Jihad website tells how 'to fight alone'

Alternate title: So You've Got Sudden Jihad Syndrome. "Jihad of one: Website tells how 'to fight alone'," from World Tribune:

An Islamist extremist Internet site last week published a book that directs terrorists on "how to fight alone."
Written by Al-Hakaymah, the "Guide for Individual Jihad" suggests ways to kill the enemy when one is fighting alone.
The recommended methods include stabbing, feeding overdoses of cocaine or heroin, injecting air via needles, assassination with guns, burning down homes, putting poisonous snakes in cars, tampering with car brakes, planting explosives in vehicles, running over people, and luring people and then killing them.
The book also highly recommends poisoning targets and includes various methods of preparing and obtaining lethal toxins, including botulism. The book also gives instructions on making improvised explosives.
"These ideas, ways, and methods are subject to development and improvisation," Al-Hakaymah stated.

Here is hoping that the West wakes up to the reality of Jihad, before the West never wakes up because it was killed while it was sleeping.

Those who keep talking about Al-Qaeda and do not see that there is no difference between the most famous of the groups that use terrorism as their favored instrument of Jihad, in the texts that prompt their members, in the attitudes that naturally arise from those texts, and in the local goals which are merely expressions of a larger goal: to everywhere push back the Infidel and remove obstacles to the spread of Islam until everywhere Islam dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere.

It could be a group: Jaish-e-Muhammad, Laskar Jihad, Lashkar Jihad, Ansar al-Sunna, Jemaah Islamiya, Gemaa Islamiyah -- mix-n'-match yourself, with the elements of this sinister Mr. Potato Head being such words as "Ansar" and "Muhammad" and "Hizb" and "Jemaah" and "Laskar" and "Sunna" and "Allah" and...oh, go ahead, make up as many conceivable names as you can. It hardly matters if one group is now focussed on smashing the Americans, in Iraq or elsewhere,or killing Infidel tourists and locals in Indonesia, or killing Israelis because no Jewish (Infidel) state can possibly be permitted, whatever its tiny size, and however even tinier and more vulnerable it is tricked into becoming, or whether the targets are Spanish Infidels at Atocha Station or English Infidels in their Underground.

It doesn't have to be a group with a name. It can be a groupuscule of five or ten people, working busily away to promote the cause of Allah.

It doesn't have to be a group. One determined individual, fi sabil Allah, can do a lot of damage. A Jihad of One. Be All That You Can Be. Run over those students in Chapel Hill. Shoot down those waiting passengers at an El Al terminal at Los Angeles Airport, or that boy, Aaron Halberstam, in a van on Brooklyn Bridge. Throw cyanide into the public water supply in the town of Greve, just outside Copenhagen. Do it.

A Jihad of One. But I forgot. I forgot that "we are fighting them over there so we won't have to fight them over here."

But I am not alone in forgetting that comfortable assumption. Others forget as well.

They -- those conducting violent Jihad and all the other kinds as well -- did.

The Enemy: islam and the muslims that spread it.
The Solution: detention, deportation, execution.

I have no desire to see islam reformed. I only wish to see it restrainted, retarded, and removed.

The world is literally on fire and suffering greatly from muslims spreading islam. Everywhere one looks, one finds muslims chopping heads.

Think about it. Removing heads is actually a common element of islamic culture. Beheading? And yet we entertain these evil men? Celebrate these evil men. Even elect them to the US Congress?

The muslims are very tricky. Better to rid yourself of them than to constantly try to uncover all their plots to spread islam.

Infidels have similar books, they are available at any gunshow or on line, granted they do not specifically target “muslims” but knowledge of self-defense is readily available. I encourage to all of you to be prepared. This world is not a peaceful place and none of you are safe as long as you live on this planet.

Posted by: Ronin [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 9:01 AM

this is nothing new it has been practiced by muhammud and his gang over 1400 years ago, and down through the ages. there are many ways we in the West can fight back and that includes many non violent ways, voting in the right politicians, emailing/ faxing/ writing/ talking to their parties. Do no do any business with muslim owned business, etc. and of course print out information, including cartoons, let the rest see how these islamist monsters reveal themselves as true cowards.

Ronin, please, there is a great difference between self defence and sneaking around stabbing people in the back or running them down in a FWD truck.

