| Al-Qaeda releases rap video glorifying 9/11 | |
| 2004-02-10 | |
Al-Qaida released a new rap video clip that promotes Jihad and incites against heretics entitled "Filthy Heretics", reported the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat on Monday. A shot of the Twin Towers in New York shortly before the plane crash of September 11 features in the four-minute-long video clip to the sound of revolutionary chants of radical Islamists. The lyrics praise Bin Laden as a "star shining in the sky", and are sung to pictures of the planes approaching the World Trade Center.

| #41 Oh and just so you know, while God may potentially have a gazillion faces there are some things he is NOT, for instance you cannot claim that Baal was a face of God (yes this would be the god that wanted children thrown into a furnace for him), or the gods the Incans and Carthagians worshipped was a face of God (human sacrifice ring any bells?), or Shiva, Kali (human sacrifice again as well as burning widows alive as a way of keeping them with their hubbies). Sorry man, but you're dead wrong, and if you're wondering where I get my argument from its from the Catholic Church itself. We've spent millenia arguing this and people like you are always around to muddy the waters and mix others up. |

| #40 Really? Thats funny, because by Islamic belief Allah resides on the Moon and no mortal could ever step on the Moon, seems however WE did land on the moon, anyone find a god there? Oh and according to the Koran there is no mention of God creating anything, including man, everything just seems to have already been created. Then theres the omnipotent God in the Bible vs the Allah of the Koran, want to know the big difference there? The one in the Bible is indifferent to whether people worship him or not as He doesn't NEED our worship to make him important or to simply exist, He just IS, it is only through his infinite capacity for mercy that we are given second, third or however many chances so that if we sin or turn away from God he always is waiting to accept us back. The one in the Koran says to kill all the infidels because there can be only one religion and only one worship of him. Any who don't worship must die or become slaves. This type of god desparately needs man to stay in existance and have some meaning. Sorry last I checked any being that has the power to create the universe could give a rats arse whether or not a bunch of evolved monkeys care to worship him. You're not going to win the argument that Allah is God under those kind of conditions. But I think I know why you say that, you're a moral relativist aren't ya? |

| #36 Your theory is flawed Antiwar because the religions Holy Books are written by prophets who are writing down Gods commands/words/will. If they all have the same God then I guess He must have split-personalities. |

| #34 Allah and God are the same!!! Decisions about women driving etc arent made by God. By the way women were educated when Saddam was president.So there you go. |

| #33 We're not prejudiced against muslims, anon, only those who want to kill us. Allah is not my God. My God wants my daughter to drive, get an education, and be more than a breeder and be all that she can be. |

| #31 Anonymous, Sorry for the name calling yesterday, me bad. You've fought with energy today. Get a name and keep it up. But remember "you can learn a lot from a crash dummy." If you are a Christian then you know that Mohammed was a fake and Islam is fake. You know that Islam gloms on to other religions and takes its holy places. Once taken it becomes jihadi against those who don't submit. |

| #30 anon #25. Please hang out more often. I'd look forward to reading good posts and insightful comments. With your background you could really add to the U. Jarhead, God speed. |

| #29 It is the same God different religions just pray to and worship him in different ways. Yes different religions have different beliefs about Him but he is still the same God. |

| #28 "So I suppose its ok for Bush and his mercenaries to take life???" -Yes, it is ok. BTW, Anono-ass is right - I am a mercenary......a mercenary of love (cue the Barry White music). Just kidding, actually I hope we kill every islamonut we can. Fry those motherfucker's up like catfish on a Friday night during lent. I have no remorse for them or their ilk. I also have no remorse for any muslim who gives tacit approval to their heinous deeds. |

| #27 I don't think that Anonymous is Faisal. The syntax is different. His English is good but doesn't use a lot of slang and has trouble with punctuation, so I'm guessing non-native speaker. His diatribes are just cut and pastes of far left talking points -- no real analysis going on there. He says that he's Christian, but never seems to base his arguments on Biblical precepts. My guess is European grad student in American university. I'm probably wrong, but it's fun to play. |

| #25 Well, wherever s/he's from, Anonymous is dreadfully ignorant of basic religious beliefs and doctrine. Just because "Allah" is translated "God" doesn't mean the Moslem, Jewish and Christian worship the same God. Beyond the belief that there is one God, these religions have very different conceptions of who that God is, how he relates to humans and what our obligations are. And in the end, that is what matters. And that is why religions aren't interchangeable. And finally, yes - I do know all about comparitive biblical studies, the sociology of religious practices, common origins of myths and so on. I've got an advanced degree in the field. And yes, I do read Hebrew and a (some) Arabic too. |

| #24 When Anono-mouse says As for Blair he is a liar too. The article is there for emphasis, as it is in some East european languages. If he said 'Blair is liar too" it would mean Blair is just a common or garden liar, but 'a liar' means he is special kind of liar. Also he gets 'too' right which is something they drum into people in english classes but many native english speakers get wrong. So fess up Anono-mouse! |

