![]() Credit: The Cabal The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger. "Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix." We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research. YOU be the Judge and get informed. "I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat." Link to Thread Fifteen Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Translation and analysis
Even so, I'm gonna stay away from East Texas for a while. :)
Thanks for this. It's still a sobering translation in light of the use of the airplane drawing and reference to "a journey without a return".

I agree. BTW the guy who looked at it has many years in the ME training their police and CI types.
Sure. Blame the fat guy!

I'm so pi$$ed at the media right now that I could just scream!!
Please pass along our "thanks" for offering us this insight.
Huh?
All of the minarets I have ever seen have been pointed not square
Follow-up
Ultimately it all Comes Down to Common People Fighting the Terrorists
Yup. I re read his "christian jihadist" post.
He's missed the boat on a few issues. I'll be posting a response to them shortly.
You were right, I was wrong. Thanks for making me look at it more thoroughly.
"All of the minarets I have ever seen have been pointed not square"
Yeah - me too.
"Drawing in upper left corner is generic Islamic symbolism = curved roof of mosque and flanked by two minaret towers."
As he said ... it is a "generic Islamic symbolism".
And as this is a religious propaganda flyer it seems to me good marketing on the author of the flyers part. i.e., rule 1. Get prospects attention before delivering your message.
As aircraft and buildings in the same graphic are in the collective consciousness of the majority of the worlds muslims (and ours) - what a great attention grabber. Not to mention the play on words "journey without a return". Great marketing attention getter.
As for his take on the building - I will go with his read - because it was his business as a professional. ";^)
If it's the same man I saw on Fox, it's Kamal Nawash, and his belief is that the figure is closer to 50%, rather than the 10% that is often stated...is that what you heard?
Kamal Nawash
http://www.freemuslims.org/ is his website
I think the 50% vs 10% he refered to was the number of muslims that would welcome the downfall of America not specifically Wahhabist.
I'm glad you mentioned ABC, because it reminded me of something I just read last night, in the book Terrorist Hunter
The author was talking about a satellite phone that was purchased by an American citizen Ziyad Khalil. I'll quote directly here from the book:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What was the deal with that phone? It turned out that ABC News was seeking a personal interview with Bin Laden in 1998. They contacted Khalid al-Fawwaz, Bin Laden's aide in Britain. Al-Fawwaz referred them to a Mr. Tariq Hamdi in Washington. ABC then wrote a letter addressed to Mohammed Atef -- Bin Laden's senior military commander -- as a follow-up request for the interview. The letter referred to their previous communications through Hamdi, whom Atef, it seemed, knew well. When the interview was set up, Hamdi traveled with the ABC News crew to Afghanistan. On May 17, 1998, upon his arrival in Pakistan, Hamdi faxed a personal message to al-Fawwaz telling him that they'd arrived safely and that things were going according to plan. What plan? Ziyad Khalil bought the phone. It was a special purchase for Usama Bin Laden himself. He then bought the battery, but there was a problem getting it easily to Afghanistan. What better way to do so than to have ABC News arrange -- and pay for -- Hamdi's trip, enabling him to deliver this battery personally?
"So what's the big deal? you may ask. So what if Hamdi delivered some battery to Bin Laden?
"The big deal is that this specific battery powered the satellite phone Bin Laden used to personally give the order to blow up the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
"The big deal is that a man who worked with Sami al-Arian made the embassy bombings possible, with an able assist from ABC News."
end quote (I underlined some parts of this, but all other emphasis was original to the book)

So once again, our fifth column friends in the media get themselves mixed up in situations that are causing outright tragedies for our country!
And if anyone wants to read a fascinating book, this one is it. Highly recommended!
People like this disappearing into America's woodwork are scary enough in and of themselves. Where are the national alerts on this? Our media should be constantly reminding people to be vigilant about sighting them and reporting them to authorities - instead there is NOTHING.
America is filled with roads that can harbor terrorists, homeless people and illegal immigrants on state lands, national forest roads, logging roads, etc. They can live in their vehicles and bathe in streams, making little, if any, public contact until they are good and ready to do so. Park personnel have been reduced or in many cases eliminated all over the country, enabling this situation.
Perhaps not Wahhabist themselves, but if the number of moslems in the US who would welcome the downfall of this country approaches anywhere near 50%, this is not good.
It's a much higher number of people than the 10% that we usually hear quoted, who are considered violent radicals.
If 50% of that population condones violence against the country they have chosen to live in, it's beyond the pale.
