| Iraqi Sunnis threaten to start "great jihad" | ||
| 2004-10-04 | ||
The Islamic Theologians League of Iraq has threatened to declare "great jihad" in response to massive killings "perpetrated by the occupation troops in the cities of Falluja and Samarra." Muhammad Bashar al-Faydi, official representative of the League, said so at a press conference in Baghdad, the mass media reported on Monday. He described as massacre the combat operations, staged by the U.S. Air Force in those cities. He cited examples of unprovoked murder of children and old people. "Our impression today is that our creed and the very existence of the Iraqi nation are in jeopardy. The only thing left to us is to declare 'great jihad'," al-Faydi said.

| #21 "Before I started reading Rantburg I was blissfully unaware that self-parody was an Arab art form" If that is so, it must be well developed on a subconscious level only. Them Arabs are seriously serious. |

| #20 Of course, all this is published by Tass which ranks somewhere between the National Enquirer and Debka for accuracy. Before I started reading Rantburg I was blissfully unaware that self-parody was an Arab art form. |

| #19 Great Jihadâ¢: meet Great JDAM. I sure wish that I knew Arabic and all its nuances. It would be a hoot to read their stuff before translation to get the full flavor (blech!) of their rants. Then I could write better fatwas, if I was so inclined. |

| #18 They're threatening jihad? What the hell do they call what they're doing now? Afternoon tea? Morons. |

| #17 Iraqi Sunnis threaten to start âgreat jihadâ What is needed is assembly line efficiency. Line 'em all up from Fallujah to Samarrah, and we'll drop them as they march in. Deal? |

| #13 Headline: Iraqi Sunnis threaten to start âgreat jihadâ You mean what they're currently doing isn't already a great jihad? It seems to me that if they have to start threatening to do it, they've pretty much done all they can. |

| #12 "The only thing left to us is to declare âgreat jihadâ" So, that would be a great spiritual enlightenment through peaceful inner struggle? |

| #9 Anyone up for the Great Crusade and Payback? Just read that jihad is great for the economy, then why shouldn't a Crusade be even more lucrative? All that untapped wealth and all those untapped virgin daughters just going to waste in the middle east. Though Americans are first in line for payback, there are more deserving folks in need of your wealth. There are millions of unemployed Sudanese, Congolese, Nigerians, and other Africans who have undergone genocide by the hands of muslims for hundreds of years. And they also deserve a little vengeance and booty. Hell, Sierra Leone alone has a huge untapped potential for chopping off hands, heads, etc. All the booty and muslim women they can carry away. Are you up for the game mullahs? |
