A google search for the muslim manifesto will find several versions of this one.
It is patterned on the communist manifesto.
With the two groups now working togather, they are moving fast and we are the loosers.

British and French Al-Qaeda Terrorists Promise to Slit the Throats of
Americans and Jews in a New Film Showing Military Activities in
Afghanistan
The following are excerpts from a report about Al-Qaeda's
anti-American military activities in Afghanistan. Al-Arabiya TV aired
this report on August 5, 2005
Al-Arabiya reporter: In a film by the Al-Qaeda organization, excerpts
of which are shown here in an Al-Arabiya exclusive, Al-Qaeda presents
an ambush followed by an attack on an American army base in Kunar
District in Afghanistan.
The film shows that the commander of the squad that carried out the
operation is Abd Al-Hadi Al-Iraqi, who is also known as the Emir of the
Arab Mujahideen in Afghanistan. He prepares a plan, using special
squads from a number of countries. It is noteworthy that Al-Qaeda
fighters from Britain, Ireland, France, and Pakistan, in addition to
Arabs, speak in the film before the military operation.
Jihad fighter #1: [English] Oh people of the West, don't be fooled by
the lies of Blair and Bush that you are free nations, for the only
freedom that you have is the freedom to be slaves of your whims and
desires.
Jihad fighter #2: [French] We the mujahideen swear, to all Muslims,
the victims of unlimited and endless barbarism, that we will avenge
their martyrs, and that we will slit the throats of the Americans and
the Jews.
Jihad fighter #3: Come and join us. Join this blessed jihad. Come for
the sake of Allah. Join us in this blessed jihad, with Mullah Omar and
Sheik Osama bin Laden.
Al-Arabiya reporter: The film shows Al-Qaeda's military capabilities in
producing explosives which were used in this operation. Then the
Al-Qaeda fighters manage to break into the American army base, after
American planes evacuated the wounded and the dead. The film
shows documents the fighters took from a soldier's computer. In this
computer were documents, military plans, and maps belonging to the
military command of the American forces in Afghanistan.

MMA leader accuses Pak govt of ferrying
ultras to terror camps
Islamabad, Aug 8 (PTI) Virtually confirming the existence of militant training
camps in Pakistan, a radical pro-Taliban cleric has accused the government of
deceiving the United States by helping extremists to crossover into
Afghanistan. "The rulers are not only trying to deceive the US and the West,
but also hoodwinking the entire nation," Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the General
Secretary of Islamist alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal said stung by
government accusations that clerics were promoting religious extremism and
militancy. Claiming that the clerics were playing an active role in restoring
peace in tribal areas, Rehman blamed the government and the military of
sending Taliban elements into Afghanistan. "We ask the rulers to reveal the
identity of the people being transported to Afghanistan from Waziristan in
private vehicles, reveal who is supervising their trouble-free entry into
Afghanistan and reasons for their infiltration," he said in response to
accusations by Lt Gen Safdar Hussain, in-charge of anti-Al-Qaeda operations in
Waziristan that Taliban were backed by religious groups in Pakistan. Rehman,
addressing a press conference in Lahore yesterday, warned that if pressured he
would reveal more facts that would open a "Pandora's box". "Under whose
supervision these people are crossing over to Afghanistan through official gates
(on borders)? Under whose supervision people are being brought from
Waziristan to give them military training at camps in Mansehra," he asked.
Asked if his assertion meant endorsement of India's claims about presence of
Jihadi camps in the country, the leader of the opposition said his statement
should not be seen in New Delhi's context.

Extremist preacher flees to Lebanon
The London Times
By Daniel McGrory
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,22989-1727277,00.html
THE extremist cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed has fled Britain amid
fears that he could be arrested for his support of the London suicide
bombers.
Scotland Yard is understood to have been considering bringing charges
against the controversial leader of the al-Muhajiroun group, who
reportedly flew to Lebanon at the weekend.
The news of his departure came hours after seven men appeared in court
-- three of them charged with trying to kill themselves and commit mass
murder -- accused of involvement in the failed London bomb plot on July
21.
Muktar Said-Ibrahim, Yasin Hassan Omar and Ramzi Mohammad, the alleged
failed suicide bombers, and four other men appeared at brief hearings
in a courthouse next to Belmarsh prison in southeast London. They were
remanded in custody until November 14.
Last night, a close aide of Sheikh Bakri Mohammed told The Times that
the cleric, who had managed to fly out without being noticed, would
never return to Britain.
