"The Dawn of the Real Islam"
So says Abu Ayman, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, as he gloated about details in the report from the Iraq Study Group. Islamic Jihad is the group which has been responsible for suicide bombings within Israel over the past two years. More from Abu Ayman:
"The report proves that this is the era of Islam and of jihad..."(With the Iraq Study Group report), the Americans came to the conclusion that Islam is the new giant of the world and it would be clever to reduce hostilities with this giant. In the Koran the principle of the rotation is clear and according to this principle the end of the Americans and of all non-believers is getting closer."And this from Abu Abdullah, leader of Hamas's military wing:
"It is not just a simple victory. It is a great one. The big superpower of the world is defeated by a small group of mujahedeen (fighters)....According to Abu Abdullah, after the United States withdraws from Iraq,
"It is no doubt that Allah and his angels were fighting with them (insurgents) against the Americans. It is a sign to all those who keep saying that America, Israel and the West in general cannot be defeated on the ground so let us negotiate with them."
"America must understand that with anti-American governments in Latin America and with Islam growing and reinforcing, including in the US itself, the next step would be a total defeat on their (American) land, not a relative one like they are facing in Iraq."Bluff and bluster? Before 9/11, we thought that Osama bin Laden's threats were bluff and bluster.

I'd take them at their word. Whether or not they succeed is irrelevant; the fact that they will try is a check you can cash.
The Andronicci have yet to have their say or play their part in any emergent Islamic renaissance.
Hiya AOW..Imagine our enemies gloating over the ISG...sheesh...its going from bad to worse................what a sham that was!
More bluster then truth but failure in Iraq will only motivate Jihadist here in America...such as CAIR and the patrons of Iran...Hamas and Hezbollah.
I don't see any easy answers. We could exploit the Sunni/Shi'ite division but a greater war could destabilize the entire region and the world economy.
Crusader,

Such motivation is going to be a serious problem, IMO, whether "lone jihadists" start up or whether organized jihadists work their evil.
We're caught in a real conundrum with regard to the Middle East. As you said, no easy solutions.
WHT,
They seem to gloat, no matter what.
Farmer,
If they're going to have their say, they'd better get a jump-start on it.
Brooke,
Yes, they are going to try, in the name of the will of Allah.
Anonymous,
I read your link. I'm not buying.
I'm sure those who lay in the mass graves we discovered would disagree with you, Ducky.
The Islamic revival is still in the growing phase and that will continue despite anything we do. Sure, decisive and brutal defeat would have set them back but I don’t think Americans are ready to back a full fight and a half fight is always costly. But even if we buy time by judiciously picking our fights so that we win and leave in short order, the movement has indigenous causes that we don’t control. There is civil war in the Sudan and Somalia. There’s ethnic cleansing of Buddhists in southern Thailand. Pakistan is sill in a precarious state. Iran wants a second holocaust. Mubarak may not last long and the Egyptian brotherhood is in the wings. Islam is going to be a threat for sometime.
Americans have to learn about the enemy so that we fight more effectively. The 1st thing to do is stop helping our enemy.
Yeah, it would really help if people on our own side stopped emboldening the enemies of America.
Unfortunately ducky, our own soldiers were undercut by people such as Pelosi and Murtha. Aided by the media who one-sidedly broadcasted failures to achieve a political defeat for Bush, the end was pretty much inevitable.
Was there poor planning?
Undoubtedly.
Poor intelligence?
Undoubtedly.
What success possible?
Also undoubtedly.
I'm amazed by how many Americans revel at the prospect of a defeat.

You can sense that as they gloat at the prospect of chaos in Iraq and at the vision of jihadi cheering in the streets.
The left is actually cheering for the enemy … or smiling in their typical smug manner.
I don’t think that’s going to happen unless the oil runs out or chaos stops the oil from flowing for a long time. Only a sustained rise in oil prices will spur alternatives. Economic law is hard to get around.
...ahhh, to lick their salty tears once they realize their complicity...
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
And the Left, as usual, has unwittingly set the table.
Great site!
If you have a moment, please visit my blog and check out my coverage of the brave protestors in:
Crash of the Lynne Stewart 'Gloat Party'
We crashed Lynne Stewart's 'GLOAT PARTY' last night at the Judson Memorial Church downtown across from Washington Square Park. It was a rousing affair to say the least and it came as a complete surprise to the Lynne Stewart folks who were throwing her a celebration called 'Ode to Joy and Struggle' thanking everyone for their support over the 4 years during her trial and also to 'unite for the struggle ahead'. 'Struggle' they say? As in 'Mein Kampf' maybe? As in 'jihad' too perhaps..?

