al-Qaeda must be insane to attack the World Cup in South Africa this year.

Not only will they have to deal with unprecedented levels of security, but also deal with the fact soccer is HUGELY popular in the Middle East. Attacking a World Cup venue will not win friends among Arabs among the Persian Gulf, that's to be sure.

“Moderate Muslim head of UK TV channel held on terror claims”

“U.K. Islamic TV head held on terror claims,” from UPI, January 26 (thanks to Block Ness):

SNIPPET: “PRETORIA, South Africa, Jan. 26 (UPI) — The head of Britain’s popular Muslim television station was arrested in South Africa and faces deportation to Tunisia on terrorism claims, officials said.

Mohamed Ali Harrath, the force behind Britain’s Islam Channel, was arrested Sunday in what some said was a security clampdown in South Africa in the months leading up to the 2010 World Cup soccer championship, The Times of London reported Tuesday.”

........when the sound of an explosion rumbles through the stands, the whole stadium is turned upside down and the number of dead bodies are in their dozens and hundreds, Allah willing.......

Make no mistake. This is the true face of islam.
There are no "moderate" muslims.
There are only muslims who haven't killed infidels......
yet......

“Longing to Paradise” eh?

Is there a way to send them there a bit earlier than planned?

"and the number of dead bodies are in their dozens and hundreds, Allah willing."

Islam is a religion of peace.

[lightman]

So there is a “Zionist-Crusader campaign against Islam”?

COUNT ME IN!

[dr_who]

Gee, Pelosi or Obama must be helping them with their strategy. Are they trying to make the most fundamentalist wackos in their ranks happy or are they trying to appeal to the youth element all over the world that passionately hates the World Cup? I suppose they could win some converts if they blew up team USA, but how is that different from what they've been doing since the 90's? Bizarre even for terrorists.

US versus Britain? There won’t be any team called ‘Britain’ at the match. The muzzie loons can’t even get that bit right.

Travel Alert
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Print
South Africa

May 25, 2010

The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in South Africa to safety and security issues related to the FIFA World Cup taking place in nine cities across the country from June 11 to July 11, 2010. This travel alert expires July 31, 2010. Full information about the World Cup for American visitors is available on the U.S. Mission to South Africa’s dedicated World Cup website.

TERRORISM: Large-scale public events like the World Cup may present a wide range of attractive targets for terrorists. There is a heightened risk that extremist groups will conduct terrorist acts within South Africa in the near future. While a number of terrorist threats against the World Cup in South Africa have appeared in the media in recent weeks and months, the U.S. Government has no information on any specific, credible threat of attack that any individual or group is planning to coincide with the tournament. In the event the U.S. Government receives information of any specific and credible threat, the Department of State will provide information on that threat to the public immediately through an updated Travel Alert or Travel Warning. All USC citizens in or traveling to South Africa are urged to register with the U.S. Mission to South Africa in order to receive these alerts as quickly as possible.

CRIME: The vast majority of visitors complete their travels in South Africa without problems; however, visitors should be aware that criminal activity, including violent crime, is prevalent throughout the country. Be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times, looking out for your own personal security. While driving, keep doors locked and windows closed, avoid having purses, phones, bags and luggage in plain view, and when stopping at intersections at night or in isolated locations, leave enough space in front of your vehicle for a quick exit. Be wary of street vendors at traffic lights, planted obstacles and staged “accidents” that may be traps for unsuspecting motorists. Do not stop for cars with flashing lights unless they are clearly marked as police or emergency service vehicles. Park your car in secure, gated parking lots or garages wherever possible, and do not leave bags or valuables in plain view. Travellers to South Africa should avoid carrying or displaying expensive items or wearing eye-catching jewelry, stay in a group, and avoid walking at night. Keep a photocopy of your passport with you, leaving the original in a hotel safe or other secure location. Lost or stolen passports should be reported to the local police and nearest U.S. Consulate.

PUBLIC DISTURBANCES: Organized or wildcat labor actions and protests in poorer communities against shortfalls in public services may occur during the World Cup. While localized and normally well away from typical tourist destinations, these disturbances can develop quickly and unpredictably, sometimes turning violent. Use caution and avoid any areas where protests, demonstrations or other public disturbances are taking place.
