From the thread, an excellent statement about radical islam, which sums it up correctly ( my paragraphs ) :
To: UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide
Here is my definition of islam (POA):
islam (POA) is an intolerant cult founded by a Jewish and Christian hating, child molesting pedophile, who was also a murdering thief.
The followers of the cult bow several times a day to worship a meteorite in the sand and follow teachings from a hate filled screed based on moon worship written by a maniac.
The sword and death are used to induct new cult members and remove nonbelievers.
Women of the cult are treated as subhuman slaves whose worth is measured by the pleasure they give men and by the children they produce for the cult.
Beheading, stoning, clitoral cutting, limb chopping, and self-mutilation maintain discipline within the cult.

Greetings, all. Just trying to catch up with the new thread...
Last night I was listening to a talk show on the radio regarding Osama having potential access to two Paki subs capable of launching nuclear missiles at the East Coast...
Does anyone have any information about the validity of this report? I'm going to do some googling.
The person being interviewed apparently has written a book- and is a paleopsychologist. It was about 4 AM and I missed some of what he had to say. Half asleep so I may not be reporting all of this accurately. Here goes:
What I do recall, is that he reported that the Pakistan military and ISI lean in favor of support for Osama. He said that about 50% of the Paki people do NOT support radical Islam and OBL's vision, but are afraid to speak up--as he worded it- "do not want to have their throat's cut...".
He indicated that France helped Pakistan obtain/develop (?) two of these subs and a third will be ready soon- it sounded like he said either within 16 months, or six months. He said the reason he believes OBL has not attacked yet is that he is waiting for the third sub to be ready so that he has "redundancy" to ensure success.
The subs apparently cannot be tracked by the US, and have missiles with a range of 1200 miles.
He indicated that both subs are capable of launching missiles (nuclear) which could reach East Coast Cities.
He further went on to say that, each time Paki forces "ALMOST" catch OBL- the US rewards Pakistan with more funding. The money tends to go to the ISI- which he described as being heavily funded and including a significant proportion of OBL supporters.
He talked at length about how OBL views the Muslim world as the "Ummah"--one Muslim nation- and that if the US struck Pakistan after a nuke attack, it would make little difference to OBL as OBL does not look at the world in terms of nation-states.
He talked about radical Islam as stressing afterlife rewards- which appeal to many of the people in dire straits.
Wish I could recall more. Hoping someone here may have heard the interview.
Do we have any information about Paki nuke subs? I recall mention of Iranian subs- but not Paki subs.
Also- he did NOT trust Musharaff (sp) and felt that the US was being deceived by the Paki dictator.
