New Breed of Islamic Warrior Is Emerging - Immigration as a Weapon!
Wall Street Journal ^ | March 29, 2004 | KEITH JOHNSON and DAVID CRAWFORD

Evidence in the Madrid train bombings points to the participation of a new breed of Islamic holy warrior, unfettered by many of the religious and ideological constraints that defined Islamic terrorism in the past.

These Islamist warriors -- schooled in the North African doctrine known as Takfir wal Hijra and trained by Afghan veterans of al Qaeda -- think, recruit and operate differently from traditional Islamist networks. For Europe, that makes the threat particularly acute. The Takfir movement is strongest in Morocco and Algeria, the primary sources of Muslim immigration to Western Europe. Takfiri theorists openly advocate using immigration as a Trojan horse to expand jihad, or holy war.

I'm surprised the 'more is better' immigration enthusiasts down at the WSJ allowed this article to appear in their paper.

My guess was they'd be singing the praises of unfettered immigration & lower wages right up to the time the Islamacists brought down Wall Street around their ears.

Just look what happened in Kosovo.

Hey, good enough for Kosovo, good enough for California!

The benefits you describe are normally ssociated with a per capita increase in productivity, but considering the caliber of immigrant coming in these days I would bet per capita productivity in the US is actually shrinking.

With our lax immigration policy it's only a matter of time that it will most likely be coming to a theater near you (and me) and whoever happens to be in the way...

We don't have a huge Muslim immigration to the US - yet

It only took 18 for their last attach here.

One immigration debate is about Islamic migration (EU borders), while the other debate (US borders) is just about cheap goods and trade.

Islamist/Jihadist immigration concerns the U.S., not just the EU.

I would take you up on that bet and win, the service sectos will explode in the US just as soon as the baby-boomer generation replaces "The Greatest Generation" in America's nursing homes.

I'm not sure how this necessarily follows. Are you implying we'll all soon be depending upon low wage, unskilled & uneducated day laborers & gardeners for our SSI payments?

I think you guys follow the Krekar situation.

"Moroccan and European investigators say Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian, runs a terrorist organization according to Takfir principles. U.S. officials suspect Mr. Zarqawi is behind many of the attacks on coalition troops in Iraq. Spanish investigators are reviewing evidence linking Mr. Zarqawi to the March 11 Madrid bombings; one of Mr. Zougam's contacts in Norway, Mullah Krekar, has worked closely with Mr. Zarqawi, according to Spanish court documents."




Do any of you know of Krekar ties with Zarqawi?

Mullah Krekar previously ran Ansar al-Islam, which provided safe haven for Zarqawi and his minions after they left Baghdad in May 2002. He also may have met Zarqawi during his trip to Afghanistan or during a meeting with al-Qaeda emissaries in the late 1990s back when Abu Zubaydah was the controller for Ansar al-Islam.

Or citizens can start cutting their own grass, clean their own bathrooms, and start a vegetable in their backyards.

I do all that stuff myself. I did hire a local Vietnam vet to remove to huge trees from my yard. He quoted me a favorable price and I allowed him to work the job around his other groundskeeping appointments. I now have 4 cords of wood from the first tree. He's contracted to do the second tree now. He's taking classes on his GI bill benefits and will be taking the 2nd tree down as time permits in his class schedule. The only "rush" on the job is getting the tree down before it starts sucking water and leafing out.

Are you nutz?

How many illegal aliens do you think make SSI payments? Nada


If they did they wouldn't be hired...that defeats the whole purpose of unethical employers who hire illegals and pay them under the table in cash. So they don't have to pay them competitive wages and benefits that citizens would demand!
