Is This You Too?
A "Love Note" Sent To Jim Robinson
I do so enjoy these money raising pleas. Too bad you kicked off so many patriots back in the day that criticizing the big spending Bush was a cardinal sin on the so called conservative free republic.
Nope, I will happily continue to freeload information from this site. If the lights go dark, well, so be it...

Paradoxically, Sheikh `Abd ar-Rahman also sees America as lacking in character and will, and therefore as weak. Thus, he assured his acolytes that five or six small operations against the American military, such as the bombing of the Marine barracks in 1983, would drive the United States from the Middle East.[12][Speech in Denmark, 1990. See also USDC-SDNY, United States v Abdel Rahman et al., Govt Ex. 550T, pp. 14, 26. ]
The few and ill-equipped fundamentalists have no hope of overwhelming the American forces; rather, `Abd ar-Rahman believes they will defeat the Americans through superior will. He urges a battle of attrition. By fomenting enough fear over time, fundamentalist Muslims ensure that Americans will find a policy of appeasement irresistibly more seductive than one of constant vigilance. `Abd ar-Rahman expects that a combination of Muslim conviction and Western weakness will bring Islam its ultimate triumph. He counsels patience; operatives should lie in wait for opportune moments.------ "Prosecuting the New York Sheikh," Andrew C. McCarthy, March 1, 1997, This article was first published by Middle East Quarterly in March 1997

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
“. . .El Gama’a El Islamiyya) is an Egyptian Islamist movement, and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union[1] and Egyptian governments. The group is (or was) dedicated to the overthrow of the Egyptian government and replacing it with an Islamic state.
“The now imprisoned cleric Omar Abdel-Rahman was a spiritual leader of the movement. The group is reported to be responsible for the killing of hundreds of Egyptian policemen and soldiers, civilians, and dozens of tourists in a violent campaign in the 1990s. While the assassination of the Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1981 is generally thought to have been carried out by another Islamist group, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, some have suggested al-Gamaa was responsible for or at least related to the assassination. In 2003 the imprisoned leadership of the group renounced bloodshed, and a series of high-ranking members have since been released by Egyptian authorities, and the group has been allowed to resume semi-legal peaceful activities.”
