The NYT should be so proud. I'm sure they've dramatically increased their pathetic readership in Al Queda and terrorist circles.

I don't think so, Marwan. Your retrograde religion - and particularly the radical islamofascist segments of it - are not interested in politics, administration, economics or any of the other disciplines involved in actually running a society/nation once jihad (in your dreams) brings you to power. The greatest weakness in Al Qaeda, et. al. is this foolish sense that jihad is everything. On behalf of the United States of America - let me just say - we will bury you.

Abu Omar, speaking on the condition that only his nickname be used,

Fortunately for him his nickname means 'goat lover', a common nickname amongst the jihadis.

Just like the jihadis reached their target on Sept. 11, we will reach ours through the Internet.”

It's not just the media they rely on, they are getting their talking points directly from their pals at the DNC. The entire terrorist network, the media, and the rats are invested in America's defeat.

The rats must never be allowed to govern again!

The jihadis are reliant on the Democrats to confuse and demoralize their infidel enemy. Hell, even their talking points are exactly the same.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

As Al Qaeda gradually transforms itself from a terrorist organization carrying out its own attacks into an ideological umbrella that encourages local movements to take action.

This is a misconception. Al-Qa'ida is a political movement masquerading as a religious one, and has always been an ideological umbrella organization. The only real difference is that rather than absorbing and facilitating between cells and movements that already exist, AQ philosophy is inspiring new ones to rise and act in their name.

These new groups have access to all that AQ is. Internet information. Training camps. Facilitators. For any that would seek out AQ's brand of jihad, jihadist expertise and support will be provided to them.

The reason that this is so is because AQ, while philosophically repugnant to many Muslims, is politically gorgeous. The idea of a bold Islamic resistance movement artfully battling the infidel West is a romantic notion that finds many willing believers. This has always required media manipulation, which AQ excells at.

To say that they're increasingly media savvy is to be ignorant of their core strengths, and strategic goals. Namely, to present themselves as the only legitimate Arab resistance movement, one that will stand and fight when the Arab tyrants cower. They've been singing that song for years; odd that the NYT is just now hearing it.

The office in this pic looks just like a typical NY Slimes or al-Reuters reporter's office, complete with swords.

The New York Times is also useful to terrorists. And in the Times' case, it is wholly intentional. The editors and publisher of the New York Times are also members of the Democrat hate-Bush crowd, and will do anything they can to assure failure on the part of the Bush Administration.

"Abu Omar, 28, is part of an increasingly sophisticated network of contributors and discussion leaders helping to wage Al Qaeda’s battle for Muslim hearts and minds."

Has the NYT hired him yet?

Al Qaeda Increasingly Reliant on Media

Based on No. 2's recent speeches, I'd say that's obvious!

"Abu Omar is part of a growing army of young men who may not seek to take violent action, but who help spread jihadist philosophy, shape its message and hope to inspire others to their cause."

Sounds like a war asset to me. Isn't that why we bombed factories, including their workers, in WW2?
