Pakistan ISI Caught Red Handed

The Haqqani Network is a Taliban wing  based in Pakistan. Last week it was responsible for the terrorist attack on an NATO installation in Kabul. Sixteen people were killed – no Americans.

Now irrefutable mobile intercept evidence has been traced which shows the direct link between Haqqani network and the ISI.

According to U.S. officials, the Haqqani network consists of several thousand fighters and operates with impunity from safe havens inside Pakistan, conducting cross-border raids into Afghanistan and up into Kabul.

The Pakistani spy agency uses the Haqqanis to sow violence so Afghanistan cannot emerge as a strong and stable country allied with Pakistan’s arch enemy India.

Two days before the attack on the U.S. Embassy, a large truck bomb went off at an American combat outpost, wounding 77 U.S. soldiers.

Why I Hate Al Qaeda

This is a cross-post by Karima Benoune


2,975 reasons to hate Al Qaeda. There are millions more.

To start, there are 2,975 reasons from 90 countries. An unforgettable patchwork quilt of humanity that was disappeared on a Tuesday morning ten years ago. (credit for photo above depicting many victims of 9/11) But that is only the beginning.

I hate Al Qaeda for all the human beings they have killed – the Africans, Americans, Arabs, Asians, Europeans, agnostics, atheists, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims.

I hate Al Qaeda because they have murdered thousands of Muslims even while claiming to represent them, a claim they make even while bombing mosques during Ramadan. Because they reduce a rich religious heritage to a series of absurd prohibitions. They make the most sacred pronouncements, like Allahu Akbar – God is Great – into threats, into epithets.

I hate Al Qaeda because of the Caliphate of Doom they want to build.

SIAN Blames “Politically Correct Norway” for Breivik’s Murders

This is a guest post by Adam Barnett


Stop the Islamisation of Norway have stated that ‘the politically correct Norway must take their share of the blame for the terrorist attack’ carried out by Anders Behring Breivik last Friday. According to an imperfect Google translation, the group asserts that ‘Politicians have strangled Islam debate and refused to take on the threat Islam represents for countries and people’, and that ‘newspaper editors’, ‘TV and radio executives’, ‘anti-racists’ and ‘left-extremists’ have prevented ‘the real Islam critics from being heard’, citing themselves as silenced experts. They went on to posit that if politicians had not ‘shut their eyes and ears but taken necessary steps’, Breivik’s killing spree could have been prevented.

The remarks appeared in an article written by SIAN ‘leader’ Arne Tumyr which was published on the group’s website on Sunday night. The site had released a shorter statement eight hours earlier condemning Breivik as ‘an enemy of Norway’. Both pieces remain on the SIAN site, which currently bares the following passage on its homepage: ‘Islam is the backdrop for this tragedy – this incredible and horrific mass murder that Sian takes the stand from. Also we feel with the relatives. The political correct Norway, however, has its share of the blame – the politicians have put a lid on Islamic debate – despite the fact that most of the Norwegian people is opposed to Islam.’(sic)

Anders Breivik and Christianist Nationalism

Hours before Anders B Breivik, dressed in police uniform, prowled Utoeya, calmly massacring teenagers, he posted a 1,500-word “manifesto” online which he titled a European declaration of independence. In amongst the anti-Muslim screed, of which it is redolent, is this appalling insight into his murderous plan:

I’m pretty sure I will pray to God as I’m rushing through my city, guns blazing, with 100 armed system protectors pursuing me with the intention to stop and/or kill. I know there is a 80%+ chance I am going to die during the operation as I have no intention to surrender to them until I have completed all three primary objectives AND the bonus mission. When I initiate (providing I haven’t been apprehended before then), there is a 70% chance that I will complete the first objective, 40% for the second, 20% for the third and less than 5% chance that I will be able to complete the bonus mission. It is likely that I will pray to God for strength at one point during that operation, as I think most people in that situation would….If praying will act as an additional mental boost/soothing it is the pragmatical thing to do. I guess I will find out… If there is a God I will be allowed to enter heaven as all other martyrs for the Church in the past.

