There is no war as far as our president is concerned. There are no Islamic Terrorists, only a few rogue extremists. There is no REAL Jihad. Jihad is simply a "spiritual journey" to Allah, the most merciful. So he says. Islam, to his mind, has contributed so much to the world, after all, since Mohammed's slaughter of the Jews at Medina.
Judging by Obama's actions in the recent weeks and months, he no doubt would have agreed the Jews deserved what they got from the "religion of peace." He continues the onslaught in the name of "social justice" and "human rights"...for them. But not for us, US.
It isn't America that Islam despises, it is the Jews. And all we need do to remedy that is to turn the Jews over for just punishment...and they will love America for it. Peace would reign in the world if only America would stop its support of those wicked Jews in Israel.
Unfortunately, his view is not shared by Al Qaeda. Nor would it be shared by the satanic character of Mohammed who ordered the butchering of innocents to further his mad quest for power.
This is excerpted from the latest Al Qaeda screed from Yahya al-Libi:

Abu Yahya Al-Libi

All Americans Must Be Killed Even If They Capitulate

Top Al Qaeda leader Abu Yahya Al-Libi is out with a new, and particularly grim, tract comparing America to the Bani Quraidah, a Jewish tribe that once came into conflict with Mohammed, resulting in all the adult males being killed, and the women and children being taken as slaves, according to a mix of hadith and Quranic sources.

The takeaway from this 20-page work is rather specific and quite possibly a signpost to trouble ahead.
Al-Libi is arguing:

1) The harshest punishment is justified for those who ally themselves with the enemies of Islam, even if those people do not commit overt acts against Muslims.

2) That punishment, in the case of the Quraidah, was that all of the adult males were killed and all women and children taken as slaves. Al-Libi goes out of his way to point out that this punishment was meted out after the Quraidah surrendered.

3) The United States meets the same criteria for judgment as the Quraidah.

The expansion of the conflict here is in keeping with Al Qaeda's practices, although I don't recall seeing it stated so bluntly and justified so elaborately before.

Basically, Al-Libi is saying that every adult male American ought to be killed, whether or not they submit to the judgment of Muslims (meaning Al Qaeda, of course,) whether or not they have specifically taken up arms against Muslims, and whether or not they continue to be at war with Muslims.

Or, to use his words, they are to be killed "not just as a punishment for the crime which they have committed in the past" but "to cut off the very substance of their evil." He specifically includes prisoners taken on the battlefield in this category, although he takes pains to say that his point is much broader.

Something not right? Go with your gut. Report it.

It’s going to take another 9/11 for our laws to get tougher....not going to happen until then I’m afraid. And even then would be questionable.

[caww]

You can actually replace his worlds and put in American people...and Obamas name and this guy would certainly sum up the American attitude toward Obama....wish we had someone who could call it like that.....

The birthers need to see this video.....might give them some idea how it’s done!

[thouworm]

“Nope! Because he is a LONE nutjob! “

“‘LONE nutjobs’ don’t own two homes without a way to pay for them! “

lol; did I need my sarc tag?

The name Aafiya Siddiqi was mentioned in Mehsud's first video as part of the reason for attacks being planned on the US. You might remember she was arrested in Pakistan and tried in New York.

She was an American-educated scientist allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, and placed on an FBI "wanted" list in 2003, arrested in Pakistan in 2008, on charges of attempted murder and assault. The charges were from an incident in which when U.S. law enforcement officials showed up to question her after she was detained by authorities in Afghanistan. She grabbed an unsecured rifle and shot at the agents.

She was recently found guilty and that has caused outrage in Pakistan. BIG TIME.

Aafiya Siddiqi found guilty

The Pakistani press has played up stories of torture and rape at the hands of Americans which has enflamed anti-American sentiment which was pretty bad to begin with.

Pakistanis believe these horror stories and so does a world full of other muslims. The obama administration has not done anything whatsoever to try and defend the American position and this is a story that is seething over there and growing worse by the day. It threatens Zardari and the pro-American government which is weakened and growing weaker.

Even though disclosure of U.S. documents on the Siddiqui case might help to tamp down some of the damage this story is doing to U.S. standing in the region, the obama administration refuses to disclose anything about Siddiqi's detention or her trial. So the story continues to grow adding new embellishments by the day.

We sit here and do not realize the damage this administration is doing, and has already done, to our country overseas. And the administration seems not to care at all.

The more this story grows, the worse it is for us and for US citizens and interests all over the world.

Siddiqi has become a rallying cause for the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

The fact that Mehsud gave her as a reason for attacks on US soil cannot be taken lightly. Prepare for more...and worse.

Speaking of tinfoil...

I sometimes wonder if they will periodically have a guy “take one for the team” (as in fail and get arrested).

That way, it appears that our government is right on top of this stuff and probably lulls most people into a false sense of security regarding our so-called president and government.

[MestaMachine]

We got ourselves a double whammy here!
Is it possible the “bombing attempt” was a dry run for Siddiqi’s sentencing date? In Manhattan?

[MestaMachine]

Get arrested. No. But a dry run, maybe. Yes.

[thouworm]

I don't think it was a dry run, but perhaps an escalating series of attacks? From your previous post: The name Aafiya Siddiqi was mentioned in Mehsud's first video as part of the reason for attackS being planned on the US.

[Califreak]

I wouldn’t put anything past these people.

[onyx]

Yes, they’re all lone nutjobs, who just happen to belong to tha religion of peace. /s

[milford421]

Thank you Mesta Machine. I believe the same.

[MestaMachine]

Which OUGHT to be a “religion” in PIECES. Very, very tiny ones. Like atoms or molecules.

...returned to the U.S. in February after spending a number of months in Pakistan, where he traveled after becoming a naturalized American in April 2009.,,,

A Pakistani government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told TIME on Tuesday that the suspect had ties with militants while in Pakistan.

“He was here at a training camp,” the source said.

The source also claimed that members of Shahzad’s family were arrested in Karachi on Tuesday morning.

The lefties always accused Bush of doing things that damaged our "image" with other countries. Obama is kicking sand in the face of our traditional allies and whipping up Muslims against us...while kissing the ring of the Saudi king. Obama is clearly not playing on our team.

North Korea is likely the party responsible for sinking the Cheonan. Last night the Russians essentially claimed the North Koreans used a mini sub to destroy the oil platform in the Gulf as a strike at the South Koreans and a bid to embarrass Obama.

Excellent research! Of course he acted alone. /s

Love the question & audience reaction (but not Cantor’s response):
~~~~~~~~~

During the Heritage Foundation’s “President’s Club Meeting” at the Marriott Wardham Hotel in Washington, D.C. ...

A person from the audience asked Cantor [House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.)], “In light of what Obama has done to leave us vulnerable, to cut defense spending to make us vulnerable to our outside enemies, to slight our allies … what would he have to do differently to be defined as a domestic enemy?”

After pausing for several moments to let the crowd’s laughter and head nodding dissipate, Cantor was received with low-level boos when he responded, “No one thinks that the president is a domestic enemy,”

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/95891-responding-to-question-cantor-says-no-on-thinks-obama-is-a-domestic-enemy

[onyx]

He added that “we are at a critical crossroads as far as our national security and the shifting sands of global politics so far as our allies and their outlook is concerned.”

Cantor pledged that Republicans would stand with conservative “like-minded” lawmakers on the other side of the aisle when “[Republicans] win the House” to undo the nuclear treaty policies that Obama has adopted.
