2001 May - August

Islamic Terrorism Timeline

9/20/2006

- May 1, 2001: In Bosnia and Herzegovina Muslims attacked the moderate, multi-ethnic Social Democratic Party. Two days a mob attacked a mosque.

- May 2, 2001: In the birthplace of Islam, a letter bomb seriously wounded an American doctor in a hospital in the eastern Saudi city of Khobar. Gary Hateh, who was 40, thought the parcel contained a video cassette. It exploded as he opened it.

Hateh had been working at Saad Medical Center for six years. Saudi officials continued to blame an intra-Westerner turf war over the illegal sale of alcohol for the attacks. People not living in denial recognized that the attacks were the work of Islamic militants seeking to discredit the Saudi government and drive foreigners from the Kingdom.

The problem was Islam. Fundamentalist, Wahhabi Islam was taught in every Saudi school, it is preached in every Saudi mosque, it was professed in every Saudi media outlet and by every government official. Islam had caused Saudis to hate Christians and Jews and to fly airplanes into America's buildings. .

- May 3, 2001: In Macedonia, an overnight curfew was imposed in Bitola after two days of rioting. While the strife was billed as Macedonians against Albanians, it was really Muslim Albanians against secular Macedonians. The riots followed the funerals of four local policeman killed in an ambush near Tetovo.

A new group claimed credit for organizing the uprising, the Macedonian Revolutionary Organization. The secular political group was named after the late 19th century Macedonian rebels who opposed the imposition of Islam during Ottoman rule. The group remained active after the First World War, seeking to undo the partition of Macedonia ordered by the Treaty of Versailles. After being successfully suppressed by the USSR during the Cold War, Macedonian nationalism has experienced a resurgence in the years since the Iron Curtain fell, as the Balkans have become a hotspot of religious tension.

- May 6, 2001: In India, a bomb squad defused an explosive device near a private school in Potushahi.

- May 7, 2001: In Nigeria, three oil experts from the Houston-based Boots and Coots International Well Control were briefly taken hostage. They had been sent to Nigeria by Shell Oil to stop a spill which occurred in late April. Company officials said that the spill was due to sabotage. No demands or conditions of release were made public during the kidnapping.

Muslim militants in the area had a history of taking action against oil companies. In the past, they accused the oil industry of degrading their country and shortchanging them financially.

- May 7, 2001: In Turkey, the Great Islamic Raiders' Front, a fundamentalist Islamic terrorist organization, warned authorities of an explosive device that was planted at the headquarters of the Cekul Foundation, an environmental group in the Beyoglu neighborhood of Istanbul.

- May 8, 2001: In India, Muslim militants abducted four villagers from the Hindu Sangla village who were later killed along with three others who had asked for their release.

- May 8, 2001: The U.N. Security Council claimed that the Taliban was selling opium and heroin to finance terrorist training facilities. In reality, the opposite was true. During the time the religious Taliban was in control of Afghanistan, poppy production was sharply reduced. But once the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and removed the Taliban from power, opium and heroin production quickly retuned to pre-Taliban levels. As before, it was used to support Islamic warlords throughout the country.

- May 8, 2001: A Jewish settler guarding Itamar's orchards was shot. Police suspect Palestinian militants.

- May 9, 2001: In Israel, an American and his Israeli friend were found stoned to death in a cave in the West Bank. Islamic Jihad and Hizballah-Palestine claimed responsibility for the savagery.

- May 11, 2001: Palestinian militants fired two mortars at Jewish settlements in northern Gaza. The mortars hit Kibbutz Nahal Oz and Kibbutz Nir Am.

- May 11, 2001: In Manila, an explosive device in a pre-election rally injured 13 people and damaged as many cars.

- May 11, 2001: In Jammu, Kashmir, six Hindu villagers were decapitated and three more were stabbed by armed Muslims trained by al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Afghani trained Muslim militants had been very destructive in the area. The Pakistan government had sponsored Muhammad's Army in hopes that Kashmir could be terrorized into Islamic submission.

- May 12, 2001: Palestinian militants fired three mortars into the Jewish settlement of Neve Dekalim in the Gaza Strip.

- May12, 2001: Two days before elections in the Philippines, Congressman Marcia Punzalan and two security aides were killed while attending a campaign rally for Punzalan's wife.

- May 13, 2001: In Lebanon, an explosive device destroyed a restaurant and cars parked nearby.

- May 13, 2001: In Istanbul, Muslims placed a bomb in a trash can near a bus stop, injuring one. A child, Riza Cicek was wounded in the hands when he tried to reach into the trash can to get his ball.

- May 14, 2001: An Israeli citizen was shot on the road between Ramallah and Jerusalem.

- May14 , 2001: In Bosnia and Herzegovina, an explosive device detonated near the Social Democratic Party and New Croat Initiative offices in Novi Travnik. No one was hurt, but the building was destroyed. Note: Though not confirmed, this attack was probably perpetrated by Bosnian Croats.

- May 15, 2001: InIdit Mizrahi was driving from Rimonim to Jerusalem when Muslim militants shot at her car. Her father and brother were injured in the attack. The same day, four mortars were fired from Gaza into Kibbutz Nir-Am.

- May 18, 2001: Just before noon, a 21-year-old Muslim militant Mahmoud Ahmed Marmash, from the West Bank town of Tulkarem, blew himself up at the entrance to the Hasharon shopping mall. Marmash was wearing a heavy blue coat over his suicide belt. When he tried to enter the mall he was stopped by a security guard at the entrance. Determined to kill for Allah, he detonated his bomb, murdering seven Jews injuring least fifty more. Imagine the nature of a religion that would inspire a person to do such a horrible thing thinking it was good.

At a political and religious rally in Gaza later this day, HAMAS claimed responsibility for this mass murder, knowing that they were following the example of Muhammad. Proud of what they had done in the name of Allah and Islam, the following day, HAMAS distributed a videotape of suicide bomber to news agencies. In that tape, Marmash read from the Qur'an and stated that he would carry out this attack to "...avenge the killing of the people of Palestine, its women, elderly and children.".

I have documented every terrorist act in Israel. While the truth doesn't matter to Muslims, it matters to me. The murderers of women, the elderly and children had been and would continue to be Muslim Palestinians like this sub-human Islamic suicide bomber. Muslims chafe when Islam is called a terrorist religion, but they have no one to blame but themselves. While civilized people morn at the loss of innocent life and chafe at terrorism, Muslims celebrate death and honor terrorists. Islamic morality remains the antithesis of Judeo-Christian values.

- May 18, 2001: Maulana Saleem Qadri, a Pakistani Muslim leader, was shot when his car passed through a narrow street on the way to a mosque for Friday prayers. Five other people were killed in the assault. Qadri's two sons were injured but the gunmen managed to escape.

- May 19, 2001: In Yemen, an explosive device in an open-air weapons market detonated, causing much property damage and a number of human fatalities. Some reports have put the death toll at thirty people. Muslims buy weapons like others by consumer electronics.

- May 19, 2001: In Ranchi, India, the Maoist Communist Center demonstrated that socialist secular humanists remain murderous. Their members opened fire on five girls after they were unable to find their father. The attack left two young children dead and the remaining three severely injured.

- May 19, 2001: In An explosive device that detonated at a café in central Jerusalem caused considerable damage to the café and surrounding buildings.

- May , 2001: In Ambon, Indonesia, Muslims detonated a a bomb in the Spice Islands.

- May 20, 2001: One person was killed and thirteen were injured when a Muslim militant trained by al-Qaeda threw a grenade into a crowd of people in Srinagar.

