Keep Gitmo open, close mosques instead

[...] FBI agents began coordinating the return to Minnesota of the remains of Shirwa Ahmed, the young man who blew himself up in Somalia a month earlier. His family buried him at a cemetery in Burnsville, south of Minneapolis. As for Burhan Hassan, his uncle Bihi asks, "How does a child who's been in the U.S. since he was 4 or 5 become convinced to leave his parents and go to war in Somalia?" A number of families across Minneapolis are wondering the same thing.

"How?", you ask? Wasn't he spending a lot of his time at the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center, Minneapolis's largest mosque?

This happens because the parents do not allow their children to assimilate into our culture. A culture that does not promote death to us Kafirs. I remember being four or five. I played in front of my parents house and got along with my friends. This guy did not live in a war torn part of the world, he went to a mosque in MN and now he is dead. What do you want to bet that his family considers him a martyr. Now they all have a place in paradise. This is in their hateful book.

Two more ex-Gitmo inmates return to jihad

This is one of the people that John Murtha was talking about when he said that the people in Club GITMO are not that dangerous. This wonderful person was released to the Saudi's and now he is back in Yemin.

This shouldn't surprise anyone, since nothing has been done over the years at Guantanamo to disabuse inmates of their beliefs about the responsibility of Muslims to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. The prevailing PC "Islam Is A Religion of Peace" line prevents that -- and makes for this recidivism. Indeed, the exaggerated respect that Guantanamo personnel have been directed to show towards the Qur'an -- handling it with gloves, etc. -- only reinforces the jihadist sentiments of the inmates, rather than win hearts and minds.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Two men released from the US "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.

One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.

Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333.

A Pentagon spokesman, Commander Jeffrey Gordon, on Saturday declined to confirm the SITE information.

"We remain concerned about ex-Guantanamo detainees who have re-affiliated with terrorist organizations after their departure," said Gordon.

"We will continue to work with the international community to mitigate the threat they pose," he said.

On the video, al-Shihri is seen sitting with three other men before a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq, the front for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

"By Allah, imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for," al-Shihri was quoted as saying....

We need to just kill everyone of these guys that we find on the battle field. Their woman and children should be killed too. They are just breading more and more of them.

Woman living in "Hamas stronghold" marries to raise "martyrs"

The latest form of jihad: Jihad al-Ziwaj, or "Marriage-Jihad"

GAZA CITY: There was no party, no celebrations when 22-year-old Aida al-Qaddumi finally got married this week.

There were no regrets either -- she said she was marrying to raise "fighters" and asked only that she might die as a "martyr" in Israel.

Three weeks of a deadly Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip forced postponement of the January 7 wedding, but it did not alter her intentions[...]

The Shujaiya quarter where she lives is a Hamas stronghold which came under heavy fire from Israelis troops. Dozens of people -- many of them civilians -- were killed and dozens of houses destroyed.

What a wonderful group of people. They not only teach their children to hate all Jews and want to die killing Jews, but these children grow up to say that they are getting married to produce more martyrs. Why did Israel not just kill them all? This is what is waiting for the Jews.

Israel Names Team to Defend Soldiers Against War-Crime Charges

Israel appointed a team of international-law experts led by the nation’s justice minister to defend its soldiers against any war-crime charges that may follow its 22-day battle against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“Officers and soldiers sent on the mission in Gaza must know that they are safe from various tribunals and that Israel will help and defend them just as they protected us with their bodies during the military operation,” Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in remarks before the weekly Cabinet meeting today.

Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and B’tselem, the Israeli Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, have said Israel should be investigated for possible war crimes after the military actions in Gaza, which killed more than 1,300 Palestinians.

The number is more like 700 animalstinians. This is war. The muslims want every Jew out of that part of the world.

During the offensive, Israel deployed lawyers to advise commanders on the front lines, dropped leaflets and made phone calls in steps intended to save civilian lives and avoid war- crime charges. Attorney General Menachem Mazuz said Jan. 11 that officials were preparing for a wave of international litigation following the offensive.

The government “will give its soldiers and officers full backing against any accusations from abroad and all self- flagellations from within,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak said at the Cabinet meeting, according to a statement from his office.

US-Saudi ties under threat: Saudi prince

The Saudis are the major funders of the global jihad against us non-muslims and we are supposed to worry about what they think of us? I am not going to be losing any sleep over their claims.

RIYADH (AFP) – The close relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia is under threat after Washington supported Israel's onslaught on the Gaza Strip, a senior Saudi prince warned on Saturday.

Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former top diplomat and intelligence chief, told CNN television that the US needs to change its tune and exert more pressure on Israel or face a deterioration in its relations with the Middle East.

He called Israel's three-week assault on Gaza, which Palestinians say killed more than 1,300 people in the densely populated enclave, "barbaric" and a "catastrophe."

The barbarians are the arab muslims in Gaza.

Prince Turki said the new US administration of President Barack Obama must also press Israel to accept an Arab peace plan or lose the Arab world's confidence.

"I think this is one of the issues that makes the relationship between the Arab world in general and Saudi Arabia in particular threatened when it comes to dealing with the United States," he said.

"The relationship that has kept America and the Arab world going for the last 17 years is in danger."

He said former president George W. Bush "callously and unforgivably gave Israel a green light to do everything that they wanted to do in Gaza without restraint."

He said he had hopes for Obama, but needed to see real steps on the ground, including Washington and Israel agreeing to negotiate with Hamas, the Islamist group which controls Gaza but which the US labels a terrorist organisation.

"We need to see facts on the ground change. We need to see rhetoric change. We need to see presence on the ground.

"President Obama can do something and gain the confidence and support of the Arab and Muslim nations by showing that he has done things on the ground and not simply expressed a wish for that."

I think we need to be drilling for our own oil here in the US. We have more than we need for fuel for many decades, but Obama will not drill. Why? Does anyone realize how many things are manufactured from oil? No they do not. Once we cut out the financial support of these jihad exporters in Saudi Arabia we will have a better chance of winning this global war on islamic supremism.
