2000 July - December

Islamic Terrorism Timeline

9/13/2006

- July 1, 2000: In the Philippines, 13 Christian pastors were kidnapped by the Sword of Islam, the Abu Sayyaf Group. These members of the Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry were abducted while attempting to visit with the ASG and negotiate the release of other hostages the Islamic terrorist group was holding. The Bibles and prayer leaflets they brought with them were burned.

While it is clear that these Christians meant well, it's past time folks prepare before they engage. Ignorant of Islam, these men just made a bad situation worse.

- July 2, 2000: Muslims don't have an exclusive on stupidity. The Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility for starting a fire that damaged a chicken farm in North Vernon, Indiana. The perpetrators set fire to a feed mill at the farm which stored food for the chickens. Authorities found slogans like, "Polluter, animal exploiter, your turn to pay," along with the initials "ALF" spray painted at the scene. The group claimed responsibility for the incident in a fax sent to reporters a few days after the attack.

- July 2, 2000: In the Islamic land of Indonesia, a bomb exploded in the office of the Attorney General and two other bombs were found and defused before they could explode. They were powerful enough to destroy the building had they performed as planned. Investigators said the bombs were of a "military type," though they were not planted by the military.

- July 5, 2000: Speaking of bombs, a fire bomb was used to destroy a government office in Istanbul, Turkey. The same day, militants fire bombed a bus in Istanbul.

- July 6, 2000: In Athens, Greece, militants bombed the shop of Evangelos Lioris for the third time in less than a year. Since "evangelos," meaning "beneficial message," is term which underlies the English translation "gospel," it is not hard to see Islam acting in this context.

- July 7, 2000: While no one took credit, Islam's fingerprints are all over the three bombings in Spain today. The first used liquid explosives which targeted a newspaper - the La Razon in Madrid. The second bomb was in a backpack left in the offices of the daily newspaper EL Correo in Vitoria. The third bomb was mailed to journalists working for ABC in Madrid.

Later this same day, a large bomb was placed under the car owned by the daughter of a restaurant owner in Guipuzcoa.

- July 9, 2000: In, Russia, a bomb exploded in a market in capital of North Ossetia. The IED had been filled with metal fragments. Six innocent people were killed and 18 were wounded.

- July 9, 2000: Abu Sayyaf militants kidnapped four French and one German journalist in the Philippines who were covering the 12-week-old hostage crisis. After two months, two of the hostages, Jean-Jacques Le Garrec and Roland Madura escaped from their captors and found there way to Manila. They claimed that the pressure put on Abu Sayyaf by foreign governments gave them the opportunity to escape.

- July 10, 2000: In India, Muslim militants bombed the St. Peter and Paul church. The attack took place as Christians were leaving the sanctuary.

- July 11, 2000: In Germany, Islamic terrorist Murat S., a former leader of the Turkish DHKP/C, was arrested.

- July 13, 2000: In Lahore, Pakistan a bomb placed in a garbage dump near a bus stand detonated, wounding five people.

- July 16, 2000: Vying for control of Tajikistan, Muslims used a bomb to kill political rivals - Shamsullo Jobirov and Makmadsaid Ubaydullayev, a Security Minister and parliament candidate, and the mayor of Dushanbe.

The same day, in the same place, the same religion bombed a car used by European Union officials, killing one person and injuring four others, including three children. The vehicle had markings indicating that it was property of the European Union's ECO Humanitarian Bureau.

- July 16, 2000: A massive bomb exploded in an open-air market in the Southern Philippines, killing two people and wounding 33 others. The damage was done in a public market in the predominantly Christian town of Kabacan in North Cotabato. Investigators believed that the attack was perpetrated by the Muslim group, Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) because the device used was similar to other bombings linked to these terrorists.

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is a splinter of the Moro National Liberation Front. Following a failed 1977 accord between MNLF and the Philippine government, MNLF's second-in-command broke away from the terrorist club and Hashim Salamat created the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. But other than a new name and a new leader, philosophical foundations of the splinter group were identical to its predecessor.

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front demanded a fully independent Islamic state in the southern Philippines. In advance of this goal, the MILF used terrorist attacks and kidnapping throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, deciding to use deception and strike on two fronts, by the late 1990s the MILF began negotiations for an autonomous Muslim region. This is akin to Yasser Arafat's and Bill Clinton's Oslo Accords creating an autonomous region within Israel that would be controlled by the PLO.

In June, 2001, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and Philippine president Gloria Arroyo signed a peace agreement. It would be among the dumbest things this woman would ever do. Not only were many horrendous terrorist attacks claimed under the name of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front after June 2001, an increasing number of attacks were perpetrated by the MILF's new affiliates: the Abu Sayyaf Group and Jemaah Islamiyah. It was as if the Philippine president didn't understand that the problem was Islam and that the MILF was just one of a thousand symptoms.

This ignorance is what led President Gloria Arroyo, in December 2004, to announce that she had formed a joint organization to clear the southern Philippines of criminal elements and operatives by using the MILF terrorist organization. She obviously didn't know that the Abu Sayyaf Group and Jemaah Islamiyah that she wanted removed were partners in crime and religion with the MILF. It was like America partnering with the PLO to rid the PA territories of HAMAS and Islamic Jihad, only worse since the Filipino organizations were intertwined and not rivals.

Since we have already detailed the nature of the Abu Sayyaf affiliate, let's examine Jemaah Islamiyah, which means the "Islamic Community." It was formed in Indonesia and Malaysia when two Muslim clerics, Abdullah Sungkar and Abu Bakar Bashir, fashioned a salafi fundamentalist Islamic organization to terrorize people into Submission/Islam. Both men were supporters of Darul Islam, a salafi or fundamentalist movement grounded in the five earliest Islamic sources - the Qur'an, Sira, Ta'rikh, and Hadith Collections of Bukhari and Muslim. That would made Darul Islam indistinguishable from Wahhabi Islam, which is extraordinarily similar to Shia Islam. The two Muslim clerics wanted nothing less than the creation of an Islamic theocracy in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

In 1978, Sungkar and Bashir were arrested in Indonesia for subversive activities - treason. Upon their release, the men left Indonesia for Malaysia and settled in the Indonesian-expatriate community in Johor. No longer living in Indonesia, the two men openly preached their Qur'anic ambition of creating a unified Islamic state in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and across all of Southeast Asia to also include Singapore, Brunei, East Timor, and Thailand.

Being a fundamentalist Islamic organization, Jemaah (or Jamaah) Islamiyah, meaning the Community of Islam, actively advocated the use of terrorism to attain its political and religious goals. By the late 1990s, not so coincidently coterminous with the faux peace accords of the MILF, JI was busy recruiting and training Muslim Jihadists throughout all of Southeast Asia for the express purpose of perpetrating acts of terrorism. Jemaah Islamiyah demonstrated the ability and willingness to inflict significant casualties on innocent civilians and those they believed to be allied with "Western or Christian interests." JI's terrorist violence, often brutal and fatal, continues to this day. On October 12, 2002, Jemaah Islamiyah inflicted the horrific Bali bombings, killing over 200 people. On October 1st, 2005, Jamaah Islamiyah perpetrated a triple-suicide bombing which murdered another 20 innocent souls.

