Lashkar-e-Taiba, the primary suspect in the bomb blasts in New Delhi, has close links with the global terrorist outfit al-Qaeda, as well as the Palestinian terrorist outfit Hamas, according to highly-placed sources in India's Intelligence Bureau (IB). LeT set up its base in Jammu and Kashmir in the early 1990s and has succeeded in establishing its modules in all Indian states which have a substantial population of Muslims. These modules comprise well-educated and computer literate Sunni Muslim men, as per IB sources. Only Sunnis are recruited because the group propagates Sunni Wahabism, the pan-Islamic doctrine.

09:23 PM CST on Sunday, February 6, 2005 The 9/11 Commission report said America isn't fighting a war on "some generic evil" called terrorism, but a war on Islamist terrorism. What are we to make, then, of the startling fact that some of our Saudi allies are seeding U.S. mosques with enemy propaganda? The nonpartisan Freedom House recently released a report on the spread of Saudi-sponsored hate literature. In 2003, investigators visited leading American mosques and collected written material available to congregants. The documents, originating either with the Saudi government or Saudi-funded sources, advocate Wahhabism, the extremist form of Islam...

You put your life at risk to give us a view of Iraq from within. You deserve the utmost respect and gratitude from everyone who cherishes freedom. For Iraq is, at this very moment, the battlefield between freedom and totalitarianism – and that battle will decide which one will prevail in the 21st century.

I was just watching CBN news and they were saying that one of the largest mosques in North America is under construction in Boston (anyone in Boston aware of this?). The mosque has Wahabi connection and is associated with the Islamic Society of Boston (with Wahabi and terrorist connections). The city of Boston sold the land for 25-50% of its actual value, all without comments from the mayor's office and Boston Globe. What's going on here? We are over in the Middle East bombing Arabs. Something like 70% or more Arabs hate the USA and we're importing radical Islamists right...

INTERVIEW Political Science professor at the Belgrade university, Dr. Miroljub Jevtic, says that the extremist Islamic indoctrination in Kosovo is the source of Albanian separatism and that the indoctrination has reached such levels that the Albanian Extremism Is Beyond Control in Kosovo17 years ago you wrote a scenario in which Islam causes wars in the Balkans and uses the acquired lands to make bases out of which to attack the West. What were the causing factors for such a conclusion? The conclusions were the outgrowth of my observations of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979. The names involved in...

City Journal Our Islamic Fifth Column Farrukh Dhondy Autumn 2001 My first name gives rise to confusion. It’s a common Muslim name, so people I meet, or who read my byline, assume that I am of the faith. Most recently, in response to a column I write for an Indian paper, in which I confessed to having met a few terrorists in my time and attempted to analyze their limited grasp of the world, I received a lot of hate mail. Some of the e-mailers clearly thought I was a Muslim apostate and reminded me that the penalty for that...

The Arab World And The Cult Of Death By Robbie Friedmann, PhD PipeLineNews.org - The Arab obsession with death (as evident in Palestinian and Lebanese terror attacks "inspired" by Iran, Syria, Egypt, and others) is deeply embedded in their societies as they indoctrinate their children to aspire for "holy" death which will bring them to heaven "Ask for Death! The Indoctrination of Palestinian Children to Seek Death for Allah", Shahada, Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch. Their clerics even pray that their leader - Arafat - will die as a "martyr""PA Imam Prays for Arafat's Death as Shahid", Itamar Marcus,...

The Saudi royal family has been on the forefront of espousing an extreme position of hatred toward Jews, influencing the kingdom's educational system, media, and mosques, as well as its foreign and domestic policy. In its first attempt to attract tourists to the country, Saudi Arabia's tourist commission, under the control of Prince Sultan bin Abd Al-Aziz launched an official website in March 2004. The website listed those not allowed into the kingdom: "Israeli passport holders or those whose passport has an Israeli arrival/departure stamp; those who do not abide by the Saudi traditions concerning appearance and behavior; those under...

Saudis: No Jews Welcome Congressman Criticizes U.S. Policy Feb 26, 2004 8:52 pm US/Eastern Rep. Anthony Weiner, a frequent critic of United States policy toward Saudi Arabia, said Thursday that the Middle East country's new visa policy outlined on a tourist Web site should be quickly condemned by American officials. The Web site, promoting a new Saudi program to offer tourist visas to encourage more foreign visitors, lists four groups not entitled to tourist visas, including "Jewish People." The Saudi government has traditionally only issued travel visas for employment, Hajj pilgrimages, and other visits with official sanction. In addition to...

