ABC news... ^ | June 15 2006 | RWAN FIRDAUS

Posted on 06/15/2006 7:52:40 AM PDT by Alama

A reputed leader of the al-Qaida-linked terror group blamed for deadly bombings across Indonesia on Thursday accused President Bush and Australian Prime Minister John Howard of waging wars against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir also called on Bush and Howard to convert to Islam, saying it was "the only way to save their souls," adding that families still grieving after the 2002 Bali blasts that killed many foreigners should also become Muslim to find "salvation and peace." ...

Someone orchestrating the muders of thousands of innocent people (at this point, mostly other muslims) giving advice on how to save souls? I think I'll pass.

People don't understand how serious this is.

There are religious injunctions in Islam to invite your opponent to convert to Islam before attacking. So historically this has often happened just before an attack.

It's a signal that more attacks are coming, hope Australia is prepared. Apparently Indonestia supports their terrorists and lets them free after only a few years...

The Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, did also.

Excerpted text of letter:


The holy Koran stresses this common word and calls on an followers of divine religions and says: [3.64] Say: O followers of the Book! Come to an equitable proposition between us and you that we shall not serve any but Allah and (that) we shall not associate aught. With Him and (that) some of us shall not take others for lords besides Allah, but if they turn back, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims. (The Family of Imran).

Mr President, According to divine verses, we have all been called upon to worship one God and follow the teachings of divine prophets.

We increasingly see that people around the world are flocking towards a main focal point - that is the Almighty God. Undoubtedly through faith in God and the teachings of the prophets, the people will conquer their problems. My question for you is: "Do you not want to join them?"

The non-Muslim world needs to take notice of these lunatic bastards...

The most humane action that could be taken to save our children and their grandchildren from these raving murderous bastards, is to set out on a course to cleanly and quietly assassinate the "Clerics" such as this clown ---- and many, many others.

Semper Fi

Emphasis from the link in 44:

"Islamic theology documents that no attack can be carried out in jihad without first offering the “unbelievers” the opportunity to “repent” and accept Islam. Only when that overture is rejected can an attack occur."

Who did the bastards offer "Islam" to at the World Trade Center?

Who did the bastards offer "Islam" to at the Kobar Towers?
Who did the bastards offer "Islam" to at the Marine Barracks in Lebanon?
Who did the bastards offer "Islam" to on the USS Cole?

The murderous bastards can always find a line in the Koran to use when they have only their freaking goat humping mouth to fight with...

The time is NOW to close with the bastards..
They started their "holy war" and we should accomodate the lunatics..with a real war..

Semper Fi

Bashair has obviously forgotten that his role model said allah would only take into paradise 1 out of every 1000 people. The odds of going to paradise are therefore lousy for Muslims. Why convert indeed! Oh yes, and the majority of people in hell are women according to the role model.

The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.
And- ( 1/1000??) it sounds like most of those are useless to Satan too!
It WILL come down to them or us- no matter how our government tries to play with semantics, or people insist on looking for the one vegetarian cannibal, at the core of every Muslim is the belief that they must conquer or kill.
All the Kumbaya singing in the world can't change that.
You can't take Islam out of the Muslim.

Those are actually very good questions. I remember a bit of chatter about the FBI having intercepted communications BEFORE 9/11. I remember those communications not being translated in a timely fashion.

I DON'T remember follow ups though.

I also haven't seen too much come into the public about what Lynn Stewart passed from the Sheik to others.

I would like to know.

Info on that one did start to come out with Able Danger.

Seems there was forewarning....then Able Danger got REAL quiet.

"Able Danger" sure dropped off the edge of the Earth, didn't it...

Too damned hot for the Democrats to handle?
