Islamic Terrorism Timeline

9/6/2006

- May 1, 2003: Making a dramatic landing on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, dressed in a military flight suit, and then climbing up on a stage in front of cameras with a huge "Mission Accomplished" sign hanging from the superstructure, the President of the United States displayed his ego and ignorance for all the world to see. George Bush, wearing his self-proclaimed "wartime president" moniker announced: "My fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country."

Nothing, and I mean nothing, could have been further from the truth - unless you consider how far this man was removed from it. His lies had started a war for which there would be no end. He had misidentified the enemy and knowingly aided and abetted the real foe.

Up to this point, 140 American's had sacrificed their lives to accomplish Bush's mission, which was to become a wartime president. 140 dead Americans as percentage of the 2590 American soldiers and 125 American civilians killed in Iraq (as of August 2006) is 5%. From a casualty perspective, 543 wounded Americans thus far represents 1% of the 19,272 American soldiers who would be wounded in action after the "combat operations ended" and the real war began. Ninety-five percent of the fatalities and 99% of the casualties could have been avoided if only the troops had been called home on this day. But troop deaths would average 75 a month for years to come. Nonfatal casualties would average over 500 a month as burned, bullet ridden, and amputated bodies returned in numbers equivalent to Vietnam.

Lying to the American people and to its military, the President said: "In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment - yet, it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage, your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other, made this day possible. Because of you, our nation is more secure. Because of you, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free. (Applause.)"

The tyrant had fallen but Iraq was not free, nor would it ever be. It was now controlled by a religion which is completely opposed to choice and which calls itself "submission." As for peace, Muslim religious gangs would murder 30,000 to 40,000 of their own people within the next three years making the Islamic government more ruthless than the secular one George Bush had replaced.

More importantly, America was less secure. First, Islam, the reason for Islamic terrorism, was now in control of Iraq. Second, as a direct result of invading Iraq crude prices had tripled, further enriching the Islamic OPECers - terrorism's primary funding mechanism. Third, to justify the war the president had lied repeatedly about Islam, presenting the real enemy as a "good, noble, loving, and peaceful religion serving the same God as that of the Bible." And as we all know now, Bush lied when he presented his justifications for his war - all of them.

Knowing that blunders and mistaken identities had claimed nearly 70% of those who had died thus far, that the announced enemy didn't fight, and that those being "liberated" killed the remaining soldiers, George Bush went on to deceive the world. "Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of precision and speed and boldness the enemy did not expect, and the world had not seen before. From distant bases or ships at sea, we sent planes and missiles that could destroy an enemy division, or strike a single bunker. Marines and soldiers charged to Baghdad across 350 miles of hostile ground, in one of the swiftest advances of heavy arms in history. You have shown the world the skill and the might of the American Armed Forces." It had all been a perverse calamity of errors and this clown knew it. But he had a vested interest in perpetuating a myth.

Imagine using a term like "precision" to describe bumbling so egregious that two thirds of the fatalities were from mishaps and mistaken identities. Imagine using a term like "destroying an enemy division" when the only real enemy, the one responsible for a third of the fatalities, was composed entirely of those you had claimed to have rescued. Only a very, very disturbed and delusional man would find this worth celebrating.

If America is to recover from its misadventure in Iraq, this reality needs to sink in. At the time victory was announced, more than two-thirds of those who had died were killed in accidents and mistaken identity. Nearly a third of the casualties had come by way of Iraqi civilians, the very people who were supposedly being liberated. The ousted secular tyrant was less lethal than the religious tyrants who replaced him. All that was because America and Islam were manufacturing jihadists much faster than coalition bombs were killing them. Worst of all, by invading Iraq, America tripled OPEC's revenues and thus tripled Islamic terrorism's crude funding. The outcome of this war would be as harmful as the deceptions that had led to it.

Aware that he and his team were responsible for this colossal calamity of errors, George Bush said: "And tonight, I have a special word for Secretary Rumsfeld, for General Franks, and for all the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States: America is grateful for a job well done. (Applause.) I'm honored to be your Commander-in-Chief. (Applause.)" If this doesn't make your stomach churn and your soul to cry out, you too are living in denial.

