Ok, now if someone would please tell the islamists that this is just a dream and will never happen, we can all go home and do more important things..like hugging and kids, and playing with the wife. Unitl then......

"This is just part of (al Qaeda's) war of slogans."

Key phrase in this article. Trying to convince the public that the threat isn't serious and that it's just rhetoric. Nice try.

Exactly!

It may only be a dream but those pesky nutjobs are attempting it and that is where the problem is.

Communism was just a dream too, but how many million people died during the nightmare of implementation? 50 million in China, 40 million in Russia, who knows?

Yeah, well, the "experts" are fools to underestimate an enemy. Not only is it possible, but given the fact that 2/3 of our government will be Democrat-controlled by 2008, and Europe will do nothing to stop Iran, a ME/NorthAf Caliphate is an imminent reality in my opinion.

There is a better chance for the Christians to reunite then for the Muslims to form a caliphate. The former would be a miracle and the latter "in your dreams".

In 1928 the majority of Germans thought that a Nazi takeover was a dream too.

That gas you smell? Its not really Zyklon B, its just intended to kill lice. Be calm. Relax. Nothing will happen to you.

It should be titled "Islamic caliphate a dream, not reality - yet.". Oh, wait, my mistake, the title actually says the statement is advanced by "not reality-experts"!

Tragic as it seems, we're probably going to have to "officially" lose a government or two in Europe to the Muzzies before the free world actually takes notice. In the case of the U.S., we've already had our Pearl Harbor on 9/11 and better be ready to defend Europe.

We're already losing them--look at what's going on (rioting) in France, the demands being placed on the governments in Belgium, Great Britian, and Germany, among others...

This is what was written IN ENGLISH.

Imagine what Reuters is distributing in arabic!

These stories are trivial to the arab street. Fluff for the fact that while it may be impossible in fact, the mainstreat of Islam is going to push for a blooding death by death war to establish that fact.

If anything CAIR probably has the author written up for a civil rights crime. Notice how cair is seting themselves up as an Isamic Sharia Thought Police in the USA?

Dear Muslims:

Those of us in the west might be more open to understanding your religion if only we could tell who the Real Muslims are.

There's only one way to settle this, the old fashioned way, with swords. And the only place with enough space (an a great central location) is Saudi Arabia.

So instead of going on that boring old hajj this year, I encourage all Muslims to go to S. Arabia, and let Allah decide who are his true followers, in trial by combat.

If enough of the True Muslims kill enough of the "apostate" Muslims, well the issue should be settled, may Allah be the referee.

The "true" survivors could then try to convert the rest of the world by the sword. Of course, there will be a lot less of you, and we won't be using swords.

The survivors of that struggle should just be forced to convert to Judaism or Christianity, or at least pay some form of tax.

But only the TRUE muslims. We don't want to waste any depleted uranium on fake Muslims. It's up to you guys to sort that part out. You may begin to ululate at any time...

Nothing to be concerned about here citizens. Please, go on about your business. Everything is completely under control.

"It may only be a dream, but those pesky nutjobs are attempting it, and that is where the problem is."

Why do we Freepers always need to point out the obvious facts that the MSM misses? The MSM will go back and forth between "Bush has exaggerated the terrorist threat" to "Why didn't Bush connect the dots?" But if the threat is allegedly illusory, why should Bush be looking for any dots to connect?

It may be a dream, but there are millions out there that are willing to kill us all to make it come true. Even if they can't succeed in making it come true, they can succeed in killing millions of us, if we let them. Let's not.

And - 20 years ago - who would have thought that Mohammed would be the most common name for male babies born in Belgium in 2005?

" better be ready to defend Europe."

We did it twice, that's enough. Europe will go down because of their own degrading culture and not because of invasion. Let them reap what they have sown.

The mahdi they are expecting will unite Sunni and Shia - they'll come together for the sake of the caliphate.