Interfaith Outreach & "Excessive Placidity" Towards Islam By Beila Rabinowitz & William A. Mayer Berkeley California has always been a city of contrasts. The staid appearing, ivy covered halls of the University of California campus, are known for the brilliant – albeit, communist – physicists who built the first nuclear weapons. UC Berkeley is also renowned for demonstrations - national guardsmen in the streets - tear gas & free speech – as long as it’s of the leftist variety. This month, on opposite ends of the campus a thoughtful speech by Dr. Daniel Pipes is juxtaposed against a, later...

EVEN if we were not attempting to prosecute a war against terror, the time would have long since arrived to reconsider our relations with Saudi Arabia. That the Saudis, of all people, should now be regarded as a virtual ally in this conflict only underscores the need at last to settle matters between us. Although the catalog of disagreements on our agenda is long, and many of the items are by now familiar, it is helpful to review the list. BY ANY modern standard of civilization, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a bizarre place. In an age of spreading...

Florida Islamic Conference Outed As Jihad-Fest By Beila Rabinowitz & William A. Mayer (Washington) PipeLineNews - Although possibly viewed as heretical – in some quarters - it is really hard to ignore the fact that one of Mohammed’s prime intentions, when creating Islam was to unite the warring Arab tribes and factions into one nation. This statement is not meant to demean the softer, more lofty side of the religion - especially considering that much of it is derived from the Bible – but it is really necessary to grasp this key fact - of Islam’s practicality and historic...

The democratic model in the West is based on a principal pillar - freedom. It isn't simply political freedom but also freedom of speech, action and ideology. The only condition is that one person's freedoms shouldn't transgress on another's. In that model it is imperative that everyone enjoys those freedoms, that no groups are excluded from that society and that anything that could possibly create divisions between the citizens of a country should be avoided. The leaders of some Western democracies frequently urge others to adopt these ideas on the basis that they are the best that have ever emerged...

WASHINGTON : The US should focus on reforming radical madrasas, like those in Pakistan, that are a hotbed of Islamic militants, an Indian counter-terrorism expert said at a congressional hearing. B Raman, former head of counter-terrorism at the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India 's external intelligence agency, said this while testifying before a joint hearing of the subcommittees on Asia and the Pacific and International Terrorism, Non-proliferation and Human Rights. The committees were chaired by Representative Jim Leach and Representative Elton Gallegly, both Republican. Stressing the need to counter madrasa-style education, Raman said young students studying in the Islamic...

<p>AGHDAD -- When Rifa'at Jassem told his parents the path he had chosen, his mother wept and his father raged, his classmates jeered, family friends grew distant. At 14, he set aside his love for soccer and began learning the skills of an underground resistance network.</p>

As FBI agents in the field moved in on a dozen suspected terrorists running recruitment operations in Northern Virginia, a senior FBI official appeared June 26 before a Senate Homeland Security panel and avoided testifying about what senators had called him to discuss. The issues were sponsorship of pro-terrorist ideology, extremist political action and terrorist recruitment financed from Saudi Arabia, supposedly a U.S. ally. Well into the war on terrorism, the FBI is a house divided. On one side, agents are wrapping up terrorist-support networks coast to coast that include radicalized American Muslims bent on unleashing a murderous jihad against...

BALAD, Iraq (AP) -- American forces have launched a fourth major offensive against insurgents in central Iraq to blunt expected attacks against U.S. soldiers during upcoming holidays marking historical events of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, military officials said. U.S. military officials have received intelligence reports -- including letters addressed to community leaders urging attacks against Americans -- indicating that pro-Saddam and Islamist insurgents plan anti-U.S. actions. The strikes would be timed to the July 14, 1958 anniversary of the overthrow of the Iraqi monarchy and the July 17, 1968 coup by Saddam's Baathist Party. The Army's 4th Infantry Division...

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Gold charges that reports of Saudi connections to the new wave of global terrorism are ubiquitous, citing Wahhabism, which he describes as "the austere creed practiced in Saudi Arabia...

What's the U.S. military doing about radical Muslim soldiers? Not enough. The most disturbing story of the war so far is the fragging at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait. According to news reports, on March 23, Sgt. Asan Akbar rolled a grenade into each of three tents of sleeping officers and senior NCOs of the 101st Airborne Division. Then he allegedly shot the soldiers with an automatic weapon as they fled from their tents. Two of them, a major and a captain, died, and 14 others were injured. The episode is unsettling for a number of reasons, most of all because...

The enlisted man who allegedly opened fire after rolling grenades into an officers' tent on Sunday morning, killing a Lehigh Valley native, will be tried before a regular military court and likely will face the death penalty, according to legal experts. The Army has launched a formal investigation into the murder of Army Capt. Christopher Seifert, a Army captain in the 101st Airborne Division. A grenade attack followed by a round of fire took the life of the 27-year-old officer and wounded 15 other soldiers at 1:22 a.m. Sunday at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait. Pentagon spokesmen and Army officials would not...