In August 2003, the Community of Islam's leader, Hambali (real name: Riduan bin Isomoddin) was captured. It made no difference. Jamaah Islamiyah remains an active and significant terrorist threat in all of Southeast Asia.

To better understand MILF, ASG, and JI, let's take a closer look and the Community of Islam's founders, Muslim clerics Abu Bakar Bashir and Abdullah Sungkar. In 1978, both Islamic clerics were imprisoned because of terrorist acts they had committed as part of the Commando Jihad group. Since membership in the CJ got these religious Muslims into trouble, when they were released from prison they formed the even more violent and fundamentalist Islamic group, Jemaah Islamiyah. Following a subsequent arrest, imprisonment and eventual release in Indonesia, Bashir and Sungkar started corrupting Malaysian Muslims in 1993.

Upon Sungkar's death in 1999, Bashir took over as the Community of Islam's spiritual leader. Bashir was quickly ousted from power by younger Jamaah Islamiyah members who considered him to too weak and moderate. Bashir also formed the International Mujahideen Rabitatul, or Council of Holy Islamic Warriors in 1999 and Majelis Mujahideen Indonesia in August of 2000.

Bashir was arrested for connections to a number of terrorist attacks and a failed assassination plot against Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri. Like so many good Muslims this Islamic cleric has served many prison terms for bad behavior. He was arrested again in late 2002 shortly after the Bali bombings because of his Mujahideen Council's involvement in this attack. Released, he was jailed again in August 2003, following the bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, for which al-Qaeda has also been implicated. In March 2005, Having been forced out of his Jamaah Islamiyah for being too moderate, Bashir was acquitted of involvement in the Marriott attacks but he was convicted of being part of an "evil conspiracy" (better known as Islam) in relation to the Bali bombing, and was given a 30-month term in prison. After his sentence was reduced for good behavior, Bashir was released from jail in June 2006. Keep in mind, Malaysia and Indonesia are Islamic states and in such places terrorism is good and terrorists are heroes.

Jamaah Islamiyah's political manifesto, dated May 1998, states: "The people of Southeast Asia must live under Islamic rule and Sharia Law in a pan-Islamic state," referred to as "Daulah Isamiyah." Abu Bakar Bashir told the Herald Sun: "Muslims and non-Muslims will only fee save under Islamic law.".

- July 17, 2000: In Syria, the son of Assad was sworn in as Warlord, I mean, President. As the late dictator Hafez Assad had planned, his son Bashar Assad took over his post, beginning a seven-year term as Syria's 16th head of state. There are 50 states in which Muslims represent a majority of the population. There isn't one of them that boasts a stable democracy. Islam isn't named submission for nothing.

- July 23, 2000: In Pakistan, the Land of Pure Islam, Muslims bombed the market in Jinnah, killing six and injuring 22. Later that day, they bombed a police station in Quetta. Confirming that they were Muslims following Muhammad's example, the bombed Brewery Road in Quetta.

- July 24, 2000: In East Timor, a UN peacekeeper was shot and killed following a conflict with armed men. The UN soldier was a member of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. They had kept the peace in the war-torn land without incident for almost a year.

This murder, however, like the 250,00 that preceded it in East Timor, was rooted in Islam and perpetrated by Jamaah Islamiyah. Muslims in Indonesia did their worst to force an Islamic theocracy on the Roman Catholics who lived here.  When they didn't get their way, they destroyed everything in site.

- July 24, 2000: Six people were killed in India when Muslims bombed a bus. Allah's troops injured ten in the attack on their human prey.

- July 25, 2000: A bus in Istanbul, Turkey was set ablaze with a fire bomb.

- July 25, 2000: Muslim gunmen linked to the Abu Sayyaf Group (the Sword of Islam) and its leader Raddulan Sahiron, kidnapped CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) cameraman Percival Cuenca and his wife Maan Macapagal, a researcher. The two were kidnapped after meeting with Abu Sayyaf leaders in an attempt to cover the continuing hostage crisis. The kidnappers threatened to kill the Christian man and his wife if the ransom were not paid.

- July 26, 2000: An Abu Sayyaf grenade attack on a Jolo café injured 18. The same day a grenade attack on a cathedral injured one in the southern Philippines.

- July 28, 2000: Arafat rejected a Camp David peace settlement offered by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and brokered by Bill Clinton, which would have led to the creation of a Palestinian state out of Israel. The offer gave the Muslim Marxist terrorist 98% of what he had demanded. But because all of Jerusalem wasn't handed over to him, and since every Jew was not yet dead, the savage refused the American sponsored agreement.

Camp David had to be disinfected for fleas and HIV following the misadventure.

- August 1, 2000: The Philippines were quickly becoming the central focus of Islamic terrorism. On this day, an Islamic bomb exploded at a carnival, killing 3 and wounding 36. The MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front, or more accurately, Murderous Islamicists Lie and Fight) was suspected.

- August 1, 2000: Also in the Philippines, the Abu Sayyaf Group abducted three Christian construction workers who were hauling sand for a company in Patikul.

Because they were too poor to meet the terrorist's ransom demands, they were made to dig their own graves. The mayor of Patikul, having a relationship with the Islamic group, negotiated their release under undisclosed terms.

- August 1, 2000: In the mass murdering Islamic killing fields of Indonesian, the Philippine Embassy in Jakarta was the target of a bomb attack. The explosion killed two people and injured 21 others, including the Ambassador Leonides Caday. The bomb damaged the ambassador's residence and exploded as his car approached.

Indonesian and Filipino leaders blamed Filipino Muslims from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). On August 3rd, the Mujahideen Division Khandaq claimed responsibility for the bombing. The group was associated with MILF and obviously Islam.

This became the only terrorist attack claimed by the Mujahideen Division Khandaq, which strongly suggest that a pseudo name was chosen by the MILF so as not to endanger the political deception they were perpetrating against Filipinos. It is not unlike the PLO/PA/Fatah wearing the Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades label when they terrorize and the other name when they extract political concessions.   .

Initially, the professional quality of the bomb led Indonesian and Filipino authorities to lay blame on the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG). MILF and ASG representatives denied involvement, as is their custom, even for attacks that are known to have perpetrated by them.

As Islamic fundamentalists, MILF's chairman was known to be a close friend of Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid. And that is why the MILF didn't attack the Islamic Indonesian government but instead the secular Philippine ambassador.

The Mujahideen Division Khandaq asserted that the attack was executed as a show of "solidarity" to Muslim militants in the Mindanao province of the Philippines, who had stepped up their terrorist attacks in recent months. In their release, the Mujahideen Division Khandaq actually claimed to be a splinter group of MILF based in Kuala Lumpur.

