With the world seemingly spinning out of control, it's very easy for all of us to become confused from time to time. If you've ever wondered if all of these confrontations we have with Islamic militants and their apologists are turning you into the enemy, here are examples of what to look for.

Muslims protest U.S. from Asia to Mideast

Gee, what will they think of my Qur'an door mat? Actually, I don't give a shit what these losers think. After all, they follow a pedophile prophet wanna-be so why should anyone care?
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Thousands of Muslims marched Friday in Islamic countries from Asia to the Middle East, burning symbols of the United States to protest the alleged desecration of the Quran by military personnel at a American prison in Guantanamo, Bay, Cuba.

The rallies in Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Indonesia, Malaysia and elsewhere followed an admission Thursday by U.S. investigators that Islam's holy book was mishandled at Guantanamo.

But American officials said it was often inadvertent and denied that any Qurans were flushed down a toilet, as Newsweek magazine had reported in a now-retracted article.

Party celebrating assassination survival bombed


Recall that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi released a 74 minute video justifying the killing of civilian Muslims as collateral damage, women and children included.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A series of car bombings and other attacks in Iraq on Monday killed at least 43 people and wounded dozens, Iraqi officials said.

Also Monday, the U.S. military announced the deaths of four American troops in three separate incidents a day earlier.

Two car bombs killed at least 15 civilians and wounded at least 20 Monday night in the northern city of Tal Afar, a government official told CNN.

Car bombs also struck two Shiite Muslim areas Monday in Iraq, killing at least 12 people and wounding more than 130 at a Baghdad restaurant and a mosque south of the capital.

The Tal Afar attack, which happened about 7 p.m., targeted a tribal gathering at the home of Sheik Hassan Bakdash, who was celebrating his surviving an assassination attempt a couple of days ago, said Khosra Goran, deputy governor of Nineveh province.

He described Bakdash as one of the most influential figures in the region. The Bakdash tribe is Shiite and is allied with Kurdish parties, mainly the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, he said.

Two car bombs exploded near the site of the gathering, with the majority of the casualties coming in the second detonation, Goran said. It was not immediately known if they were set off by suicide bombers.
When will the Iraqi people have had enough killing and do something to help stop these murderous Islamic Terrorists?

Baghdad Mosque Closings Spark Weapons Shortage

2005-05-21 (Scrappleface) -- Since Friday's announcement by a Sunni Muslim cleric that Baghdad's Sunni Mosques would close for three days to protest killings blamed on Iraqi security forces, consumers said they're struggling to find alternate sources for weaponry.

"My children and I stood on line at a back-alley dealer for seven hours just to buy mortar rounds," said one unnamed local resident. "My uncle just called and he's got one rocket-propelled grenade left, and has completely exhausted his family's supply of roadside bombs."

Indeed, industry sources report that the price of all kinds of small armaments jumped 73 percent within minutes of the announcement that the mosques would close.

"When you get an improvised explosive device at the mosque, you can rely on the quality," said one unnamed regular customer. "But a lot of the stuff you buy on the street is shoddy work that might send you to Allah before you get to the crowd of infidels. I think we're going to see a lot of second-rate martyrdom work until the mosques re-open."

6 Al-Qaeda-linked militants killed in Philippines

A good example of the Global Anti-Jihad in action.
Zamboanga(Agence France-Presse) -- Soldiers killed six members of the Al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf Muslim extremist group in a clash on Saturday on the southern Philippine island of Jolo, military officials said.

"At least six Abu Sayyaf terrorists were killed by soldiers and we recovered the bodies and their weapons," said Brigadier General Alexander Aleo, head of an anti-terror task force on the island.

Two Marines were also wounded in the clash, Aleo said.

An undetermined number of Abu Sayyaf were also wounded in the battle, said Colonel Juancho Sabban, head of the Marine force on the island.

A Marine reconnaissance force crept up on the camp of the gang led by commander Radulan Sahiron in the jungles of Patikul town, said Sabban.

"Many of them were still sleeping and were caught by surprise by our attacking special operation team," Sabban added.

The attack was part of continuing operations against Sahiron's group, which had stepped up its attacks on government forces in February.

The Abu Sayyaf has been linked by both Washington and Manila to the Al-Qaeda terror network led by Osama bin Laden

The group has engaged in bombings and kidnapping-for-ransom attacks against Christians and foreigners in the southern Philippines for more than a decade.

Key al Qaeda operative killed

You can run but you can't hide!
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A key al Qaeda operative was killed earlier this week in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, two knowledgeable sources told CNN Friday.

They said a CIA-operated Predator drone aircraft fired a missile, killing Haithem al-Yemeni, whom U.S. intelligence had been tracking for some time.

