American al Qaeda member lambastes U.S. troops
CNN ^ | July 8, 2006 | CNN

Posted on 07/07/2006 9:30:53 PM PDT by FairOpinion

California-born al Qaeda member Adam Gadahn speaks out against U.S. troops on a video that has been released by As-Sahab, the terror network's video-production outfit.

The video deals primarily with the London subway bombings of 2005, but includes a five-minute speech from Gadahn, in English, in which the American lashes out at allegations of war crimes recently leveled at U.S. troops in Iraq.

Mentioned specifically are alleged incidents in Mahmoudiya and Haditha.

In the video, Gadahn says the incidents represent a pattern of U.S. and British brutality toward Muslims, and he says he saw U.S. soldiers kill civilians in Afghanistan.

"They have murdered thousands of Afghan civilians," he says. "I have seen it with my own eyes, carried the victims in my own arms. You name it, they have bombed it."

Gadahn has appeared in previous al Qaeda videos wearing a mask, but his face is uncovered in the new video.

Gadahn is wanted in connection with possible terrorist threats against the United States, according to the FBI.

He found Islam after moving into his grandparents' Santa Ana home, where he began exploring Internet message boards about religion and reading English translations of the Quran.

"You see, I discovered that the beliefs and practices of this religion fit my personal theology and intellect as well as basic human logic," Gadahn wrote in the essay.

Does it never don on people that they are living in a city called Santa Ana? In other words, one named after a saint. It's just always puzzled me that a city with a name like San Francisco can turn into one of the most vile cesspools on earth.

And then this guy goes out, discovers a religion about a child-molesting prophet who brought rape, war, and destruction wherever he went, and he emulates him and speaks out against US war crimes (rolls eyes)

Or a hellfire...which would be more fitting in some ways.

Either way...he will get his just like his hero Zarqawi got his and his father, Bin Laden, ultimately will get his.

Part of this video was aired on local news within the past hour. In my mind, I saw cross-hairs superimposed on Gadahn's turbaned head and bearded face.

And how is it that his interest in a "religion" so naturally segued into becoming a terrorist?

Wonder if this fits his personal theology and intellect as well as his basic human logic...

A man and a woman are being stoned to death in Mazar-e-Sharif.

Afghan woman stoned to death for adultery

March 30,1997

A woman has been stoned to death in the eastern Afghan province of Laghman after the judges found her guilty of adultery, Afghanistan’s official Kabul radio said.

The broadcast, monitored in Islamabad, did not give the date of the execution of Jamila, who it said was sentenced after her husband, Aminullah caught her while trying to flee with a stranger Abdullah, to another district in Laghman.

Aminullah killed Abdullah and was sentenced to 12 years in jail, said the radio, “Jamila was stoned to death on the charge of adultery”: the radio said. It did not say who did the stoning or whether it was carried out in public.

He looks like Tiny Tim. Can he sing Tiptoe Through The Tulips?

Seriously... another nutcase from California denouncing America - now that's original. How's that different from Bela Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, San Francisco, Berkeley, etc. etc.?

I get those visions when I hear "Head On. Apply directly to the forehead."

Adam old boy, islam must have really rotted your brain because now there is zero chance of coming back to America as a free man, but a very good chance of a Real American putting a bullet through your face.
