| Pamphlet drop calls for 'holy war' |
| 2006-08-25 |
| A RADICAL group with alleged links to the London bombings is reportedly distributing pamphlets through suburban Sydney calling for a holy war. The leaflets, from the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahir, call for a jihad to destroy Israel and use key dates in the Muslim calendar to signal the coming destruction of the Jewish state, The Daily Telegraph reported today. The group is banned in Germany and British Prime Minister Tony Blair has called for Hizb ut-Tahir, which has alleged links to last year's London terrorist attacks, to be outlawed there. It remains legal in Australia despite calls for it to be banned. A spokesman for Attorney-General Philip Ruddock's office said security agencies were "very aware" of the pamphlets. "In order for a group to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation it must be directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering a terrorist act," he was quoted as saying. Hizb ut-Tahir spokesman Mohammed Abdalwahab said the group called for the non-violent overthrow of governments and the rise of Islamic governments and Sharia law. |

| #9 Thank you for posting that list, mcsegeek1. Now, on we go to the bottom line. How do they terrorize thee? Let me count the ways: (in reverse order) Hindu — 3 Jewish — 5 Christian — 7 Sihk — 10 And the dark horse surprise winner is ... Wait for it! Muslim — 34 Leading the pack by more than 33% of all the rest put together. One notable stand out: Shiv Sena: A violent Hindu political group, Shiv Sena or "The Army of Shiva". Activities involve attacking shops selling valentine's day cards. Here in America we call such people, "ones with dangerous amounts of spare time." |

| #3 Victory gardens anyone? Screw victory gardens. I want victory graveyards. Full of dead jihadis. And for f&ck's sake, outlaw Hizb ut-Tahir in Australia. If only so I don't have to learn how to spell the moronic name of yet another psycho Islamist group. |
