PESHAWAR: The head of the Islamabad-based Al-Quds Media Centre has received an audio message from a senior Taliban leader in which he asked Muslims living in the US to leave the country as soon as possible “because God’s punishment would fall on America in the month of Ramazan.”
Jamal Ismail, a senior journalist who once worked for Al-Jazeera television channel and is now head of the Al-Quds Media Centre, told The News that he received a phone call Thursday from Taliban leader Mulla Masoom Afghani. “Afghani said he was speaking from somewhere in Kandahar province. He read out the message in Arabic, which I recorded. In it he advised Muslim residents of America to get out to escape harm because the US could face big attacks in the month of Ramazan,” said Jamal Ismail.
According to Jamal Ismail, it was the first time that Afghani, who is head of the pro-Taliban clerics’ consultative council and the former ambassador of Afghanistan to Pakistan, had conveyed such a message. “Afghani didn’t say that it was a dream. It appeared that he strongly believed that America was going to face punishment at the hands of Allah,” he explained.

Most likely just an empty threat, but worth noting at least. I wonder if there'll actually be a noticeable exodus??
I certainly hope so.
"I certainly hope so."
I have some frequent flyer miles to offer 'em.
Hey, I'm waiting for yo, Mulla Masoom Afghani! Come get me!
Bump/Ping
He had a "dream".
Dream on.
Empty threat = anti-truth, anti-freedom liar.
Threat carried out = anti-life criminal.
By all means, feel free to go back to Pakistan or other 3rd world dump of their choosing.
Actually, I planted that story myself. I hope it works.
Yes...Please...All who follow Islam... Please escape now. Boat or plane...Please leave and go to the nearest Islamic country...Please...This is for your safety.
uh oh, maybe this is portent about the November elections.
What a sight that would be - lines miles long at our international departure terminals........
Lord, hear our prayer.
it sounds like propaganda to me though im sure everyone that needs to know does and is looking hard for signs of possible attacks durning this month (and all times)
the reason i think it sounds like that "US COULD face big attacks in the month of Ramazan"
in another article another "taliban leader" said this
The Taliban spokesman said Mulla Mohammad Omar was alive in Afghanistan. He said he wasn’t aware if bin Laden was alive or not. “He and al-Qaeda have a separate network. We really don’t know his whereabouts,” he maintained
Prepare for the worst? Always -- but I would not expect too much from the religion that cried wolf.
They concern me more when they are quiet - those sneaky bastards.
Not for want of trying.
The current generation of Islamists with dreams of a Caliphate, missing Imams, and of course Armageddon, may also try. Most likely they will be no more successful in their efforts, and hopefully much less so, since their ambitions are larger.
They're getting to be like the little boy who cried "wolf".
That said, I have no doubt the wolf will really arrive - someday.
