The Islemmings seriously need to ponder whether they want to be praying to a smoking crater after we vaporize their black moon-god ka'aba rock.
Too bad for them they are too stupid to see how this will end.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - A statement attributed to al-Qaida threatened more attacks in New York and Washington unless America stops supporting Israel and converts to Islam, an Arab TV reporter who received the unsigned document said Saturday.
Yosri Fouda, correspondent for the satellite station Al-Jazeera, told The Associated Press he received the six-page document on Wednesday. That was a day after the TV station broadcast an audiotape purportedly made by Osama bin Laden (news - web sites).
Fouda, who is known for good contacts within al-Qaida, would only say that the statement came from his sources with the group. But he insisted he was certain it came from the terrorist movement's leadership.
Fouda, speaking by telephone from London, said the statement called on Americans to stop supporting Israel and other governments that "oppress" Muslims or face more attacks. The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam, he said.
Fouda quoted the statement as saying: "Stop your support for Israel against the Palestinians, for Russians against the Chechens ... for corrupt leaders in our countries ... (and) leave us alone or expect us in Washington and New York."
He added the statement demanded U.S. troops leave the Arabian Peninsula, and justified the killings of American civilians because they pay taxes that finance military operations.
There was no immediate reaction from Washington. No officials were available for comment at the Pentagon (news - web sites) or the National Security Council Saturday afternoon. A report on the statement as described by Fouda was carried in The Sunday Times of London.
Fouda is a prominent Arab television journalist who has broken several important stories about al-Qaida. In September, Al-Jazeera broadcast Fouda's interviews with two top al-Qaida operatives hiding in Pakistan, Ramzi Binalshibh and Khaled Sheik Mohammed.
Binalshibh was arrested in Karachi, Pakistan, shortly after the broadcast and was transferred to U.S. custody.
Fouda said the statement also referred to the crisis between the United States and Iraq as one more reason to attack Americans.
"You are placing Muslims under siege in Iraq, where children die every day. Oh, how weird that you don't care for 1.5 million Iraqi children who died under siege, but when 3,000 of your compatriots died, the whole world was shaken," Fouda quoted the statement as saying.
Meanwhile, a militant Islamic Web site that carries news about al-Qaida has dismissed as lies a report that a senior member of the terror group is in U.S. custody.
U.S. officials in Washington said Friday that one of the leaders of al-Qaida had been detained in a foreign country and handed over to U.S. authorities.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to identify the detainee, but said he was not al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, his chief depity, his son or the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The site scoffed at the U.S. officials' refusal to name the detainee. "Maybe they fear to announce a certain name, and al-Qaida would issue a denial so their (the U.S.) situation would become worse," it said.

Exactly what I say. I no longer work downtown I work 3 blocks from Grand Central and come in there everyday. If they decide to do that during rush hour all hell will break loose. What would be a real horror is if they do the stock exchange, Grand Central and Penn Station at the same time.
Maybe this is why we are hearing all these blustering threats right now.
WOW!!!!!
When and I mean when will the sleepy ones wake up to the fact that all this terror has nothing to do with the how we treat arabs, the distribution of wealth or just our support of Israel? We must include the Osama apologists in the list of our enemies to spare ourselves and our children.
I agree.. They are *pissed*..They haven't made a big statement in awhile. These guys aren't to be toyed with. A lot of people seem to have a false sense of security.
They do not know who they f*$k with.
Look, Al Qaeda lives in a fanatical fantasy world of the Faithful and the kufirs. Now combine this with a view of the United States that has gained a lot of currency in the Arab world in the past ten years:
Arab intellectuals, as well as the Arab man-in-the-street, have been looking for a surefire way to excise the Zionist Cancer from their midst. Naturally, you get at the Zionists by crippling their "patron", America.
Arab intellectuals came to believe that America was decadent and ready to collapse, like overripe fruit from a tree. Once America is dealt with, the Arab Nation can eliminate the Zionists at their leasure.
A people descended from raiders would tend to think this way, not counting nor thinking of the ability of the West to fall back on its Greco-Roman military heritage of drill, organization, and warfare to annihilation.
The important thing to understand about these people is that they think we will react to misfortune the same way that they would, with resignation and a deep sense of shame. It is their most fatal miscalculation.
It is the same miscalculation that the Japanese and Hitler made. They did not bank on America's will to survive.
If what is coming to a close is the Phony War, what is about to begin is a battle for civilization in earnest. If one has to choose between Western Christendom and its Hellenic and Biblical roots and Islam, you won't lose any money by putting your chips heavily on the West.
These people do not understand us. They have no idea of the savagery of which we are capable: organized butchery on a massive scale, all done with the rigor, thoroughness, and lockstep organization of a crack Marian Legion.
The following picture gives a good illustration of who we are, when you strip away the political correctness and the baleful effects of 20th Century Social Democracy. When we have to fight for our survival, we can be just like these wonderful guys pictured below...
A lot of Freepers on this board underestimate the American people. It is a hobby of all too many here.
Never underestimate the American when the survival of his country and his family is at stake. That is the mistake the Islamists are making.
I strongly suspect that it is a miscalculation that will lead to the deaths of untold numbers of Muslims.
Be Seeing You,

What is not known is WHEN and HOW! [Unless you punch your own ticket!]
Yassa, massa Osamer, jus as you sa, Iz cunvurtn. Convurtn to kick yoo a$$.
Israel has between 300 and 400 nukes, depending on which source you read. If the Arabs even attempt to "eliminate" them, every last one of them will be vaporized within seconds. ...And I'm fairly certain the Arab "intellectuals" - an oxymoron if there ever was one - know this all too well.
True colors.
They need to understand that the name they pray to offers things that to us only an ungodly character would offer-rewards for killing, rewards in the form of sexual favors, etc. Their heaven to us, is not a heaven, hardly.
I guess it all gets down to the nature of God. The nature of the extremists object of worship-offers such mundane things. I suspect this name the extremists worship was designed by some very manipulative people who knew how to bribe the most desparate among them-what God spreads hate of human beings instead of hatred of wicked behavior?