- May 21, 2001: Palestinian militants fired two mortars into a Jewish community in the Gaza Strip.

- May 21, 2001: A Russian human rights activist who loudly criticized Russia's war in Chechnya was shot by Muslims outside a Chechnya village.

- May 24, 2001: A limousine owned by a local Russian television company was blown up outside the Uni-Kanal TV office.

- May 24, 2001: In Bosnia and Herzegovina, an explosive device was thrown at the home of a Bosniak.

- May 24, 2001: An explosive device was detonated in Turkish-controlled Cyprus. It started a fire. The target of the explosion was the Marxist Avrupa newspaper which had been openly critical of the Turkish armed forces.

- May 25, 2001: On the anniversary of Israel's unilateral troop withdrawal from South Lebanon, a car bomb exploded outside a bus station in Hadera, injuring sixty-five Jewish civilians. Both Islamic suicide bombers, Osama Darwish (21) and Ala Sabah (22) from Jenin were killed by their Qur'anic device.

Since murder and mutilation are central to Islam, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Jerusalem Squad, claimed responsibility for this suicide car bomb attack that was carried out to commemorate Israel's withdrawal. Another suicide car bomb exploded in Netzarim on this day.

Other than scale, there is absolutely no difference between driving a car into a crowd of innocent Jews and flying a plane into buildings crowed with American workers. Both terrorist acts were the result of Islam.

These words come directly out of the Qur'an's "Spoils of War" surah: "Allah has sent you from your homes to fight for the Cause. Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words: wipe the Infidels out to the last. I shall fill the hearts of the Infidels with terror! So smite them on their necks and every joint, and incapacitate them, for they are opposed to Allah and His Apostle. Whoever opposes Us should know that Allah is severe in retribution. The Infidels will taste the torment of Hell. So when you meet them in battle do not retreat, for all who turn away from fighting will bring the wrath of Allah on themselves and their abode will be Hell. It was not you who killed them, but Allah who did so. You did not throw what you threw. Allah did to bring out the best in the faithful." Using this reasoning, it was the Islamic god, not Muslims, who flew the planes into the World Trade Center."So, fight them till all opposition ends and Islam is the only religion.".

Now you know the truth. Allah wants infidels "wiped out and terrorized." That makes war and terror mainstream Islam. And Allah was just getting warmed up."If you meet them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would be a lesson for those who come after them, that they may be warned. Surely the Infidels cannot get away. Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster, that you may terrorize the enemies of Allah.".

Reading Allah's orders out of the Qur'an's 8th surah, imams preach:"O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will kill a thousand Infidels, for they are a people devoid of understanding." This is the math of terror. It is possible because infidels are ignorant of Islam. And you should know, the Qur'an defines "Infidels" in the 5th surah. "They are surely Infidels who say Christ, the Messiah is God." (5:72).

So as not to be accused of unfairly singling out a less-than-peaceful surah from the Qur'an, listen to how Allah recruits suicide bombers in the 4th surah: "Those who barter their life in this world for the next should fight in the way of Allah; whether he is killed or victorious, a glorious reward awaits." "Urge the believers to fight...to keep back the might of the Infidels." "Seize them and kill them wherever they are." "Muslims who sit idle are not equal to those who fight in Allah's Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has exalted those who fight for Islam.".

The Islamic Sira proclaims: (Ishaq:587) "Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.".

Then consider this quote from the Saudi ruling family's favorite imam, al Buraik. He's not only licensed, he's atop the pecking order. Prior to a telethon hosted to enrich the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, this esteemed cleric said, "I am against America. She is the root of all evils and wickedness on earth. Muslims, don't take Jews and Christians as allies. Muslim brothers, do not have any mercy or compassion on them, their blood, their money, or their flesh. Their women are yours to take, legitimately. Allah made them yours. Why don't you enslave their women? Why don't you wage jihad? Why don't you pillage them?".

Do you suppose the licensed Saudi cleric was corrupting Islam? Sorry. It's Allah who commands Muslims not to befriend Christians and Jews, for he wants them killed so he can use their bodies to stoke hell's fires. (Qur'an 5:51) "O believers, do not hold Jews and Christians as your allies. They are allies of one another; and anyone who makes them his friends is one of them." (Qur'an 2:10) "As for those who deny Islam...they shall be the faggots for the Fire of Hell." Islam's god is a spirit of an entirely different color. (Ishaq:327) "Allah said, 'A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.'" The Saudi imam has correctly interpreted Islam's message. (Bukhari:V5B59N512) "The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive." (Qur'an 33:26) "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before.".

Eighty percent of the mosques in America and the West were built and are staffed by the Saud warlords. They also provide their terrorist manufacturing facilities with their reading material. The official Qur'an for the English speaking market bears the stamp of the Fahd Foundation. In it, right below Qur'an 2:190, the Qur'an's first mention of Jihad, you'll find this passage: "Jihad is holy fighting in Allah's Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad, Islam is established, Allah's Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad, Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.".

There is nothing peaceful about Islam. Muhammad's dogma breeds ruthless killers. At his direction Muslims will continue to terrorize the world until there are no more non-Muslims. So that you might know what Islam does to men, I have organized 2,000 Islamic scriptures by topic in the "Muhammad's Own Words" appendix. Here are some exerpts from the Fighting, Terror, War, and Jihad sections: (Ishaq:576) "Allah and Muhammad humiliated every coward and made our religion victorious. We were glorified and destroyed them all. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle's squadron advanced into the fray.".

(Tabari IX:69) "Arabs were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah's helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.".

(Muslim:C20B1N4597) "The Prophet said at the conquest of Mecca: 'There is no migration now, but only Jihad, fighting for the Cause of Islam. When you are asked to set out on a Jihad expedition, you should readily do so.'".

(Qur'an 61:4) "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His Cause." (Ishaq:300) "I am fighting in Allah's service. This is piety and a good deed. In Allah's war I do not fear as others should. For this fighting is righteous, true, and good.".

(Bukhari:V4B52N63) "A man whose face was covered with an iron mask came to the Prophet and said, 'Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first?' The Prophet said, 'Embrace Islam first and then fight.' So he embraced Islam and was martyred. Allah's Apostle said, 'A Little work, but a great reward.'".

(Bukhari:V4B53N386) "Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: 'Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.'".

(Qur'an 47:4) "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.".

(Ishaq:315) "It was so criminal, men could hardly imagine it. Muhammad was ennobled because of the bloody fighting. I swear we shall never lack soldiers nor army leaders. Driving before us infidels until we subdue them with a halter above their noses and a branding iron. We will drive them to the ends of the earth. We will pursue them on horse and on foot. We will never deviate from fighting in our cause. Any people that disobey Muhammad will pay for it. If you do not surrender to Islam, then you will live to regret it. You will be shamed in Hell, forced to wear a garment of molten pitch forever!".

(Ishaq:208) "When Allah gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the second Aqaba contained conditions involving war which were not in the first act of submission. Now we bound ourselves to war against all mankind for Allah and His Apostle. He promised us a reward in Paradise for faithful service. We pledged ourselves to war in complete obedience to Muhammad no matter how evil the circumstances.".

Equipped with this information, you may form some important conclusions. Islamic and Western politicos and clerics are purposely deceiving us. The truth isn't hidden, nor is it hard to find. Our media is clueless, willfully ignorant. And the cost is high. Good Muslims will continue to wage Jihad until we stop them by eliminating their means and motivation.

