Legitmate demands
A message from the mujahid brother Adam Yehiye Gadahn (Azzam)
This is not a call for negotiations. We don’t negotiate with baby killers and war criminals like you. No, these are legitimate demands which must be met
All praise is due to Allah creator of the heavens and the earth and prayers and peace be upon the messenger of Allah, and his companions, family, and followers until the day of judgement.
Bush. You thought you would be remembered by history as the President who waged a series of successful Crusades against the Muslims. Instead, you will go down in history not only as the president who embroiled his nation in a series of unwinnable and bloody conflicts in the Islamic world but as the President who sent the United States off on its death march towards breakdown and disintegration.
Oh, I’m sure there will be some partisans who believed your lies and some fanatics who shared your murderous Crusader ideology who will remember you fondly and mourn for you when this world is at long last rid of you, just as there were those who heaped praise on your fellow bloodthirsty nation destroying crusaders Milosovich and Yeltsin when they passed on to Allah’s anger but such minority sentiments can do nothing to cover up the ugliness of your crimes, the truth about your Empire of Evil, and the colossal failure of your Global Crusade.
You may or may not be aware of it but today, nearly four years after you hastily declared victory in Iraq, and more than five and a half years after you fell into the Afghanistan trap, things aren’t going too well for your Crusader Coalition. In fact, things are going really bad.
From Kanduz to Diyala, you and your mercenary hirelings and loyal but stupid allies are easy prey for our martyrdom-seekers. In East Africa, where many of the wars opening battles were fought years ago, the blood of your Ethiopian proxies is making the sand run red from Mogadishu to Ogadeen, and from the Levant, Egypt, and the Sudan to the Islamic Magrhib and Nigeria new fronts are being opened and old fronts are being reinvigorated and you and your are feeling the heat.
And, as confirmed by a new poll of Muslims in four major regional countries conducted by the Center for International Security Studies at the University of Maryland, Muslims continue to support and defend the goals, efforts, and sacrifices of their brothers and sisters, the Mujahideen and continue to demonstrate broad awareness of the evil nature of America and the threat posed by it.
This despite your worst efforts to distort out image in the eyes of Muslims and camoflauge your true intentions
In other words, you’re losing on all fronts and losing big time.
Bush, the die has been cast and the blood has been spilled and there is no way to undo what you have done.
There are, however, some steps you can take to curtail your losses and prevent the number of American casualties at home and abroad from rising even higher.
The Champions of Islam, defending their faith and brethren against your evil doing have repeatedly made clear these steps but because I know you live in a cocoon of your own making, and prefer to remain ignorant of what goes on in the world, I shall summarize them here. I strongly suggest you heed and implement them for your own good and the good of your people.
One, pull every last one of soldiers, spies, security advisors, trainers, attaches, and so on out of every Muslim land from Afghanistan to Zanzibar. Should so much as one single American soldier or spy remain on Islamic soil, it shall be considered sufficient justification for us to continue our defensive jihad against your nation and people.
Two, stop all support and aid - military, political, economic, or otherwise – to the fifty-six plus apostate regimes of the Muslim world and abandon them to their well-deserved fate at the hands of the soldiers of Islam. Should you fail to comply in full we will deem it sufficient justification to continue to fight and kill Americans.
Three, end all support, moral, military, economic, political, or otherwise to the bastard state of Israel and ban your citizens, Zionist Jews, Zionist Christians, and the rest from traveling to the occupied Palestine or settling there. Even one penny of aid will be considered sufficient justification to continue the fight .
Four, cease all interference in the religion, society, politics, and governments of the Muslim world and leave us alone to establish the Islamic Shura State which will unite the Muslims of earth in truth and justice. A single word of American protest shall be silenced by a thousand Islamic bombs.
Five, put an end to all forms of interference in the educational curricula and information media in the Islamic world and impose a blanket ban on all broadcasts to our region, especially those designed to alter or destroy the faith, minds, morals, and values of our people.
And six, free all Muslim captives from your prisons, detention facilities, and concentration camps regardless of whether they have been recipients of what you call a fair trial or not. Your refusal to release them will mean the continuation of our just struggle against your tyranny until the last kidnapped Muslim has been liberated.
This is not a call for negotiations. We don’t negotiate with baby killers and war criminals like you. No, these are legitimate demands which must be met. And your failure to heed our demands and the demands of reason means that you and your people will - Allah willing- experience things which will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11th, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Virginia Tech.
And let us be clear. A pull-out from Iraq alone in the absence of compliance with the remainder of our legitimate demands will get you nowhere and will not save you from our strikes.
