PESHAWAR, Pakistan --As Maulawi Gul Rahman prepared for lunchtime prayers yesterday, he donned his ragged scholar's robe, stroked his tangled beard and pondered the question of what the effect of American military retaliation against Osama bin Laden would be.

"Muslims around the world, from north, south, east and west, would wage war against the United States," said the maulawi, a senior priest, who considers himself a moderate by the region's standards. "It would be holy war, our duty."

"Osama is our guest and in our history we have never given up a guest."

You know, these guys think they will go straight to heaven if they give their lives for the cause. I say, let's send 'em to "heaven." All of them.

Ashcanistan.

When a missle goes off outside of their terrorist camp, they'll go "Holy sh__! What was that!"

Yeah, yeah. Remember how damn invincible Saddam's Republican Guard were supposed to be? They fell apart like a cardboard suitcase.

Let's help get 'em up close and personal with Allah in Hell.

Thats right. A Holy War, the US and it's allies against the forces of darkness and evil and the Lord of battles is on our side.

What does it matter anyway? If we do nothing, the muslim terrorists will keep on killing more and more of us. We have no choice, it's kill or be killed!

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the wacko Islamic groups have had us under a holy war for decades. A jihad never ends until their opponent is defeated or destroyed. Are they are refering to the holy war they threatened after if we attacked Iraq that never happend? Isn't this threat like putting us on "double secret probation."

They don't sound ready to roll over.

Anyone who thinks invading Afganistan will be easy is an idiot. Ground combat is their national sport.

Spark a jihad? Really? What would that entail? Driving airplanes into large buildings and killing thousands of Americans? Garsh Mr. Wizard, we better not make 'em mad, they might do something nasty!

If that is so, then they truly are our enemy. If not, let them come forward and speak out so that we can accept their support. If the fundamentalists speak for all of the Muslims then they will remain silent and we will know.

""...will spark a holy war..." Good! Let's get it on!"

Some people have jumped the gun on this and are being called hate criminals.

Pick up a koran and find out what these people think of you.

This is the first week of a world war of annihilation.

And they don't need cruise missiles, their "weapons delivery systems" are already in the USA, smiling at you on the street while they build truck bombs in their garages.

And when that doesn't stop us, they will go to anthrax and plague.

And we may then go tactical nuclear.