Mother Ecclesiastica it will probalby come down to fight and kill, but in the meantime we can bring them down other ways.

True but my point was, two can play at this game. Prepare to meet your enemy and he is weakened, do nothing and he wins.

Short story: Early Thursday afternoon after leaving the pharmacy I drove by the pick up window of the local Popeye's Fried Chicken shack in my neighborhood (suburb of Austin, Texas) and picked up a light lunch of three crispy chicken strips before driving on to my next destination.

Later in the afternoon I fixed a snack of toast with jam and a glass of milk. About 1:00 a.m. I awoke with a virulent case of the "grip" which lasted for eight hours. Now that I've read this post, I recall vividly the profile of the lone worker who sold me that chicken: middle-aged male with a distinct farsi accent, of which I'm deeply attuned to, having lived in Damascus during November 2004.
Coincidental ? Intentional ? At this point I really don't care.

Obviously I will not patronize that place again, and I'll probably start asking for a tour of the kitchen before eating in another restaurant.

I hope my little tale is instructive.

Monkey who-

"Here is hoping that the West wakes up to the reality of Jihad, before the West never wakes up because it was killed while it was sleeping"

The West is waking up but hasn't the energy (thanks to decades of multicultural political correctness) to get out of bed.

How to fight alone huh? I recommend reading some books like this one, “Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs: the Unknown History of the Men and Women of World War II's OSS”. Lots of detailed info on fighting alone surrounded by the enemy and with limited resources. You can learn a lot from a guy like Wild Bill Donovan. The above is just one, there many other good books out there.

And people think I'm paranoid because I never leave my garage door opened and unattended for long and if I do I check my car for tampering.

If the Jihad philosophy and the examples of killing cited on that website do not conjure up images of an army of devils, I don't know what else might. We truly are locked in a war with evil.

Islam is a pox upon the globe.

Posted by: Foehammer [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 11:59 AM

Foehammer, I just returned from the fleamarket and saw I was being followed by three "asians" ok, they were muslims. Two things they didn't like: me being an infidel and my "support Denmark" t-shirt. Two things they didn't know: I saw them and I am fast enough and well trained enough they would have never heard my weapon fire. Paranoid is one thing, prepared is another. I think we are of a like mind, preparation is the key. I would rather them get froggy with me than some unsuspecting and unaware, liberal. I think these “asian youths” must have decided it wasn’t worth it because they walked away, too bad because they could have met allah. Sok boyz I’ll be back next week.

A pox, Islampox, that's the new name. Should we use the nuclear vaccine or the conventional one?

Posted by: Pelayo [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 1:42 PM

The Koran is bad enough, now we have this new book to guard against.

Mohammad had a warped mind, and so does this guy, Al-Hakaymah. BOTH men are full of evil lies and are nothing more than the tools of the devil (satan); and only those driven by hate would disagree.

The Bible states that the devil is a liar and the father of it, and that the devil is a murderer:

John 8:44, "You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Knowing this truth, the devil is easy to spot.

It is pure evil. But the stubborn refusal to acknowledge the evil by free world and mainstream media is even a greater evil.

Posted by: pagan [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 4:10 PM

"But the stubborn refusal to acknowledge the evil by free world and mainstream media is even a greater evil."

More pertinently, the latter problem (I wouldn't call it an "evil" per se*) is a direct impediment to our solution to the former evil, and we cannot do anything substantive about the former evil without first surmounting the latter problem. And pretending like the latter problem does not exist, or is trivial, or is isolated to "elites", is not a sound and rational way of going about to surmount it.

* (E.g.: It is an evil when manifested in the likes of a Noam Chomsky, et al.; it is not an evil, but rather a problem or a disease, when manifested in the likes of a Condi Rice, et al.)

Posted by: remote_control [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 4:51 PM

All interesting thoughts, but please remember that there are Muslims (even former Muslims for they do not practise being a Muslim) who want to live in peace with us. I know Muslims in this category.

The goal should be to continue leading these Muslims by example so that they will become more curious about Christianity. They are told lies about Chrisitanity. They are so ignorant that they rely upon the imam to tell them that they must be angry. When that happens then Satan is once again unleashed.

Dominic are you there? I went along to the faith freedom forum after what you posted from what is allegedly an 18 year old ignorant SOB who refuses to speak to women. Now this one is a real problem, and if anyone gets hold of his IP address then he should be reported. He could become the lone Jihadi type in Canada.