The invocation of "Khandaq" in the group's name is a reference to the historical Battle of Khandaq or the Trench. In this failed siege, the Meccan merchants who had been repeatedly terrorized and robbed by Muhammad and the first Muslims went to Medina to put an end to the violence but they were thwarted by a ditch dug in the sand.

- August 2, 2000: In India, Islamic militants killed Hindu pilgrims on the way to a shrine. They also attacked civilians in several villages, killing 102 in Kashmir.

- August 4, 2000: Algerian Muslims demonstrated their animosity to free speech by bombing a radio and television station in Kasro.

- August 5, 2000: Indonesian Muslims attempted to use a fuel bomb to destroy the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta.

- August 6, 2000: In Russia, a booby-trapped car exploded killing 2, wounding 3 in Dagestan.

- August 8, 2000:  Again in Russia, a bomb near Moscow's Pushkin Square killed 12, injuring 97. Chechen Muslims were responsible. Shamil Basayev, the murderous mind behind the upcoming Beslan school barbarism, planned the assault.

- August 10, 2000: In India, the holy Islamic warriors of Hizbul Mujahideen admitted to a car bomb attack which killed 15, injuring 30 in Srinagar.

- August 10, 2000: A bus was firebombed by nine masked militants in Portugalete, Spain, starting a avalanche of terror. An insurance office was bombed in Renteria. Two city buses were set ablaze in San Sebastian, Spain and one in Bakio. These masked youths went on to burn two more busses in Mallabia. They firebombed four financial institutions in the Vizcaya Province, a bank in Elorrio, another bank in Pamplona, a school in Vitoria, a cash dispenser in Eibar, and eight cars in Lizaso. Over the course of one week these hooded men also firebombed a bank in Bilbao, a post office in Durango, a bank in Mungula, the home of a civil servant in Vitoria, and 16 city buses in Bilbao. The targets were mostly Basque, including the bombing of the University of the Basque in San Sebastian, so they were probably not the perpetrators. It all appeared to be a foreshadowing of the horrible Muslim riots that would come to haunt Paris.

- August 12, 2000: In the Kara-Su Valley, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan took four U.S. citizens hostage.

- August 12, 2000: Land mines exploded under public buses in Kashmir killing 6 and wounding 42 in an attack claimed by the Islamic terrorist gang Hizbul Mujahideen - the Party of Holy Warriors.

- August 12, 2000: In Uzbekistan, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan took 4 Americans hostage in the Kara-Su Valley. Fortunately, these Americans were able to escape.

- August 14, 2000: Algerian Mohktar Hauari was extradited from Canada to the U.S. on bomb plot charges. It was suspected that he had links to the Braille Institute.

- August 16, 2000: Hindus were attacked with a bomb placed outside the state assembly building in Lucknow. The same day three school children and their teacher were wounded by a bomb detonated in a Kanpur school.

- August 17, 2000: Two bombs were detonated in a downtown Riga shopping center in Estonia. One person was killed and 35 were wounded.

- August 17, 2000: People opposed to choice murdered six election monitors in the town of Liben in eastern Ethiopia. Their car was struck by a rocket. Islamic terrorist groups were active in the area and were suspected.

- August 18, 2000: An Azerbaijani Airlines plane en route to Baku from Nakhichevan was hijacked by Mekhti Guseynli, a man who had been a leader in the Nakhichevan opposition to the Musavat political party. He demanded changes to Azerbaijan elections and to be taken to Turkey where he wanted to talk with a fundamentalist Muslim politician. He, several of his associates, and opposition journalists were arrested in connection with the hijacking.

- August 22, 2000: A Turkish Republican People's Party activist was shot four times and killed in his Bodrum office.

- August 27, 2000: Muslims bombed the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia.

- August 27, 2000: HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Group) suicide bomb maker, Abu Hanoud, was detained by Palestinians after a botched Israeli raid. The same day a bomb planted at a busy Jerusalem intersection was found and defused.

- August 27, 2000: In the Philippines, the Abu Sayyaf Group (Bearer of the Sword) freed six hostages after Libya paid a ransom of $6 million, one million dollars for each of them. Those who had not been ransomed, remained hostage. The Marxist Muslim Libyan dictator had found a new way to fund Islamic terrorism and look good doing it. Who says all Muslim OPECers are stupid?

- August 28, 2000: Flush with success, Abu Sayyaf, following in Muhammad's footsteps, abducted an Islamic U.S. citizen, Jeffrey Schilling, demanding a ransom payment and the release of fellow Islamic terrorist, Ramzi Yousef, and two others. Ramzi Yousef was responsible for the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing and the first World Trade Center bombing. He was a very good Muslim.

Following the celebration over the release of the six hostages the previous day, an Abu Sayyaf Group representative said that Jeffrey Schilling had been kidnapped and taken to the ASG headquarters in Sulu. The spokesman also said that Schilling was a spy for the CIA - which was silly since the CIA has no agents embedded in the fundamentalist Islamic world.

Now, catch this bit of irony: United States officials said that while Schilling had been courted by the CIA as a potential informer, he had double crossed the agency and had elected to serve the Abu Sayyaf's cause. You see, Jeffery Schilling, a 24-year-old African American, was a member of now fundamentalist Islamic crime organization known as the Nation of Islam. Jeffery was indoctrinated at the University of California at Berkley - an institution supportive of fundamentalist Islam. In fact it was a near eastern studies major that Schilling converted to Islam. Even Schilling's family scoffed at the notion that the young Muslim was working for the CIA against Islam.  .

The American sources confirmed that he had himself "kidnapped" on purpose. Playing along, the Abu Sayyaf terrorists threatened to behead Schilling if their demands were not met, but since trading one terrorist for another wasn't appealing, they continued to move back the deadline for the beheading and they changed their demands. A month later, after being attacked by Philippine troops, a group of Abu Sayyaf left Jolo island with Jeffery Schilling in tow. In late November, the threat to behead Schilling was renewed amongst considerable laughter. The Muslim kidnapped by Muslims returned to America eight months later which means the ASG knew he was neither a foe nor CIA.

In a related subject, Muhammad was keen on the idea of kidnap for ransom and of deception. I have said this many times but have not yet offered substantial proof - at least in this timeline. In order to correct that ommission, consider this summary of Badr - the raid that caused a prophet to profit.

To set the terrorist raid that ultimately established the religion of Islam in context, Muhammad had heard that merchants from his hometown, the Quraysh from Mecca, were returning from a business trip. "Muhammad summoned the Muslims and said, 'This is the Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out and attack it. Perhaps Allah will give it to us as prey." (Ishaq:289) These lines forever damn Islam's pretense of religiosity.

