"Author Examines 'War' Against Non-Muslims"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Washington (CNSNews.com) - Western policymakers need to "undertake a systematic study" of Islamic theology and law before they can understand the goals and motives of terrorists who are working to subjugate or convert non-Muslim populations, a scholar on Islam told a gathering in Washington on Tuesday.
It would be a mistake to assume that Islam has been "hijacked," argued Robert Spencer, the author of a recent book on the prophet of Islam, Mohammed.
Terrorists and extremists targeting American interests today are making use of the actual text in the Koran and the teachings of their prophet, he said.
Spencer is the director of the Jihad Watch website and the author of six books, his most recent dealing with Mohammed.
"It is untrue that jihadists are a tiny minority of extremists," Spencer said in a lecture hosted by the Heritage Foundation.
"The texts of Islamic jurisprudence say it is incumbent upon the Islamic community to wage war against non-Muslims until they submit or convert. This concept is shared by all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence and is not rejected by anything considered orthodox."
At the conclusion of Spencer's presentation, police were called to the event after several individuals began to chant slogans, expressing their displeasure at the substance of Spencer's talk."

Iraqi Special Forces, Police Nab Cell Leaders, Members
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2006 – Iraqi special forces soldiers and police nabbed terror-cell leaders and members in raids in Baghdad over the last two days, U.S. officials reported. In addition, coalition forces killed 11 insurgents in Ramadi.
Coalition forces have killed 11 insurgents in three related incidents in Ramadi. In an incident today near Haswah, three insurgents were observed emplacing an improvised explosive device. They were engaged with small-arms fire and a main-tank-gun round. Two insurgents were killed.
In a raid yesterday in the same area, special Iraqi police forces with coalition advisors captured six insurgents believed to be responsible for car-bomb attacks against Iraqi civilians and security forces. The insurgents are also allegedly responsible for criminal activities including extortion, murder, kidnapping and car theft in the Haswah and Baghdad areas. The insurgents also help finance other insurgent cells.
Last night, coalition forces engaged a small number of insurgents emplacing an improvised explosive device. Two insurgents died in the engagement. The three remaining insurgents returned to the emplacement site, and coalition forces fired one main-tank-gun round, killing all three insurgents.
Following an IED attack on a coalition vehicle four hours later in the same vicinity, four insurgents were killed after they attempted to take mission-essential equipment from the vehicle. Two of the insurgents were killed by small-arms fire, and two were killed with one main-tank-gun round. This event occurred during curfew hours.
Nine additional suspects were detained by Iraqi forces during the raid, and several assault rifles were confiscated. Iraqi forces entered a mosque compound while conducting the operation but did not enter the mosque. Coalition forces did not enter the mosque compound or the mosque.
Elsewhere, U.S. Army soldiers detained three suspected terrorists in Baghdad’s Doura neighborhood around 5:45 a.m. yesterday. The soldiers, from 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, responded to a rocket attack and observed two suspects fleeing from the scene. The suspects attempted to evade the patrol, but were unsuccessful. The patrol secured the suspects for further questioning.
In a Nov. 12 raid in Arab A’ Jabur, special Iraqi security forces with coalition advisors captured four members of an insurgent cell believed to be responsible for murders, kidnappings and bomb attacks that have killed and injured Iraqi civilians and Iraqi police forces.
The insurgents were also allegedly responsible for taking over Iraqi civilian houses in the area to use for expanding their network, causing families to be displaced.
No Iraqi forces or civilians or coalition forces were killed during these incidents.