In that this suicide bombing was a foreshadowing of what would happen to America in three months, Let's examine the organization which trained the bomber and then deployed him.

Harakat al-Jihad al-Islami Fi Filastin, or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, currently operates in Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Iraq, and previously operated in Egypt and Jordan. Like HAMAS, Islamic Jihad is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafi Sunni Islamic religious movement that originated in Egypt. They seek to impose by force fundamentalist Islamic social, moral, legal, educational, religious, and political ideologies on Israel and the world.

The Palestinian variant is only one faction within a loosely organized, highly secretive group of Islamic Jihad movements that span the entire Middle East. For example, Egyptian al-Jihad, was much larger but it merged into al-Qaeda. And interestingly, Palestinian Islamic Jihad is now sponsored by the Iranian and Shi'a Hizballah.

The PIJ was founded in the late 1970s by a group of fundamentalist Muslims living in Egypt. Led by Fathi Shaqaqi and Sheikh Abd al-Aziz Awda, they believed that the Muslim Brotherhood had become too moderate. Inspired by the Shi'a Islamic revolution in Iran, the PIJ blended Sunni religious fundamentalism and Shi'a political revolutionary thought into its ideological agenda.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad believes that the annihilation of Israel is a prerequisite for recreating a pan-Islamic empire. The PIJ stresses that the Islamic-Israeli conflict is not a national dispute over territory but rather a worldwide religious conflict. The group rejects any political or diplomatic solutions to bring peace to the war they have initiated. Palestinian Islamic Jihad believes that jihadist violence will inspire Muslims to destroy Israel and conquer the rest of the world. They believe that they are following Muhammad's example and Allah's orders.

The PIJ initially operated out of Egypt, but after the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in 1981 by fundamentalist Muslims, the leadership was exiled to the Gaza Strip. In the early 1980s, Palestinian Islamic Jihad carried out a series of vicious attacks on Israelis.

During the first Palestinian Intifada that began in 1987, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad leadership was exiled to Lebanon. This allowed many Islamic Jihad leaders to establish direct contact with Iranian clerics by way of the Islamic Republic's embassies in Beirut and Damascus. PIJ operatives soon began training in Hezbollah camps in Lebanon, under the supervision of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Islamic Jihad terrorists stationed in Lebanon also carried out some joint operations with Hezbollah against Israelis during the 1990s.

While Shi'a Muslims have been conditioned to see Sunni Muslims as insufficiently Islamic, the simple truth is that apart from the leadership structure and a few holidays, there is no difference between a fundamentalist Shi'a and a Salafist Sunni. The five oldest Islamic sources, the Qur'an, Ishaq's Sira, Tabari's Ta'rikh, Bukhari's and Muslim's Hadith, were all initially written under Shi'a influence in Baghdad in Islamic Persia. That means that Shi'a Islam is Salafi Islam, and Salafi Islam forms the basis of Sunni Wahhabi Islam.

While we are on the subject of a Sunni terrorist organization transforming into a Shi'a terrorist group, it's important to recognize that Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran are now essentially one country. The political and religious leadership either comes from Iran or they are influenced by Tehran. You could call it a crescent from Babylon to the Promised Land.

Surrounding this Shi'ite crescent on the east is Pakistan, on the south, Saudi Arabia, on the west, Egypt, and in the north, Turkey. These fiefdoms form the heart and soul, the mind and fuel, of Sunni Islam. And while on a personal level, the Sunni and Shi'ite conflict gives the impression that Islam is a religion divided, understand that at the warlord and cleric level there is a consensus when it comes to most every important issue - including killing Christians and Jews en route to establishing a pan-Islamic empire.   .

With militants in Lebanon, in 1989, the leadership of Islamic Jihad moved their headquarters to Damascus, where it has remained ever since - something it also shares with Hizballah. The Damascus PIJ office controls funding, engages in recruiting, and coordinates terrorist operations. In addition, it is widely known that Syria allows Iranian weaponry to pass through its territory en route to Palestinian terrorist groups such as PIJ.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad strongly opposed the 1993 Oslo Accords because they elevated Fatah and PLO at the expense of their movement. Like HAMAS, they attempted to derail the peace process by committing a number of terrorist attacks against Israel.

Israel dealt the PIJ a temporary blow in 1995 with its assassination of Shaqaqi in Malta. However, with the beginning of the al-Aqsa Intifada in September of 2000, Islamic Jihad sprang back to life. Since 2000, it has claimed responsibility for countless terrorist attacks in Israel against Jews. In part, their "success" is a measure of Islamic Jihad's coordination with other Islamic terrorist groups such as HAMAS and Hizballah and a radical increase in Iranian OPEC funding. There is a direct relationship between the price of crude and the quantity of Islamic terror.

Islamic Jihad is smaller than HAMAS because the Iranian-funded organization has an exclusive focus on terrorism while the Saudi and Kuwaiti funded HAMAS offers offer impoverished Palestinians a network of social services, including homes, financing, food, education, healthcare and religion.

Ramadan Shallah, who replaced Shaqaqi as PIJ's leader, lacks the founder's charisma which is an issue when dealing with a smaller organization. Islamic Jihad's activities have further been hampered by a series of arrests and indictments in the United States following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Also, the construction of security fences by Israel along both the West Bank and Gaza border has made it more difficult for the PIJ to execute terrorist attacks in Israel. Still, Islamic Jihad remains dedicated to the violent destruction of Israel and shows no interest in joining the political process.

Let's examine some of Islamic Jihad's leadership to better understand why these Muslims kill. Fathi Shaqaqi was born in 1951 in Gaza. He studied mathematics at Birzeit University in the West Bank and medicine in Egypt. He was inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood during his medical training. Shaqaqi practiced medicine in East Jerusalem before relocating to Gaza.

During the early 1980s, Shaqaqi and Sheikh Odeh formally established Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Shaqaqi believed that a campaign of spectacular terrorist attacks against Israel in the name of revolutionary Islam would inspire a popular revolt. He was arrested and sentenced by Israel to one year of prison in 1983, and to three years in 1986 for his treasonous activities. Israel then deported him to southern Lebanon in August 1988. He was a key player in setting up the National Alliance in 1994, a coalition of eight PLO groups, the PIJ, and HAMAS which rejected the Oslo Accords. Shaqaqi is said to have been behind several 1995 suicide bomb attacks in Israel. He was assassinated in Malta, apparently by Mossad agents on October 26, 1995. His funeral in Damascus on November 1, 1995 was attended by 40,000 people.

Ramadan Abdullah Shallah was born in the Gaza Strip and spent five years at Durham University in northern England, where he reportedly coordinated the activities of Palestinian Islamic Jihad by sending and receiving orders to and from cells of the organization in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria. From 1990 to 1995, Shallah lived in Tampa, Florida where he was a leading member of the Islamic Concern Project (also known as the Islamic Committee for Palestine). The organization distributed official Palestinian Islamic Jihad literature used to indoctrinate followers by glorifying suicide bombers as martyrs. Shallah also headed an Islamic think tank called the World Islam and Studies Enterprise (WISE) operating out of the University of South Florida. During this time, WISE sponsored the visits of Islamic fundamentalist and terrorist leaders to the United States. It's not a coincidence that the fundamentalist Muslims who murdered 3,000 Americans on 9/11 trained in central Florida flight schools. After PIJ leader Fathi Shaqaqi's death in October 1995, Shallah became the new leader of PIJ and a member of its Shura (Consultative) Council.

