Mr Dean said a witness who attended the same camp would give evidence at the hearing that he saw Kent at the camp, and that on three occasions bin Laden visited the camp when they were there.

The case depends on a fellow jihadist testifying in an infidel court against these accused jihadists? I hope these prosecutors know what they are doing, and don't get a surprise on the witness stand in front of the jury that sets the jihadists free.

ALL JW BLOGGERS TAKE HEART

You are all ahead of your time. The public in your respective countries are blissfully unaware of the true nature of the evil we all face.

Ignorance is bliss is it not? No doubt we all remember when we just 'got on with our lives' without this nagging knowledge at the back of our minds.

Nowadays our lives are more complicated and our frustration mounting. This frustration rears its head the most when we hear our politicians proclaiming our enemies to be harmless or when a celebrity chooses the 'popular' causes like this morning a woman on the BBC news who said "I would love to play a Palestinian refugee, (actress), as i'm on their side at the moment". This an English woman who has nothing to do with the middle east yet has followed the terrorist propaganda with zest. Little does she know about the rockets launched at Israeli towns, FOR WEEKS BEFORE the kidnapping, from Hamas terrorists using Palestinian homes for launching platforms and surrounding themselves with children as human shields with the blessing of the children’s parents.

Our frustration also rears its head when we speak to neighbors or friends who state the mantra that "Islam is a peaceful religion" and firmly believe it without a smidgen of knowledge of it. Even without such knowledge they don’t want to believe their eyes and ears about the 5,000+ fatal terrorist acts committed since 9/11 and only by Muslims. (partly due to censorship in the MSM). Our culture is now based on self loathing and having no principals and never standing up for them.

Our frustration is the same a Churchill’s in the years prior to WW2. Churchill bashed away in the House of Commons week in week out proclaiming the Nazi threat. He was denounced on more than one occasion as a lunatic, with the government attempting the reign him in. Then (as now), there were the appeasers who flew to Nazi Germany and sought peace treaties and business deals with the devil. Then there was also the intelligentsia / liberal elite who spouted popular kind words about how the Nazi's were leading Germany's economy to strength etc.
The British public fell for this hook line and sinker for a few years, (just as now).

It took real hard belligerent acts for the people to wake up from their pacifist liberal slumber an face the Nazi threat. More serious acts than the breathing space of the Sudentland invasion and then the fall of Austria. No not even then. Finally the invasion of Poland was the tipping point.

Then as now, there were a few (inc Churchill) who must have been screaming blue murder and experiencing the same frustration as us Jihad Watchers.

So what can be done?

LEARN from them (back then), make your voices heard, tell your friends and neighbors the facts and what is really going on. Write to your politicians and call them. Educate as many people as possible. Direct them to this site and others like it.

TAKE HEART !

We are ahead of our time and it it a shame that (just as in Churchill's day), it is going to take a massive destructive act against us for the threat to be faced full on.

But we can be assured that we are the ones who will have the power of knowledge to assist, and the benefit of foresight to handle the frustration we all feel right now.

Brenbrika said: "If we want to die for jihad we have to do maximum damage, maximum damage, damage to their buildings and everything and damage their lives."

And who will be their targets? Ordinary folks who work for a living, people who spend their time creating the wealth that such People of the Book of Submission would steal.

Brenbrika's words are not a matter of religious faith-they are words that treat beliefs as if they are fact-they are delusions. His words are the words of a mentally ill person. Too many People of the book of Submission hate reality and are violence prone psychotics.

The denial of reality by the People of the Book of Submission will cause their violence to increase, their arrogance (always a cover for insecurity) to become greater as they face their weakness. Their delusions will become weirder as they are forced to confront reality by the rest of the world. That's the unpleasant reality that we must face. (Israel is dealing with these psychotics in a realistic manner.)

Condi is visiting Beirut.

Is the news false, are the policy makers just plain clear mad, or Condi is on a suicide trip, or is America sending out the signal that it is with hezbollah by sending her into war zone and thereby limiting IDF's operations ?

No mention to free the soldiers so IDF shall withdraw its offensive.

Churchill1938, well put comments. I also have been educating people on the true nature of islam and have opened the eyes of a number of them. I just do it with facts and examples and no ranting. Keep up the good work.