Bob Lambert is wrong about Raed Salah – hate preacher, anti-semite and conspiracy theorist

This is a cross-post by Rashad Ali from ConservativeHome


Robert Lambert yesterday mistakenly criticized the government for its position on excluding and subsequently arresting the hate preacher Raed Salah, as reported on Newsnight , not for his political views, but for violating his notice of exclusion under UK immigration law. Lambert refers to Saleh as “Sheikh” and  presents him as merely a persecuted Palestinian activist.

  In his piece, Lambert tries to say that the controversy is about Israel and nothing to do anti-semitism, extremism, support for Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, or in fact any connections with officially-designated extreme or terrorist groups.

Lambert is either ignorant of the facts, incompetent or simply not concerned with them at all.

  He states that “anger and frustration with Israeli oppression is hardly the same as unwarranted hatred of a minority or majority community of any kind.”  

But Salah has said:

Where does all the US Aid to Pakistan Go?

Not only very beautiful but the incredibly brave Sherhrbano Taseer, daughter of the late Salman Taseer – here interviewed on MSNBC. Sherhbano’s father was the governor of Punjab who was gunned down in the street for challenging the country’s Blasphemy Law and for standing up for the rights of non-Muslim minorities. It should be clear to anyone that by following the same campaigns as her father she is very possibly putting herself in danger.

The last part of the interview is on the distribution of US aid to Pakistan (1.5 billion USD per year) and how it is spent in Pakistan very interesting and it goes like this:

Rebranding al Qaeda

In the last days of his life, the AP reports, Osama bin Laden considered changing the name because of a loss in the al Qaeda brand worth most likely caused by its connotations to indiscriminate slaughter and wanton violence and some very wanky student politics at a few of University of London ISOCs.

The problem with the name al-Qaida, bin Laden wrote in a letter recovered from his compound in Pakistan, was that it lacked a religious element, something to convince Muslims worldwide that they are in a holy war with America.

Maybe something like Taifat al-Tawhed Wal-Jihad, meaning Monotheism and Jihad Group, would do the trick, he wrote. Or Jama’at I’Adat al-Khilafat al-Rashida, meaning Restoration of the Caliphate Group.

More “Noble and Courageous” Revolutionary Jihad

The title describes the mindset that permits some Muslims to view this story as a form of “defensive jihad” waged against “the West”. This is in fact the type of thing that a Muslim commentator of this blog would have us believe Pakistanis want to have inflicted on them because, apparently, the “West is at war with Islam”. Their message is clear: Pakistanis would much prefer to have bombs strapped to a child for a suicide mission than have Islam “demonized” in the West. Go figure.

An eight-year-old Pakistani girl was kidnapped by militants who forced her to wear a suicide vest to attack security forces, police said on Monday.

Police produced the girl, identified as Sohana Javaid, before a news conference broadcast on Pakistani television channels.

The girl recalled how she was kidnapped in her hometown of Peshawar by two women and a man who pulled up in a car.

Munir Ashi, Cardiff and Hamas

This is a cross-post by Habibi

Munir Ashi is the chairman of the Dar ul-Isra mosque in Cardiff. He has had keen supporters in government there:

The [reconstruction] work at Dar ul-Isra has been made possible by a grant of £120,000 from CFAP – the Welsh Assembly Government’s Community Facilities and Activities Programme.

“That has been a huge help,” Dr Ashi admitted. “Although we have raised funds ourselves and some of the work is being completed by members of the Muslim community, the cash from the Welsh Assembly Government has made all the difference.”

Ashi is one of the scheduled speakers at the Cageprisoners fundraising event scheduled for this Saturday at Cardiff City Hall.

This makes sense. Ashi is a good fit with the Taliban supporters and jihad lovers of Cageprisoners. Have a look at him here, wishing Israel’s destruction in a sermon at the mosque in March this year:
