"New Terror Threat (to American children) in Indonesia"

The Al Qaeda-linked network that carried out the October 12 nightclub bombings on Indonesia's resort island of Bali is planning to strike international schools in Jakarta, Indonesia, The New York Times reported on Monday, citing Western and Indonesian officials.

The plan to attack Western students at the schools was uncovered in the last few days, and officials said the schools would be closed until at least Wednesday, the Times said in its online edition.

Officials declined to say precisely how they had learned of the plot, but the United States and Australia have stepped up intelligence gathering in Indonesia since the Bali attack, which killed more than 180 people, including many Australians, the newspaper said.

Based on information from Western intelligence agencies, diplomats said the planned attack was directed primarily at the Jakarta International School, (http://www.jisedu.org/) which has 2,500 students, about a third of whom are Americans, the paper said.

Diplomats told the Times the Australian and British schools also plan to close, the report said.

They are to remain closed until Indonesian police provide adequate security, one diplomat told the newspaper.

The plotters are thought to be a cell within the Al Qaeda network of Muslim extremists that has carried out several terrorist actions in Indonesia, and nearly succeeded in blowing up the American, Australian, British and Israeli embassies in Singapore last December, officials told the newspaper.

These are the same Muslims that DEMAND extra prayer time and special dietary considerations for their kids in American schools, while plotting the MURDER of American kids around the world.

Yes, they are that stupid to do that. This is their mindset which is almost infathomable.

Since they are the lowest of low scum, and have a moral compass of an aligator, it is very difficult for cultured, civilized Westerners in intelligence, who may even be world savvy, to get into their mindset, for it is often too low and inhumane to be able to relate to-- in order to anticipate next moves and combat.

This is the problem in dealing with barbarians.

It is extremely difficult for me to wrap my mind around the idea of killing every member of one of the world's largest religions and then patting myself on the back saying "job well done".

You don't have to feel good about it. It's war. We must destroy our enemies. Muslims are the enemy. Ultimately, the world will be a better place.

Just don't think about it. do it.

For those of you who think that nuking mecca is a good idea, what exactly do you think that would do? Do you think that the islamic zealots would be more or less likely to try and destroy the US if their holy land was destroyed? Do you think that the rest of the arab world would be more or less likely to sponser terrorism on a global scale or possibly even declare all out war? Look at it this way, if someone nuked DC or any US city for that matter, would we turn around and run with our tail between our legs? I think not. If Iraq attacks israel with WMD, id say nuke baghdad to hell. If saudi arabia did the same, id say the same. If Islam itself, ie the entire arab world declared war on the US, then nuke each and everyone of them. But in reality, by a pre-emptive strike on mecca we would be signing our own death warrant.

Ask yourself one question....which religion in the world appreciates the mass killing of children? Can you name one? OK, use the past 300 years of world history...can you name any particuliar religion that openly targeted children?

Being a bit intelligent...and understanding just a little of the Koran...there are words written in it...saying in effect to appreciate and care for children. Basically....these baboons (the only word to describe a sub-species of humans) have come to some thought process that goes beyond anything that Muslims ever were taught. I would think that the entire Muslim population which have to now rise up against these idiots and simply wipe them off the face of the earth.

These idiots have simply lost touch with reality and their supporters (sitting back in rich Saudi)...better wake up and realize the implication. A mass killing of 800 kids would basically invite open slaughter of the Muslim population. The Saudis need to view the situation correctly....and terminate all of these individuals.

What idiots! The surest way to lose any sympathy for their cause would be to target schools.

If the funeral procession in Pakistan is any indication then, we're not dealing with a "Criminal Element" within Islam. We're dealing with ISLAM.

Do you know the name of one of the books that came out last year detailing the history of Islam from it's beginning? This particular book detailed the various atrocities committed in Europe, in particular, by Muslims.

I've looked on Amazon, and there are so many there, I can't find that particular book. My reason for asking is that my son is doing his last paper in college on terrorism. I don't have to mention that he's come across some writing by apologists for Islam.

I seem to remember that this book had a red bookjacket.

Maybe I'm just a flamming bigot, but I only see Islam as a venue for the ultimate in selfishness. If there is any humanity in murdering non-believers it is explained in their holy book.

The only resemblance to other cultures of the human family resides with re-education of the children of your enemies. Bringing a new generation indoctrinated as needed.

But, the Islamic answer to this is "murder the non-believers", indoctrination, re-education - all unnecessary. Kill everything and everyone is their only answer.

We have our own answer to that. But do we have the stomach to survive? History sez, YES. We've done it before, centuries ago. We need to do it again.

Or head out to the nearest "burkaMart".

I used to have a liberal friend....she often used the phrase "blame the victim" & how terrible that was & how society did that so often..

You should have asked, "Who is this Society guy, and how can we stop him from blaming the victim?"

Don't you think that that is the same way they are thinking? "America is our enemy, therefore we must destroy every one of them in order for us (muslims) to survive. Every man, woman and child must be killed so that the world will be better in the eyes of allah."

A fight to the death of one of us, a fight that neither side can ever win.

Yes. That's exactly what they're thinking. And that's why we should adopt that mentality.

I think our side can win. We (because of people like you) simply lack the stomach for it.

America didn't seek this fight. America hasn't systematically targeted Muslims. It was they who chose this war.

Now we must destroy them.

In my post that you originally responded to, I suggested that it would be better for us to use precision targeting, rather than nuclear holocaust that turns the entire desert into glass. I guess that is where we differ.

The problem with us "winning" is that the muslims are spread throughout the world. Yes, we can "nuke mecca" and destroy a small bit of their population, but it doesn't remove the mosque just across town from you. Nor does it do anything to hinder the little cell that might be in my town. In fact, it might incite them to do more.

This war, as you know, is and will be unlike any other that has been fought. To borrow a phrase, when there are defined borders, language, and culture you have a nation, one that can be fought and rendered harmless. The muslims have nothing of the kind, they are mixed through-out the world in every society and culture, they claim to be American, English, French, Iraqi and every other nationality you could mention.

So when we start "killing every one of the muslims" do you think we should just transgress the borders of the countries of the world to kill every one of them we can find? Or would it be better to have our allies round them all up, put them on trains and send them out to holding camps until a final solution can be obtained? You are talking about millions of people here, and there is really no way we could kill them all.

To rid the world of terrorism or to grab all of its oil/redraw Middle East boarders under the pretext of terrorism?

I see the propaganda hooked you nicely. I bet you believed the Iraqi soldiers trashing incubators story too.

I must be hooked on propaganda. I'm unaware of Iraqi soldiers attacking a hospital nursery. I am aware of Iraqi attacks on Kuwait, Jordan, and Iran. I am aware of gas attacks on Iraqi kurdish villages and have seen the photo's of the bodies in those villages. I am also aware that the Islamic led communities have ignored these travesties, and have supported suicide bombers that target children. Let's not mention the Muslims in Bali that killed 800, the Muslims in the USSR that tried to kill 700 theater goers, these animals that cheered as US citizens were murdered. These people call murders of children and terrorists 'heroes'. They consider slavery and abusing women a 'cultural tradition'. So, either I'm taken in by propaganda, or you are simply deluding yourself by considering these adversaries as having any shred of humanity in their makeup.
