"Zarqawi’s Islamic Challenge: Terror Leader Throws Down Gauntlet to Moderate Muslims"
by Robert Spencer
Posted Jun 2, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "While the world media has been consumed with speculation about the health and whereabouts of jihad leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, it has hardly noted at all a challenge he issued just before he was injured. Yet this challenge could in the long run prove to be more potent than the suicide bombings he continues to inspire in Iraq."

"Iraq: Why the Insurgency Can’t Win"
Arab News ^ | Saturday, 4, June, 2005 | Amir Taheri

Posted on 06/03/2005 6:48:32 PM PDT by nickcarraway

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A month after the formation of Iraq’s first freely elected government, news of suicide attacks, car bombs, and kidnappings continue to dominate the headlines from Baghdad. In April and May the number of people killed in terrorist attacks rose to an average of 15 a day, compared to five for February and March.

Does this mean that the insurgency has fresh wind in its sails? Are the terrorists winning, as some Western commentators suggest?

The answer to both questions is no."
