Casey, are you of the opinion that chatter is down these past few days?

[Casey]

Casey, are you of the opinion that chatter is down these past few days?
I suppose.

There is a media blitz (e-jihad) on currently. Videos, pic's.

I dont' follow the videos of the attacks, I view them as propaganda tools.

The sites are in a disarray again, with a brand new one looking like it was attacked within a matter of days of going up. And forums moving.

News was slow coming out this morning.

But yes, in general, chatter is down.

[Casey]

yes, quiet and Americans at Saudi compound in Sierra Village, in Saudi Arabia have been put on alert.

See Warnings forum.

[SMOKEY]

Thanks, Casey. Your assessment is appreciated.

So, 2 years in Iraq.

I kind of stepped back today and have been reflecting the whole period.

Interestingly enough, I recall being asked why the Iraq thread (http://www.afghanistanwar.com/showthread.php?t=5361&page=79&pp=15)was started in alneda, at the onset in Iraq. The answer to that question has been more than answered.

My gut tells me that another, if not larger wave of terrorist attacks are on their way, in Iraq and throughout the Middle East and probably Europe. Oh, and the Philippines, but that's another story.

The message content has certainly changed in the past few weeks. I see a lot of recruiting, a lot of glorifying the situation, the insistence that it is ones duty to participate. There is even a message or two that may have been activation for cells, just suspicious in nature and vague in content.

So, we see Hezbollah planting the political seeds but wanting to keep their military wing, can we imagine that for al Qaeda?

Suicide Bombing Shatters Bush's Faith-Based Bubble
by Kurt Nimmo
www.dissidentvoice.org
June 21, 2005

Somebody, please, send Robert Pape's book to Bush. Pape, the director of the Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism at the University of Chicago, has arrived at a conclusion Bush needs to understand, although it is contrary to what he believes, or what he tells us he believes. "Suicide bombings are part of a conscious strategy that has a record of success in other places. Suicide bombing has gained adherents not because so many fanatics are looking for an excuse to throw away their lives, but because it works," is how Steve Chapman, writing for the Baltimore Sun, summarizes Pape's research.

Bush seems to believe that if the corporate media ignores suicide bombing, the suicide bombers will go away because, after all, the act is simply a demented craving for media attention. "A conservative columnist for The New York Times has suggested that the media simply cease coverage of suicide bombings," writes Joe Conason for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "It was a strange proposal from someone working at one of the world's most important news organizations, but one that aptly reflected current attitudes in the White House, the Defense Department and much of official Washington.... Both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney evidently believe their own uplifting rhetoric and brusque dismissals of criticism. They won't let reality-based analysis intrude on their faith-based perspective."

Of course, Bush's "faith-based perspective" and refusal to face the music in Iraq will lead to more suicide bombings and more unnecessary death. "From Hezbollah in Lebanon to Hamas on the West Bank to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka," writes Pape in his book, Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism, "every group mounting a suicide campaign over the past two decades has had as a major objective -- or as its central objective -- coercing a foreign state that has military forces in what the terrorists see as their homeland to take those forces out."

Pape's well-reasoned and methodical conclusion, based on research spanning more than two decades, will naturally be dismissed out of hand by the neocons, who have a vested interest in portraying suicide bombers as crazed Islamic fundies with no regard for human life, including their own.

For the Islamophobe Daniel Pipes, the advent of suicide bombing in the Muslim world reveals a flaw in the Arab and Muslim character, a flaw exploited by "a state-run ideology" (according to Pipes' fellow neocon traveler, the Israeli Meyrav Wurmser of the Hudson Institute), be that ideology Palestinian or Iraqi. "Why does this indoctrination work and why do Palestinian families enthusiastically send their children to die? What pressure could overcome the human instinct to protect one's beloved?" muses Pipes, already convinced of his biased and self-serving conclusion. "That pressure is not hard to locate, for it pervades Middle Eastern life. It is an unrelenting, compulsive preoccupation with family honor. The power of this obligation goes far beyond anything Westerners encounter." Certainly, revenge is an integral part of the mix, but for Pipes it ends there, little more than a deviant quirk of a degenerate Arab psychology minus any extenuating circumstances. "Combined, the monstrous social environment created by the PA and the families' preoccupation with social status goes far to explain why Palestinians glory in the destruction of their youth." Of course, IDF soldiers killing grade school kids and forcing Palestinians to drink their own urine has nothing to do with it. Israel's destruction of the social and political infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza has nothing to do with it. All blame is conveniently siphoned off and directed toward the Palestinian Authority, a joke when you consider the PA is more or less hamstrung and in fact encouraged to act as a corrupt and self-serving criminal operation (under the terms of Oslo, dominated by the Israelis).

