"The Islamic nation now faces a great phase of Jihad, unlike anything we knew fifty years ago. Fifty years ago, Jihad was attributed only to a few individuals in Palestine, and in some other Muslims areas." -- Saudi cleric Dr. Nasser bin Suleiman Al-'Omar, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on April 19, 2006.

Why are things different now? The doctrine of Jihad wasn't suddenly invented. It's been the same, more or less, for 1350 years. So what happened to make things so very different? Well, some might point to the end of "colonialism." They might note that the French, after forty years in Morocco and Tunisia, withdrew from both by the mid-1950s, and from Algeria in 1962. They might note that the British garrisons in Aden and elsewhere along the Persian Gulf had been withdrawn, largely for financial reasons (Philip Larkin wrote a poem about it with the memorable line about "the Light Horse of LSE"). But that is not the main thing. more…

"superior people".  Bit of an unfortunate phrase.

Unfortunately, the western elites identify too much with the resentiments of the Muslim to muster the will to attack global Jihad on two of these  fronts. They have even lost the will to procreate, apparently.

It's ironic how even wealth in abundance has no effect on the slave morality that animates this kind of fatalistic mindset shared by the orientalIslamists and the western leftist alike.

Perhaps though, there is a green solution after all.  Destroy the oil wealth nad the walls come tumbling down, and Islam is restored to its own natural state of  resentful poverty.

still trying to understand this thing called "islam". I have a friend here in connecticut, usa who is the victim of a hate crime committed by muslim women in her suburb of simsbury. do not think she is trying to understand this cult, her son is still alive with her,  funny, people are "trying to understand islam" I am a jew, and all these muslim women are from the subcontinent. not a pretty sight

read maybelline's comment. know about this poor mom and her son in simsbury, connecticut. I hear that she suffers them(muslim women) sexually too, if that is more important than the things they do to her six year old Arjun. what is worse, the systematic murder and abuse of a child ever since he was concieved or the sexual and other abuse that his mom suffers. and this is happening in connecticut. these women should have been locked up and killed long ago.

And those who argue that the existence of such new technology also makes it possible to influence Muslim minds so that some will have their faith weakened,...

No, their anger is further inflamed, they realize they would not have been capable of developing any of this technology .

At age 61, I returned to school full-time on 9/11/01."What is this? Why do they hate? How could a few humans do this dastardly and demonic act?" To the higher mind it is absolutely inconceivable. To the unschooled in the ways of Islamic Jihad it is inexplicable. I now know most of the authoratative humans teaching "Why" on the planet today. Hugh Fitzgerald is probably the clearest and most historically accurate of contemporary events that have lead up to the conundrum of today. I can only, humbly, ask "Are our leaders listening and understanding?" If so, "Do they have a plan or better, even a clue?"

Here's what a Saudi judge has to say on the subject....

"And you will not find any organization past or present, religious or nonreligious as regards (Jihad and military) (ordering) the whole nation to march forth and mobilize all of them. into active military service as a single row for Jihad in Allah's Cause so as to make superior the Word of Allah (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), as you will find in the Islamic Religion and its teachings.

The Qur'an and AsSunna (the legal ways of Prophet Muhammad pbuh) have clearly given (wonderful explanation for) each and every act concering Jihad. The Book has distributed its different actions and its great number of responsibilities on its special units, a most accurate distribution that excels above all the modern organizations and the military teachings. And in fact these modern organizations and military teachings are only a small portion (drop) of the military laws of the Qur'an and AsSunna."

Don't be fooled.  Islam, the so-called "religion of peace," is rooted in violence, fascism, imperialist and deception.

Also, it isn't the violent ones we need to worry about, it's the fifth column they have established firmly in place.

Wake up soon, people, before the nightmare gets any worse.