It's too late ducky. You can't start celebrating the Lupercalia once you've invited real wolves to the table.
Geee, I can almost picture them all now...
Let me run this by everyone and see if it rings true:
First some background. Middle East experts friendly to the administration (Daniel Pipes, Bernard Lewis, and Martin Kramer) cautioned Bush that following the invasion with a program for democracy is not wise given Arab culture and history. Now many others on the right like Krauthammer are questioning whether the Iraqis has the right stuff for a liberal democracy. One holdout is the left-winger Peter Beinart at the New Republic.
My prediction is that by 2008 Republicans will declare the Arab Muslims hopeless but the Democrats will flip-flop to a “humanitarian” save-Iraq policy that commits us for another 8 years. They’ll call it “our Darfur.” Sounds plausible?
Na-a-a-h. This is the Left's "Mission Accomplished" (cut-and-run) moment. The Iraqi's have already been deemed hopeless by the ISG Report, and the grim reaper now has 3-4 million future innocent Sunni souls to collect, courtesy of ducky, Reid, Pelosi, & Murtha. Like the Indochinese after Vietnam, they're all now martyr's to the cause of moral "humanism". Just "ice" prevails over Just "is". The hot dish of Just-is has cooled to Just-ice. The Moqtada will first re-heat it, then serve it up cold...
He does, after all, have millions of innocent Shi'a lives to avenge... his father's... his brother's. Mercy is not something the former Ba'athists will now receive. Reconciliation? LOL!
It's tme to start nailing hands to tables and break out the power tools....
Peace will soon come to Iraq, Jason. Only, it's going to be the kind of peace you find in a cemetery.
aow - this found at the january, 2007 issue of zola, specifically page 29 article by claude r. marx:

Does this make you hot, jb? Am I making you Ayn randy?
Morning, AoW--Blogger keeps crashing my browser, so I can't seem to get much done today. I've reinstalled AOL, I've reloader my adapter, defragged, cleaned my caches, my drives--I don't know what else to do....
I have an article where they show the maps Jimmy Carter, not only STOLE, but he ALTERED them on purpose just to make the Jews look like the bad guys! Can you believe it? Mark Steyn and Jonah Goldberg wrote the funniest pieces about the ISG!
You have a nice day...
The terrorists do as much for islam as Stalin did for Communism.
Any votes for a 50 cal. round dipped in lard for Abu Abdullah and who ever takes his place? Don't cut and run, change tactics/rules of engagement.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
LOL!
The idiot can't even hack Blogger... for a laugh, go to:

But I do owe him a tribute for tryin'...
...I need a new fan, especially one who likes mouldy oldies almost as much as I do...
I enjoy giving them a new twist!
Kiddies,
Don't try these tricks at home. It takes years to master the art of tautology, but only seconds to master the art of tauntaology. ;-)
Farmer,
Well, aren't you the wit? Those avatar changes send a subliminal message. Well, maybe not subliminal.
Anyway, you brought a smile to my day. And I could use a smile! On top of this miserable virus, my bathroom is still down--the remodeler caught the stomach malady as well. But tonight--ah, tonight!--I'll have a whirlpool tub up and running. I hope.
Sounds like you may be on the mend. Me, I'm just hacking up furballs, left and right... mostly left though.
Jason,
My prediction is that by 2008 Republicans will declare the Arab Muslims hopeless but the Democrats will flip-flop to a “humanitarian” save-Iraq policy that commits us for another 8 years. They’ll call it “our Darfur.”
Maybe. But some form of cut-and-run will still happen. The left won't be satisfied otherwise.
The Islamic revival is still in the growing phase and that will continue despite anything we do.
Appeasement is seen by most Muslims (who yearn for the caliphate, as unreasonable as it is) as fulfilling the will of Allah, and a strong military stand on the part of the West will serve to unite Muslims even further as such as stand feels into their mindset of victimology. That victimology can be relieved (in their own eyes) only by more diligent devotion to the will of Allah. It's a vicious circle, and the West has played into their hands by not fighting a decisive war from the get-go.
Farmer,
I'm definitely improving. Just a few minutes ago, I took out a London broil from the freezer. Finally, an appetite for something other than soup and crackers.
I'm getting better just in time to start the Christmas frenzy!
Farmer,
No more furballs in this house. The Maids came again yesterday.
And when will we wake up and stomp these roaches once and for all? I fear we won't stir until it's too late.

Farmer John is not talking to himself when he addresses the commenter whose name-calling resulted in the deletion of a comment above. A comment by this same individual to another thread was allowed to stand because said comment did not involve dishing out an insult to the blogmistress here.
good blog
I figured my own name calling ought to go too. My initial reaction was kind of a quick-draw. As for the rest, I think it stands on its' own.
Farmer,
You are the decent sort. I had to look that word up, BTW.
Farmer,
Besides, you weren't directing the derogatory term at me. ;)
The left is actually cheering for the enemy … or smiling in their typical smug manner.
Back when David Horowitz was a Commie writing the Leftist "Ramparts" magazine, one of his cover lines was, "Alienation is when your country is at war and you want the other side to win."
Horowitz came to his senses. The vast majority of the Left never did. And they're the same people we're hearing from today.
Abu Ayman sounds like a perfect little Democrat: neither can tell the difference between a giant and a sewer-generated disease.
Anonymous,
Thank you for stopping by.
On June 15, 2007, on The Gathering Storm Radio Show, I interviewed David Yerushalmi of the Mapping Shari'a Project. The interview begins a quarter past the hour.
I also did a post devoted only to the project. You can find details at my new site.
Muslims who desire to live under shari'a law should go to an Islamic nation instead of trying to force such a code into and onto Western civilization. After all, shari'a law and Western law are incompatible, particularly because shari'a law's intention is to establish an Islamic theocracy.
SANE accepts donations. All of us should be ponying up!

It's horrible to see the West so filled with Islam history ignoramuses even as Muslims close in on them. Where can they learn the key facts online free? The Historyscoper, just click http://go.to/islamhistory
