Over the three weeks or so, there has been alot of chatter about Al qaeda planning some kind of mega attack against the US directly. Tommorow, tuesday, is the end of ramadan and the story goes that if someone is martyred during that day, then they will be taken extra special good care of in the afterlife. (in the words of Dr Evil in Austin powers, Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight) Anyway, the chatter has made it on to US news channels as well, and the jihadi sites have been telling muslims to get out of the US, and more specifically, Wash DC, LA and NYC. The threats have even been more narrowed down by saying "It will consist of a series of surprise attacks that will cut America off from communication with its armies in Muslim countries.” So maybe they will hit centcom or some other major communications hub with high civilian numbers, or a high value command target like the White House, Pentagon, CIA. They have a small article on it at www.debka.com

It could just be the big T's talking the talk. I mean security is gonna be big at this time so it wouldn't be the best idea to launch an attack right now.

Looking at the news right now then there is the John Muhammad sniper guy probably getting the death penalty. The man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing is told he must serve at least 27 years in jail. India and Pakistan having a truce. Bush appointing a $400 billion defence bill(come on guys give us 1 billion) and so maybe the big T's will strike.

Saying that i don't think Al Quida are the type of people to give warnings so they could just be trying to make themselves look scary.

We are getting it here in the UK too. There was a big article in my newspaper about it today. MI5 have stated that two "sleeper cells" of the GIA here in the UK have been activated and have already completed surveillance of targets here in the UK. Apparantly one if these cells is in the Midlands and another down south (if my memory serves me correctly). MI5 were tipped off when one cell tried to purchase very large quantities of toxic chemicals in London.

Leicester in the UK seems to be a haven for them, one group of Al Qaeda linked operatives has already been arrested there. One of my old mates who is now on their Tactical Firearms Unit was on the strike team on that operation. Leicester receives huge numbers of asylum seekers and immigrants and it is believed that the terrorists have infiltrated the UK this way.

We are being extra vigilant as intelligence suggests an attack will occur sooner rather than later. :(

In all seriousness, I was trying to fall asleep today on the train ride into work this morning, and suddenly there was a very loud bang that shook the car, had a visual flash, and send smoke out either side of the train from the undercarriage. In this rediculous world of ours I can guarantee that the first thing on everyone's mind was foul play by some terrorist junky. Someone ran and got the conductor and after they stopped the train for a couple of minutes, they determined it to be something in the brake mechanism that exploded off for whatever reason. Not a big deal seeing as there's redundant brakes on all of the 12 cars. Point is, if that had been a real bomb or grenade, knowing that Al Qaeda's going back on the road for a second music tour isn't going to help me at all. I worry about the guys in Iraq and other hotspots, not about what might happen here in the US.

Whoever told you that dying at the last of ramadan will get extra reward lied to you, unless you're making up stories.

Its forbidden to fight in this holy month so don't mix up your facts. And if Bin Laden wants to attack he will attack whenver he wants, he's not waiting for a month or a day to do it to get rewarded. Most of the hijackers didn't know what the mission was until they got on the plane. So don't believe what the media tells you.

It may be doctrinally "not allowed" to fight during Ramadan, but there have been precious few conflicts where Muslims have laid down their arms during the month of Ramadan. It didn't happen in the Iran-Iraq War. It didn't happen in Lebanon. It didn't happen during the intifadas.

I mean, Jews "aren't allowed" to eat pork, but I regularly dine on bacon cheeseburgers, you know? ;) Debating the official doctrines of religion doesn't actually shed much light on how people operate in real life.

How could the hijackers "not know what the mission was until they got on the plane"? They had already learned how to fly aircraft, they had studied maps to know where certain buildings were, and they had brought weapons with them to subdue the crews. How much more info do you need?!

Yes, I've got a big problem. My problem is that people are wasting time sitting around, discussing what "true Islam" represents when it's very obvious that the terrorists don't really care what Saranof or One or myself think is "true Islam." The simple fact is, terrorists are not going to stop for Ramadan. That's all that really matters in this discussion.

Remember--this isn't a war on Islam. It's a war on terrorists. So we're not trying to predict what Islam says, we're trying to predict what terrorists do. And terrorists aren't going to stop for Ramadan. End of story.

Ya the same, people are all took quick to blame things on terrorists. Working at msn I'd be sleeping...uhhh i mean working an alot of people were quick to jump on things and blame it on terrorists. For example: with the Msblaster virus was going around my life was a living hell. I actually had to work (hopefully never again though), this one chick was soooo convinced that is was "terrorism" I simply told her "Look terrorists got better things to do then mess up dail up internet, its probably some skinny geek from Minnisota that needs something to talk and brag about while playing Runescape.

But in the show, they caught him, of course....

Scary ain't it?