Born in Kuwait in 1958, Sami al-Arian grew up in Egypt before coming to the United States more than 30 years ago. Today he lives in a U.S. prison. Al-Arian was a University of South Florida professor, who was arrested by the U.S. government in February 2003 on a number of charges relating to terrorism and his alleged involvement with Islamic Jihad. Although al-Arian was never accused of directly participating in terrorism, the indictment against him listed more than a dozen PIJ attacks and 100 deaths he was accused of facilitating.

Al-Arian originally denied the charges claiming he was a martyr to free speech and a victim of anti-Muslim sentiment. In early 2006, he pleaded guilty in a secret hearing to a charge of conspiring to help a terrorist organization. Unsealed court papers have revealed that al-Arian admitted he raised money for Islamic and conspired to hide the identities of other members of the terrorist organization.

In return for the plea, prosecutors agreed to drop the remaining eight charges against him. Al-Arian will be deported from the U.S. after serving a prison sentence that amounts to a little more than time served. It was not clear to what country Al-Arian will be deported, and he currently remains in custody.

Abd Al Aziz Awda was born in Gabaly, Israel. He was a founding member and spiritual leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In addition, he was a member of the Jihad Shura Council. At one point, Awda was Imam of the Al Qassem Mosque, located in the Gaza Strip. He was designated by the U.S. as a terrorist in January 1995. A few years later, In February 2003, a U.S. Department of Justice federal grand jury in Tampa, Florida indicted Awda, among others, on 50-counts of terrorism. Abd Al Aziz Awda remains at large.

Musa Nafi was born in Egypt, and he currently resides in Oxfordshire, England. There he teaches Islamic studies at Muslim College. A 1995 U.S. search warrant described Nafi as a significant leading member of the PIJ. He wrote much of the group's early ideology. Musa Nafi was a lecturer at the World Islam and Studies Enterprise (WISE) that was affiliated with the University of South Florida. Israeli officials claim that while Nafi lived in England during the late 1980s, he was a communications link between terrorists in the field and PIJ's headquarters in Syria. In 1996 Nafi was deported from the U.S. back to England for visa violations.

Luay Saadi was a top commander in Palestinian Islamic Jihad before he was killed by the Israeli Army in Oct. 2005. Saadi was a cell leader and one of Israel's most wanted militants. His cell was thought to be responsible for several suicide bombings, including the Stage nightclub bombing in Tel Aviv in February 2005.

When one comes to know Islamic Jihad, they come to understand Islam's role in the terror the religion inspires. Islamic Jihad was born out of the Muslim Brotherhood - a Salafist Sunni organization, and yet today they are armed, financed, trained, and directed by Shi'a clerics in Iran and have become indistinguishable from Allah's Party, known as Hizballah. Their goal is to annihilate Jews and Christians en route to establishing a worldwide Islamic state. And they will infiltrate any academic, political, or religious organization anywhere in the world to achieve their means, publicly acknowledging that deceit and terror are justified, even glorified means to their ultimate end.

- May 25, 2001: A second Islamic suicidal car bomber detonated himself in Netzarim. Fortunately, the Muslim was the only one killed in the blast. The 22-year-old Hussein Abu Nasser was from the Jabalya refugee camp. He was a student of Islamic culture at the Islamic University in Gaza City. Imagine what he was taught and how it corrupted him.

The military wing of HAMAS, Izz-ad-Din al-Qassem Brigades, claimed responsibility for this attack which was designed to "sow panic among Israelis." The coordination of this suicidal car bombing with the more deadly one in the bus station in Hadera, demonstrates that al-Qaeda isn't the only Islamic terrorist group capable of coordinated suicide bombings and that all Islamic terrorist acts have a common denominator - the first Islamic terrorist: Muhammad.

- May 26, 2001: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) claimed responsibility for detonating a car bomb twenty paces from the Jerusalem police station and fifty from Mombaz street night clubs.

- May 26, 2001: In Yemen, Carl Christian Hoerencke, a German student, was kidnapped by members of the Al Ali bin Falah tribe of Muslims. His captors demanded the release of six terrorists.

- May 27, 2001: Muslim Abu Sayyaf guerrillas seized 17 tourists and three staff members from the Dos Palmas resort on Palawan Island in the Philippines. They took their victims to Basilan Island. Those kidnapped included three U.S. citizens: Guellermo Sobero and missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham.

Philippine troops fought a series of battles with these Islamic terrorists between June 1st and June 3rd during which nine hostages escaped and two were found dead. But these maniacal Muslim militants quickly replenished their stock of captives when they seized a hospital in the town of Lamitan - holding 200 Filipinos hostage.

On June 12, Abu Sayyaf spokesman, Abu Sabaya, announced that American Guellermo Sobero had been beheaded. His mutilated body was eventually found in October. Mr. and Mrs. Burnham, both American missionaries, remained in captivity until June 2002. Mr. Burnham was eventually murdered and his wife Gracia was ultimately rescued. She was badly wounded but survived.

Abu Sayyaf (Arabic for Bearer of the Sword) is a small but extremely violent fundamentalist Islamic terrorist organization. They were formed in 1991 during the faux peace process between the Philippine government and the Islamic terrorist group, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). The MNLF received substantial concessions from the Philippines for agreeing to end their terrorist attacks so they created Abu Sayyaf as their terrorist implement. While the Islamic Sword Bearer remains committed to the formation of a Muslim state in the southern Philippines, the group has recently is equal parts a criminal enterprise.

Sawing a person's neck while they drown in their own blood, and holding their severed head aloft as if it were a trophy, is so repulsive it's hard for Americans to see its religious connections. But they are there which is why Muslims decapitate their victims.

While there are many examples Islamic decapitation, the first is the most telling. Muhammad became so afraid of being exposed, he ordered his followers to assassinate anyone who criticized him. The first was a poet named Ashraf. In an illiterate society, poets were the journalists of their day. Their words swayed public opinion. Ashraf recognized that pirate and prophet were divergent career paths, and he had the courage to say so. This Hadith is from Bukhari's Collection, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 270: Bukhari:V4B52N270 "Allah's Messenger said, 'Who is ready to kill Ashraf? He has said injurious things about Allah and His Apostle.' Maslama got up saying, 'Would you like me to kill him?' The Prophet proclaimed, 'Yes.' Maslama said, 'Then allow me to lie so that I will be able to deceive him.' Muhammad said, 'You may do so.'" Islam gives Muslims a license to lie and kill.

We pick up the story on page 94 of the History of al-Tabari, Volume VII. My shorthand for this reference is: (Tabari VII:94) "Ashraf suspected no evil when Maslama cried, 'Smite the enemy of Allah!' So they smote him, and their swords clashed over him. Maslama said, 'I remembered my dagger and I seized it. I thrust it into the lower part of his body. I bore down upon it until I reached his genitals. Allah's enemy fell to the ground.'".

Ishaq revealed this in the Sira, or biography, of Muhammad: (Ishaq:368) "We carried his head back to Muhammad during the night, saluted the Prophet as he stood praying, and cast Ashraf's head before his feet. The Prophet praised Allah that the poet had been slain, and complimented us on the good work we had done in Allah's Cause. Our attack upon Allah's enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.'" Murder and terror are Islam's "good works."

"Ashraf's body was left prostrate. After his fall, all of the Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down. By Muhammad's order we were sent secretly to his home by night. Brother killing brother. We lured him to his demise with deviousness. We made him taste death with our deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet." (Ishaq:368).

"The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, 'Kill any Jew who falls under your power.'" (Tabari VII:97).