Knowing that the pulling down of Saddam's bronze was a charade, the President said: "In the images of falling statues, we have witnessed the arrival of a new era." It sounded like a mix between Hitler's 1000 year Reich and a New World Order propaganda press release.

Knowing that Iraqi civilians were now the enemy, and that they, not uniformed soldiers were the ones killing Americans, the President said: "With new tactics and precision weapons, we can achieve military objectives without directing violence against civilians. No device of man can remove the tragedy from war; yet it is a great moral advance when the guilty have far more to fear from war than the innocent. (Applause.)"

There is no way of knowing how many Iraqi soldiers the American armed forces may have killed. A generous estimate may be one-thousand. But it is certain that the total number of Iraqi civilians who have died as a result of U.S. military intervention exceeds 40,000 (of which 10,000 were killed by coalition forces). So while it is true that most of the carnage came by way of Muslims killing Muslims, the removal of the secular regime paved the way to what has become an uncivil war waged by competitive Shi'ite militias and Sunni militants.

Completely delusional, the President of the United States said: "In the images of celebrating Iraqis, we have also seen the ageless appeal of human freedom. Decades of lies and intimidation could not make the Iraqi people love their oppressors or desire their own enslavement. Men and women in every culture need liberty like they need food and water and air. Everywhere that freedom arrives, humanity rejoices; and everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear. (Applause.)" I do not dispute that there were cheering Iraqis. They celebrated every time they murdered an American. The best example of this is what happened in Fallujah - all caught on videotape. But what is obvious here is that America's president was in dire need of psychiatric help. The Commander In Chief was delusional.

"We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous." Actually, the American presence dramatically increased the level of chaos. That much is obvious. "We're pursuing and finding leaders of the old regime, who will be held to account for their crimes." That was true, but they hadn't killed Americans. Those who did, the Islamic clerics, were universally exonerated for their crimes.

"We've begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated." They found nothing. The reason for the war had been a hoax.

"We're helping to rebuild Iraq, where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools. And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people. (Applause.)" While the United States would squander $500 billion in Iraq all important indices of progress continue to go in the wrong direction. The economy is in shamble, and basic services like water, sewer, and electricity remain at below prewar levels. Secular schools turned sectarian, now teach the religion of submission. The new Iraqi government is of, by, and for the Shi'ite clerics in league with Iran. 

Knowing that there are no democracies on earth, and that there hasn't been one since the Delian League (circa 470 BCE) nearly 2,500 years ago, the leader of the American republic reported: "The transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. Our coalition will stay until our work is done. Then we will leave, and we will leave behind a free Iraq. (Applause.)" No, America will leave Iraq embroiled in a Shiite-Sunni civil war - a nation oppressed by an Islamic theocracy. That is what "voting" will bring. 

Wrongly equating the invasion of Iraq to the Islamic suicide bombing of the World Trade Center, the nation's chief deceiver said: "We know that the battle of Iraq is one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11, 2001 - and still goes on. That terrible morning, 19 evil men [85% of whom were from Saudi Arabia and none of whom were from Iraq] - the shock troops of a hateful ideology [known as the religion of Islam] - gave America and the civilized world a glimpse of their ambitions. They imagined, in the words of one terrorist, that September the11th would be the 'beginning of the end of America.' By seeking to turn our cities into killing fields, terrorists and their allies believed that they could destroy this nation's resolve, and force our retreat from the world. They have failed. (Applause.)"

Actually, everyone lost. Americans would squander thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars lashing out at a tactic while Islam continued to terrorize every life it touched. Further, and let's be absolutely clear, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Nothing. In fact, in a late August 2006 press conference, President Bush would ultimately use the same world, "nothing," to admit that it had all been untrue.

When this president called his misguided and mismanaged invasion of Iraq a "victory" he was as errant and delusional as he was when he equated the invation of Iraq to "a war on terror that began on September the 11th, 2001." This whole speech, this whole war, was nothing more than one lie piled on top of another. And what is particularly alarming is that this deadly and destructive deceiver was elected because he received near unanimous support from "Christian conservatives" who claimed to have voted for him based upon moral issues.