Do not judge all by the behaviour of the few, but definitely condemd the behaviour of those who are engaging in Jihad.

I do agree with Zena Warrior Princess that the first line of attack is with words, not violence. Do we want to emulate them? Or do we want to set the example on how to behave? If the Marines had behaved in Abu Gharib then the USA would not have lost the moral high ground with so many. The actions of the few soldiers destroyed a lot of reputations, not just their own. The same is true with regard to Guantanamo Bay. If you do not want the criticism and add fuel to the fire, then do not behave in a way that will invite the ire of monkeys dogs and pigs.

Do you want to know why Muslims fear pigs so much? If they were to eat pig they think that they are committing an act of cannibalism.

Posted by: Maggie4Life [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 6:13 PM

Maggie,

The is no moral equivalency with islam nor are there any “good” muslims. There are only two types: practicing muslims and name only muslims (non practicing). The pious, allah fearing (and obeying) muslims are the jihadis, the non violent muslims are the backsliders who do not follow mad mohammads rules for life. You cannot be a half muslim any more than you can be half pregnant.

I realize not all muslims will go into a violent rage or commit hideous criminal acts but refusing to condemn those who do makes them at best guilty of harboring criminals and at worst a facilitator. Because islam cannot be questioned or changed there is only one way to deal with muslims.

You have to consider each and everyone of them one verse away from being a raving, mindless, jihadi bent on your destruction. It is wise to deal with each as an individual, they may be name only muslims hiding behind the title of muslim out of fear of their fellow muslims. They could also be lying to you. Befriend all the muslims you want, buy their goods and enjoy yourselves, do so with the full realization you may have to kill this individual at some point to protect those you love. If you are so inclined to peacefully coexist, you simply have to make damn sure they are not practicing muslims and hope they never regain their religion, good luck with that.

All the talk of Abu Gharib and soldiers or marines mistreating muslims is whitewash. Jihad has an unbroken history of warfare on anyone and everyone muslim and infidel alike. Jihad was around long before America. Even if somehow millions of muslims would have been striped naked, placed on a leash and photographed it would not be equivalent to one beheading, one roadside bombing or one attack on a church, mosque, synagogue or any other house of worship. Until I see a majority of muslims openly attempting to change and modernize islam and actively rounding up the small 1.2 billion percentage who are violent I will consider the vast majority as not as dangerous but as the enemy of all I hold dear.

Posted by: Ronin [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 7:16 PM

It should have read "I will consider the vast majority as not only dangerous but also as my enemy and the enemy of all I hold dear”.

Posted by: Ronin [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 7:30 PM

I wonder if it would be a good idea, when the war starts, for Western patriots to employ similar strategies against our local mosque, Muslim leader, Muslim shock troops, or liberal/conservative appeaser?

Posted by: meharistes [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 7:31 PM

meharistes,

Our methods work much better. Keep in mind our troops have not fought at 100% in any battle with islamic forces. We follow the rules, tie our hands, cover one eye and still stomp the crap out of them.

Posted by: Ronin [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 7:41 PM

I'm talking about a real war of national defense, not the sideshow that is Iraq. I'm not completely convinced, once Muslims start hitting the US and Europe and our people start demanding war, that our so-called leaders will provide the necessary response. Oh sure, they'll prosecute those Americans and Europeans unlucky enough to get caught defending their families and property, but I bet the main concern of the American and European governments will be to protect...Muslims (and other designated non-Western 'victim groups'). That's why I think Western citizens may have to mount our own defense.

Posted by: meharistes [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 14, 2006 8:13 PM

The vast majority will never submit we will fight if it comes to it. If the Government picks a side it may mean another civil war. Keep in mind who fights our wars, the political elite could find themselves going against the same soldiers, they sent to fight the same muslims they are attempting to protect. The elite academics will have the same problem, the warriors are on the other side.

Off-Topic FYI: There is an ESPN special tomorrow morning (Sunday morning at 9:30am EST) on Pat Tillman called "Outside the Lines" which deals with his journey from the NFL to Afghanistan and tragic death. The preview showed fellow Rangers being interviewed who were there at the scene on the day he was killed. Maybe this will settle the issue of how he died once and for all. I hope so, but I also hope that it will be mainly a tribute to one Man's bravery, dedication, and sacrifice for his country, for all of us. Pat Tillman, American Hero, RIP.