"Thereupon Mas'ud leapt upon Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim's brother complained, saying, 'Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his charity.' Mas'ud answered, 'By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.' Wherein the brother said, 'Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!'" (Ishaq:369).

This man was crediting the religion of Islam for transforming his brother into an unthinking killing machine. The motivation was purely racist: "Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country." (Bukhari:V1B1N6) Innocent blood still dripping from his hands, Mas'ud proclaimed for all the world to hear: "Muhammad ordered me to murder." Today's terrorists haven't corrupted their religion; their religion has corrupted them.

- May 27, 2001: A car bomb exploded at a busy intersection in Jerusalem. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) claimed responsibility for the attack.

- May 28, 2001: An Israeli was shot in a drive-by shooting near Nablus. According to authorities, the gunmen fled into Palestinian-controlled territory.

- May 28, 2001: An Israeli car traveling from the Neve Daniel settlement near Bethlehem in the West Bank was ambushed. Al-Fatah's Battalions of Return claimed responsibility for this attack.

- May 29, 2001: Gilad Zar, an Itamar, Israel resident, was shot and killed in a terrorist ambush by Fatah, the Muslim Marxist Palestinian political party.

- May 29, 2001: Two Israeli women, Sara Blaustein, 53, and Esther Alvan, 20, of Efrat, and four others including two Americans were killed in a drive-by shooting south of Jerusalem. The Fatah Tanzim claimed responsibility for the cold blooded murders of these men and women.

Imagine being so proud of murdering women that you would "claim credit" for it. But what's so troubling about this is that Islamic terrorists like Osama bin Laden justify their attacks on Christians and Jews by claiming "Infidels" have killed Muslim women and children. Yet it's Muslims who are doing the indiscriminate killing. In one Islamic nation alone, one in which bin Laden trained the Muslim militants himself, Islamic terrorists killed 2.7 million men, women, and children in less than 25 years. Second only to the religion of man, socialist secular humanism, Islam is the most murderous dogma ever conceived by man.

- May 29, 2001: Two American journalists were abducted by members of the Fatah Hawks in a kidnapping incident designed to send a message to the U.S. and Britain about "re-evaluating their policies" with respect to supporting Israel. Neither journalist was hurt, and they were freed after a few hours.

- May 29, 2001: Three people were killed and an additional three were wounded in a grenade attack on a market in East Timor. The Islamic genocide perpetrated against these Christians remains one of the most horrific acts of the 20th century. Muslims systematically murdered 250,000 men, women and children - one out of every three Timorese Christians. And in their retreat, Muslim militants destroyed 70% of the Island's infrastructure. If you haven't already, I implore you to read the story of East Timor beginning on November 28, 1975.

- May 29, 2001: In Kashmir, members of Hezb-ul Mujahideen fired grenades into a school. They were targeting Omar Abdullah, India's Minister of State for Industries and Commerce. As a tribute to the Indian's, they appointed a Muslim to this post. And as a condemnation of Islam, Muslims just tried to murder him.

Hezb-ul Mujahideen is the largest Kashmiri Muslim militant group, and officially supports the forced annexation of Kashmir to Pakistan. The organization is the militant wing of Pakistan's largest Islamic political party, the Jamaat-e-Islami. Most of its terrorists were trained in Afghanistan by al-Qaeda and they fought alongside the Pakistani Taliban and Afghan Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin.

Americans have been led to believe that the Muslims who terrorized the nation were prepared and indoctrinated in al-Qaeda's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, but that is not true. While some of them made a quick visit, those trained in the Afghani camps were deployed in Kashmir at the expense and mandate of the Pakistanis. That is why the Pakistan government is harboring Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda today.

Hezb-ul Mujahideen is responsible for only about 20% of all terrorist strikes in Kashmir, even though Pakistan reports estimate that it controls about 60% of the terrorists operating in the region. But all that means is that the United Jihad Council has many terrorist alternatives and that Harkat-ul Ansar, Lashkar-e-Toiba, and Jaish-e-Muhammad are deadlier per capita.

Jamaat-e-Islami is reported to have set up the Hezb-ul Mujahideen terrorist group at the prodding of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). And this is not uncommon for Pakistan's ISI. They are the sole financial supporter of the Taliban and the ISI contributed over $100,000 to Muhammad Atta, just before he led the 9/11 attacks on America. This union of ISI terrorism is why Osama bin Laden was spared when Bill Clinton fired 70 cruise missiles in his direction following the Embassy bombings in Africa. His moronic Secretary of State, Madelyn Albright, called the Pakistanis hours before the missiles arrived and they called bin Laden. If America is right (and they are not) in saying that bin Laden was responsible of 9/11, then Madelyn Albright's phone call cost 3,000 Americans their lives.

Mohammed Yusuf Shah (better known as Syed Salahuddin) was the founder and supreme commander of Hezb-ul Mujahideen. Salahuddin was also the founder of the United Jihad Council, a conglomeration of 14 terrorist organizations in Kashmir, including Hezb-ul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Mohammad. In March 2006, Salahuddin was reportedly arrested in Pakistan as he went to meet with government officials to discuss the Kashmir issue. He was released several days later and went back to work.

Salahuddin was born in Indian-administered Kashmir in 1946. A good student, he originally pursued a career in medicine before deciding to major in political science at the University of Kashmir in the early 1970s. During his time in college, Salahuddin became involved with Islamist political parties such as the Jamaat-e-Islami, and in 1987 he attempted to run for state assembly with the Muslim United Front. However, he was arrested by Indian security forces on terrorism charges shortly before the elections were held. He was named as a leader of the Hezb-ul Mujahideen in 1990. Under his leadership, the HM became an extremely violent terrorist group.

Abdul Majeed Dar was another high-ranking leader of Hezb-ul Mujahideen. As chief commander of operations, Majeed Dar was engaged in preparing new militants for terrorist actions. He oversaw recruitment, indoctrination, and training. He managed most of the group's training facilities in Pakistan.

Majeed Dar committed the unforgivable sin in Islam when he met with Indian officials to discuss a peace plan. Though his offer was withdrawn within a week of the meeting, the initiative ruined Dar's standing in the Islamic community. He split with group leader, Syed Salahuddin, sparking a terrorist on terrorist killing spree. Dar went into hiding and his ties to the Pakistani intelligence service, military, and government withered. Salahuddin went on the offensive, killing Dar loyalists and accusing Dar himself of working with the Infidels. Salahuddin expelled Dar from the group in May 2002. He was murdered in his home in March 2003 by two United Jihad Council gunman.

- May 29, 2001: In Cerkes, Turkey, Muslim militants opened fire on a bus. Yuksel Uralcin, the chief prosecutor for the area was aboard the bus when it was attacked.

- May 30, 2001: A car bomb exploded near the Ort high school. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad said that attacks like this would continue until Israel stops its "slaughter" of Palestinians in the West Bank. These boys had clearly lost touch with reality.

- May 30, 2001: Zvi Shelef, an Israeli settler, was killed in a drive-by shooting. Israeli authorities said that the "Palestinian Authority directed the attack.".

- May 31, 2001: A grenade was thrown over a fence guarding the Russian Embassy in Belarus. Authorities called the attack "terrorism" and blamed Chechen Muslims. The same day, Chechnya's Grozenskiy District governor was assassinated.

- June 1, 2001: HAMAS (the Islamic Resistance Group) claimed credit for murdering 21 Jewish teenagers. Their weapon was an indoctrinated and corrupted Muslim youth operating as a suicide bomber. He walked into a crowd outside of the Pasha disco in Tel-Aviv and sent a message. Islam exists to extinguish life and to make living miserable. More than 140 young people had their bodies burned and lacerated by the terrorist religion.

