UPDATED - ALERT - Frightening Text Messages Being Forwarded Around NY Jews January 2, 2009 3:00PM EST: [UPDATE BELOW] With the situation in Gaza deteriorating by the day, and anti-semitism rampant around the world, thousands of NY Jews were frightened upon receiving the following text message which has been going around on Friday afternoon:
“A Jewish woman gave a tip to a Muslim taxi driver and out of appreciation he warned her not to go to Manhattan next week Wednesday.”
YWN has reached out to high-ranking members of the NYPD, and have stated that although they received the same text message, “there are no credible threats to be concerned about - and don’t even know where this text message originated from”.
The only message that they do have for the public is the same message that they have been saying since 9/11. That message is “always be aware of your surroundings, be vigilant, and if you see anything suspicious contact the police department immediately to report what you have seen”.
UPDATE 3:50PM EST: YWN has just spoken with NYS Assemblyman Dov Hikind who tells us that he has received various reports regarding this ‘threat’ and has personally contacted the FBI who is currently investigating them.
He thanked YWN for our alert to calm the public, and echoed the call for calm and vigilance at anytime and any location. “If you see something, say something,” Hikind said.
“The FBI and the NYPD take these types of threats very seriously, and investigate them thoroughly to ensure the safety of the public.”
May Hashem protect us from no harm - no matter where in the world we are located.

Why should one keep their bottled water out of the sunlight? Where I am there are acres of it out in the desert sun.
I am wondering why the hysteria and insults over a terrorist threat discussion? Since I joined in 2000 these threads have been ongoing.
Why would they insert themselves, bumping the thread, flaming away, if they don’t like the discussion?
Weird behavior. Very curious.
DAMMIT!!! You beat me to it, with the very same picture, you dog.
How about this, you admit you are wrong if it doesn’t happen and I’ll do the same if it does.
How’s that.
A very interesting exchange between you two about potable water. Thanks for the tips, especially about the hot water heater. I never thought of that one.
I am quite amused by it all.
;-)
Re the Strong Horse:
“In his own words at his celebration dinner, bin Laden laid out bluntly his theory of power: “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.”
How about this?
We all pray that it doesn't happen, and we treat each other as friends who disagree.
(just in case you aren't)
How’s this Hulka, I was advising you that RB’s information did not come from the internet, but by word of mouth. Now, that statement owes no apologies.
Not sure where you are coming from, but the negativity and the finger pointing is a real drag. If you think this is a bunch of bull then find another topic that agrees with you more. But, please stop insisting for an apology from me because it’s not coming today or tomorrow.
We get the point, you think this is is a bunch of BS, ok, we get it. Now, let the rest of us discuss this topic, ok? Thank you.

Thank you for the heads up, RaceBannon. I do not doubt what you say is true.
I hope the authorities are able to get to the bottom of this and that nothing happens tomorrow. God bless you.
New Zawahiri message threatens US, discusses Gaza
January 6, 2009 A new message from Al Qaeda second in command Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri entitled “The Massacre in Gaza and the Siege of the Traitors” was released this afternoon by As Sahab.
The message, in the form of an audio tape played over a still image, is 10 minutes, 18 seconds in length.
In the message, Zawahiri says: “Be strong and persist in the way of Jihad. The whole Muslim ummah is united with you. We will never stop until we avenge the death of all who are killed, injured, widowed and orphaned in Palestine and throughout the Islamic world. We are at work to carry out the promise of our fighting sheikh Osama Bin Laden (may Allah protect him) who promised that America will not live in peace in their dreams before before we live in peace in Palestine, and until all the forces of the infidels leave the lands of Muhammed.”
He makes specific reference to US President-elect Barack Obama as well as to Egyptian President Husni Mubarak: What you are facing today is just occupation and settlement that is limited to one area or one country, but is part of a series in the Crusaders war against Islam. These air strikes are a gift from Obama before he takes office, and from Husni Mubarak, the traitor who is the primary partner in your siege and murder.
We are completing a full translation now.

Notice how he refers to OBL in the past tense?
You're kidding, right?
Sit back and reread what you wrote...
That actually bothers me. It has not been publicly confirmed of his fate this whole time because it was a signal for an attack.
i guess that sort of thing would matter to an English major.
Exactly.
“I am quite amused by it all.”
By possible terror? Then you’re sick. Either that or very immature.
Race, the disruptor and the nay-sayer are simply cowards. The brave remain vigilant and take threats seriously. Thanks for posting.
Why don't you find a thread more to your liking rather than muck up this one.....
...and getting in the way when the rest of us are trying to assimilate information!