In this portion of the speech, the President boasted that America had "destroyed the Taliban." However, with the exception of Kabul, the Taliban still controlled the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The oppressive Islamic Sharia Law they imposed was still used to repress the people. About the only thing America changed in Afghanistan was heroin production which became the nation's primary crop. The Taliban, as bad as they were, had made poppy production illegal.

The deceiver in chief said, "In the battle of Afghanistan, we destroyed the Taliban, many terrorists, and the camps where they trained. We continue to help the Afghan people lay roads, restore hospitals, and educate all of their children. Yet we also have dangerous work to complete. As I speak, a Special Operations task force, led by the 82nd Airborne, is on the trail of the terrorists and those who seek to undermine the free government of Afghanistan. America and our coalition will finish what we have begun. (Applause.)" All America accomplished in Afghanistan was to make al-Qaeda more popular and more comfortable. Moving them out of Afghani caves and into Pakistani homes where they enjoy a 70% approval rating, also put them within arm's reach of a thermonuclear arsenal. 

 "Nineteen months ago, I pledged that the terrorists would not escape the patient justice of the United States. And as of tonight, nearly one-half of al Qaeda's senior operatives have been captured or killed. (Applause.)" That wasn't true either, not even remotely. While the U.S. has killed or incarcerated less than 10% of al-Qaeda's leadership, and neither of its founders, its actions had manufactured a hundred replacements for every one captured or killed. Moreover, al-Qaeda isn't the problem: Islam is. Al-Qaeda is just one of several hundred Islamic terrorist organizations. They all have the same mission.

In truth, the Islamic Osama bin Laden hated the secular Saddam Hussein because he wasn't a Muslim. In 1991, bin Laden had asked the Saudi dictators for authorization to deploy his mujahideen, who were fresh off of their victory over the Soviet Union, to fight Saddam's forces which were now in Kuwait. Unfortunately, Saud Crown Prince Abdallah accepted George Bush's father's offer to help and rejected Osama's - a snub that eventually led to revenge, and to 9/11. So the Iraq war was related to September 11th, but the wrong one and in the wrong way.

Al-Qaeda's primary ally had been the United States. The CIA had given mujahideen jihadists, including Osama's, a billion dollars in funding and weaponry. And while that funding had ended with the mujahideen victory and the end of the cold war, al-Qaeda didn't miss Uncle Sam's generosity because the Sauds were even more generous. Therefore, what the President of the United States said next was not only untrue, the opposite was true: "The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We've removed an ally of al Qaeda, and cut off a source of terrorist funding."

Those who claim that President George Bush never claimed that Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda were allies, ought to read that last line again. The harsh reality is that both justifications for the war in Iraq, WMDs and links to al-Qaeda and 9/11 were outright lies. When a nation goes to war based upon that which is not true, horrible things happen. If you need a reminder, consider Vietnam. Or barring that, consider the horrible mess America has made in Iraq. 

His next line was the only thing the president got right, but not for the reason he was suggesting: "And this much is certain: No terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime, because the regime is no more. (Applause.)" The fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction to be given out was known to the administration at this time but not to the soldiers or the American people.

Continuing to link the invasion of Iraq to 9/11, America's best weaver of lies declared: "In these 19 months that changed the world, our actions have been focused and deliberate and proportionate to the offense. We have not forgotten the victims of September the 11th - the last phone calls, the cold murder of children, the searches in the rubble. With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got. (Applause.)"

The opposite of what he said next was true. To appreciate why it is important to know what Islam represents and who advances its cause. "Our war against terror is proceeding according to principles that I have made clear to all: Any person involved in committing or planning terrorist attacks against the American people becomes an enemy of this country, and a target of American justice. (Applause.)"

The world's most lavish supporter of Islam was and remains Saudi Arabia. Yet its leader was the first guest at Bush's ranch after 9/11. The world was indeed upside down. It is little wonder that mishaps and mistaken identities had claimed the lives of nearly 70% of the American soldiers who had been lost in Iraq. "Any person, organization, or government that supports, protects, or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent, and equally guilty of terrorist crimes. Any outlaw regime that has ties to terrorist groups and seeks or possesses weapons of mass destruction is a grave danger to the civilized world - and will be confronted. (Applause.)" The United States has the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction - more than the rest of the world combined. Saddam's stash wouldn't fill a trashcan. 

