Saudi al-Qaeda urge Muslims to defend Fallujah
2004-11-10
The Saudi wing of Al Qaeda has called on Muslims to rise up to defend the Iraqi city of Falluja from a "crusader campaign" by U.S.-led forces. "O Muslim youth, obey God and mobilise. Honour is calling, so for how long will you remain on the sidelines?" the Al Qaeda Organisation in the Arabian Peninsula said in the latest edition of its online military magazine Muaskar al-Battar. U.S. forces backed by Iraqi troops surged into the heart of Falluja on Tuesday to regain control of the Sunni Muslim city from insurgents. "The U.S. army launched a crusader campaign against the people of Islam and Sunna in Falluja and nearby areas and the mujahideen (holy fighters) there are determined to defend Islam," the statement said, adding that the Saudi Al Qaeda wing would "do all they could" to help insurgents in Falluja. Iraqi authorities said last month they had captured 24 suspected Saudi militants and diplomats say many more may have slipped across the border to fight in Iraq.

They'll be right behind you when you show up in Falluja, O Mouthpiece.

Are Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, Damascus, Homs, Tehran, Qom, Bandar Abbas, Cairo, Aden, Khartoum, and Alexandria still standing? Are the Arab portions of the world still sand and not radioactive glass? Then STFU - we're not waging a "crusade". If we were, there would be no more "Arabs" in the world, except perhaps a few in Phrawnce as pets. AQ brought the mess in Afghanistan and Iraq upon themselves by attacking the United States. Now we're going to see that, at least in these two countries, the people who want to do something like 9/11 don't get the chance. If you don't like us kicking you in the cojones, then stop trying to bully us. It doesn't work.

Oh, but just go ahead and explode a dirty nuke in the United States, and see how fast your "crusade" meme becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Also note that we won't play with kid's gloves after that - ALL bets will be off. A society that condones and promotes killing innocents has no legal or moral justification for existing.

#3  Erm... given that the city is besieged, and all exits sealed, how do these .... gentlemen ... expect to join their religious compatriots? Do they think Allah will gently pick them up and place them inside the city?