This terrorist attack defined the Islamic Resistance Party. For the rest of us, the message is resist Islam or die. By selecting a nightclub frequented by teenagers, HAMAS was attempting to kill as many innocent young civilian boys and girls as possible. Their explosive device was packed with a large number of metal objects, including shrapnel balls, nails, and screws.

I want to see this bombing in its proper context. In Israel alone, there were 19,948 acts of terrorism perpetrated by Muslims against Jews between September 2000 and December 2003. Most of them were suicide bombings or attacks with assault rifles. All of them were the direct result of Islam.

If you are a rational, moral person, you are sickened by the enormity of the carnage and suffering that occurred in this place and on this day. You see the suicide bomber and those who corrupted him as vile - as evil incarnate.

But if you are a Muslim, you see mass murder and terror as good, even heroic. Three fundamentalist Islamic groups competed with one another for credit, each claiming responsibility for the attack. The following morning, the Palestinian Hizballah reported that they had planned the mass killings. Then Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, hoping to boost their esteem in the Muslim community. They would later rescind their claim. The subsequent investigation and arrests, proved that HAMAS was irresponsible.

- June 1, 2001: Four mortar bombs were fired from Gaza into the Jewish community of Slav.

- June 3, 2001: In Islamic Bangladesh, nine Christians were killed and twenty-five were injured by Muslim militants when they detonated a bomb in a Catholic church. The police blamed "pro-Taliban Islamic fundamentalists." And that was telling since all of Pakistan's best terrorist gangs, including Hezb-ul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Mohammad, had been trained by the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistani Afghanistan.

- June 5, 2001: In Thailand, the heads of two kidnap victims (who were abducted on May 18th) were found in the Yala province. Sri Nakharo, a Thai Islamic militant group, claimed responsibility. Thailand was being ripped apart by Islam.

- June 5, 2001: In the Philippines, five off-duty American sailors and four Filipinos were attacked by a gang of militants near Mt. Pinatubo while hiking around the volcano.

- June 5, 2001: In Israel, Ahsraf al-Bardavil's car exploded. Palestinians claimed that it was an assassination attempt, but a later investigation indicated that the bombing was the result of internal terrorist infighting.

- June 6, 2001: In Karachi, Pakistan, an explosive device was detonated in the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed, one of 14 militant Sunni terrorist groups sponsored by Pakistan's ISI. Two men purchased books, then left them at the shop along with a copy of the Quran, promising to return after prayers. The bomb was located inside the copy of the Quran, which had been hollowed out.

- June 6, 2001: Palestinians threw rocks at a car as it drove past Luban, fracturing the skull of a 5-month-old baby. The incident left the child brain damaged. The following evening, a riot was sparked in protest of the senseless Islamic savagery.

- June 7, 2001: The head of the Gekhi-Chu village administration in Chechnya was shot and killed by Muslim militants.

- June 8, 2001: Where there is Islam, there is terror. In Shi'a-Sunni infighting Muslims in Kashmir murdered four women. More than fifty civilians were injured by this grenade attack on a mosque in Srinagar.

- June 10, 2001: In India, members of the United Liberation Front of Asom abducted the son of a government official and demanded a huge ransom.

- June 11, 2001: In Tajikistan, five policemen and two soldiers were involved in a kidnapping incident. They were held hostage by members of a group loyal to opposition commander, Rahmon Sanginov. The hostages were apparently taken because one of the supporters of Sanginov was arrested a few days beforehand.

- June 11, 2001: A medical clinic in Tacoma, Washington, where many abortions were performed was bombed, causing damage but injuring no one. This incident has nothing to do with Islam and everything to do with understanding the problem of Islamic terrorism.

Having fielded more than 5,000 emails from those commenting on the subject of terrorism and terrorism, the most common alibi against Islam's complicity in this universal crime is "fundamentalist Christians are no better with their bombings of abortion clinics."

So I decided to investigate just how many people had been killed in abortion clinic terrorism. What I found was that in 1993, Michael Griffin murdered Dr. David Gunn outside of his abortion facility. It was the first homicide associated with attacks on abortionists. In 1994, Paul Hill murdered abortionist James Barrett in Pensacola, Florida. On December 30th, 1994, John Salvi, a mentally handicapped and psychotic hairdresser shot wildly into clinics in Brookline, Massachusetts, killing two receptionists. He hung himself in prison.

Then, in January 1998, white supremacist Eric Rudolph bombed a Birmingham, Alabama abortion facility, killing an off-duty police officer. The last abortion related killing occurred on October 23rd, 1998, when an unidentified sniper shot and killed abortionist Barnett Slepian in his Buffalo, New York home.

That means that three abortionists and three clinic employees have been killed by anti-abortion bombers in the 29 years since Roe v. Wade made killing human embryos and unborn children legal. During this same time, Islamic terrorists have killed six-million people. You'd have to be ignorant and out of your mind to suggest that there is a moral equivalence here.

The National Abortion Federation posted its report on clinic violence from 1997 through 2003. It stated: "As in the previous four years, there were no murders or attempted murders of abortion providers or staff. There were also no bombings." A Washington Post article in 1995 confirmed: that only "two abortion clinic doctors and two clinic staff members had been killed" since Roe v. Wade in 1977, and that "there had only been 37 clinic bombings."

The most prolific clinic bomber, Eric Rudolph, was also the Atlanta Olympics' backpack bomber. He was a white-supremacist racist - not a Christian, fundamentalist or otherwise. David Hull, another prolific clinic bomber was a member of the Ku Klux Klan - a racist and Satanic sungod cult. Stephen Jordi, an active abortion arsonist, was a member of the white-supremacist Army of God. This anarchist group's "scriptures" include manuals on how to make a bomb, how to mutilate doctors, how to victimize healthcare workers, and how to be an effective terrorist. Experts believe that the neo-Nazi "Army of God" has been responsible for two out of every three clinic attacks. They are neither fundamentalists, nor Christians. They are anti-socialist fascists. Yahweh has an army in the sense of a command and control structure that serves His interests. He calls them "messengers" and we frail and mortal humans call them "angels." They are engaged in spiritual battles, not human ones.

While there are many Christian leaders of Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical persuasions, who condemn the murder of 50 million unborn infants, they all advocate peaceful protests. The bombers are almost always racist anarchists who are societal dropouts. Moreover, there isn't a single line of Yahweh's Scripture authorizing their behavior. And that sits in absolute contrast to Allah's recital where the core message is to fight and kill non-Muslims until the only religion and political system is Islam.

Most people would be astonished to know that pro-abortionists have committed nearly 500 murders since 1966 - and this does not include fatal partial birth abortions. For example, a pro-abortion advocate and Satanist, Eileen Janezic killed 51-year old pro-life activist minister and radio talk show host Jerry Simon - shooting him through a window of his home. After killing Simon, Janezic held police at bay with a pistol for six hours while spouting quotes from Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible.

In 1995 the out-spoken pro-abortionist Lavern Ward murdered Debra Evans and her ten-year-old daughter. He hacked the unborn child out of Debra's body. Then he kidnapped Debra's seven-year-old son, stabbing him to death.