Robert Fulford, writing for the National Post, compares suicide bombing to sexual abuse. "The cult of death spreading among Palestinians remains mysterious to much of the world outside the Middle East, and no doubt to many Arabs as well. As a pathology that threatens world peace, it needs investigation by the UN. Palestinians drive their children mad with rage, send them off to die, then celebrate. The comparison with sexual abuse is impossible to avoid. We now know that adolescents and young adults around the world have suffered terribly from sexual abuse; but as a crime, is that as vile as persuading young people to kill themselves and others for politics?" In short, since the sexually abused of other cultures are usually not motivated to become suicide bombers, it must have something to do with the Palestinian people, a form of mass psychosis beyond sanity and religion. "Apparently Palestinian terrorism has become so popular that it transcends even the rules of Islam."

"It is certainly the case that vast segments of Palestinian culture have been given over to the creation and nurturing of suicide bombers," David Brooks writes for the Atlantic Monthly. "It's hard to know how Israel, and the world, should respond to the rash of suicide bombings and to their embrace by the Palestinian people." Mr. Brooks refuses to consider the logical explanation of this paradox, namely that collective desperation and the indisputable (and well-documented) fact Palestinians are eking out a severely diminished existence under fifty years of occupation and victimization may have something to do with suicide bombing and violence.

Considering 42% of Palestinian families were destitute in 2003 and dependent on humanitarian assistance, according to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), and "economic and social data show marked deterioration of living conditions for the Palestinian people, including new forms of dispossession and destruction of private and public assets of all kinds," it should really be a no-brainer suicide bombing, as a way to get rid of a brutal Israeli occupation that threatens to literally reach genocidal proportions, is so widespread (in fact, it is remarkable there are not more suicide bombings in Israel). "Unemployment stood at 26% in the fourth quarter of 2003, but reached 70% in some areas. Food consumption was down by 86%," the ESCWA report continues. "Palestinians were living on less than $2.1 a day, a poverty rate of 63%, in mid-2003.... Humanitarian assistance is not sufficient to ensure a sustainable life with dignity and rights for the Palestinian civilians under occupation." But, as the report notes, it is not simply the Palestinians who are suffering under the iron fist of Israeli occupation, but Syrians as well. "In the Syrian Golan Heights, annexed by Israel in 1981, ESCWA said Israeli settlements continue to expand. It said access to natural resources and social services such as schooling and medical facilities were inadequate for the Arab population." Most Syrians have yet to become suicide bombers, but if Israel has its way with its Arab neighbor -- bombing it into submission, as Bush's neocon planners and their Likudnik comrades repeatedly urge (this is a favorite preoccupation for Ariel Sharon) -- the phenomenon may arrive in short order.

"The main thing is that terrorism is a choice people make," Dr. Rona M. Fields, a clinical psychologist and sociologist, told Georgie Geyer. "It's not a sickness, and it's not religious as such. It's a choice they make when they feel that their group is threatened. It's a level of retributive justice; it's vendetta, not psychosis."

As Robert Fisk notes, the Palestinians adopted suicide bombing from Hezbollah -- and Hezbollah successfully broke the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon. Israel's invasion and occupation of Lebanon killed approximately 18,000 innocent civilians, injured 30,000, made homeless between 500,000-800,000, and was singularly responsible for the creation and growth of the occupation resistance organization Hezbollah. Robert Pape made the following observation in the New York Times on May 19, 2005:

Before Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982, there was no Hezbollah suicide terrorist campaign against Israel; indeed, Hezbollah came into existence only after this event. Before the Sri Lankan military began moving into the Tamil homelands of the island in 1987, the Tamil Tigers did not use suicide attacks. Before the huge increase in Jewish settlers on the West Bank in the 1980s, Palestinian groups did not use suicide terrorism. And, true to form, there had never been a documented suicide attack in Iraq until after the American invasion in 2003.