The motivation was piracy - not religion. The historian reports: "Abu Sufyan and the horsemen of the Quraysh were returning from Syria following the coastal road. When Allah's Apostle heard about them he called his companions together and told them of the wealth they had with them and the fewness of their numbers. The Muslims set out with no other object than Sufyan and the men with him. They did not think that this raid would be anything other than easy booty." (Tabari VII:29) These armed raiders wanted to steal assets and kidnap folks. Since the prophet's sole motivation was piracy, not piety, Islam cannot be a religion. And if it is, we need to canonize Black Beard and call him a prophet.

The very fact the first adherents of this perverse doctrine recorded this stunning admission of guilt reminds me of the Nazis and the way they chronicled their atrocities in World War II. Immoral, hateful, and violent doctrines like Islam and Nazism corrode men's minds and consciences to the point they become unable to differentiate right from wrong. Ridding the world of those they view as inferior, stealing their possessions, became part of their mission and thus became good - deeds worthy of heroic lore and scripture.

As further proof that the Badr raid was an act of terrorism, another Hadith reports: "Allah did not admonish anyone who had not participated in the Ghazwa [raid] of Badr, for in fact, Allah's Apostle had only gone out in search of the Quraysh caravan so that he could rob it. But Allah arranged for the Muslims and their enemy to meet by surprise. I was at the Aqabah pledge with Allah's Apostle when we gave our lives in submission, but the Badr battle is more popular amongst the people. I was never stronger or wealthier than I was when I followed the Prophet on a Ghazwa.'" (Bukhari:V5B59N702) That pretty much sums up Islam. So that you know, at the Pledge of Aqabah, the first Muslims "Pledged to wage war against all mankind." It was the opening salvo of the Islamic Era.

Upon hearing that Muhammad was on the prowl, the Quraysh sent a delegation out to protect their people and business assets. This explains why the Qur'an said Muslims were contemplating a "choice" between taking "easy booty" and fighting for doctrinal supremacy. "They did not suppose that there would be a great battle. Concerning this Allah revealed a Qur'an: 'And you longed that other than the armed one might be yours.'" (Qur'an 8:7).

Before I comment, I'd like you to have the benefit of the entire verse: Qur'an 8:7 "Behold! Allah promised you that one of the two parties would be yours. You wished for the unarmed one, but Allah willed to justify His truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the unbelievers." To "cut off the roots" is to kill. This makes Allah a murderer and Muhammad a pirate. One was after booty, the other blood. But it was worse than that. They inspired a gang of armed men to attack a defenseless civilian enterprise, one owned by a rival. As such, they were terrorists. And there is no way to discount the source of this condemning scripture as it's confirmed in all three Hadith collections and in the Qur'an.

"The people answered the Prophet's summons; some eagerly, some reluctantly." (Ishaq:289) "When Abu Sufyan heard that Muhammad's Companions were on their way to intercept his caravan, he sent a message to the Quraysh. 'Muhammad is going to intercept our caravan, so protect your merchandise.' When the Quraysh heard this, the people of Mecca hastened to defend their property and protect their men as they were told Muhammad was lying in wait for them." (Tabari VII:29) The world of Islam is upside down. Just judges summon people to court who are suspected of committing a crime like armed robbery, murder, or grand theft. Islam's prophet was summoning Muslims to commit these very crimes.

The skirmish in the sand between merchants and misfits is worth reading but I'm not going to repeat it here. If you are interested, read the "War Made a Profit (and a Prophet)" chapter of Prophet of Doom. We are going to pick up the story as it devolves into kidnapping for ransom.

The next section of the Ta'rikh begins under the headline: "The Division of the Booty: The Messenger of Allah gave orders concerning the contents of the camp which the people had collected, and it was all brought together. Among the Muslims, however, there was a difference of opinion concerning it. Those who had collected it said, 'It is ours. Muhammad promised every man that he could keep the booty he took.' Those who were fighting said, 'If it had not been for us, you would not have taken it. We distracted the enemy from you so that you could take what you took.' Those who were guarding the Prophet for fear the enemy would attack him said, 'By Allah, you have no better right to it than we have. We wanted to kill the enemy when Allah gave us the opportunity and made them turn their backs, and we wanted to take property when there was no one to protect it; but we were afraid that the Meccans might attack the Prophet. We protected him so you have no better right to it than we have.'" (Tabari VII:64 & Ishaq:307) These covetous and militant marauders were the antithesis of Christ's disciples.

According to Muhammad's gospel: it's good to kill for money, but it's bad to argue about it later. "When we quarreled about the booty we became very bad tempered. So Allah removed it from our hands and handed it over to His Messenger. He divided it equally among the Muslims. In this matter there can be seen fear of Allah, obedience to his Messenger, and the settling of differences." This was the proposition and the conclusion. Islam was about money. Islam made men mad. Muhammad and Allah were partners. Muhammad was to be obeyed. Allah was to be feared.

Muslims were enticed into submission. The Deceiver was ever ready to help his pal pile up the booty. "The 'Spoils of War' Surah came down from Allah to His Prophet concerning the distribution of the booty when the Muslims showed their evil nature. Allah took it out of their hands and gave it to the Apostle." (Ishaq:307) The Spoils of War surah is the Qur'an's 8th. It is presented in context in the "War Made a Profit (and Prophet)" chapter.

"Allah's Messenger came back to Medina, bringing with him the booty which had been taken from the polytheists.... There were forty-four captives in the Messenger of Allah's possession. There was a similar number of dead." (Tabari VII:65).

"Muhammad halted on a sandhill and divided the booty Allah had given him equally. Then Muslims from Medina met him at Rauha. They congratulated him on the victory Allah had granted. But one of the warriors replied, 'What are you congratulating us about? We only met some bald old women like the sacrificial camels who are hobbled, and we slaughtered them!' The Apostle smiled because he knew that description fit." (Ishaq:308) By any historical or rational criterion, the battle of Badr was meaningless - a tussle between militants and merchants. And yet Muhammad turned it into a miracle from Allah. And he used it to resurrect his dying doctrine.

The prophet's blood lust led to these chilling lines..."When the Apostle was in Safra, Nadr was assassinated. When Muhammad reached Irq al-Zabyah he killed Uqbah. When the Holy Prophet ordered him to be killed, Uqbah said, 'Who will look after my children, Muhammad?' "Hellfire,' the Apostle replied, and he was killed." (Ishaq:308 & Tabari VII:65) No Geneva Convention here.

Since I promised you proof of kidnapping for ransom, Libyan style, here it is: "Sawdah [the prophet's second wife] said: 'I went to my house, and the Messenger was there with Abu Yazid [a Meccan prisoner]. His hands were tied to his neck. I could not restrain myself when I saw Yazid like that and I shouted out to him. So Muhammad asked, "Sawdah, are you trying to stir up trouble against Allah's Messenger?" This brought me back to my senses.' 'Bind Abu Aziz tight for his mother is rich and she may ransom him for a great deal of money,'" (Tabari VII:66 & Ishaq:309) Allah's Profit proclaimed.