| #23 Nah Shipman! When the 'OneGod' was handing out articles, he really short changed the east europeans its a dead give away! He also mixes US and UK idioms. So we know for sure he gets BBC and CNN. |

| #22 It is the same God you twit. Allah means God in Arabic. Maybe you should think once in a while. |

| #20 Anono-mouse is a student seeing if his english passes muster. Certainly from some where in Eastern Europe. My guess is a Russian working out his guilt over the Chechnya bloodbath. |

| #19 When did Bush hire mercenaries? And where are they operating? I'm not real thrilled with using mercenaries, because -- inexplicably -- they're not covered under the Geneva Conventions. Or is the asshat calling US troops mercenaries? I'd like to see him say that to a Marine's face. |

| #18 Its all the same God you know. Once again, provide a link to something that would lead you to believe this. I get the feeling you see the world as you wish it to be, without regard for the facts. Nice dream, but watch out for reality - it has this funny way of sneaking up on you. |

| #16 You are obviusly prejudiced against muslims.Its all the same God you know. So I suppose its ok for Bush and his mercenaries to take life??? War on Terror? What a crock. Bush etc are the terrorists.Incase you are wondering I am Christian |

| #15 "Human life should be taken by God alone. Posted by" What a crock!Tell that to the murdering bastards in Al Q,Hezb,etc.And make sure you have a fresh,clean Burqa. "Im sure lots of muslims condemn 9/11" Like who.CAIR,ISA strange that they haven't condemned these assholes loud and often.Odd that we have not heard of even one terror cell being broken with information from these "Peacefull" American Muslems. Quite interesting that an awfull lot of funding keeps flowing through American Mosques too Islamic"Charities"(a.k.a.Terrorists). As far as I can see these"Peacefull"American Muslems are terrorists by proxy. |

| #14 Didn't you hear ? George Bush's foreign policy acting caused 9/11. Yeah, I think if I went to church and the preacher said "death to Islam pig dogs" and offered me a trip to military training camp as a spiritual rite, and praised followers who blew themselves up at Haj killing thousands, I think I might stop going to that church. And if I lived in Saudi Arabia, I might feel obligated to stand up and say, "The people who did this are wrong." Just me. |

| #13 Yes someONE not every person of that religion thats my point. |
| Posted by: Anonymous 2004-2-10 7:53:46 AM |
| #12 Im sure lots of muslims condemn 9/11 as well. Really? Provide some links. Show us what the muslim community has done to make you so sure. Would you like it if someone from your religion did something bad and people said you were responsible because you are that religion too? If someone from my religion "did something bad" and drew from my religion's texts the justification for it and was able to convince thousands of my coreligionists and state heads to support his cause explicitly while millions worldwide expressed sympathy for it, then yeah - I would expect to catch some flak about it. All the mooslims were able to muster was a half-hearted "yes, yes, very terrible, but you see, Palestine blah blah blah". |

| #11 If someone from my religion committed a murderous act like 9/11, and publicly gloried in it, I would be the first to denouce him and help hunt him down. When the muslim community does the same thing, I will respect them. Not until. |

| #10 Maybe you shouldnt be so prejudiced. Im sure lots of muslims condemn 9/11 as well. Would you like it if someone from your religion did something bad and people said you were responsible because you are that religion too? Think,yeah? |
| Posted by: Anonymous 2004-2-10 6:19:01 AM |
| #9 But but but.. aren't these the same guys who kept telling us Muslims would never commit such a horrible thing like 9-11? Well which is it? Did they do it, or not? Do they support it, or not? |

| #8 Actually, I agree with Lee Harris that we should drop the "war" metaphor in favor of one more fitting to al Qaeda: we are exterminating a disease. (One of my personal favorites from den Beste's essential library.) |

| #7 Hey, Any, where have you been since 9/11? Of course it's going to happen again. How convenient only the US has to change its' foreign policy. |

| #3 Anon's prescription needs refilling again. Troll. Pure Troll. Only a troll would defend Al Queda with this "whoever did it" remark. |

| #2 Anonymous: 9/11 wasn't a "tragedy". It was a blatant act of war. Wake up. Our civilization is at stake, and we have two choices: kill the islamofascist vermin who threaten it, or ignore the threat and watch it die. You've seemingly made your choice, and I have nothing but contempt for your foolishness. Attitudes like yours would doom us. Thankfully leaders like Bush and Blair understand what we face, and have the stomach to confront it. |
| Posted by: Kirk 2004-2-10 1:14:23 AM |
| #1 9/11 was a tragedy and Al-Queda has no right to take the piss out of its many innocent civillian victims. Whoever did it did a dreadful thing to innocent civillians. Maybe GW should rethink his foreign policy as the way he is acting contributed to it and if he doesnt stop will happen again.Human life should be taken by God alone. |
