Jews, Americans Top Targets in 'Qaeda' Document

DUBAI (Reuters) - A strategy paper posted on a Web site sympathetic to al Qaeda lists Jews, Americans and Britons as main targets, and calls on militant cells worldwide to "turn the infidels' lands into hell."
The document, describing targets militants should hit, portrays itself as "diplomacy written in blood, decorated with body parts and perfumed with gunpowder."
It was in the latest issue of a guerrilla warfare manual posted on Web sites that covers subjects ranging from ideology to weapons handling.
The document, entitled al-Battar (Sword) Camp, could not be independently authenticated but its tone and content resembled earlier such manuals on Islamic militant sites.
"The lands of the infidels should be turned into hell because they have turned the Muslims' countries into hell... Therefore cells active globally should not set themselves any geographical limits," it said.
It said U.S. and Israeli Jews, followed by French and British Jews were top human targets. Chief targets among Christians were Americans and Britons, followed by Spaniards, Australians, Canadians and Italians.
Professions singled out included businessmen, diplomats, scholars, scientists and military leaders as well as tourists.
It said Jewish and Christian investments in Islamic states, multinational corporations and international economic experts were top economic targets.
Entitled "Targets Inside Cities," the strategy paper was signed by Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, whom Western intelligence agencies consider the leading al Qaeda propagandist and financier in Saudi Arabia.
Islamic militants often denounce the U.S.-led "war on terror" as a campaign aimed against Islam.
FUEL FOR THE JIHAD
Muqrin, one of Saudi Arabia's most wanted militants, was reported last month to have taken over leadership of al Qaeda in the kingdom after the killing of the former top operative Khaled Ali Ali Haj in a police shootout.
"The whole European economy suffered from the blessed Madrid strikes, which doubled as a blow against the governments of the crusaders, the Jews and the godless," the document said.
"Strikes on oil wells and pipelines in Iraq (news - web sites) may lead to the withdrawal of foreign companies or at least destroy the security and stability needed by them to plunder the wealth of Muslims," the document said.
It said religious sites should not be targeted, except those of Christian missionaries in Muslim countries and those spying under the guise of religion and top religious figures acting against Islam.
A commentary in the document said Israel's assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin 10 days ago had become "fuel for the Jihad movement, feeding and nourishing it and inciting youth to this path."

Bottom line, they hate Jews and Christians - wherever they are. No surprise there.

Wow, a newsflash from Al-Qaeda. They hate us and want to kill us.
I'm not afraid, because war-hero John Kerry has a plan to protect us, by spending more money of firefighters and paramedics. And he's gonna get the French to like us again. Wooooohooooooo.

It said U.S. and Israeli Jews, followed by French and British Jews were top human targets. This American Jewish target won't be a passive one. I have long subscribed to the "Never Again!" philosophy, with one small addition: "Never again, but if again, not for free."

THEY HAVEN'T SEEN HELL YET. WE HAVE BIGGER, NASTIER WEAPONS.

You got it! What amazes me is how many American Jews will vote for John Kerry! I guess they have a secret death wish! Beats me! I guess hate and envy block out the "reality" of the world in the Jewish mind. Thank God, the Israeli's don't live in a world of La-La Land. I want to see the look on Barbra Steisand's face when she gets her throat slit by "loving" Muslim terrorists, just as poor innocent Daniel Pearl did! American Jews, get real!

I take note that the muslims who normally worship at the mosque at the end of my street seemed conspicuously absent from their friday services today... looks like they're lying low again.
It said religious sites should not be targeted, except those of Christian missionaries in Muslim countries
OK, just to level the playing field here, I live in a predominantly Christian country, and I have a mosque at the end of my street. I won't if you won't.

But but but ... John Kerry told me the threat from terrorism is being overblown by the Bush administration.
I'm truly shocked that Mr F'in Kerry would attmept to deceive me just to get into office.
Shocked.

Haven't you been listening to the news? George W. Bush caused all this hatred and therefore if he is gone they can love us again! We can get the U.N. to help in Iraq since they are so respected and competant and can provide all kinds of cover for dems that have a hard time making decisions that are in America's interest!
Once we release prisoners that have not had their legal rights respected and get rid of the Patriot Act we can feel safe again. We can hold a national 'night of talk' all over America in order to understand how we caused the hatred and what we can do to be more understanding of terrorists needs. We have got to change directions people. Wake up to the fact Haliburton is running the country! Bush knew ahead of time about 9/11 and because Condi didn't know who Al Queda was they did nothing.
Thank goodness for George Soros and the communists on MoveOn.org that will bring us into a new age of enlightenment. Everyone will have jobs and health care and child care. And best of all, Bill Clinton might be Sec. of State and he will bring peace to the Middle East. :)

Are you serious? How unusual is this? Have you seen other Fridays this quiet? Well, after 9/11, I don't think I saw any services there until maybe during Ramadan of 2002. Then, slowly but surely, they started coming back, at least every Friday around noon. For at least the past year, they've been coming to Friday services pretty faithfully, but last Friday, there was nobody except one guy sitting in a car in the parking lot (whom I suspect may be some sort of security watch).
Any time there's any sort of significant incident, they seem to opt for security over religion and stay home.