Further confirming that Islam was all about the money: "Among the captives was Abu Wada. Muhammad said, 'He has a son who is a shrewd merchant with much money." The son "slipped away at night, went to Medina, ransomed his father for 4,000 dirhams." (Tabari VII:71 & Ishaq:311) There was no preaching, no Qur'an recitals, no message of salvation. Just: "Gimme da money."

"The Prophet said, 'Abbas, you must ransom yourself, your two nephews, Aqil and Nawfal, and your confederate, Utbah, for you are a wealthy man.' 'Muhammad,' Abbas said, 'I was a Muslim, but the people compelled me to fight against my will.' Allah knows best concerning your Islam,' Muhammad said. 'If what you say is true, Allah will reward you for it. As for your outward appearance, you have been against us, so pay to ransom yourself.' The Messenger had previously taken [stolen] twenty ounces of gold from him following the battle. So Abbas said, 'Credit me with this amount towards my ransom.' 'No,' Muhammad replied. 'That money Allah has already taken from you and given to us.'" (Tabari VII:71/Ishaq:312) Islam equals money, not souls. The Hadith remains transparent. "The Muslims told Abu Sufyan to pay them a ransom to free his son, Amr. He replied, 'Am I to suffer the double loss of my blood and my money? After you have killed my son Hanzala, you want me to pay you a ransom to save Amr?'" (Ishaq:313) Now you know why Muslims kidnap people today.

- August 30, 2000: In Islamabad, Pakistan the boys of Islam were bad. At least 20 retired army, navy and air force generals, including six military chiefs, were guilty of confiscating $1 billion in kickbacks in a scam related to defense contracts. The National Accountability Bureau of Pakistan has documented evidence against these officials which reveal that they have received commissions, bribes, and kickbacks in purchases of tanks, submarines, naval mine hunters, mirage fighters, and jeeps.

However, the Pakistani newspaper covering the story said that while the NAB had already launched prosecution against many politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen, it was hesitating to take action against the top military brass who were involved in shady deals because they controlled the country and were not against killing those who threatened them.

Documents indicated that the Direction des Constructions Navales International of France had made an indirect payment of $5 million to the Admiral for an over-invoiced upgrade to three Agosta B submarines. The paper said the former naval chief had left his daughter's residence in Texas for an undisclosed destination.

In another case, Commodore Shahid, former Director of Naval Intelligence, who was sentenced by a court martial to seven years of imprisonment for his alleged role in the submarine deal had been pardoned after only three months in jail.

The paper also referred to kickbacks in the $250 million Edrain class minesweeper deal. Rear Admiral Saeed left his job and migrated to Europe amid reports that there were $20 million in kickbacks paid in the controversial Mirage deal. Several retired officials, who spoke to the paper's investigating team, also alleged corruption in the purchase of 3,700 Landrover jeeps. The key supplier of the jeeps to the army was a close relative of the then serving Lieutenant-General, who was also the main decision maker in the purchase.

- September 1, 2000: A new intifada (uprising) was launched against Israel by Fatah and the PLO. Arafat continued to incite, support, and fund terrorism. And this Muslim Marxist reprobate continued to violate every provision of the Oslo Accords.

- September 1, 2000: In Indonesia, a politician's office was firebombed only thirty minutes after two other public buildings were set ablaze. At least one person was killed.

- September 3, 2000: In Lahore, Pakistan, a bomb exploded in a crowded bus station. Three people were killed and several others were wounded.

- September 5, 2000: In Pamlap, Guinea, Revolutionary United Front (RUF) militants kidnapped two Italian missionaries from a village on the Sierra Leone/Guinea border. Father Victor Mosele and Father Franco Manganello were held for two months until their release in early November.

We detailed the history of RUF on May 1st, 2000, revealing how a group of Sierra Leoneans traveled to Libya to received terrorist training under the Muslim Marxist Qadhafi regime. One of these men, Foday Sankoh, formed the RUF in 1991, and went on to murder 75,000 of his own people in the name of Marx and Muhammad.

Brutal, inhumane tactics became the Islamic group's trademark. Civilians were usually the target, either slaughtered by the hundreds or left with their hands or limbs cut off in Qur'anic fashion (read Qur'an 5:33). The RUF also became notorious for its use of child soldiers, many of whom it kidnapped and conscripted, often forcing the children to inject cocaine before sending them off to fight.

- September 6, 2000: In Tokat, Turkey, three security force personnel in Tokat were attacked by gunmen. One was killed and the other two were wounded.

- September 7, 2000: Back in Lahore, Pakistan, a bomb went off in the Dharampura market. Two people were killed and ten were injured by the blast.

- September 9, 2000: The most entertaining terrorist group may be the Earth Liberation Front, or ELF. They claimed responsibility for starting a fire at the Monroe County Republican Party Headquarters, in Bloomington, Indiana, causing minor damage to the exterior of the building. The ELF released a statement that read: "I-69 is just one example of the willingness of the rich to bleed the Earth and the working class to fulfill their money lust." I didn't know Mother Earth bled.

- September 10, 2000: On the Island of Pandanan in the Philippines, three Malaysians were abducted from a resort by members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (the Sword Bearers) and were taken to Jolo Island.

On September 26th, a man was arrested for abetting the abductions. And on October 25th, the Philippine Military rescued the Malaysian hostages.

- September 13, 2000: A blast in the Jakarta Stock Exchange car park left six dead and 30 injured. Police blamed the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) for the blast. They would arrest over twenty-five people in connection with the terrorist attack. What's interesting is that two Indonesian soldiers were suspected in the bombing - connecting the military and the Muslim militants. Investigators believed that the Indonesian soldiers supplied weapons to GAM.

The Free Aceh Movement, like all fundamentalist Islamic organizations, seeks to establish an Islamic theocracy. They operate in the province of Aceh, located on the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are covetous of Aceh's natural gas reserves which have been exploited by the central government in Jakarta. The Islamic Indonesian regime confiscates 90% of the revenue. The GAM routinely targets natural gas facilities of Exxon-Mobil. GAM also opposes the brutal actions of the Indonesian military (TNI), which has murdered thousands and forced the mass exodus of many more from the province.

GAM is an OPEC beneficiary, receiving funding from Iran and Libya. Bakhtiar Abdullah is the leading spokesman for the Free Aceh Movement. After living in exile in Sweden for over 25 years, Abdullah returned to Aceh in October 2005. Hasan Di Tiro commands his faction of the GAM, the Aceh Sumatra National Liberation Front (ASNLF), from Nordsborg, Sweden, a suburb of Stockholm. GAM splintered when Di Tiro chose his son, Karim Hasan, to take over the organization, a choice that was challenged by Daud Paneuek. Husaini Hasan and Hasan di Tiro were both deserters from the Indonesian Army.

