Al Qaeda Announces Cease Fire in Europe

The Abu Hafs Al Masri Brigade, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda and has claimed responsibility for the March 11 terrorist attacks in Madrid, has reportedly announced a cease fire against the new government in Spain.

In a message sent to an Arabic newspaper, Al Hayat, it is stated that in addition to the ceasefire in Spain, the network is also halting operations in the rest of Europe. The statement issued by the Brigade reads as, "Our leadership has come to a decision to halt all operations in Spain upon learning of the good intentions of the new government with their promise to withdraw the troops from Iraq."

So appeasement works?

Rain down hell on them.

[jwalburg]

This can't be. I thought I just read they were going to go after France for the headscarf ban! Surely they won't let France get away with that!

[Spruce]

I don't care what these clowns say. The only way to make them truly stop is to stomp there miserable heads in like rotten pumpkins. Every last one of them.

[doug from upland]

This is one of many groups. Italy is very worried. France is very worried. Others are very worried.

[federal]

This is of course BS, besides they will demand the release of their killers from Spain.

Who knows Spain may let them go.

[Spok]

This is from the playbook of Ho Chi Minh. AQ has realized it has friends on the left in the U.S. who will help it defeat us.

[Libloather]

...they'll have a ceasefire with America if Ralph Nader is elected.

GO RALPH, GO!

Ask Israel how long a cease fire with Islamist terrorists is good for.

[KriegerGeist]

So, if we elect John Fn. Kerry, all convert to Islam and abandon Israel or even nuke them, then will Al Qaeda cease fire on us? Would that make Hollywood happy...converting to Islam that is? Hmmmmmmm! Sean Muhammad al Penn, John bin Mustaffa Voight, Mike al bin sheik Ferrell, Tim al bin Muhammad Robbins? Peter al axsah Jennings, Dan bin in Jihadi al sheiking Rather and Tom al Osama bin to To Mecca Brokaw.

Am I getting the hang of it? Get it? Hang!

Al Qaeda Announces Cease Fire in Europe

See what happens when they roll over and spread their legs, Spanish style? I just hope al Qaeda left some money on the dresser.

[Free-PhoeniX]

Can't believe it!!!
France, Italy and of course Great Britain have been menaced. The more grotesque has been against France wich hasn't been part of Iraqi freedom. The threaten is because France has forbidden the "tchador"( the traditional scarf) in schools...Spain government has made an enormous mistake in withdrawing their troops from Iraq. That means that terrorists and integrists are over the spanish government.What will be the next exigence from these fools of Al quaida? The obligation for our children to have islamic teachers??? It must never have discussion with terrorists, only seek and destroy like US have done in Afghanistan.
A shamed European

[TravisBickle]

I missed the part where they said they were sorry for killing the 200 people and that they will never, ever ask for anything else, ever again.

[dennisw]

Nuking Mecca and Medina will be a Ritalin chill pill for all Islamics. No more loud mouth rants and no more Jihads.

Europe has seen better days. Such as those described in this anecdote, which happens to involve an enemy similarly motivated:

"The Great Siege of Malta in 1565 highlighted the bravery of a group of 9,000 Knights who defended Malta from 40,000 Turkish troops, who had been sent by the sultan of Turkey, Suleiman the Magnificent, to “annihilate the sons of dogs.” The fighting was treacherous, with the Knights pouring cauldrons of pitch and hoops of fire onto the Turks. The Turkish retaliated by butchering the surviving Knights, nailing them to a cross and sending them floating into the Grand Harbour. In response, Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valletta used the severed heads of Turkish prisoners as cannon fodder. After four months of ferocious fighting, Malta overcame the Turks’ superior force and they sailed back to Constantinople under the cover of darkness to hide their shame."
