Islamism's Campus Club

By Jonathan Dowd-Gailey
Middle East Quarterly | June 2, 2004

The northern Virginia-based Muslim Students' Association (MSA) might easily be taken for a benign student religious group. It promotes itself as a benevolent, non-political entity devoted to the simple virtue of celebrating Islam and providing college students a healthy venue to develop their faith and engage in philanthropy. Along these lines, its constitution declares the MSA's mission as serving "the best interest of Islam and Muslims in the United States and Canada so as to enable them to practice Islam as a complete way of life."[1]
...
Yet consider some of these recent activities of the MSA:

· At a meeting in Queensborough Community College in New York in March 2003, a guest speaker named Faheed declared, "We reject the U.N., reject America, reject all law and order. Don't lobby Congress or protest because we don't recognize Congress. The only relationship you should have with America is to topple it ... Eventually there will be a Muslim in the White House dictating the laws of Shariah."
...

Risk of radioactive "dirty bomb" growing

Exclusive from New Scientist Print Edition. Subscribe and get 4 free issues.

The risk of somebody somewhere triggering a radioactive "dirty bomb" is growing, evidence gathered by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency suggests.

The IAEA's records, which it has released to New Scientist, show a dramatic rise in the level of smuggling of radiological materials, defined as radioactive sources that could be used in dirty bombs but not nuclear bombs.

WAKE-UP CALL TO THE MUJAHIDEEN

SITE Institute


SITE Institute,6/2/2004 - On June 2, 2004, the following message was posted on an Islamic Website considered to be a mouthpiece of Al Qaeda. This important and dangerous message questions the Mujahideen’s focus on Saudi Arabia alone and instigates a wake-up call for Muslims to attack other countries that are harboring Americans such as Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

The Real Roots of Muslim Hatred

By Andrew G. Bostom
FrontPageMagazine.com | June 3, 2004



“Are you Muslim or Christian? We don't want to kill Muslims.” That’s what the Islamic terrorists reportedly told their innocent prey during a murderous shooting spree last Saturday in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, that left at least 17 civilians dead in the initial assault. 1 How are we to interpret such repeated acts of terrorism, targeting non-Muslims?

The Enemy is Not Just Al-Qaeda
By Robert Spencer

“I believe you are what Americans call Al-Qaeda.”[1] National Guard Spc. Ryan Anderson gave this response when two undercover agents he thought were Islamic terrorists asked him: “What organization do you think we are?”

Anderson, who is now under arrest for attempting to betray his country and join the jihad, chose his words carefully. A convert to Islam who had spent considerable time cruising for radical Muslim Internet sites, Anderson knew that what Americans think of as one unified organization — Al-Qaeda — is in reality a loose affiliation of many organizations, or even an American conceptual grouping of people who share common motives and goals.

Terror in the name of God
By Ahmede Hussain
For the Bangladeshi-born British envoy, Anwar Chowdhury, the forenoon of May 21 started without any clue of what was in the offing. It was 1:35 and a huge crowd of people greeted Anwar, as he was about to leave the Shrine of Shahjalal after saying Friday prayers. But as the envoy, only 18 days into his new job, reached the exit door of the 700-year-old tomb, a bearded man in his early forties halted the High Commissioner's way. "The man was telling Anwar to give him some money," recalls Advocate Abdul Hai Khan, Anwar Chowdhury's grandfather and a witness to the mayhem that would follow.

Polnische und amerikanische Truppen haben im Irak einen polnischen Ingenieur und drei Italiener befreit.

In Bagdad, Polen und Italien herrscht nun große Freude bei Angehörigen und Betroffenen. "Mir fällt ein Stein vom Herzen, dass Jerzy frei ist", sagte der aus dem Entführer-Auto geflüchtete Firmenkollege Radolsaw Kadri zu SPIEGEL ONLINE. Über die Details der Befreiung dürfe er allerdings nicht sprechen. In Italien informierte das dortige Innenministerium die Familien der Sicherheitsleute über deren Freilassung. Ministerpräsident Silvio Berlusconi erfuhr an Bord eines Flugzeuges, das ihn zum G-8-Gipfel in die USA bringt, von der erfolgreichen Aktion.
"Das ganze Flugzeug brach in Jubelstürme aus", berichtete sein Sprecher.

Hauptsache diese Geiseln sind frei.:daumen::daumen:

Wenn man die westlichen Geiseln, die nun befreit (?) wurden, wirklich hätte töten wollen, dann hätte man dies alsbald getan.
Die westlichen Geiseln, auch wenn sie befreit sind, werden sich wahrscheinlich bald wieder in den irakischen Strassen tummeln und könnten so auch der polnische Ingenieur alsbald wieder 'eingefangen' werden :bonk:

Defeating Global Jihad: Reagan Showed the Way

By Robert Spencer
FrontPageMagazine.com | June 7, 2004

Mark Steyn reminds us that “only Reagan could have stood there and declared without embarrassment: Tear down this wall!” In the warm glow of this week’s encomia it’s easy to miss the reason why anyone might have felt embarrassed at all. With the dreaded wall long made into paperweights, it’s easy to forget that before (and during, largely) the age of Reagan, the idea that Communism was evil, and the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” was, among the intelligentsia in America and Western Europe, in the worst possible taste.

Die Meldung passt nicht zu 100% in den Thread, weil kein islamistisches Motiv besteht, glaube ich. Allerdings kam schon mal irgendwann hier die Frage auf, inwiefern "schmutzige Bomben" realisierbar sind. So einfach ist wohl dann doch nicht denn :

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,303525,00.html">http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0 ... 25,00.html</a><!-- m -->

US-EXPERTEN

Padillas "schmutzige Bombe" wäre Blindgänger geworden

Der mutmaßliche Terrorist Jose Padilla hat laut US-Justizministerium eine "schmutzige Bombe" mit radioaktivem Uran vorbereitet, die er in einer Großstadt zünden wollte. Nun sagen Experten, die Bombe hätte niemals funktioniert.

New York - Renommierte Physiker zeigten sich gegenüber der Nachrichtenagentur AP irritiert über die Mitteilung des Justizministeriums, der US-Bürger Jose Padilla habe eine Bombe aus "Uran, eingepackt in Sprengsätze" bauen wollen. Dies sei schlicht unmöglich, sagte der amerikanische Nuklearphysiker Peter Zimmerman vom Londoner King's College. Dazu sei die Radioaktivität von Uran zu gering.
...

Weiterhin heisst es :

Das US-Justizministerium hatte in der vergangenen Woche Verhörprotokolle veröffentlicht, wonach Padilla Hotels und Wohnungen sprengen und eine schmutzige Bombe zünden wollte. Die Inhaftierung des US-Bürgers als so genannter "feindlicher Kämpfer" wird derzeit vom Obersten Gerichtshof geprüft. Dabei geht es um die Frage, ob die Regierung die Befugnis hat, terrorverdächtige Amerikaner auf unbestimmte Zeit und ohne Zugang zu ihrem Anwalt in Haft zu nehmen.

klar, bei nem Ami machen die plötzlich so ein Gezappel ! :bonk:

[Cluster]

Shahab .. als Inhaltsstoff einer schmutzigen Bombe werden eher "leichter" zugängliche radioaktive Quellen wie Kobalt 60 (Industrie) und Cäsium (Medizien) betrachtet.