In short, suicide bombing has nothing to do with Muslim or Arab psychology, as Zionist-centric "thinkers" such as Daniel Pipes and Meyrav Wurmser would have us believe. In Iraq, it has nothing to do with outside or foreign "jihadists," as Bush and Rumsfeld would have us conclude. Suicide bombing is a form of asymmetrical warfare used against technologically superior occupation forces. Bush's gaggle of carping neocons would have us believe this sort of warfare is "immoral" and psychologically deviant, and the right thing for the Iraqi resistance to do is line up out in the desert in battle formation and wait for Bush's B52s to carpet bomb them to dust. It's not going to happen and the Pentagon will be forced to accept reality, regardless of Bush's penchant for reality aversion: the Iraqis (and the Palestinians) will do whatever it takes to get rid of foreign occupiers, who are after all in Iraq not to hand deliver "democracy," as Bush never tires of telling them and us, but invaded the country to steal Iraq's natural resources and crush Arab nationalism (as the Israelis continue their effort to crush it in Palestine, with absolutely no success), a set of hopelessly flawed goals ultimately destined for complete and utter failure.

Eerie, except for the fire that is exactly how Hossam Armanious, his wife and his two daughters were murdered last year. Of course, the official resolution of that case did not point to any involvement of Islamic militants, despite earlier suspicions in that direction (they had threatened shortly before to "kill him and his family like chickens") and neither is there any such indication here.

I'll be leaving on Wednesday to go to a conference on "Terrorism: Threats, Training, Tactics and Technology" in Washington, DC next week ( http://www.terrorism.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=About&file=index&subcontent=services&detail=showtraining&course_requested=6 ), and to see friends and former colleagues in New York City. I'll try to check in when I can, but it will probably be irregularly.

Well my site is currently taking a beating....

:mad: :mad:

[Petronas]

Here are a few of the things I took away from the conference on terrorism I attended earlier this week, as well as from meeting with some other people who have good insight into what is going on in Europe and the Middle East:


OBL is still in charge, able to plan and order the execution of operations, and not a mere figurehead.
Zarqawi may soon move on from sole focus on Iraq to the destabilization of other countries in the area. In particular Jordan would seem to be a near term target for overthrow of the Hashemite monarchy.
Between "iconic" targets (9/11) and "people" targets (subways, trains, ferries, nightclubs), expect Al Qaeda to focus on the latter. Some disagreement as to whether the next attack in the U.S., specifically, will also be against a "people" target or whether they will try to hit another "iconic" target here.
The absence of an attack inside the U.S. since 9/11 probably is not solely due to our improved defensive efforts, but rather to the fact that they are not ready yet. Expect something in the next two to four years.
The extensive Hamas and Hezbollah networks inside the U.S. are capable of being used not just for fundraising, as is currently the case, but also for terrorist attacks, should the powers that be so decide.
Arab, and potentially Al Qaeda, infiltration across the Mexican border is a reality and we do not have a good handle on who is coming across and where they end up once inside the U.S. This I inferred from the tight lipped responses of Southwestern law enforcement officials I tried to engage in conversation on the subject.
No one so far has seen any actual instances of Al Qaeda utilizing steganography.
The European governments by and large have woken up to the danger from militant Islam and are terrified. It probably is too late to effectively do anything, given the lack of will of the European electorates and how far the cancer has spread already. France is lost, and the rest of Western Europe probably too. By the end of this century most European countries will have Muslim governments. Much earlier, in a generation or less, we will start seeing a Palestinian style 'intifada' with regular bombings and ambushes, demanding introduction of Sharia law. This was not a topic officially covered at the conference.
The internet forums are an important element in Al Qaeda's communications and recruiting infrastructure. On balance, it is better to monitor them and conduct occasional sting operations than to shut them down and drive communications to where we can not monitor them.
The importance of open source intelligence is increasingly being recognized.

All said, I got the impression that we are doing an amazingly good job of tracking accurately here what is going on. Keep up the good work everyone!

Thank you Petronas for relaying this.

Arab, and potentially Al Qaeda, infiltration across the Mexican border is a reality and we do not have a good handle on who is coming across and where they end up once inside the U.S. This I inferred from the tight lipped responses of Southwestern law enforcement officials I tried to engage in conversation on the subject.
No one so far has seen any actual instances of Al Qaeda utilizing steganography.
The European governments by and large have woken up to the danger from militant Islam and are terrified. It probably is too late to effectively do anything, given the lack of will of the European electorates and how far the cancer has spread already. France is lost, and the rest of Western Europe probably too. By the end of this century most European countries will have Muslim governments. Much earlier, in a generation or less, we will start seeing a Palestinian style 'intifada' with regular bombings and ambushes, demanding introduction of Sharia law. This was not a topic officially covered at the conference.
The internet forums are an important element in Al Qaeda's communications and recruiting infrastructure. On balance, it is better to monitor them and conduct occasional sting operations than to shut them down and drive communications to where we can not monitor them.
The importance of open source intelligence is increasingly being recognized.

