Islamic jihadists attack Catholic school in Kashmir
These misunderstanders of Islam attacked the school before the Pope made his remarks.
"Muslim militants attack Catholic school in Kashmir," from CWNews.com, with thanks to Twostellas:
Sep. 13 (CWNews.com) - Muslim fundamentalists attacked a Catholic school in India's Kashmir valley on Monday, demolishing a wall and smashing windows and furniture.
The Good Shepherd Mission School in Pulwama is run by a popular missionary priest, Father Jim Borst of the Dutch Mill Hill order, who has been in the region since 1963. Although Muslim militants persuaded the state government to begin proceedings to expel the priest in 2004, Christian groups campaigned successfully to reverse that order. A leading retreat preacher, Father Borst is credited with initiating the translation of the Bible into the Kashmiri language. The elderly priest-- now in his 70s-- is regularly sought by local Muslims and Hindus, as well as Christians, to comfort the sick and suffering.
During the September 11 attack on the missionary's school, the Muslim militants involved shouted slogans denouncing all Christian missionaries.

Al Qaeda presence in Kashmir worries India
http://www.india-defence.com/reports/2476 ^
Posted on 09/08/2006 1:12:24 PM PDT by Srirangan
In a major breakthrough, security forces in Jammu's Medhar region have recovered two video CDs containing a film of a training camp being operated by the Al-Qaeda at an undisclosed location, an ANI TV report said on Friday.
The CDs carry no hint of the exact location of the training camps.
The CDs were obtained from two Al-Qaeda terrorists who were gunned down by the security forces. The CDs show youth receiving physical training, shooting and riding horses.
The youths are also shown singing motivational songs. The CD shows youth as young as 12-year-old are being taught expertise in the use of artillery.
It is not clear as to how the CDs landed in Jammu and Kashmir. In recent times, there were reports that Al-Qaeda has made a foray into the Kashmir valley.
Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden is also shown delivering a speech and inspiring the youth to fight for the jehadi cause. While many knew about the terrorist outfit in the eighties and nineties, Al-Qaeda hogged the international limelight after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Tower in the US.
Al-Qaeda, an Arabic word meaning 'the Base', was founded sometime in 1988 by Osama bin Laden and Muhammad Atef, the latter a native Egyptian and a one-time member of the terrorist group Egyptian Islamic Jihad.
Al-Qaeda grew out of the Services Office, a clearing house for the international Muslim brigade that opposed the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
In the 1980s, under the leadership of bin Laden and the Palestinian religious scholar Abdullah Azzam, the Services Office recruited, trained and financed thousands of foreign mujahideen or 'holy warriors' from more than 50 countries.
Seeking to extend the Islamic jihad or 'holy war' beyond the borders of Afghanistan even after the March 1988 Soviet pledge to withdraw its forces, bin Laden created Al-Qaeda.
The organisation today supports Muslim fighters in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Tajikistan, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, and Kosovo. It also trains members of terrorist organisations from the Philippines, Algeria and Eritrea.

TERRORISM: SUICIDE BOMBER'S 'WEDDING' TO FEATURE IN NEW TV SHOW
Dubai, 14 Sept. (AKI) - A new programme airing on al-Arabiya, the Dubai-based pan-Arabic network, will on Friday show rare footage of a mock wedding ceremony carried out for a suicide bomber on the eve of his terrorist mission. Known as The Martyr's Wedding - the young man is being symbolically wed to the 'virgin' that under Islamic teaching awaits him in heaven - it is also believed to be a form of moral encouragement by terrorist groups to encourage followers to conduct suicide operations.
The programme is the second in a new series on terrorism which examines some of the social, religious, political and economic factors that play into the terrorist phenomenon and boasts rare or previously unknown video footage.
The first episode, aired last Friday, discussed the backgrounds of the the three most wanted leaders of Al-Qaeda - Osama Bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - revealing details that have never been shown through video footage and interviews with their relatives and friends.
The upcoming second episode, entitled "From Recruitment To Death", looks at how young people are being convinced to join extremist groups, and how they are being trained on weapons and in carrying out suicidal attacks.
There is also footage showing how and where members of those groups receive intensive training in explosives and in combat with various kinds of weapons.
The surprise of the show, according to al-Arabiya, will be a special interview with one of the former leaders of an extremist group - a friend of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. The two co-founded an Islamic terrorist group in Jordan in the nineties, and spent four years together in jail. This former terrorist leader will be speaking of his experience as a prominent leader of a terrorist group until he reflected, repented and decided to reject violence and the murder of innocent people.

EGYPT: FBI HELPING AL-QAEDA HUNT, PRESS REPORTS
Cairo, 14 Sept. (AKI) - Egyptian intelligence officials are working with FBI agents on the investigation and hunt for alleged terrorists who infiltrated Egypt last month, according to opposition daily al-Wafd. The newspaper says the joint operation involves combing the entire area close to the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria, the suspects' likely entry point, and claims that the security forces have arrested eight people in recent weeks. The suspects, who are being detained, are accused of belonging to organisations based on religious ideologies.
The arrest of a suspected terrorist and the information gathered from his laptop, have shown that their targets were once again the tourist resorts on the Red Sea, security sources said.
More than 70 Egyptians were arrested earlier this month in and around Alexandria, while another group was detained in the Nile Delta town of Damanhur.
"They were arrested because they consulted Islamist websites linked to militant groups," said a lawyer representing the detainees.
The news reports of the presence of al-Qaeda operatives in Egypt have been met with scepticisim by many experts and analysts of Islamic terrorism.