In 1998, Pro-abortionist Byron Looper, who was running against pro-life state Senator Tommy Burks for a political office, shot Burks through the left eye with a large-caliber pistol, killing him. That same year, in Jackson, Mississippi the primary abortionist at the New Women's Clinic, Dr. Malachi Dehenre, murdered his wife, Nyesha, who worked with him. In 2001, Oklahoma City abortionist, John Hamilton strangled his wife, beat her over the head with a blunt object, smashing a hole in her skull, and then slammed her face repeatedly into the marble floor the their master bathroom. In 1998, a jury found pro-abortionist Alfred E. Smith guilty of murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend Deena Moody. Smith killed Deena because she refused to abort their preborn child.

In 1994, a jury convicted Los Angeles abortionist Alicia Ruiz Hanna of murder after Angela Sanchez, a 27-year-old mother of four, died at her Santa Ana abortion clinic. The abortionist tried to stuff Angela's body into the trunk of her car in full view of her children, who were watching from the abortion clinic's waiting room. In 1989, a judge sentenced Los Angeles abortionist Milos Klvana to 53 years in prison after a jury found him guilty of murdering eight newborn babies. In 1983, El Paso abortionist Raymond Showery murdered a five-pound viable baby who survived one of his third-trimester abortions. He was later charged with manslaughter after botching an abortion that killed Mickey Apodaca. So there is plenty of terrorism and murder associated with abortion clinics, but it's not being perpetrated by fundamentalist Christians nor pro-life activists.

- June 15, 2001: Two people were killed and 31 were injured by militant Muslims in a grenade attack in Iligan, a largely Christian city in the Southern Philippines.

- June 16, 2001: Bangladesh Muslims detonated an explosive device at a meeting of the ruling Awami League Party. Their bomb left 21 people dead and at least 110 injured, one of whom was a member of parliament. Police believe that the attack was a suicide bombing carried out by three of the women who were found at the sceene. On June 29, police arrested an activist of the Islami Chhatra Shibir for his involvement in this terrorist blast.

Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) is the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest Islamic political party in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Although ICS is a "legal" Islamic organization, and a member in good standing in the International Islamic Federation of Student Organisations, Islami Chhatra Shibir is an extremely violent group which has been linked to many terrorist acts like this mass murder.

Islami Chhatra Shibir was founded in 1941, along with the establishment of its parent group, the Jamaat-e-Islami. Like the Jamaat-e-Islami, the ICS is an Islamic fundamentalist organization that seeks to establish an Islamic theocracy in Bangladesh. The ICS has its main base of power in the universities of Bangladesh, most notably at Chittagong and Rajshahi. Furthermore, the group has a great deal of influence in the large madrassas, or religious school system throughout Bangladesh.

Despite claims of legitimacy from the group, the Islami Chhatra Shibir is undoubtedly a murderous terrorist organization. And while the group has been linked to a number of larger terrorist organizations inside and outside of Bangladesh, it is known for inter-Muslim fighting. There have been many raids perpetrated against other student organizations on university campuses. The ICS's main academic rival has been the Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the Awami League, a political opponent of Jamaat-e-Islami. Clashes between the BCL and ICS have caused numerous deaths, most notably in July 2000 when ICS members murdered six BCL activists in a shooting attack in Chittagong. Outside of Islamic educational institutions, the ICS has been blamed for many civilian terrorist attacks throughout Bangladesh like this one that killed 21 people.

Many news sources allege that Islami Chhatra Shibir is primarily a recruiting forum for Bangladeshi terrorist groups such as Harakat ul-Jihad-e-Islami and Jamatul Mujahideen. Some view ICS as a front for Jamaat-e-Islami terrorist operations, but the most popular political party has its own terrorist organization - Hezb-ul Mujahideen.

Like all Bangladesh and Pakistani terrorist organizations, the ICS has been directly linked to international Islamic groups such as the Taliban and al-Qaeda - both of which are financed by Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI. So the bottom line is, with the dramatic rise of fundamentalist Islam around the world, and with the dramatic rise in the price of crude, terrorism's fuel, Islamic militancy in Bangladesh has exploded over the past few years.

- June 16, 2001: A Russian World War II veteran, and non-Muslim, was shot and killed by Muslim militants in the village of Gekhi, Chechnya. He is the fifth Gekhi villager to be killed in two days.

- June 16, 2001: In Islamic Tajikistan, fifteen employees of a German humanitarian group were taken hostage in a kidnapping incident. Four were subsequently released.

- June 17, 2001: Three car bombs exploded in Chechnya's second largest city, injuring 37 people and killing two. One of the cars detonated near a police station, another outside a courthouse, and a third outside the prosecutor's office.

- June 18, 2001: Israeli citizen, Doron Zisserman, 38, was shot and killed in his car by a Fatah sniper.

- June 19, 2001: Thai police defused two explosive devices at the Vietnamese Embassy in Bangkok. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but police said they were planted by an unidentified man who arrived by taxi in the middle of the night. On October 13th, the AP reported that Vo Van Duc, a Vietnamese-American citizen, was arrested and charged with planting the bombs at the Embassy. Authorities believed that Vo Van Duc was a member of the Free Vietnam Revolutionary Group, the military arm of the Government of Free Vietnam, a worldwide organization that wants to liberate Vietnam from Communist rule.

This obviously has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism but I included it because it serves to confirm something Americans want to forget. The United States left Vietnam worse than the nation found it. Ultimately, 55,000 soldiers were sacrificed for a failed and deceitful political agenda. Conservative Christians, supporting the troops, and mouthing slogans like "don't cut and run," and "stay the course to honor those who have fallen" served to increase the carnage. With every bomb and bullet, America manufactured more Communists than it killed. The very people the nation thought it was liberating became a lethal enemy. If this sounds familiar, it is. America is reliving Vietnam in Iraq.

Most every American now knows that both justifications George Bush gave for invading Iraq were unfounded. Most even know that by every important measure, Iraq is a much bigger mess now than it was before America invaded. But they do not know that the enemy is Islam, not terrorism or that by mislabeling the enemy, terrorism in Iraq has increased from one lethal event per year prior to the invasion to one an hour after it.

Some might say that hindsight is 20-20, but I predicted this outcome publicly six months before America invaded Iraq. I wasn't a prophet, I was informed. And for the past four years I have told America, that just like Vietnam, it matters not when America leaves Iraq, or how many lives are sacrificed. This war cannot be won. Iraq will be what it currently is: a violent, oppressive Islamic republic governed by Shi'ites in Iran.

The Free Aceh Movement was using terrorism to establish an independent Islamic theocracy in the province of Aceh, located on the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It was formed in the mid-1970s. GAM funding and arms have come from Iran and Libya.

U.S. policy toward the GAM has been influenced by the Islamic genocide against Christians in East Timor, where America armed and financed the murderers of a quarter of a million people. Eager to maintain links with the mass murdering Indonesian military, the U.S. pressured the GAM into accepting a political settlement based on autonomy within Indonesia, assuring Jakarta that it supported Indonesian territorial integrity.

The attack occurred the same day that a Thai terrorist group, the Islam Pattani Mujahideen, threatened to attack targets all over the South. In response, police increased security at schools, public health offices, congested roadways, and temples.

- July 9, 2001: An Islamic suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint near the Gaza Strip. HAMAS stated that more "human bombs" would be deployed in order to avenge the death of Palestinians. Not only was the Muslim boy the only casualty, this was less than a month into a ceasefire.

- July 17, 2001: Karin Yuldashev, an advisor to the President of Tajikistan, was assassinated by the United Tajik Opposition.

The UTO began life as a political/religious organization, made up of people living in exile in Afghanistan who were opposed to the Russian government. However, UTO gained strength and recruits when it turned Islamic fundamentalist and allied itself with the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRP) and the Movement for Islamic Revival in Tajikistan (MIRT).