SO stop wasting your time, and trying to save face with these futile, farsical maneuvers on Capitol Hill and start making some serious moves.
It’s your choice, Bush, cutting your losses and saving some face by getting out now with what you’ve still got, or continuing to coun t your dead and pursue a bloody fight to the very end. Your end, not ours.
By the grace of Allah, and with his help and power, we’ve struck back hard these past several years and with Allah’s permission we shall continue to strike back hard.
This year, next year, the year after that, and so on, until the last Crusader goes home whether waving a white flag or lying in a flag covered casket.
And our final prayer is that all Praise is due to Allah, who gives victory to the believers.
Virginia Tech? Are they taking credit for that now.
Read carefully this rant can be condensed to a few words: We Muslims are dangerous and irrational. We're no different than a coon with rabies. You must do whatever it takes kill us.
He probably comes and goes across our southern border.
I guess, since otherwise it, while truly awful, does pale in comparison to 9/11.
Here, BTW.... your tagline with a bomb on his head: *-0(:~{>
= )
I don't want you to misunderstand...I'm with you...these scum need to be exterminated as quickly as possible. But, we need to find some balance between destroying the scum while reducing the US presence in the middle east and avoiding killing civilians whose families might not otherwise have been sympathetic enough to become jihadists themselves...AQ and their imitators have decentralized and, if US intelligence is to be believed, expanded. In my opinion, the invasion of Iraq was a collosal mistake...as Scheurer wrote, it validated everything OBL had been telling the Muslim world for 10 years. Lawrence Wright who won a Pulitizer for The Looming Tower (a great read on AQ if you've not read it), believes that OBL badly miscalculated on 9/11...and after the invasion of Afghanistan, the world had repudiated AQ and 80% of its leadership had been killed or captured...then the invasion of Iraq reignited a nearly dead AQ jihadist movement. Now Wright believes the US needs to stay in Iraq but he also believes that AQ is happy now whether the US stays or goes...there are no good options left
I understand that the invasion of Iraq is water under the bridge and there is no point in rehashing whether or not it was the right thing to do except that I see Ron Paul routinely slammed on here for a position that I think has been vindicated by the events of the last 4 years
Hint for trolls: You too are considered 'infidels' and your islamofascist allies WILL kill you as soon as they can (unless you convert and/or become 'good' dhimmis).
Anyone sensing a pattern? Little attacks that go under the radar while CAIR, the ACLU, and the left opposes any attempts to link these acts together. The Islamic websites call this the “infidel harvest”.
So we give up Superpower status, become passive isolationists, stand quietly by like the UN while Islam commits atrocity after atrocity (real ones, not embellished college pranks), and then do NOTHING as they conquer the world?
Are we sure this guy is not a speech writer for the Dems? This and the "baby killer" remark is too cliche'. Honestly, the left and islamofascism are so tied at the hip that it is difficult to tell them apart! With the left/Islam unity conference in Canada for yet more proof, I have to wonder what the "progressives" are thinking in betraying America and siding with the terrorists.
But then I remember that unbridled, absolute power is all the left cares for and will deal with any "Devil" to destroy our freedoms (for our collective 'good' of course). Though the left would never actually work WITH the people trying to actually keep the world SAFE from these barbarian islamofascists as that would mean acknowledging that there IS Good and Evil in the world and that the Christians and Jews (both swear words in the left) ARE on the side of Good and progress while the islamofascists ARE Evil and will destroy all the left SUPPOSEDLY holds dear!
I think that the CIA should put out a hit on him, Sadr and of course, if it takes as long as finding Bin Laden, I will be dead before that happens!
Great, now we can use “Gadahn” as a euphemism for the curse G— D-—!
This guy is a tool.
I hope he dies slowly and painfully.
LOL. I've been working on it since '06 ( California Man Revealed as al Qaeda Leader (That Gadahn "Looser" Again)).
Yep... I believe that's the plan. We leave them alone now so that they may strengthen themselves and wipe us out completely later. Sounds fair.
*rolls eyes*
A ‘useful idiot’ is still and idiot.
Read an interesting Eu blog about Muslim EU residents yesterday. Can’t remember where, was having trouble getting onto FR, so clicked around. Anyway, the author moaned about lax immigration laws, cited Norway in particular, who let in tens of thousands of Muslims, thinking they’d ‘westernize/civilize’ them. It didn’t happen. Muslims still mired in their ninth century mindset, like pigs in clover, actually. (Author didn’t blame Islam, but it doesn’t take Einstein to figure it out.)
Also evidence that Sweden...the city of Malmo, their third largest...is now a Muslim mess. Rape and violence against Swedish girls and women so prevalent that it’s hardly news.
Bingo.