U.S. policy toward the GAM has been influenced by the genocide in East Timor and the current war on terror. Eager to restore links with the Indonesian military after 1999, the U.S. pressured the GAM into accepting a political settlement based on autonomy within Indonesia, assuring Jakarta that it supported Indonesian territorial integrity. Washington supported counter-terrorism training for the pro terrorist TNI - an Islamic army which has murdered 700,000 Indonesians and 250,000 Timorese.

The GAM continued to attack Indonesian security personnel and to terrorize civilians through 2005, however a peace agreement shows signs of promise. But that said, the accord is between Muslims with a long history of mass murders so there is some chance one or both parties will renege on the treaty.

- September 14, 2000: A bomb planted at the entrance of a radio station in the Philippines exploded, causing damage, but no fatalities. The bomb was planted by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). This incident was coordinated with another bomb attack in the same city, that one in front of a commercial shop.

- September 14, 2000: In the United States, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan was added to list of foreign terrorist organizations. As dumb as the Black Stone that represents Allah in the Ka'aba, the U.S. State Department said "Bin Laden ties are suspected.".

The C.I.A. has this to say regarding Uzbekistan: "Current concerns include terrorism by Islamic militants, economic stagnation, and the curtailment of human rights and democratization." These things are all related. They are the result of Islam. Ninety percent of Uzbeks are Muslims. Uzbekistan's "president" is Islam Karimov. His regime is considered to be one of the most repressive and dictatorial in the world. Islam, like Islam, doesn't tolerate dissent. But that is not to say that this Marxist Muslim isn't without friends. George W. Bush considers him an ally.

Prior to the breakup of the socialist and secular U.S.S.R, only the religion of man, humanism, was tolerated. So Muslims in Uzbekistan were unable to express themselves. But that all changed in 1999 when the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan joined forces with the Islamic Movement of Turkistan to initiate a terrorist assault on their people. It began with a bomb blast in a Tashkent market, killing a dozen shoppers. Their ultimate goal is the same as it is with Muslims the world over: to use terrorism to establish an Islamic government.

The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan in recent years has inspired attacks on U.S. soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and it has plotted attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Central Asia. In November 2004, for example, the IMU was blamed for an explosion in the southern Kyrgyzstan city of Osh that killed one police officer and one terrorist. In May 2003, Kyrgyzstan security forces disrupted an IMU cell that was seeking to bomb the U.S. Embassy and a nearby hotel in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The IMU was responsible for explosions in Bishkek in December 2002 and in Osh in May 2003 that killed eight people. The IMU primarily targeted Uzbekistani interests before October 2001 and is believed to have been responsible for five car bombs in Tashkent in February 1999. IMU militants also took foreigners hostage in 1999 and 2000, including four U.S. citizens who were mountain climbing in August 2000 and four Japanese geologists and eight Kyrgyzstan soldiers in August 1999.

- September 15, 2000: A Palestinian boy stabbed a Jewish women in East Jerusalem, wounding her severely. The following day a Palestinian youth stabbed a Jewish man in East Jerusalem, injuring him.

- September 19, 2000: It is alleged that the Hindu Sena Rashtriya Sangh Party (Hindu National Union Army Party) claimed credit for an Islamabad, Pakistan attack which killed 19 and wounded 90. All we know for sure is that a bomb was detonated in a open-air vegetable market. And to be fair to Hindus, this alleged terrorist group has no founder, no known members, no base of operation, or even a website. They had never and would never claim credit for a terrorist attack. The entire case against the "group" was an alleged phone call to the Pakistani government.

Western intelligence sources say that the deadly bomb was hidden in a crate of grapes that had come from the Islamic tribal areas of northeastern Pakistan where Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden are today. And that certainly discredits the Pakistani claim. While there is no proof, the high likelihood is that this bomb was planted by Sunnis and was designed to kill Shia.

- September 20, 2000: In Jakarta, Indonesia, shots were fired at the Australian Embassy following demonstrations outside of the premises which culminated in the burning of the Australian flag and the raising of the Indonesian flag.

The bombing occurred close to the Jolo Island, where Abu Sayyaf had been holding hostages so they were suspected.

- September 20, 2000: Japan JRA member Haruo Wako pleaded guilty to the seizures of the French Embassy in the Hague in 1974, and to the United States Consulate in Kuala Lumpur in 1975. The JRA has Islamic and Iranian ties.

- September 27, 2000: Pakistan pledged to help Russia fight terrorism after complaints that Pakistani Islamic groups had trained Chechen rebels. When agreements like this are reached between Russian and Muslim nations aspiring to build and launch an atomic arsenal, you can be reasonably assured that a reduction in terror has been traded for access to nuclear and ballistic technology.

One month after the attack, Tajik officials arrested three men in conjunction with the explosion. All three were students of a Dushanbe Islamic institute. One of them stated that they carried out the attack because they were upset that Muslims had visited the Christian mission.

- October 1, 2000: In the Philippines, nine people were killed and fifteen were injured when members of the New People's Army ambushed a medical mission in Santo Ramos, Davao del Norte.

- October 11, 2000: In Shots were fired at an Israeli ambulances that came to evacuate casualties of a traffic accident in the Hebron area.

- October 12, 2000: In Islamic Aden, Yemen, a harbor boat driven by Islamic suicide bombers rammed into the destroyer, USS Cole, killing 17 Americans and wounding 39. Many of the good Muslims who committed this crime were convicted but they were all allowed to "escape" from prison by the pro-Islamic Yemeni government. There was no military response by presidents Clinton or Bush to the attack.

The individual the CIA deemed responsible, Nasser Ahmad Nasser al-Bahawi, a.k.a., Abu Jandal, a Saudi, was once one of bin Laden's bodyguards. He was arrested in 2001, but was given amnesty by Yemen's Islamic President Ali Abdallah Saleh. The United States government is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his re-arrest and conviction, as well as for any other person who aided in the attack of the USS Cole, but there have been no takers. Muslims don't turn Muslims in and live to collect the reward.

According to witnesses, at least two men were seen on board the smaller ship right before the explosion. The blast created a 20 foot by 40 foot hole in the side of the ship and cost the United States over one billion dollars.

Six Yemeni Muslims were eventually identified as suspects. The most senior of whom told investigators that he received a call from a man in UAE giving him instructions for the bombing. Al-Badawi identified the man as Mohammed Omar al-Harazi. Other suspects were identified as two Yemeni police officers, Walid al-Sosurouri and Fatha Abdul Rahman, who provided fake identification papers to the bombers.

Yasser al-Azzani and Jamal Ba Khorsh were recruited to video the attack, but somehow failed in the execution. The final suspect arrested was Ahmad al-Shinni. The mastermind behind the attacks, Mohammed Hamdi al-Ahdal, was arrested in Yemen after police surrounded his home in November 2003. Another suspect, Rahim al-Nashiri, was arrested in 2002 and is the only one being held in U.S. custody.

The trial of the bombers began on July 7, 2004. On September 29th, a judge sentenced al-Badawi and al-Nashiri to death for the attack (later changed to 15 years), while the other men received short jail terms. All the defendants appealed their sentences but it wouldn't matter since they all "escaped.".

