| Qaeda warns European nations to quit Iraq by August 15 or risk attacks |

| I like that : the Lions of islam threatens the infidels with a few bombs and think they are top dogs. What infuriates me is that if the West would set himself in WWII mode, it would crush all of muslimland in no time. Their only strength in that famous "4th generation warfare" is our own weakness; real threats to the West's survival, barring WMD terror, are cultural (dhimmitude), political and economical (corruption and subversion through oil), and demographical (immigration and population shift)... and all this is rooted in the West's own identity crisis. This new jihad is not a predator, it is a carrion. DUBAI (AFP) - The Al-Qaeda terror network warned European nations to pull their troops out of Iraq within a month or face more attacks like the London bombings, according to an Internet statement. "This message is the final warning to European states. We want to give you a one-month deadline to bring your soldiers out from the land of Mesopotamia (Iraq)," said the statement signed by Al-Qaeda group the Brigades Abu Hafs al-Masri and dated July 16. After August 15, "there will be no more messages, just actions that will be engraved on the heart of Europe. "It will be a bloody war in the service of God," said the statement, the authenticity of which could not be verified. "It's a message we are addressing to the crusaders who are still present in Iraq -- Denmark, the Netherlands, Britain, Italy and those other countries whose troops continue to criss-cross Iraqi territory. "These are our last words. The mujahedeen, who are on the lookout, will have other words to say in your capitals." A statement issued in the name of the "Europe Division" of the same Al-Qaeda group claimed responsibility for the July 7 bombings on London's public transport system which killed at least 56 people and wounded some 700. The same group also claimed the 2004 train bombings in Madrid and the 2003 attacks in Istanbul. |

| #18 Dutchgeek is right. Immigration of moslems and other groups percieved to be a problem is the issue the governments and electorates are most out of step. Opinion polls and other measures show electorates are pverwhelmingly hostile to immigration. The mystery is why this not been reflected in election results or maybe it has and the MSM is just in denial about it. |

| #17 @Sock Puppet 0’ Doom...Most Europeans are not clueless as most of us in the urban areas are confronted by islam everyday. It's our governments that don't deal with the issue. |

| #16 It would be so European to pull troops out. The average European is clueless as to the realities. All they are fed is the poop from their state funded TV news and a leftist press thats mired in the 1960s' radical mind set. The message is it is all the fault of the USA and if we don't bother the islamists they will leave us alone and go away. A huge lie. We need a underground international anti-islamist movement to surpass every attack on our civilization. The threat to take out the centers of funding and religious sites should be real. As long as the defense of our civilizations is left only up to national governments and organizations we will never root out this evil. The politicians are dancing around the problem and not in actuality dealing with it. AQ should be run to ground and wiped out by now. All these worries about offending some muslims should be no concern. Every last one of them seems to be a passive supporter. So screw them and their cult. |

| #12 Screw the "holy places", they're just tourist traps. Fine-screen money filters for the rubes. Hit the capitals, where the supposed leaders are. Riyadh, Damascus, Tehran, Cairo... |

| #8 These countries should ask what Holy place do they want to lose first. And make a statement that any attacks attributed to them from this point on makes any holy site a target. All we would be doing is playing by thier rules. |

| #7 My gut feeling tells me that these threats are going to work, though. Look for reiterations of troop pull-outs and confirmation of exit dates from the various countries. |