There had been hope he might lead authorities to Osama bin Laden or other top al Qaeda leaders, the sources said.

ABC News first reported the Predator attack, saying it happened in Pakistan near the Afghan border. Pakistan Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad told CNN al-Yemeni was not killed in Pakistan.

Both sources declined to be further identified due to the sensitivity of the matter. One pointed out the report could create political problems for the Pakistani government, which has been quietly cooperating with U.S. efforts to round up or kill al Qaeda operatives.

ABC News reported al-Yemeni was in line to replace Abu Faraj al-Libbi as al Qaeda's global operations chief. Al-Libbi, the No. 3 man in bin Laden's terror network, was captured by Pakistani authorities last week in the frontier along the border with Afghanistan.

8 dead with Ebola-like symptoms in Congo

This is one nasty little fucker.
BRAZZAVILLE, Congo (Reuters) -- Republic of Congo officials said on Thursday eight people had died over the past two weeks with symptoms similar to those suffered by victims of the Ebola virus, raising fears of a new outbreak of the disease.

Health Minister Alphonse Gando said people should not panic but should avoid contact with suspected patients and dead bush animals, which are thought to transmit the virus to humans.

"Since April 27, the health district of Etoumbi, in the Cuvette-Ouest region, has recorded seven deaths and three patients with clinical symptoms that make the Ebola virus a strong suspect as the cause of the deaths and the illness," Gando said in a statement.

He said another person who left Etoumbi to go to Mbomo had also died after showing the same symptoms. Etoumbi and Mbomo are respectively 400 miles (640 kilometers) and 435 miles (700 kilometers) north of the capital Brazzaville.

There is no known cure for Ebola, which is passed on by infected body fluids and kills between 50 and 90 percent of victims, depending on the strain.

The disease damages blood vessels and can cause bleeding, diarrhea and shock. Its worst outbreak, in 1995, killed more than 250 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

More al-Qaida suspects seized in terror raids across Pakistan

al-Libbi is singing like a little bitch. No doubt Musharraf's boys are having a time with this Islamic Terrorist.
(The Guardian) -- Pakistani soldiers swooped on two dozen suspected al-Qaida fighters after interrogating the man believed to be the terror network's third in command, officials said yesterday.

Abu Faraj al-Libbi, captured this week, is thought to be al-Qaida's operations chief, and security forces in Pakistan said he could also provide leads to the whereabouts of the network's leader, Osama bin Laden, and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri. Both are believed to slip frequently between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Yesterday, raids in Lahore, the capital of the eastern province of Punjab, Peshawar, capital of North-West Frontier Province, and the Bajaur tribal area, resulted in the arrest of more than 20 other al-Qaida suspects, as well as the seizure of guns and grenades.

Analysts said the success of the operations justified Pakistan's assertion that it was winning the war against terrorism. "From the arrests it looks as if Pakistan has been quite successful in containing al-Qaida activity on its own soil," said Khalid Mahmud of the Institute of Regional Studies in Islamabad.

Suspected al-Qaida number three captured after gunbattle in Pakistan

(The Guardian) -- The man thought to be al-Qaida's head of global operations and the mastermind behind an attempt to assassinate the president of Pakistan was captured by the country's troops after a fierce gun battle in the lawless tribal belt close to the Afghan border, officials said last night.

In an operation described by George Bush as a "a critical victory in the war on terror", Libyan Abu Faraj al-Libbi was seized with another "foreigner" after a fierce firefight on the outskirts of Mardan, 30 miles north-east of Peshawar, the capital of the rugged North West Frontier Province.

President Bush said Libbi was "a major facilitator and a chief planner" for Osama bin Laden and that his arrest "removes a dangerous enemy". It recently emerged that US forces have trained Pakistani helicopter pilots and army commandos in tactics to tackle al-Qaida's mountain refuges in the country's tribal area.

Pakistani authorities, who had said they felt they were closing in on Libbi, were quick to capitalise on what they believe is the most important terrorist to be captured since the arrest of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, al-Qaida's purported number three, two years ago in Karachi, Pakistan's financial capital.

Libbi allegedly took over as al-Qaida's operational chief after Mohammed's capture. The information minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, told reporters that Libbi, who was seized on Monday, was "a very big catch" and hinted that Pakistani troops had picked up the trail of Bin Laden. "We will be looking at all his links. Our forces are moving towards the right direction."

Mr Libbi is known as a computer, electronics, and communications expert. When arrested he was said to be carrying satellite phones and a high frequency wireless, and reports said that he had been in contact with al-Qaida cells in the US and south-east Asia.