Said Abdullo Nuri assumed control of the United Tajik Opposition in 1994 and remained at the helm until its disbandment in 2003 when 30% of government posts were handed over to the Islamic parties. Said Abdullo Nuri was the leader of the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan, before he took control of the United Tajik Opposition. Today the terrorist is the head of Commission on National Reconciliation. Although UTO is no longer exists, Muslims continue to use violence to intimidate their opponents and under different names, Islamist elements continue to terrorize the nation.

- July 18, 2001: Palestinians fired mortars into Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem. Two mortars were fired into Netzarim, a Jewish community in the Gaza Strip. Mortars were also fired into Nahal Oz.

The same day, Israeli police discovered a bomb in a plastic bag in Tel Aviv. Continuing to terrorize their Qur'anic enemy, Palestinian Muslims fired mortars into Gilo, near the outskirts of Jerusalem. So an Israeli helicopter gunship killed the HAMAS leader who had ordered the mortar strikes. Then Muslims harboring the terrorist were injured in the strike.

Living in denial, Palestinian factions in Bethlehem said that the assassination signaled the end of the American-brokered truce with Israel. It is as if Muslims are living on another planet, one in which personal accountability is meaningless and where all of one's own faults are projected on others.

- July 18, 2001: In Yemen, an explosive device was detonated near the U.S. Embassy.

- July 19, 2001: In Turkey, Ali Hayder Tanyeri, a Kurdish businessman was kidnapped from his home by three Muslim militants. His body was found three days later with a single bullet to his head. Tanyeri had been deported from Kyrgystan because he was providing financial assistance to Kurds.

- July 19, 2001: Three mortars were fired on Kfar Drom, a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip. Three Palestinians were killed by Jewish settlers in Idna near Hebron.

- July 20, 2001: In Three Palestinians were killed and five others were wounded when Jewish gunmen opened fire on their vehicle near the West Bank city of Hebron. A Jewish extremist group of settlers called the Committee for Security claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Committee for Safety has the stated goal of keeping Israeli settlements safe.  They will on occasion exact retribution for acts of terrorism perpetrated by Palestinians against Jews, knowing that the Palestinian Authority encourages it.

Members of the Committee for Safety have been responsible for a total of four acts of retribution, each involving attacks against Palestinian vehicles. The first two attacks, both in July 1998, hit cars owned by the Palestinian police force after the PAPD had aided and abetted a murderous ambush. There were casualties, however.

The Committee was silent in 1999 and 2000, but reemerged in 2001 after Muslims called the second intifada against Jews. The group claimed responsibility for two attacks, in April and July, with only one of the two being lethal.

- July 20, 2001: In Sheshnag, India, Islamic militants attacked Hindu pilgrims with two grenades. Fourteen people were killed in the blasts including two policemen and one Muslim militant. Police blamed Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LT) is the armed wing of the Pakistan-based 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 Islamic terrorist groups operating in Kashmir against Hindus and Christians.

In 1994, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba became a more substantial recipient of funds from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, the Islamic country's external intelligence agency. Pakistan's largest political party, Jamaat-e-Islami and their terrorist wing Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, refused to accept new conditions attached to ISI money - which included a focus on using al-Qaeda and Taliban trained jihadists to terrorize Kashmir into surrendering to Islam and to Pakistan.

The LT, however, agreed to support Pakistan's use of terror to force Kashmir into parting with India and merging into the Land of Pure Islam - Pakistan. Lashkar-e-Tayyiba also agreed with the ISI mandate to attack Hindus in the Jammu Division, and to assist in training alienated Muslim youth in the rest of India, motivating them to become terrorists.

The LT's agenda includes the imposition of of Islamic rule over all parts of India, the imposition of Wahhabi Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia law in Pakistan, forced incorporation of Jammu and Kashmir into Pakistan, and a union of all countries in the region into a pan-Islamic state. Lashkar-e-Tayyiba is a member of Osama bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against the U.S. and Israel, and a member of Pakistan's United Jihad Council. Their logo is an open Qur'an with an upraised assault rifle superimposed against a rising sun.

Zafar Iqbal founded Lashkar-e-Taiba along with Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Zaki ur Rahman Lakhwi. Iqbal left the organization with Saeed in late 2001 or early 2002 to work for Jamaat-al-Dawat, Saeed's Islamic preaching organization. Jamaat-al-Dawat operates several Islamic schools, or madrassas, in Pakistan, educating thousands of students and turning them into jihadists. Iqbal is the organization's director of education for the terrorist manufacturing facilities. Knowing that Islam authorizes lying to Infidels for the advancement of the religion, Iqbal denies all links with Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terrorist organization he founded, and al-Qaeda, the organization that he publicly allied his terrorist group with.

Today, Maulana Abdul Wahid Kashmiri is the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba, though some assert that it is still led by the Qur'anic teachings of Hafiz Muhammad Saeed. Saeed publicly relinquished control to Abdul Wahid after he was arrested in December 2001. The arrest prompted Saeed to split his organization into an armed wing and a division devoted to Islamic preaching - although the two are never really separate. Saeed has been arrested by Pakistani authorities several times, most recently in February 2006 after leading a violent demonstration against the publication of cartoons accurately depicting the wannabe Prophet Muhammad inspiring terrorism. Saeed currently lives in Lahore, Pakistan.

- July 25, 2001: In Kyrgyzstan, two people were injured when Kyrgyz border guards exchanged fire with Islamic fundamentalist militants in a joint operation with the Islamic Party of Turkistan and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. They were attempting to enter from Tajikistan. The jihadists operate throughout the Caucasus region in Afghanistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Turkistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) was formed in 1998 with the objective to create an Islamist state in Uzbekistan and then a pan-Islamic theocracy across the Caucasus Region and Central Asia. The desired Islamist state, referred to as Turkistan, would encompass Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and the Xinxiang province of China, along with Afghanistan and portions of the Georgian Republic. With this ambitious goal in mind, some members of the terrorist group refer to themselves as the Islamic Party of Turkistan.

The IMU is composed of fundamentalist Islamic militants from throughout Central Asia and they are funded by OPEC warlords. The group was co-founded by an Islamic mullah and a former Soviet soldier who served in the Soviet-Afghan war. It was the co-founder's experience in fighting against the mujahideen in Afghanistan that eventually led him to jihadist Islam and an alliance with Osama bin Laden.

The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has grown increasingly close to bin Laden and al-Qaeda, as well as the Taliban and thus Pakistan. The religious group subscribes to Wahhabi or Salafi fundamentalist Islam so they share al-Qaeda's ideology and objectives. Therefore, it should not be surprising that the IMU attacked Afghanistan's Islamic Northern Alliance on behalf of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. In return, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has received money from bin Laden, from the Pakistanis, and from the Afghani drug trade. They provide a safe have to the Taliban and other Islamic terrorists.

The IMU's interest in a pan-Islamic state has broadened its mission form terrorizing strictly Uzbek targets to attacking coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and U.S. diplomatic facilities throughout Central Asia.

Jumaboi Khojaev, co-founder of Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, was a paratrooper in the Soviet army. As a trained godless killer, Khojaev gained respect for the Islamic mujahideen in Afghanistan while fighting against them in the Soviet-Afghan war. It is said that Jumaboi Khojaev became a close associate of Osama bin Laden. There are reports that Khojaev was killed in Afghanistan while fighting coalition forces but this is unconfirmed.
