Posted by: kentim at December 6, 2005 11:36 PM
Interested:
George Galloway's allegiances are with MUSLIMS in the Middle East. George Galloway is married to a Muslim and is likely a Muslim himself. He addresssed the Global Unity Conference like he has some kind of kindered spirit with the Muslims in the Middle East.
The Brits should deport "loose canon George" to the Middle East.
