"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.

What people will do in the name of God is hard to fathom.

They don't do it in the name of God, they do it in the name of Allah.

Every mosque is an enemy base. Mecca and Medina are the fountainheads of their evil cult. As long as these things stand, this vermin will not go away.

Understood. I was raised respectful of the religion of Islam/Mohammed. I was also brought up to be somewhat proud but shameful of the Crusades as a dark period in the history of Catholicism.

Now I am questioning my core beliefs re: Islam.

The silence of the Mullah/Imans/Clerics is deafening.

Meanwhile, the cheering in the streets continues.

Precisely. There is a solution to this problem, but we do not dare speak (or write) the words. Not yet...not quite yet. But Sammy "the pig" bint laden is working overtime to dream up atrocities...and at some point, the shackles will come off and we can do what needs to be done.

(Big grin!)

And here is a good example in one picture of what you said.

Here is the 'hero's welcome' in Pakistan today of Kasi, the cold blooded (and executed) assassin of two of our fellow Americans as they sat in traffic in Virginia nine years ago just heading into their workplace.

Here is what islam thinks of America, and the red carpet rolled out for the terrorist carcasses of those we executed in justice, and the middle finger reserved for us.

To some extent this is encouraging as this is the second plot uncovered
Takes manpower and $$$ and time to hatch plots and each one that goes down is a plus for our side

allah is not "god" - islam is not a religion - islam is a philosophy, of hate and death.

"Peace and Love"? So tell me why the muslims around the world are not resoundingly condemning the actions of their brother islamics' terrorist actions! Their silence means they approve. This makes all muslims willing supporters of all action taken to destroy "infidels". This, in turn, leaves only one action to be taken by civilized people, world-wide, and that is eradication of islam. Islam is to civilization as smallpox is to humanity; both must be removed from the face of the earth.

A terrible line of thought, which I have somewhat oversimplified, but show me where I'm not fundamentally correct!

Stay vigilent, stay armed, and never trust a muslim (expecially if he's your neighbor)!!

Heck, why would Clinton want to stop them? He was killing Christians right here in the US too!

And I don't give a damn about their oil! If we have to do without, then so be it.

We wouldn't have to give their oil a second thought if the liberal dummycraps would get their heads out of their collective behind and pass the energy bill calling for drilling in Alaska!

WELL....WELL....WELL....what will our Liberal friends say now that Al Quaida has targeted the "CHILDREN?" Remember, they do EVERYTHING for THE CHILDREN, don't they? Let's just see how true their aims are.

If I hear ONE liberal decrying the War on Terrorism again, I swear.....hmmmmm....maybe it's time to send this little article to a bunch of liberals, who think we should just NEGOTIATE.....I'm PISSED! REALLY pissed, and I think a growing number of American's (and others) are getting to that point too....

Wonder what would happen if this had happened on our soil, here in the good ol' USA? I have a feeling there would be a few uncomfortable Islamics being followed, tracked, etc....by normal citizens. WE ARE AT WAR....in case you friggin' libs didn't know it.

Seconded.

These spineless coward pricks have no regard for human life...they have already targeted and killed our children, and they strap bombs on theirs. They slink around making their plans, and we are not going to be able to stop these attacks from happening unless we act now...NOW!!!

It's high time we stop being so PC and take these bastards out, right now, wherever they are.

I'm sorry, I forgot to be more understanding about their plight and hardships and that they have been instructed by birth to kill infidels, which includes myself and my children, and that they just need to understand our culture and everything will be O.K.