All said, I got the impression that we are doing an amazingly good job of tracking accurately here what is going on. Keep up the good work everyone!

Thanks Petronas!

[Petronas]

Oh, and, for what it may be worth, another item that will be of interest to some here. It did not come from a speaker at the conference, but one of the attendees, an Army intelligence analyst to whom I spoke and who seemed to be very well informed. He believes that Saddam Hussein's WMDs probably were brought to Syria shortly before OIF started, and then transferred on to the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon. There they are securely under the control of the Pasdaran and Hezbollah, allowing Syria to truthfully deny that it has any WMDs from Iraq. Since the Lebanese government does not control the Beqaa Valley, it can truthfully issue the same denial.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this. I have been told by my friend who is in law enforcement, that they are not permitted to discuss or share information with the public.

I think it's time we made these types things that you share here more publically visible.

[death2aq]

Here are a few of the things I took away from the conference on terrorism I attended earlier this week, as well as from meeting with some other people who have good insight into what is going on in Europe and the Middle East:


OBL is still in charge, able to plan and order the execution of operations, and not a mere figurehead.
Zarqawi may soon move on from sole focus on Iraq to the destabilization of other countries in the area. In particular Jordan would seem to be a near term target for overthrow of the Hashemite monarchy.
Between "iconic" targets (9/11) and "people" targets (subways, trains, ferries, nightclubs), expect Al Qaeda to focus on the latter. Some disagreement as to whether the next attack in the U.S., specifically, will also be against a "people" target or whether they will try to hit another "iconic" target here.
The absence of an attack inside the U.S. since 9/11 probably is not solely due to our improved defensive efforts, but rather to the fact that they are not ready yet. Expect something in the next two to four years.
The extensive Hamas and Hezbollah networks inside the U.S. are capable of being used not just for fundraising, as is currently the case, but also for terrorist attacks, should the powers that be so decide.

My guess is they use word of mouth to spread their information. They know we have the technology to catch other forms of communication.

So I'm befuddled about this Islamic State of Iraq thing.

On one hand, we have the clerics denouncing it. And very little acknowledgement.

So, is it a case of, if we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist?

On the other hand it reminds me of a joke my mother told me way back when.

A NY piano player caught wind of an Upper East Side cocktail party that he just had to attend. So he crashed it and decided just to blend in.

He was introducing himself to everyone as John Smith, The Greatest Piano Player That Ever Lived.

The host observed him for some time then approached the piano player and said, "So John tell me, how did you become the greatest piano player that ever lived?" To which John replied; "I had buisness cards printed up."

*rim shot*

Don't mind me, just befuddled.

Here it is from the horse's mouth: what we are doing here can be useful and important. I hope the CIA and FBI are reading IH...

Open-source intelligence moving to the fore
11/16/06 -- 10:48 AM

The development and sharing of open-source information may be the first arena where true collaboration among all the agencies in the intelligence community — a requirement in the post-9/11 world — takes hold. At least, Douglas Naquin, director of the Open Source Center in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, is working hard to make it come true. Naquin told the audience attending the GeoINT 2006 conference that John Negroponte, the director of National Intelligence, believes that "open source can be the first manifestation of an integrated community."

The OSC was established just a year ago, incorporating as its foundation the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, a division of the CIA. Its mission is to mine "the world's unguarded knowledge," from all the channels available — the Internet, print, broadcast media, podcasts, anything that contains information, in any language, from any country — and glean all the data contained there. The data is archived, and OSC analysts can then draw upon it in response to queries from all levels of government; Naquin said that in addition to the intelligence community, the center fields requests from the Defense Department, civilian agencies and state and local law enforcement.

In addition to fielding analytical requests, the center is looking to establish open-source "franchises" and providing training, technology guidance and best practices to other governmental operations that have their own needs for open-source information, Naquin said. There is such a large volume of information globally, this is one way to help cope with the magnitude of data, he said.

Historically, the intelligence community has not been that interested in publicly available information; the emphasis has been on developing covert information.

