Williams sells books. It's in his interest to stoke a fantasy for the gullible.
You're one of the gullible.
Oh, yeah, that would delay them -- NOT. Nutjob "clerics" who will give their blessing to any harebrained scheme are a dime a dozen in Jihadistan.
You said "...Also thy have to follow Sahria Law. Thy must get essentially the "blessing" or the go ahead from a cleric or a number of clerics to OK the slaughter of innocent, non-combatives. They also must allow for a truce or submission. If this is ignored or refused the attitude is "well we covered all of our bases. The West has no one to blame but themselves." Kind of like the last few tapes that were out."
I see what you are driving at, but I think it is a false assumption that these people are going to adhere to some kind of law if it gets in their way. I really do not think these people are going to stop what they do if some collection of clerics say they cannot commit their acts of terrorism. They are just going to find a like-minded terrorist cleric who will give them the go-ahead.
If what you say is true, then the 9/11 hijackers must have got permission from some cleric somewhere. I doubt that the cleric asked them questions like "How many do you plan to kill?" What if the guy replied "As many as possible."
Do you think the cleric will mull that over and say "Well, we can't have that. Can't you limit it to a smaller number of Infidel deaths? If we kill 50,000, that is going to look bad. Can you find a smaller building to crash into? Better yet, why don't you just take a plane and blow it up? And not a 747 please...try to go for one of those smaller commuter jets...perhaps just like one of those ones that we took to Mecca back in 1989, the ones that had the nice beverage holders on the seats. Remember that tahini they passed out to all of us just after we took off? By Allah, I was famished since we just came out of those caves up on the Afghan Pakistani border..."
Okay, I was starting to get a bit silly there, but you see my point.
They strap explosives around their waists, not toss them. Trust me, they are stupid.
"P. Williams shot that argument down. It is all about planning, coordination, and getting them in the country."
That makes no sense. Al Qeada has been attacking us for close to 15 years. Do you believe that they haven't used nukes on us because they haven't finished planning, they are still coordinating, or because they haven't gotten them (the nukes) in the country yet? If they haven't gotten that done yet, either they can not, and I have a significant problem believing that prior to 9/11/2001, or they don't have them.
"Also thy have to follow Sahria Law. Thy must get essentially the "blessing" or the go ahead from a cleric or a number of clerics to OK the slaughter of innocent, non-combatives.

They got the blessing for 9/11/2001 and can not get it now? With nukes?
They have never called for nor allowed any opportunity for a truce/submission. They hide in caves. They don't want to negotiate. They do not want a truce, they do not even want submission. They want us DEAD.
Not worth the time to listen to, unless looking for a dose of paranoia.
