BROAD STRATA OF COMMUNITY SUFFER HIGH DEATH RATE
Jihadis are becoming jihasbeens:
They rose up quickly to take up Osama bin Laden’s call for jihad, ruthless men in their 20s and 30s heralded as the next generation of global terror. Two years later, 40 percent are dead, targets of a worldwide crackdown that claimed its biggest victory with the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida’s front man in Iraq.
Manhunts in Asia, Africa and Europe have pushed most of the rest deep underground — finding refuge in wartorn Somalia or the jungles of the southern Philippines. While there are still recruits ready to take up al-Qaida’s call to arms, analysts say the newcomers have fewer connections than the men they are replacing, less training and sparser resources.
Al-Zarqawi, Nabil Sahraoui, Habib Akdas, Abdulaziz al-Moqrin, Abdelkrim Mejjati: all dead. (The latter, shot by Saudi forces last year, is an interesting case: “Mejjati came from a privileged background, attending an exclusive French school in Morocco before turning to terrorism.” Haven’t heard much lately about “poverty breeding terrorism”, have we?) Syrian Loa’i Mohammad Haj Bakr al-Saqa is in a Turkish prison. And the progress continues:
The US military has intensified its offensive against al-Qaida in Iraq, staging 38 more raids based on information uncovered during the hunt that led to the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in an air strike.
The fresh raids came as al-Qaida issued urgent appeals for money and volunteers to fight American forces, after al-Zarqawi’s death left it without a clearly recognised leader.
Step up to the plate, Big Chief Abdullah:
Abdullah bin Rashid al-Baghdadi, the Shura Council’s head, who has been named as one of the figures likely to take over Zarqawi’s role as the symbolic leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, vowed to continue the fight.
‘Iraq is the front line of defence for Islam and Muslims, so don’t fail to follow the path of the mujahideen, the caravan of martyrs and the faithful,’ Baghdadi told militants. He then vowed, ‘as for you, the slaves of the Cross [coalition forces], the grandsons of Ibn al-Alqami [Shias] and every infidel of the Sunnis, we can’t wait to sever your necks with our swords’.
Sunnis, Shias, and “slaves of the Cross”; ol’ Abdullah sure aims to get through a lot of necks. Better have him killed.
I’m finding it hard to be scared by a bloke called ‘Abdullah’ -
It’s like, ‘I’m Abdullah, boogah boogah!’.... lame lame lame!
Now if his name was ‘Frank’.Posted by Islam/cancer-Chuck Norris/answer on 2006 06 11 at 06:08 AM • permalinkAl-Baghdadi sounds like a comedy villain, complete with standard bad-guy curly mustache. I can see him now, tying Penelope to the train tracks and rubbing his hands together ( cue dramatic piano music).

Im more minded of an episode of Blackadder where hes trying to cover up his “homosexuality”, by consulting a witch.Witch: “you have only 3 choices if you wish this to remain a secret”
Blackadder: “And they are?”
Witch: “Kill bob!”
Blackadder: “Never!!”
Witch: “Kill yourself”
Blackadder: “I think not”
Witch: “Then there is only one choice remaining to you”
Blackadder: “and that is…?”
Witch “KILL EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD hahahahaha!!!!”Stick her in a turban and I think youve covered the jihadi mindset pretty well.

We have a gold picture frame waiting for you.Posted by perfectsense on 2006 06 11 at 08:08 AM • permalinkAbdullah of Baghdad, son of Rashid.
I do believe that some friends of mine have your measure, and that of your barbarian fellow travellers. Who knows? If my cards fall as I wish them to, I might be able to help them out a little bit when it comes to dealing with you.
There are those in my line who did their bit in dealing with Napoleon’s armies, the Kaiser’s armies, and the dark hordes of Hitler and Imperial Japan. I will do no less, given the chance.
Do you really think you even come close to their measure?
We crushed them. You we have barely begun to notice yet: when we do, you are doomed.
For Harry, Perce, Max, and the men of the 107th.

This would be the Arabic version of the punch-drunk boxer who gets up and starts ducking and weaving: “Ha, that didn’t hurt! You wanna piece o’ dis? Come n’ get me!” Only he doesn’t realize he’s facing the wrong way.
RebeccaH — I think that power struggle would follow the Palestinian Rule: “You head al-Qaeda!” “No, you head al-Qaeda!” “No, you head — STOP PUSHING!”

Gotta love how the Jordanians stepped up to the plate. We need more of this. It’s said King Abdullah was royally pissed off when Zarkman ordered a hit on him and his family. It’s good to be the king.

You’ve got to be kidding.
What we’ve got is Chihuahuas. Nasty, noisy, yappy creatures that can never decide whether to bite your leg or hump it, but are doted on by their adoring (usually rich) owners.
These are people who start out by disposing of half their potential work force, detail a quarter of the remainder to seeing to it that those conditions are maintained, then expect the world to support them. If they hadn’t had the dumb luck to be sitting on a lake of antique dinosaur poo, they’d still be living in mud huts and slitting one anothers’ throats. Uh, wait a minute…
Just getting rid of the parasitism would be worth a lot. Migawd, the useless jerkoffs can’t even make their own explosives to blow themselves up with—they have to depend on the Eastern Europeans and Iranians for that. I’d have a Hell of a lot more respect for them if the AK-47s they were waving were made by somebody with Arab relatives, no matter how remote. As it is, the moonbats are right in one excruciatingly trivial manner: we don’t need to be overreacting. Of course, running a full-scale war-and-rebuilding effort on budget fat and beaurocratic empire-building hardly counts as “overreaction”, now does it?
Regards,
RicFor an insight into demonic murderers’ natures, read Yung Chang’s ‘Mao, the Untold Story’.
Mao also was not from a poor family, rarely took any interest in peasants except to exploit them politically, disliked manual labour intensely, was a self-taught intellectual, was attracted to violence and cultural vandalism early on, and had a superiority complex that believed he should create his own morals to suit himself.
Not the picture we got from the 60-70s academic revolutionary Maoists, is it?

Hamas Murders Children in Gaza, Blames Israel
As we saw with the Muhammad Al-Dura affair and many other incidents, the Palestinian propaganda machine is sophisticated—and abetted by the Leftist dhimmi Western media.
“Hamas Murders Children in Palestine, Blames Israel,” from the Israel News Agency:
Jerusalem——-June 11…....An Israel Defense Forces intelligence officer has confirmed that the explosion that killed eight Palestinians on Friday, was caused by a stockpile of Hamas explosives.
“Shortly after we stopped defensive firing at Hamas rocket launch pads which were deployed behind Palestinian human shields, members of Hamas scrambled to fire more rockets at our positions,” said Col. M. “We have eyes on every meter of Gaza, from the sky, from the ground and from the sea. One of their rocket tripods collapsed inadvertently setting off an explosion of a stockpile of Qassam rockets. The Palestinians killed their own children. And this was not the first time.”
Hamas terrorists fired rockets and mortar bombs from a crowded Gaza beach at southern Israel. Some of the rockets fell near the Israel city of Ashkelon. Some 17 rockets were fired between Saturday and Sunday morning. A man at a school in the Israel town of Sderot was wounded, Israel officials said.
Israel Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant said today that the Israel Defense Forces has additional evidence that it wasn’t Israel artillery that hit the beach in Gaza. Galant, who commands Israel’s southern command, said Israel stopped firing 15 minutes before the explosion. It’s all on secure videotape from both sides of the conflict. Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he was sorry about the deaths, which included three children.