Well, I think Europe is already experiencing civil war, if you consider the recent race riots in Britain, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands "civil war." It's a low-level civil war, but civil war nonetheless. And I think it's only going to get worse.

In recent years, some European Socialist governments have been importing Muslim and other third world populations and granting them voting rights, which has resulted in Muslims gaining political power. Some of the Muslim officials have ties to extremist groups, including the extremist Grey Wolves of Turkey. I think a violent clash in Europe is inevitable.

I frequently travel to London, as part of my job, and I occasionally meet with political risk analysts. During the course of a recent conversation, some European analysts told me (off the record) that they are aware ('through the grapevine') of a group of British ex-officers who are recruiting ex-military and intelligence professionals to form a private, clandestine security network to put in place in the event of a clash w/Muslim groups and terrorist gangs in Britain and Europe. I'm not sure I believe it, but if it's true, I'm glad it's happening.

We live in interesting times! And I think it's about to get a lot more interesting.

First of all, the government needs to hack sites like these. Never mind what people look at on the Internet-sites like these are obviously encouraging the enemy to commit acts of war.

Second, this proves how unpeaceful this "peaceful religion" is. What other religion in the world advocates this kind of activity?

Third, profiling and deportations are necessary tools in this fight against the scourge of our times.

A "Jihad of One"? Is this a take-off on the US military recruitment slogan, "An Army of One?"

This is a bit OT, but I'd like to do an update on the case of Omeed Aziz Popel, San Francisco's SUV killer and victim of "Sudden Jihad Syndrome". Popel ran over and killed a man in Fremont, California, then took a half hour drive to more target-rich San Francisco and mowed down twenty more people over a mile-long stretch. He tried to hit many other people who were too fast for him. In several cases, he hit people on one street, then circled around to try to hit the same people again, or to target people trying to help the victims he had hit the first time.

Firstly, sadly, this will never be tried as an act of terrorism or a hate crime. Popel never actually mentioned "Islam". There have been a lot of denouncements in the media over how the public was jumping to conclusions in considering this an act of terrorism. One letter writer to the San Francisco Chronicle went so far as to say that considering this an act of terrorism was in itself "a hate crime". That's how crazy things are here.

Popel may not have mentioned Islam per se, but he did say when captured that "All these people deserve to die", and said that he was especially aiming at police officers. When he finally found one (trying to apprehend him near the end of his spree), he savagely rammed the Police car. The officer sustained some serious injuries. He was trying to ram the car agin when he was arrested by other officers.

So what prompted this? Popel was a bit of an underacheiver, and had just returned from Afghanistan, where he had gotten married. Supposedly he was distraught because his controlling family had not let him stay in Afghanistan with his new bride until she could get her visa and join him in the US. He took out his frustration on his family by mowing down a bunch of infidels.

His first victim was, ironically, an emergency room nurse. A lot of this man's professional counterparts would soon be aiding other of Popel's victims.

Much was made of the killer's supposed shaky mental state, although this was something even close relatives of his knew nothing about. One of his victims in San Francisco was an elderly African American man who sustained severe injuries. His daughters decided to attend Popel's hearing to determine his mental fitness to stand trial.

The daughters, both good Christians, seemed pre-disposed to forgive their father's attacker and would-be killer. They remarked at their surprise at how small a man Popel was (as if a person's size makes a difference if they are using a huge SUV as a weapon).

The sisters hugged members of Popel's family, even though neither Popel or any of his family members expressed any remorse or regret over the rampage. In fact, the only statement from the family have been to note that Popel has mental problems and so was not responsible for his actions, and to complain about a news program which showed the family's ordinary Fremont tract home which might lead to--what else?--backlash violence against the family. They didn't seem to care about the violence done to Popel's victims.

Finally, and perhaps most sadly, the sisters noted another reason they felt sorry for Popel. He was muttering during the heaing, and at first the women were not sure what he was saying. Then, they realized that the man was *praying*. They felt great empathy for Popel, because they thought he was praying because he was scared. I doubt that it would ever occur to these two sweet Christian ladies that his praying might have meant something much more ominous.