But "there just might be relatively — relatively — fewer secrets today," Naquin said. The advent of information channels such as blogs and YouTube increases the likelihood that something once considered secret will make its way into the public discourse, he said. The center also has taken pains to establish metrics to validate its usefulness, Naquin said. For instance, he set a target for this year that 25 percent of all the analysts trained in using open source should come from outside the CIA. "On Sept. 30 we met our target," he said.

Another measure is in information sharing. The center tracks how many datasets it buys on behalf of agencies, so the metric is the economy of scale — how many agencies are saved the expense of purchasing the commercial data because they can access it through OSC. The upfront aim of measuring the center's success may be paying off. "This year... we have a plus-up in our base" budget, Naquin said. "The stars are aligned as well as they've been in my lifetime for open source."

"This phrase in the Guardian/Observer source cited "The Observer has interviewed intelligence sources.." should have alerted the reader to the fact that the story they were reading was of doubtful veracity."

Heard 9/10: 'Tomorrow is Zero Hour'

By John Diamond and Kathy Kiely, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Conversations intercepted the day before Sept. 11 caught al-Qaeda operatives boasting in Arabic, "The match begins tomorrow" and "Tomorrow is Zero Hour." But U.S. intelligence didn't translate them until Sept. 12, congressional and administration sources disclosed Wednesday. The failure of the National Security Agency to translate the conversations until the day after the terrorist attacks became the focus of an eight-hour closed hearing on Capitol Hill. Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Hayden, head of the NSA, and CIA Director George Tenet told a House-Senate investigative committee that the intercepted communications were too vague to be of use, according to officials familiar with their testimony.

Al Qaida commander 'anticipates' 100,000 Americans dead in attack

Al-Qal'a (The Fortress) an Islamist Internet forum, posted the first of a two-part interview with a person who introduced himself as Abu Salma Al-Hijazi, one of the Al Qaida commanders closest to Osama bin Laden.(1) The interview was conducted in Iraq, south of Faluja. The article notes that Al-Hijazi was surrounded by five masked men carrying missiles as well as personal weapons. The following are excerpts from the interview:

In regard to rumors about a large-scale attack against the U.S. during the month of Ramadan, Al-Hijazi said that "a huge and very courageous strike" will take place and that the number of infidels expected to be killed in this attack, according to primary estimates, exceeds 100,000. He added that he "anticipates, but will not swear, that the attack will happen during Ramadan."

He further stated that the attack will be carried out in a way that will "amaze the world and turn Al Qaida into [an organization that] horrifies the world until the law of Allah is implemented, actually implemented, and not just in words, on His land... You wait and see that the balance of power between Al Qaida and its rivals will change, all of a sudden, Allah willing."

Regarding Al Qaida detainees, Al-Hijazi said: "We follow their situation closely... the collaborating governments will pay the price for capturing these heroes who want to revive the glory of their nation and shake off the dust of humiliation and disgrace."

Al-Hijazi added that the "collaborating and treacherous" governments should know that Al Qaida has a long reach and its members enjoy popularity that will not end just because apostate governments detain hundreds of Al Qaida's members. "As soon as the governments detain one of our people, ten like him join us... this is no secret."

Al-Hijazi said that Al Qaida instructed its members not to confront the governments of Islamic countries and clarified that Americans are the main target of the organization, wherever they may be, in order to cause their disintegration and collapse, even if it takes a long time. "We are patient," he added, "our patience will only end with the collapse of America and its agents."

Al-Hijazi also said: "There is no doubt that the demise of America and its collapse will lead to the collapse of these fragile regimes that depend on it... We will not stop until we establish the Islamic Caliphate and until Allah's law is implemented in His land."

When asked about the recent bombing in Riyadh, Al-Hijazi referred to Saudi media reports — which claimed that in the attack Muslim women and children were killed — as "merely media deceit." He added: "This place was under surveillance for many months. Following a thorough investigation, it became perfectly clear to us that the people living there were at least 300 Americans and a large group of Lebanese Christians who had tortured Muslims there, in Lebanon, during the civil war. After consultation, we decided it was appropriate to attack this place and destroy it, including the people who lived there, because it housed Americans and a large majority of Christians holding Lebanese citizenship.

