"Worldwide, Islamic Fundamentalists Join the Fray"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Energized by the ongoing war between Israel and Hizbullah-controlled Lebanon, some Islamic fundamentalist groups claim to dispatch terrorists to Lebanon and to target Jews worldwide.
An Indonesian Muslim group announced Tuesday that it had sent 20 of its members to Lebanon in order to join the Jihad against the Jewish state. The claim, made by the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), was reported by the Associated Press, which warned that it had not been verified.
FPI spokesman Soleh Mahmoud said the 20 men left Indonesia five days ago and are now undergoing training in Lebanon under the supervision of Hizbullah. "They are ready to die to defend Muslims," Mahmoud said.
On Friday, before the FPI announced that it had already sent Muslim fighters to Lebanon, Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Desra Percaya said, "The government understands what they are feeling... anger, disappointment and frustration with Israeli troops acting inhumanly and brutally." He said that while the government could not stop people from joining the war in Lebanon, the seriousness of threats to do so is questionable: "If you want to do something, you want to travel, you do not need to declare it publicly, just say, 'In the name of God' and then go."
Last week, the Australian government announced that it was investigating a claim by another Indonesia-based Islamist group, the Asian Muslim Youth Movement (AMYM), that it had dispatched hundreds of Southeast Asian terrorist bombers to strike Jewish or infrastructure targets in countries such as Israel, the United States, Britain and Australia. A leader of the AMYM, Suaib Bidu, told The Australian newspaper that 217 suicide bombers - financed by wealthy Australian-Indonesian businessmen - had already been dispatched to their target countries, with thousands more prepared to set out. According to the report, more than 3,000 terrorists were to have been inducted on Saturday in the Indonesian city of Pontianak on Kalimantan island."
Inside the Mind of President Ahmadinejad of Iran
There's "irrational" as in "crazy like a fox" and there's "irrational" as in "out of touch with reality." President Ahmadinejad of Iran has said a lot of things lately that have been difficult to explain. Let's have a look at them and consider what possible explanations there are for these statements.
He has stated that the Holocaust never happened, that Israel should be wiped off the map, that he considers Islam at war with the West, and that he believes that due to Iran's importance to the world supply of oil, the West won't dare to oppose Iran in any matter. We'll go through them and then add one more at the end of this post.
