In my opinion, we'd be fools not to take this stuff seriously. Don't panic, but don't be blase' about it, either.
Check out the posts on this forum, particularly the ones from "Raashid".

I doubt that AQ will be able to pull this off exactly on the astrological event, and I don't get very excited whenever I read another "date-theory" plot possibility. However, I think the article reminds us of the important facet that it's only a matter of time, and every liberal is another potential minute wasted.

Seems the Sunni and the Shia are still arguing over who/when the Mahdi is to be. The following is an excerpt which would suggest the Lunar and solar eclipse during ramadan are attributed to Ali.
http://www.irshad.org/islam/prophecy/mahdi.htm
The following narration has not been attributed to the Holy Prophet(SAW). It has been identified as false and has been rejected by Muslim scholars for centuries.
Amr son of Shamer quoted Jabir, who quoted Mohammed bin Ali to have said:
For our Mahdi, there are two signs. Since the birth of Universe, these events have never taken place. Those two signs are that there will be Lunar Eclipse on the first night of Ramadhan and Solar Eclipse in the middle of Ramadhan.
(Dar-e-Qatni, Vol. 1, P.188)
Note:
This narration is not attributed to holy Prophet(SAW), but attributed to Mohammed bin Ali. No other person has substantiated this statement attributed to Mohammed bin Ali.
Muslim scholars have always rejected this and other narrations of Amr and Jabir, as both have been known to transmit unreliable and forged narrations.

I just posted this article. There's so much convergent and diverse info, I thought I'd ping you to update any relevant thread roundups you may have going.
bump for later.
So what does that make the Tsunami and the Punjabi earthquake? Allah must be extremely PO'd at the teaching of all those Jihadie indoctrination centers there.
I guess Allah is also hacked off at the Mexicans?
I hope AQ and other towelheads waste their time and money trying to make a nuclear weapon. They won't succeed. I imagine that 99.99999% of the people who claim they can supply or want to buy nukes are CIA agents. Even a dirty bomb would only succeed if their accomplices/useful idiots in the media trump up the effects.
If AQ focusses their energy on weapons, they won't go after the low hanging terrorist fruits: daycare hostage scenarios, RPG attacks in major cities, general mayhem, etc. These are their real tools for creating chaos here.

And I cannot believe there are some Democrats who STILL want to devote every ounce of energy to fighting the White House over EVERYTHING instead of concentrating on defeating terrorism! Argh!
The issue of backpack nukes and suitcase nukes being smuggled into America has been discussed numerous times in great depth here at FR. This subject has already been researched and reported in great detail. The consensus conclusion has been that it takes a very high level of technological support to maintain this type of weapon, which means terrorists would need state support to actually detonate these nukes. No nation wants to take that chance and risk being hit with a devastating retaliatory nuclear strike, although we have to closely watch rouge agencies within the world's nuclear powers.