It would make sense for them to attack Thanksgiving or Christmas, but will they? They didnt last year....because security was tight as balls and it will be this year too.

Yet you are the one who said muslims like to die on the last day of ramadan because they get extra reward. So you brough up the subject. I'm a muslim and I'm gonna show what my religion is. I'm not gonna let you or anyone else distort the facts.

No, that was Nizark. First post of the thread. If you're going to pick a fight, pick it with the right person.

I merely said that historically, the militaries of Muslim countries have not declared cease-fires during the Ramadan, and Muslim terrorist groups (which do not represent "true Islam") have historically not declared cease-fires during Ramadan. That is ALL I said. If you've got a problem with that, bring it up with Saddam Hussein, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Sheik Yassin. Cause THEY'RE the ones who have historically refused to declare cease-fires during Ramadan. I merely pointed out what they did.

As for my statement "this is not a war against Islam, it is a war against terrorism"--think of a statement "WWII-Europe was not a war against blue-eyed people, it was a war against fascism." Were a significant number of European fascists blue-eyed? Yes. Did being blue-eyed make you the enemy? No. See the critical distinction, and how it relates to my comments on the War on Terror?

I'm not your enemy. I'm not out to pick fights with you or slander your religion. I hate Nazis but I've got nothing against Germans as a whole. I hate terrorists but I've got nothing against Muslims as a whole. So don't feel like I am your enemy. I'm not.

And listen, i'm not trying to start $hit with anyone here, I am simply trying to get people's opinions on things. Everyone gets things wrong on this board once in a while, but brother man, breath in and out. People think it is a war against Islam because the majority of the terrorist a$$holes are subscribers to Islam. Anyway, isn't it just knitpicking when it comes to "better timing" to attack someone? Ok, I may be wrong, although, depending on it you are sunni or shiite, you would have a different opinion about it. Mohammad is the only prophet, or is Ali, his friend, considered one as well? And since you are muslim, you know about Taqiyyah, so who is to say that some terrorist supporting muslim, didn't say this "best die to die nosense" simply to decieve the enemy? (us) Inshallah I hope that, there is no attack on the US or US interests.

On a crappier note, you think that McDill could be a target? They are the HQ for centcom, and they are a major communication hub for US forces in the gulf.

Terrorists have very little interest in fighting/bombing/attacking military targets, assuming they could even reach them. They want to cause as much civilian damage as possible because that's what will make for better television, which is the actual instrument of terror here. In the last few weeks, various sources have said that attacks on Americans in Iraq have been going steadily down, and attack on Iraqis have been going up. They know that they'll get more of an effect when civilians and native people are killed because they'll cause a big mob etc. When it's US soldiers they're quickly carted off with a 'nothing to see here' mentality.

StarvingStudent47 sorry for flipping out on you I mixed you up for Nizark. His post got me angry and I didnt recognize whose who. Hope there are no hard feelings :(


Nizark being a shiite or sunni we both follow the exact same teachings. There might be minor differences but on a wider view they are the same.

Wahabi's (the ones carrying out the attacks all over the world and Salafi sunnis) have deviated from the teachings and believe that the founder of the sect is their saviour. The believe all other muslims and christians and Jews are infidels and deserve to die. Thats why they had no problem blowing up buildings in turkey.


If they were carrying out attacks on their land against a foreign invader then its legitimated. But if its against civilians and outside the land of struggle then it is forbidden by muslim standards. So you shouldn't generalize because alot of people are doing so and it is being percieved as a war on Islam rather than war on terrorism. And when people start percieving it like that then you are only angering more people who will make sure that the "crusaders" will not get what they want.

Why then is there no general uproar or condemnation by the 'legitimate' Muslim world when these actions continue to occur both in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. When the infidels continue to be able to hear a pin drop from the Muslim world after continued terrorist attacks, what conclusion are we to draw?

I've noticed that. There's a lot more attacks on Iraqi police departments and stuff. Hopefully this plan will backfire, and it will show ordinary people that the insurgents DO NOT represent their interests. We'll see whether or not the ordinary Iraqi manages to realize that the insurgents from Syria and Pakistan are a greater threat to him than the Coalition soldiers. I hope the answer is "yes," but I fear the answer is "no."

Trigger has a point. I didn't hear many governments condemn the synagogue bombings in Turkey (besides the Turkish government itself). Let's see, those attacks were:

1) Against civilians? Yes.

2) Outside the "land of struggle"? Yes.

So why didn't more Muslim leaders speak out?

Most arab governments are secular. But they do condem the attacks. You have 37 muslim sects you cant tell each one what to do. Usualy clerics condem these attacks but it wont change anything. You still have a large number of followers of bin laden so no matter how much you condem the 9/11 attacks and how much you explain to them that this is wrong and it is against the teachings they will still do it.