Ultimately, 23 convicted Islamic terrorists in Yemeni jails, all of whom had acknowledged complicity in the USS Cole killings or the attack on the French oil tanker Limburg (one crewman killed and 90,000 barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Aden), escaped by digging a 450 foot tunnel from the prison into the woman's section of a nearby mosque. Arriving in the mosque on Thursday afternoon, they escaped with the crowd following Friday afternoon prayers.

So here is the bottom line, one cannot dig a 450-foot tunnel without lots of help and plenty of people knowing about it. Nor can one believe that the whereabouts of 23 prisoners was unchecked for 24 hours. And lest I forget, the prison guards were all Islamic and they all worked out of Yemen's military intelligence headquarters. That suggests that whatever data the U.S. shares with them is going directly to the terrorists. Even the U.S. has acknowledged that the escape could not have occurred without the help of many Yemeni officials.

Yet the Bush administration, living in the land of make believe, claims that the Yemeni government is an ally in the war on terrorism. It is almost a dumb as partnering with the Saudis and Pakistanis - the world's leading terrorist manufacturers, or equipping a 250,000 Muslim strong army in Iraq.

- October 13, 2000: Three Jews were wounded in Haifa a by a Russian Muslim who was protesting the lynching of a Muslim in Ramallah by the PA.

- October 13, 2000: In Yemen, the British Embassy in Sana was hit by a bomb less than 24 hours after the suicide attack against the USS Cole. A group identified as Mohammed's Army claimed the attack, citing Israeli actions against the Palestinians. This attack coincided with weeks of increased conflict in Jerusalem and widespread anti-Western demonstrations in Muslim countries.

Mohammed's Army is an Islamist fundamentalist group based in Yemen that was especially bomb happy in the fall of 2000. The first reports on their existence surfaced after they claimed responsibility for the October 12th bombing of the U.S.S. Cole.

- November 12, 2000: In Islamic Indonesia, an explosion terrorized people near a Christian meeting hall in the capital of North Sumatra where hundreds of people were gathering to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Indonesian Council of Churches. The blast killed one Christian woman and injured several other people. Police suggested that an Islamic Free Aceh Movement (GAM), was responsible because of the nature of the device used.

- November 13, 2000: Palestinians shot and killed an Israeli at the entrance to the Qatif Bloc of settlements.

- November 13, 2000: Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli car and bus at the Hamishtara Habriti junction north of Ofra. These murdering Muslims killed three Jews and injured eight more. The Salah-al-Din Battalions claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Salah al-Din Brigades are the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC). With regard to being fundamentalist Muslims and thus hating Jews, and being murderous terrorists, the Salah al-Din gang is like the terrorist organizations such as HAMAS and Hizballah. However, they differ from their Muslim brothers in that the PRC does not maintain both an armed organization and a separate network of social and political services.

The PRC continues to be an active terrorist force in Israel, where their main method of attack has been firing rockets from the Gaza Strip into towns in southern Israel and Jewish settlements inside Gaza. The group was implicated in the October 15th, 2003 attack that killed several of Americans in the Gaza Strip using a roadside bomb.

- November 13, 2000: Palestinians resumed firing into Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood. The same day, they fired at an Israeli vehicle near the village of Huwareh. As a result, settlers from Halamesh north of Ramallah fired warning shots above a Palestinian bus driving to Dair Abu-Mesha'l.

- November 13, 2000: Muslims don't like Western banks so they placed explosives in three branches in Istanbul today. The reason for this dates back to Islam's formation. The fist Muslims didn't work so they became dependant upon loans from Jews in Yathrib, today's Medina. When the Jews charged interest, as was reasonable, the unreasonable Muhammad condemned both Jews and interest in his Qur'an. Then, of course, as tyrants are wont to do, Muhammad stole every Jewish home and business. He captured all of their children and sold them into slavery. He and his goons raped the women, condoning sex with slaves in the Qur'an. And then the first Muslims murdered every Jewish man and boy over the age of twelve.

- November 14, 2000: Palestinian Muslims fired shots into a public bus from a car that passed by in near the Tapuah junction.

The bomb had been placed under the driver's seat of their vehicle. Saudi authorities played down political and religious motives for the attack, citing a potential personal vendetta. Right, blowing up cars of healthcare workers and murdering their wives is a common form of interpersonal behavior in places unaffected by Islam.

British authorities had issued travel warnings to citizens in Saudi Arabia following the outbreak of a second Palestinian intifada (armed uprising) in Israel. Five weeks before the attack on Rodway, a Saudi Muslim threw a bomb at the British Embassy in Sana'a, Yemen.

- November 18, 2000: In Indonesia, a small explosive device was deployed in a hotel in West Jakarta.

Frustrated, a settler from Humash opened fire in the Palestinian village of Selit al-Daher near Jenin, wounding four. He had warned the villagers of an impending attack the day before.

- November 23, 2000: In the Devil's Den of Saudi Arabia, four people were injured when a bomb planted in their car detonated as they drove along Riyadh's Kind Abdul Aziz Street.

Also killed was Jacqueline Gill, a British woman, and an unnamed Irish healthcare worker who served at the same Royal Military Hospital as did engineer Christopher Rodway, the victim of an earlier car bomb.

- November 27, 2000: For a little levity, I bring you another installment the ongoing saga of socialist secular humanists behaving like terrorists. The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) claimed responsibility for setting fire to a $2.5 million dollar home in Niwot, Colorado. The home, which was being built at the time of the blaze, was nearing completion. Authorities found this written at the scene, "Viva la revolution! The Boulder ELF burned the Legend Ridge mansion. We know that the corporate developers' campaign is guilty of a $6 million election buyout."

The Ummah (meaning community of Muslims in Arabic) Liberation Army is the political wing of the Ummah Party, the main political opposition group in Sudan. The Ummah Party, headed by Sadiq al-Mahdi (meaning Guided One in Arabic who is considered to be the Islamic Messiah), was the ruling party before the 1989 coup that entrenched the more fundamentalist and murderous National Islamist Front.

The ULA was responsible for destroying an oil pipeline in Somalia in 1999. Their leader, a two-time Prime Minister of Sudan, Sadiq al-Mahdi proved to be ineffective in his brief time in power in 1966 and 1986. Overthrown in a 1989 coup, al-Mahdi has been the Ummah Party leader and commander of its military wing, the Ummah Liberation Army.

The banks were in the Sisli, Kasimpasa and Kagithane neighborhoods of the city. Even if the bombings were Marxist and not Muslim, it is important for you to know that the Turkish military bans all political parties that they don't agree with, making those who belong, criminals. That is hardly democratic.

The Jordanian Islamic Resistance said in a public statement that they were: "the group of the hero Ahmad al-Daqamsa." Daqamsa was a Jordanian soldier who opened fire on a busload of Israeli children in 1997, killing seven. Only in Islam would such a reprehensible soul be a saint.

