Al-Qaida Targeting Children, Saudi Family Doesn't Pass The Laugh Test | ||||||||
2003-11-11 | ||||||||
By Bruce Kennedy, Jihad Unspun Bruce Kennedy? That's a good Muslim name... To think that the US, and the Saudi royal family for that matter, would believe that Muslims would actually buy their spin that Al-Qaida would target an affluent, residential neighborhood in Riyadh, full of children while parents where participating in festivities during the holy month of Ramadhan is beyond comprehension. This latest âAl-Qaidaâ accusation comes at a time when George W Bush is failing miserably in the reelection poles [sic] and his only hope is to please his Israeli masters and as the Saudi royals are desperate to maintain their dwindling oil contracts and likewise dwindling relationship with America which their fragile economy depends on.

#11 Stolen from VoxPopuli, regarding Islam the religion of Piece (as in pieces and parts of babies, women and chidren): "The second Caliph to succeed Muhammad, Umar ibn al-Khattab, was assassinated, as was the third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan, as was the fourth Caliph, Ali ibn Abi Talib. This history of violence was not inconsequential. The fifth Caliph and founder of the Ummayad dynasty, Muawiyyah, managed to survive long enough to pass the holy mantle of leadership to his son Yazid, who, when faced with a challenge to his rule by Muhammed's grandson, Husain, did not hesitate to massacre Husain and all his followers, including Husain's infant son. The murders of Ali and Husain were the first great grievances of the Shiah i-Ali, better known to us in the West as the Shiite Muslims. And many centuries of similar "pacifism" followed, hence the Abbasid, Fatimid, Seljuk, Safavid, Moghul and Ottoman Empires. I think it's also worth pointing out that the first two Abbasid Caliphs, Abul-'Abbaas 'Abdullah bin Muhammad al-Saffaah (750 AD) and Abu Ja'far 'Abdullah bin Muhammad al-Mansoor (754) bore surnames "the bloodshedder" and "the victorious". Strange titles for the leaders of such a famously peaceful religion." |

#10 About the "holy" month of Ramadan: don't make the mistake Ramadan and Christmas ("Peace on Earth for the men of good will"). For Al Quaida and their ilk it is the better month for Jihad: just take a look at Algeria where since the start of civil war, year after year, Ramadan has been a month of terror with an increase both in the number of attacks and the sadism of the murders. |

#9 Funny. Recently, in one of the messages from one of my ML (the one that quotes... DEBKA. Hum), there was speculations on the new "psychological war" about to be engaged by fundies, both in Iraq (to separate the pop. from the US through insecurity, and to make GWB reelection difficult through steady stream of casualties), and in the muslim world (by spreading conspiracy theories about attacks being perpretated by US intelligence). Seems the guy in the message was right! I'm so proud of him! Btw, more serious, the worrying thing Also, a definite and not recent tendancy to exonerate islamists of their crimes; that was done especially regarding Algeria (by the "liberal" TV network specializing in antiamericanism), or more insidiously by inverting values (french jews are accused of colluding with the far right against poor muslims, "anti-antiamericanists" are deemed supporters of GWB... all this while muslim antisemitism diguized or not as antisionism is supported by theses same antidiscrimination groups). IMHO, in Europa (?) and at least in France, there is a definite collusion between islamofascists & antiglobos/leftists, if not in goals, at leats in methods. |

#6 If the Muslims are not reading the news, why is "Bruce" bothering to refute this? It must be just for Rantburg. |

#5 We should have learned not to trust the Reelection Poles after they made Chairman Mao Emperor of Austria-New Zealand in the disastrous Crimean War of Independence. |

#4 Hey, I agree with the author. Islam is the Religion of Peace and the folks from Al-Qaida would never go around blowing people up. Unless of course, the victims were Joos, Crusaders, infidels, westerners, the wrong flavor of Muslim, or simply "collateral damage". I'm starting to wonder if "Religion of Peace" is actually "Religion of Pieces". It's easy for mistakes like this to arise when a written language lacks vowels. Rather like the confusion between "white raisins" and "virgins". |

#2 FYI - Al-Qaida, via its mouthpiece Al-Jitzz does claim responsibility for this act. And since when did Al-Qaida balk at murdering women and children? |

#1 "The mentality of Mujahideen and the literature of the Al-Qaida and related parties is very clear. There is no way they would attack Muslims unless they are collateral damage" "Of course, we view collateral damage differently than those kafir Americans!" |
