JERUSALEM Global civilization is on the verge of "World War III," a massive conflict in which the Islamic world will attempt to impose its ideology on Western nations, according to Meir Amit, a former director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency.
Amit, one of the most esteemed figures in the international defense establishment, warned Islamic nations and global Islamist groups will continue launching "all kinds of attacks" against Western states. He urged the international community to immediately unite and coordinate a strategy to fight against the "Islamic war."
We are on the eve of war with the Islamic world, which will wage a war and all kinds of actions and attacks against the Western world. We already noticed the terrorists in the world hit Spain, England, France. I call it World War III. You must look at it from this angle and treat it wider, not as a problem of terrorism here and there," said Amit, speaking during an exclusive interview with WND's Aaron Klein and ABC Radio's John Batchelor broadcast on Batchelor's national program, for which Klein serves as a co-host. (Listen to the Amit interview.)
Amit served as Mossad chief from 1963 to 1968. He directed some of the most notorious Mossad operations during that time and pioneered many of the tactics currently used by intelligence agencies worldwide. The subject of multiple books and movies, Amit is routinely described as a "living legend." Now in his mid-80s, Amit serves as chairman of Israel's Center for Special Studies.
The former intelligence chief referenced recent terror attacks against Israel, Europe and the United States; Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions; the insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan; and worldwide Muslim riots.
"It looks to me like it is a kind of coordinated or contemplated problem to somehow impose the Islamic idea all over the world," Amit said.
Israel is routinely attacked by Palestinian terror groups. Since December 2000, 993 Israelis have been killed. Spain in March 2004 was struck by a series of coordinated bombings on its commuter train system, killing 192 people. London was rocked last July by bombings on its transportation system. France has been the scene of violent Muslim riots and attacks. And on Sept. 11, 2001, 2,986 people were killed when the U.S. was hit with coordinated terror attacks.
Violent Muslim riots erupted last month in the West Bank, Syria and Lebanon after cartoon images of Muhammad were printed in a Danish newspaper. The riots spread across the Middle East and throughout Europe.
At least 40 people were killed yesterday in a blast north of Mosul in Iraq. Iran and Syria have been accused of aiding the insurgency there and in Afghanistan against U.S. and European troops.
Amit urged Western nations to "unite and work together. Unfortunately, the world is not uniting. China and Russia are problems. This should be taken into consideration."
Both China and Russia have been aiding Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran claims is intended for peaceful purposes only. Russia last month received a delegation of Hamas leaders, and pledged to maintain diplomatic relations with the terror group in spite of efforts by the U.S. and Israel to isolate the newly elected Hamas-led Palestinian government.
Amit said Iran currently poses the most serious threat to the international community.
"The Iranians [are] financing terrorists in Israel and sending money," Amit said. "This is [my country's] immediate problem. But I think the most serious problem is Iran developing nuclear power."
I'm inclined to take the term 'eve' quite literally, as in as soon as the votes are counted in Israel.
It also does not hurt Russia for Middle Eastern oil to be off line....They become the top dog with their oil supplies. That in itself would make them a power again. Why not first create the situation and then sit back and let China and the West duke it out.

Radical??? These people are not radical they are just following the teachings in the koran!
Our real war is against any who believe in following the koran. Just plain old basic followers of a religion that demands killing. For some reason the only killing religion we have not wiped out. Where are the Thuggees, the Cannibals, the practice of Sutti the Satinic sacrifices, the sacrifices to the Aztec gods.....?
Until we begin fighting the teachings of the koran, the whole religion, we get no where.
The only reason to classify these people as radical is to allow this religion to remain and grow for the next generation to be taken over by it.
I mention this because of references on this thread to _Hamas_. This page [linked above] traces a thread connected with the name _Ham_ from the time of the flood unto today.
I agree with you in the main that Nost's precognitions were connected with France; in translating some of his verses into Hebrew, and in the context he presented, some of his quatrains appear to be mirrors of some Bible prophecies, and can expand upon some of the specific instances in the Bible [in the same way that Josephus expanded the context of much of OT history.]
I know of no instance of the variant _Malus_ for _Mabus_ [II 62] in any authorized original text; do you have a reference for this?
On the matter of Nost's dates and the Gregorian Calendar, you might find my
calendar page instructive. It accounts for all of Nost's dates except the X 72 date, 1999.
Despite this extended scholarship of mine regarding The Centuries, I agree that a light attitude on the reader's part will serve best. I am astounded at the conclusions people jump to in connection with some of the vaguest language.
I will argue, however, that some progress can be made by translating some of the vaticinations into Hebrew: Nost's natural tongue.
By the by: IMHO Hal Lindsey seems to have done more damage to Biblical prophecy than any other commentator; while Lindsey awaits the Pope putting on a set of horns, jumping into a tank and heading for Jerusalem, the import of the whole panoply of the peersecution of Christianity by Islam is escaping all his followers.

I wish I could say otherwise, but - at least at this time, as in "RIGHT NOW" - The West does _not_ have the "will" to fight to win.
Look around at America. Half the electorate voted for Gore, almost that many for Kerry. These are NOT people with the fire in their guts and the constitution in their hearts that will be necessary to engage the Islamic evil in an all-out, no-holds-barred war for survival.
Yes, we have the nuclear weaponry that could obliterate Islamic world. But it will not be used. Stop kidding yourselves: who is going to step right up and be the president who goes down in history for issuing the orders to kill hundreds of millions?
Right now, The West has the power to win, but not the will.
The Islamics have the will, but (at least not yet) the power.
Unfortunately, time is on their side, if we do not change as a nation - by developing the national cohesion that makes it possible for the vast, overwhelming majority of Americans to:
1. realize the nature of the evil that faces us, and
2. unite with the spirit and sense of sacrifices to vanquish it.
I also believe that at some point in this struggle, it will require the presence of a 21st-Century Winston Churchill, who will speak openly of the Islamic evil and, in that openness, destroy political correctness once and for all and send multiculturalism to the dustbin of history where it belongs.
I wish I had I more faith in The West. I'm hoping I'm proved wrong.

Where and how have you reached this conclusion?
I was surprised to hear that they were to meet this afternoon and earlier I heard that the debate would continue either tonight or in the morning. I guess they will sneak unpopular legislation in like they usually do when no one's looking.
I was hoping that Frist would be able to stop this madness and not give in to the demands of the mexican criminals.
91,919 (Total from these two campaigns of WW-III.)
If it turns out that Iraq trained and planned the Anthrax attacks and/or 911, it would mean the socialists baathists used Islamic Terrorist/Terrorism as cover. If the Russians armed and help trained the Iraqis, the socialist baathist were Russia's surrogates. If that is true, it is time to start digging out the bomb shelters again.
You're right about the total deaths being over 100,000.
We paid a high price, and sadly WW III isn't over, merely suspended.
>"Radical??? These people are not radical they are just following the teachings in the koran!"<
-calling it "radical" Islam is being redundant, for sure...
>"Until we begin fighting the teachings of the koran, the whole religion, we get no where."<
agreed, the truth needs to be told about this "religion" -It's just as much a political system as Naziism was, mixed in with a little religion to make it palatable for the great unwashed.
interesting comments
Perhaps some, but his father before him, King Hussein, was also quite a rational man. The only time he acted irrationally was to get involved in th '67 war with Israel, when Israel literally begged him not to step in. It was a move I believe he always later regretted...

It is highly unlikely that we will ever know the truth about the anthrax attacks, and they will remain officially "unsolved" forever. I have my own beliefs as to who, and feel I've an 85% chance of being right...