- December 6, 2000: While Islam has a virtual monopoly on terror, the reign of terror is not yet their exclusive domain.

- December 1, 2000: Again in Saudi Arabia, a British national was seriously injured when he picked up an object next to his car that exploded.

They said that it was in "sympathy for prisoners on hunger strikes in Spanish jails.".

- December 19, 2000: While I understand that most Palestinian suicide bombers are students, and that these students have murdered and mutilated thousands of innocent Jews, the answer isn't opening fire on Palestinian students at the Beit Enoun elementary school in Hebron. Even though no one was killed and even though there were no reports of injury, that was wrong.

- December 19, 2000: In Turkey, two people were injured when a fire bomb was ignited in a café in the Adana province.

In their claim of responsibility, the ELF stated: "There are over 6 billion people on this planet of which almost a third are either starving or living in poverty.

These atheist and socialistic buffoons don't realize that the economic system they hate provides the things they desire while the system they advocate creates the conditions that abhor.

- December 20, 2000: Algerian Muslims killed two and wounded seventeen using a bomb hidden in a taxicab. Tiaret was a frequent site of attacks by the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC).

- December 22, 2000: In Delhi, India, Muslim militants stormed the Red Fort, killing three people with automatic weapons. According to police, the Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba (LT) was responsible. The Red Fort, the site of the murders, is a national landmark and a symbol of Indian independence.

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) is the armed wing of the Pakistan-based Islamic religious organization, Markaz-ud-Dawa-wal-Irshad (MDI). MDI is an anti-Christian missionary organization formed in 1989.

The LT is one of the three largest and best-trained terrorist groups fighting in Kashmir against India. In 1994, the LT became one of the primary recipients of funds from Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan's intelligence agency, after the Jamaat-e-Islami and the Hezbul Mujahideen terrorist organizations refused to accept new conditions attached to ISI money.

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba agreed to support Kashmir's forced annexation with Pakistan, to attack the Hindus in the Jammu Division, and to assist in training Muslim youth in the rest of India. Along with the Army of Muhammad and Al Badr, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba is thought to be responsible for a majority of the violence in the State.

In December 2001, the United States designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. LT then reorganized in an attempt to separate its military-sponsored terrorist actions in Kashmir from its Islamic religious undertakings in Pakistan. The LT's agenda is outlined in a pamphlet titled "Why are we waging jihad?" It commentary includes the restoration of Islamic rule over all of India. In harmony with the Pakistan government and the ISI, it propagates Islamic fundamentalism based on the Wahhabi Salafi sect. Lashkar-e-Tayyiba challenges India's sovereignty over the State of Jammu and Kashmir. It seeks to bring about a union of all Muslim majority regions in countries that surround Pakistan.

LT is a member of Osama bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against the US and Israel, as well as of the United Jihad Council. And that is a problem since its chief sponsor is the Pakistani government.

Zafar Iqbal founded Lashkar-e-Taiba along with Hafiz Mohammed Saeed and Zaki ur Rehman Lakhwi. Iqbal left the organization with Saeed in late 2001 to work for Jamaat-al-Dawat, Saeed's Islamic preaching organization, where he is the group's director of education.. Jamaat-al-Dawat operates several Islamic schools, known as madrassas, in Pakistan, indoctrinating thousands of students to hate and kill Christians and Jews.

Hafiz Mohammed Saeed was an academic by profession. Some sources report that Saeed leads Jamaat al-Dawat's Islamic seminary organization. Saeed has been arrested by Pakistani authorities several times, most recently in February 2006 after leading a violent demonstration against the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed inspiring Islamic violence.

Today, Maulana Abdul Wahid Kashmiri is the official leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba, though some reports assert that the group is still led by the spiritual insights of Hafiz Muhammed Saeed. Saeed officially relinquished leadership of LT to Abdul Wahid after the former's arrest in December 2001. The arrest prompted Saeed to split his organization into an armed militant wing and a purely religious wing devoted to preaching.

- December 24, 2000: A total of 15 Christians were killed and at least 96 Christians were injured in wave of bombings in churches across Islamic Indonesia in what authorities believed was an organized attack against the country's Christians by the Muslim majority. The attacks were also thought to be intended to destabilize the nation.

In Jakarta alone at least seven churches were damaged in separate blasts. Bombs also exploded in Batam, West Java, Sumatra, and several other cities. All of the bombings occurred between 9:00 and 9:30 pm. Those wounded and killed included children and several policemen. The bombings were so savage they condemned even by the Muslim fundamentalist group, Jihad Warrior.

One of the two Muslim bombers who was wounded by his own blast, admitted to attending planning meetings for the bombing and said that the bomb set-up included yellow powder, carbon, an alarm clock, and a cell phone. The detonation was done using a timer and a cell phone.

- December 30, 2000: In the Philippines, six bomb blasts in Manila left 22 people dead and 100 more injured. Each bomb used ammonium nitrate. Investigators suspected that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) was responsible for the coordinated attacks.

The MILF denied involvement and instead blamed the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) for the attacks - interesting in that ASG is associated with MILF. On August 2nd, 2001, two men were arrested and implicated in connection with all of these bombings. These men, Mamasao Naga and Abdul Pata had ties to the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terrorist organization. Then in May of 2003, a detailed terrorist named Saifulla Unos who was involved with the MILF admitted to leading the murderous attacks in Manila. So the moral of the story is that Islam was responsible and JI, MILF, and ASG were affiliated with the murderous religion.

The first blast occurred in a coach at an overhead railway station north of Manila, killing 22 people and wounding 47 others, two of which died in the hospital from their injuries. The second blast occurred across the street from the US Embassy, wounding nine people. The third explosion occurred in the financial district of Makati, across the street from a hotel.

A fourth blast occurred at a cargo handling facility at Manila's international airport. No one was injured in this incident. The fifth explosion occurred on a passenger bus in a northern suburb, killing one person and wounding 17 more, many of whom were in critical condition. The final incident occurred near a shopping center in Makati, but there were no injuries in this explosion.  .

- December 31, 2000: While Muslims are clueless as to when the year begins or ends as a result of their god's idiocy, they celebrated the end of the solar year by attacking the Jewish village of Ayn Yabrud.

Concluding Thought, 2000: Almost 69 pages of text were required to provide a summary of Islamic terrorism in 2000. And while that sounds like a lot of needless religious violence, it is a fraction (less than 29%) of what is to come. A stunning 239 pages will be required to chronicle Islam's behavior in 2003 - after the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. I share this with you to convey an important truth - the War on Terror has been counterproductive.

The most glaring insight in this regard are the nations Afghanistan and Iraq themselves. In 2000 there were no reported terrorist attacks in Afghanistan and only two non-lethal events in Iraq. By 2003 there will be multiple deadly attacks every day. The increase in terror is so profound it cannot even be calculated.