Only days after Tony Blair gave warning that the activities of radical
preachers would no longer be tolerated, Ahmed Choudary said: "The
sheikh has left the country and I don't think he will come back. He has said
that he is willing to destroy his British documents."
Even if he did try to return, security sources suggested last night
that he would be likely to be arrested. The Times can reveal that the
Crown Prosecution Service has been studying a file on the 47-year-old
Syrian-born radical to assess whether to bring charges over his lectures to
young Muslims that they should "fight Jihad" against Britain. He has
described the July 7 bombers as "the fabulous four".
Sheikh Bakri Mohammed, a father of seven, has lived in Britain since
1982. He has received tens of thousands of pounds in benefits payments
and told followers to claim as much as they can while doing all that they
can allegedly to "wage war" against Britain.
Syrian officials have given warning that he could face prosecution if
he attempts to return to his homeland.
Even after news of Mr Blair's crackdown on extremist clerics, Sheikh
Bakri Mohammed appeared on television claiming that he would never inform
the police if he knew that Muslims were planning another attack in
Britain. He also supported Muslims who attacked British troops in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Sheikh Bakri Mohammed claimed to have disbanded his al-Muhajiroun group
earlier this year, but his followers simply split into new
organisations with different names, while still allegedly taking their orders from
him. He had boasted at the weekend that he could "live with" being
deported.
His aides would not say last night when and how he had planned his
escape. They insisted that he was not scared of Mr Blair's new rules.
In the past, his website has boasted of sending British recruits to
fight in Afghanistan and other conflicts such as Kashmir, Bosnia and
Chechnya but stopped once anti-terror laws were brought in after the
September 11 attacks which could have seen him risk prosecution.
Many of his followers seemed suprised by his departure although Mr
Choudray, his closest confidant, said: "He is considering his Islamic
duties in Lebanon and he is looking to go on to one of the Emirate
countries. I think you should be hearing from him soon.
"He has nothing to come back for and cannot preach freely under the
regime in this country. He has never had a British passport and he was
always talking about going abroad. He has dual nationality, Syrian and
Lebanese, so has no need for British documents.
"He received his Lebanese passport last week and flew out of Heathrow
on Saturday. His wife and children are still here.
"He has two adult sons, who will look after the family. I don't know if
the family will join him."
"He is a scholar who is respected by people around the world. He will
be welcomed by Muslims who want to here him. I think he will be visiting
the UAE next month."
Mr Choudray said that Sheikh Bakri Mohammed had been "demonised for
many years" in Britain. He added: "It is an obligation on Muslims that, if
they cannot fulfil their Islamic duties in a certain place then they
need to . . . emigrate to a place where they can, where their lives and
their religion is protected."
Muslim leaders last night welcomed his departure. Sir Iqbal Sacranie,
the secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "There can
be a bit of a celebration. That is something which I think will bring a
bit of real joy and happiness to the community."
Simon Hughes, the Liberal Democrat legal affairs spokesman, said the
disappearance underlined the need to check people out of the country.
"The blunt public reaction will be 'thank goodness for that' from most
people," he said.
"There's a slightly more sophisticated reaction which is to say, given
that he did warn that he was going to go, doesn't that reinforce the
argument for making sure we check people out as well as check people in."
Amtrak Beefs Up Security in Northeast
Monday, August 08, 2005
Associated Press
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165086,00.html
NEW YORK -- Police forces along the East Coast are teaming up to
protect Amtrak trains traveling between New York and Washington.
It's the latest in a series of security measures begun since last
month's deadly London transit bombings.
Officials say they have no information about a specific threat against
the route, which is the most heavily traveled in the Amtrak system. But
a New York Police Department spokesman says recent security reviews
have raised concerns that a route involving "two high profile cities"
might be a target.
The increased security -- which starts today -- involves police
officers from New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington and other
jurisdictions.
A spokesman says officers will be on the lookout for suspicious
packages and activity on trains and tracks. The team effort also includes the
use of police helicopters and bomb-sniffing dogs
War Plans Drafted To Counter Terror Attacks in U.S.
Domestic Effort Is Big Shift for Military
By Bradley Graham
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, August 8, 2005; A01
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/07/AR2005080700843.html
COLORADO SPRINGS -- The U.S. military has devised its first-ever war
plans for guarding against and responding to terrorist attacks in the
United States, envisioning 15 potential crisis scenarios and anticipating
several simultaneous strikes around the country, according to officers
who drafted the plans.