"Since the Saudi government is aware of the sensitivity of this place and that it is a declared target for Al Qaida, it surrounded it with very heavy security. However, we gave our people in Riyadh a green light to destroy it on top of those inside. Allah facilitated breaking into the place and bombing the part in which mostly Americans stayed. As a result, praise Allah, at least 40 Americans were killed, as well as 27 Christians from Lebanon, and a group of citizens who were Muslim; also, at least 70 Americans were injured, as well as more than 30 citizens of other countries, most of them Christians from Lebanon."

According to Al-Hijazi, a Saudi religious scholar who is wanted by Saudi authorities will claim responsibility in a televised communiqué for the bombing "and for other operations to come." He added that the wills of the attackers will be published, apparently, in the month of Shawwal — the month following Ramadan according to the Muslim calendar - when Al Qaida's main website, Al-Nida, is due to be reactivated.

I was having awful 9/11 dreams last night, over and over. I think this is the first time that has happened. I can't seem to shake them today. :sad_01:

I hate to say stuff like this, but I sort of believe this kind of thing actually means something.

I had them last week. Odd.

[al-Canine]

Oh my. I had them a few days ago.... not graphically 9/11 (which I saw unfold with my very own eyes) but rather.... large war-like rockets flying around outside my apartment window. This is certainly not something I dream about often. :sad_01:

Hopefully it's all just a strange coincidence here....

[Casey]

I think dreams are just your subconscious processing through information it's seen. Perhaps all the sabre rattling about Iran

My youngest swore his oath of U.S. citizenship this morning. :happy_12:

It's been almost 3 years since I had my citizenship adjusted and immigrated to the United States. It has been an interesting, if not bumpy ride along the way.

I dare say the majority of the red tape and adjusting is behind us. :)

heres a way to stop the nightmares.
have playing in your room, a radio. have it set to just info, like a station like radio national. (http://www.abc.net.au/rn/)
have it going softly so you can just hear the lectures and/or programmes.
you will tend to dream incorporating the programme youre listening to. at least, thats what happens to me. i have fantastic dreams.

Back home. Lots of clean up to do, lots of damage still around, lots of electricity still out phone and internet service is still spotty.

I can see where the tornado's hit, our iron fence is fallen to the ground in one spot and the oldest trees on the block are cut into sections on the curb. I've never seen 3 trees wrapped around themselves like grew that way.

I met a lot of people from Galveston and Galveston Island where we were. Their lives are changed forever. It really puts things in perspective talking to some of these people.

I had family in Ohio lose their roof and another had a tree fall on their car, family stranded in Chicago from the flooding and even calls from Toronto the day Ike struck there.

I'll never forget this storm.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

[al-Canine]

Glad to hear you are home. What a wrenching experience this must be.... some of our family members are also still without power. Good luck with all the clean-up.

Thanks for the gloves advice.

I"ve also learned to bring masks back BEFORE you are fallen by mold, particularly if you are sensitive to it.

And, not to swim in pools that may be available to refugees in these situations. It seems I found a toxic one, I've never been so sick. Second anti-biotic series and I'm not feeling any better. ugh.

Anyway...enough about me.

Weird shit. The Francophone Muslim cult leader "Hicham":
http://www.le-peuple-de-dieu.ch/Allah/
http://www.le-peuple-de-dieu.ch/Forum-du-Paranormal/
The admin at that site is Hicham. He identifies himself as the Mahdi. His followers address him as "messenger of God" and other such terms as a Muslim would normally apply to Muhammad. Whoa.

[Casey]

It's late but just wanted to add, it would appear the Lion of Jihad2 from I am a Muslim forum has been arrested.


Ahmad Reza Samadi, spokesman for al-Qaeda in the forum I am a Muslim!

The arrest of the spokesman for al-Qaeda in the forum I am a Muslim!

He recently had a Q&A that I noticed did not get much publicity from the forum watchers, myself included. He is propaganda extreme IMO, however I am reading he was a recruiter for al-Qaeda.

I was just chuckling to myself yesterday that he was pushing his agenda and not getting the kind of response he might have expected, let's say along the lines that a bin Laden tape would get. I think he was disappointed. May have been his down fall as well.

Of course there are others saying he has not been arrested and it is a trick etc.

I'll try and follow up tomorrow.

احمد رضا صمدي
Ahmad Reza Samadi

Are we sure that this is the same guy as Lion of Jihad 2? The latter is definitely a heavyweight. Vicious. He was one of only about 12 or 15 people at Hesbah who were authorized to start new threads.

Do they say where he was (allegedly) arrested?

Keep in touch, Casey. :cool:
