Osama bin Laden is to give another televised address to the world.
The al-Qaeda leader is to deliver a hate-filled video on July 4, American Independence Day.
The announcement was made on the Arabic Sahab website which issues daily information on the war in Afghanistan.
Bin Laden was pictured on the site, kneeling between two al-Qaeda officials.
His spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith says: "America should get ready and fasten its safety belt.
"We will come to them from where they don't expect. Yes, we will wage attacks but at the right time, at the place we want, in the way we please."
On Friday the FBI were taking seriously a Lebanese-born man's claims to have overheard a mobile phone conversation in Arabic about an attack on Las Vegas.
But yesterday they said they had no evidence of any threat on July 4.
According to Michael Hamdan, the speakers said: ``"We are here in the city of corruption...the city of gambling and prostitution, the city of the unbelievers.
The warlord, who was behind the September 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has not been heard from since he was detected on December 11 at his eastern Afghan hideout in Tora Bora.
American intelligence sources believe he is surrounded by al-Qaeda's high command either in Afghanistan or Pakistan. The FBI has also been tracing another website, alneda. com, the mouthpiece for al-Qaeda.
The site has audio and video clips of bin Laden and photographs of al-Qaeda suspects in detention in Pakistan.
There also appear to be coded messages for followers to transmit instructions for attacks.
It has been closed down twice by US intelligence forces after appearing in Malaysia and Texas.
Earlier this month the site posted a message of condolence from terrorist and Taliban chief Mullar Mohammed Omar after the death of a Pakistan scholar.
It was revealed yesterday that the man believed to have recruited September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta to al-Qaeda was investigated in 1999.
Mohammed Haydar Zammar, 41, attracted the attention of German intelligence after making contact with bin Laden's suspected financial chief.
Zammar was arrested in Morocco this week along with other suspected al- Qaeda members, including Abu Zubair al-Haili.
Al-Haili is thought to have been pivotal in training hijackers for September 11.
NP...unfortunately, a_Turk, having suffered a humiliating defeat in the argument, has gone off to disrupt another thread.
A Comprehensive Commentary on the QuranWait! I'll run to Iran and get a comprehensive commentary on the Bible. It'll be chock full of truths to post here for all to "lurn."
For whatever reason, perhaps in reaction to the 'nuke 'em all' crowd, you chose to turn a warning of more operations to come into a thread about religious dogma.
If it's the nuke 'em all crowd that is getting on your nerves...my advice is to ignore them. I learned that after several protracted flame wars.
We very much need thoughtful input from representatives of Islam. Which, by your posts elsewhere, you seem more than capable of. Defensiveness is counterproductive.
You must remember that poor ol' a turk is not up on Christianity... he knows only islam and moohamed and their ERRONEOUS interpretation of CHRISTIANITY!!!
Excellent comparison Dog.
The "nuke Mecca" crowd is just trying to show they represent a "peaceful religion."
Mecca is not a military or industrial target so would be a waste of an expensive nuke.
I have no objections to using them on appropriate targets.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband..............
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death............
Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Rev 21:26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Might as well worship the sun and moon while they still can.
nmh said: Funny how sex is usually a component of many false religions.
Jhn 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Jhn 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
Jhn 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jhn 8:45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
Theory has it that this goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, when Satan seduced Adam and Eve. Cain and Able were fraternal twins, Adam being the father of Able, and Satan being the father of Cain....it happens ("mark" is used for the first time in the Bible after this). Note in Genesis 5, the generations of Adam start with Seth and do not include Cain. Cain's generations are listed apart from Adam. Please note, however, that we all have the seed of Eve, as well, and the Kingdom of God is open to all who accept Jesus Christ as savior. You're right; sex (particularly illicit or perverse) is connected with false religions. Start with Genesis 4: http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/popup/1024878596.html
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Mat 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Luk 9:5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Act 13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/words/1024882181.html
Bin-Laden may not fear the US Government but mess with the Mob and he'll learn real fear... LOL!
Could the country survive without Wayne Newton? How dastardly that al-Qaeda is!!
We now return to the actual topic under discussion.
Less one old Ottoman fortress this year.
Okay, anything in the last 100 years?
I just wanted to add another comment on sex and false religions. It's better if I let God do the talking:
1Tim.4:1-5
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
[2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
[3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
[4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
[5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
I'll let you think about that one ... Needless to say homosexuality is a NO-NO too. I won't bother quoting on that one.
I suspect you and I could have a pleasant dialogue just using God's Word. It's an aide to me in determining false religions and what to expect here and later.