The classified plans, developed here at Northern Command headquarters,
outline a variety of possible roles for quick-reaction forces estimated
at as many as 3,000 ground troops per attack, a number that could
easily grow depending on the extent of the damage and the abilities of
civilian response teams.
The possible scenarios range from "low end," relatively modest
crowd-control missions to "high-end," full-scale disaster management after
catastrophic attacks such as the release of a deadly biological agent or
the explosion of a radiological device, several officers said.
Some of the worst-case scenarios involve three attacks at the same
time, in keeping with a Pentagon directive earlier this year ordering
Northcom, as the command is called, to plan for multiple simultaneous
attacks.
The war plans represent a historic shift for the Pentagon, which has
been reluctant to become involved in domestic operations and is legally
constrained from engaging in law enforcement. Indeed, defense officials
continue to stress that they intend for the troops to play largely a
supporting role in homeland emergencies, bolstering police, firefighters
and other civilian response groups.
But the new plans provide for what several senior officers acknowledged
is the likelihood that the military will have to take charge in some
situations, especially when dealing with mass-casualty attacks that could
quickly overwhelm civilian resources.
"In my estimation, [in the event of] a biological, a chemical or
nuclear attack in any of the 50 states, the Department of Defense is best
positioned -- of the various eight federal agencies that would be involved
-- to take the lead," said Adm. Timothy J. Keating, the head of
Northcom, which coordinates military involvement in homeland security
operations.
The plans present the Pentagon with a clearer idea of the kinds and
numbers of troops and the training that may be required to build a more
credible homeland defense force. They come at a time when senior Pentagon
officials are engaged in an internal, year-long review of force levels
and weapons systems, attempting to balance the heightened requirements
of homeland defense against the heavy demands of overseas deployments
in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Keating expressed confidence that existing military assets are
sufficient to meet homeland security needs. Maj. Gen. Richard J. Rowe,
Northcom's chief operations officer, agreed, but he added that "stress points"
in some military capabilities probably would result if troops were
called on to deal with multiple homeland attacks.
Debate and Analysis
Several people on the staff here and at the Pentagon said in interviews
that the debate and analysis within the U.S. government regarding the
extent of the homeland threat and the resources necessary to guard
against it remain far from resolved.
The command's plans consist of two main documents. One, designated
CONPLAN 2002 and consisting of more than 1,000 pages, is said to be a sort
of umbrella document that draws together previously issued orders for
homeland missions and covers air, sea and land operations. It addresses
not only post-attack responses but also prevention and deterrence
actions aimed at intercepting threats before they reach the United States.
The other, identified as CONPLAN 0500, deals specifically with managing
the consequences of attacks represented by the 15 scenarios.
CONPLAN 2002 has passed a review by the Pentagon's Joint Staff and is
due to go soon to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and top aides for
further study and approval, the officers said. CONPLAN 0500 is still
undergoing final drafting here. (CONPLAN stands for "concept plan" and
tends to be an abbreviated version of an OPLAN, or "operations plan,"
which specifies forces and timelines for movement into a combat zone.)
The plans, like much else about Northcom, mark a new venture by a U.S.
military establishment still trying to find its comfort level with the
idea of a greater homeland defense role after the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks.
Military officers and civilian Pentagon policymakers say they
recognize, on one hand, that the armed forces have much to offer not only in
numbers of troops but also in experience managing crises and responding to
emergencies. On the other hand, they worry that too much involvement in
homeland missions would diminish the military's ability to deal with
threats abroad.
The Pentagon's new homeland defense strategy, issued in June,
emphasized in boldface type that "domestic security is primarily a civilian law
enforcement function." Still, it noted the possibility that ground
troops might be sent into action on U.S. soil to counter security threats
and deal with major emergencies.
"For the Pentagon to acknowledge that it would have to respond to
catastrophic attack and needs a plan was a big step," said James Carafano,
who follows homeland security issues for the Heritage Foundation, a
conservative Washington think tank.
William M. Arkin, a defense specialist who has reported on Northcom's
war planning, said the evolution of the Pentagon's thinking reflects the
recognition of an obvious gap in civilian resources.
Since Northcom's inception in October 2002, its headquarters staff has
grown to about 640 members, making it larger than the Southern Command,
which oversees operations in Latin America, but smaller than the
regional commands for Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific. A brief tour
late last month of Northcom's operations center at Peterson Air Force
Base found officers monitoring not only aircraft and ship traffic around
the United States but also the Discovery space shuttle mission, the
National Scout Jamboree in Virginia, several border surveillance
operations and a few forest firefighting efforts.
