| Al Qaida threatens invasion of Spain |
| 2010-01-03 |
| The Al Qaida terrorist organization has threatened to open yet another front in its war with the West, according to a January 1 video message disseminated by the terrorists' second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri. Speaking to terrorists living in North Africa, also known as the Magreb, Al Zawahiri said that the reconquest of Spain – which was once largely occupied by Muslims – will not be accomplished without “disinfecting' the Magreb of infidels. These would include, reportedly, both Frenchmen and Spaniards. The video showed graphically the intentions of Al Qaida, led by Osama bin Laden, to take the war to the European Continent as it showed a Muslim wave sweeping over the Iberian Peninsula, which it identified as “Al Andalus.' Images of a church in Cordoba, which once served as a mosque, were shown on the video as a goal of the projected Muslim reconquest. Muslim groups in Spain have insisted that the church be reverted to its use as a mosque. Security in Ceuta and Melilla – two Spanish cities on the shores of North Africa – remains tense. Incidents on their borders are almost a daily occurrence. Al Qaida terrorists are currently holding three Spanish aid workers and are demanding concessions from the Spanish government. The aid workers were captured by terrorists in late November 2009 during a mission in Mauritania. In the 1700s and early 1800s, such abductions and enslavement of Europeans and Americans by Muslim marauders led to military conflict. For example, the hymn of the U.S. Marines enshrines the struggle with the Barbary Pirates that ensued when the price of ransom for captive Americans demanded by the Muslims far exceeded the amount allotted by the U.S. Congress. In that case, a small Swedish fleet, along with Greek and Italian mercenaries, joined the U.S. Navy and Marines to exact a toll on “the shores of Tripoli' as remembered in the Marine Hymn. |

| #11 IMO Radical Islam's primary focii remains the destabilization, breakup, + isolation from the US_NATO/West of large parts of Central-East-South Asia, aka Russia + China +India, becuz these States are already NUCLEAR + broadly anti-US-NATO. AFRICA = means Manpower + Battlefront for FUTURE JIHAD and is also where US-NATO is relatively weak. * SPAIN, etc. EURO-STATES = AFRICA > DIVERSIONARY OR ALTERNATE BATTLEFRONT at this time, to save for future JIHAD espec 2013 or ahortly thereafter as NUCTECHS proliferate to the Militant Groups vee NUCLEAR MILITANCY-TERRORISM [includ BIOWAR, CHEMWAR TECHS]. Lest we fergit, GOVT + ACADEMIA + MSM-NET PERTS > in most part, US ECON TROUBLES IS FORECASTED TO CONTINUE FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD TO COME. HISTORY SHOWS THAT ECON WEAK-AND GETTING WEAKER NATION-STTAES WILL EVENT BE CHALLENGED BY LESS POWERFUL STATES FOR GEOPOL INFLUENCE INCLUD CONTROL OF SOVEREIGN TERRITORY. NUTSHELL > US = US-WEST + WESTERN DEMOCRACY GETS STEADILY WEAKER GEOPOL AS RADICAL ISLAM GETS GEOPOL STRONGER. * E.g. CHINA > TOPIX/WORLD NEWS [old] > ISLAMIC TERRORISM IS OCCURRING IN CHINA, TOO + THE ISLAMIST THREAT TO ASIA. * FREEREPUBLIC > IRAN TO SURGE TO HEGEMONIC POSITION IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITHOUT A MAJOR WAR. Read, COLD WAR II > NUKULAAR MUSLIM ASIA + EURASIA? IS THE NEW ANTI-US "SOVIET/COMMIE BLOC"??? |

| #8 "the reconquest of Spain -- which was once largely occupied by Muslims" Really. And before that all North Africa was Christian. So if you want to talk about prior rights (Augustine comes to mind), fine. |

| #5 Didn't the Spaniards 'roll over' when the Madrid Train Station was bombed? Didn't they 'play nice' , vote in an 'anti-war' government and remove their troops from Iraq after that? Didn't they already do everything Al-Qaida wanted them too? Wasn't that enough? Oh wait, these are mooselimbs. |

| #4 Petals the Europeans might consider recolonizing North Africa and creating a sort of Liberia scenerio of shipping folks back. Probably won't happen, of course, but historically when shoved the Europeans get real bloody. |

| #2 Isn't it time we just wiped these people out? We need to go door to door, street by street in Pakistan and get these people. The Pakistanis can't or won't. We should first eliminate the ISI and then go after these people ourselves. |

| #1 "Al Qaida threatens invasion of Spain" What, again? Y'all didn't get the message the first time? Methinks we need to send a new message to the "Shores of Tripoli"; maybe they'll get the hint this time. |