I hate it when race replaces religion as was done in this line: "And anyone in the world, including the Arab world, who works and sacrifices for freedom has a loyal friend in the United States of America. (Applause.)" Everyone knows that he was speaking of the "Islamic world" but by using race, rather than religion, he caused those who would challenge his overt accommodation of the enemy to be called racists. 

Since there is no "Palestine" apart from that which is severed from Israel, the American leader was advocating a reward for the world's most vicious terrorists: "We are committed to...a peaceful Palestine."

"Thank you for serving our country and our cause. May Allah bless you all, and may Allah continue to bless America. (Applause.)" Since George Bush publicly declared that he believes that Allah is God, I didn't think he mind the substitution.

- May 1, 2003: An American working at a Saudi naval base in Jubail was wounded when an unidentified Muslim gunman wearing a Saudi naval uniform shot him three times in the stomach. The attack at the King Abdul-Aziz base took place a day after the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh warned about imminent attacks against American targets in Saudi Arabia.

Earlier in the week the United States announced that almost all of its troops would be pulled out of the Kingdom by a mutual agreement with the Saudi government. The American military presence had been a chief grievance of Islamist militants in the region. So George Bush capitulated to Osama bin Laden, turned tail, didn't stay the course, surrendered, and cut and run - abandoning a $5 billion dollar upgrade to American military bases in the fiefdom of Saud.

- May 1, 2003: The end of April didn't bring an end to America's problems in Iraq. Mistaken plans continued to breed mistakes. Jesse Givens, 34, from Springfield, Missouri was the next to die. He was killed when the M1A1 Abrams battle tank he was in, which was parked at the time, fell into the Euphrates River as its bank collapsed near al Habbaniyah.

- May 3, 2003: Sean Reynolds, 25, from East Lansing, Michigan fell while climbing a ladder in Iraq, causing his M-4 rifle to accidentally discharge, killing him.

- May 3, 2003: An Afghan Muslim shot and killed the driver of a car belonging to a UN de-mining agency. The assassin had been "hunting for foreign workers" according to eyewitnesses.

The following day, six Muslim gunmen stopped another UN car belonging to the same agency, this one just outside Kabul. Making up in quantity what they lacked in accuracy, they wounded the driver and his passenger. .

- May 4, 2003: The next two soldiers to die in Iraq were also the result of mishaps. Jason Deibler, 20, of Coeburn, Virginia was killed by a non-combat weapon discharge in Kuwait. Andrew Kelly's death is listed as an accident that is undergoing further investigation. He was just 18 when he was killed in a shooting accident at his barracks near Basra.

- May 4, 2003:  In Israel, the body of Tali Weinberg, 26, was discovered in a garbage heap in Rosh Ha'ayin with numerous stab wounds. A 21-year-old Arab resident of Kafr Qasem was believed to have carried out the murder as part of a "loyalty test" administered by Palestinian terrorist organizations.

- May 4, 2003: Muslims in Turkey made a mess of things today, detonating a handful of bombs in the Adana Province. No one was injured. They also used a concussion bomb to rattle the nerves of those serving in the U.S. Consulate.

- May 4, 2003:  The Al-Alwiyah Children's Hospital in Baghdad reported today that failures in the city's water purification systems caused between 21 to 56 children to contract diarrhea and die.

Two days later, 24 Iraqi civilians died in Samawah when electrical and water system failures prevented them from extinguishing a fire.

- May 5, 2003: Gideon Lichterman, 27, was murdered in Israel when Fatah terrorists fired shots at his vehicle in Samaria. Two other passengers, his six-year-old daughter Moriah and a friend, were seriously wounded. Arafat's, PLO, PA, and Fatah al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades terrorist gang claimed responsibility for the savagery.

The same day another two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli car traveling near the West Bank settlement of Shvut Rachel northeast of Ramallah. They wounded all three people. The assailants escaped by car, but not anonymously: Fatah's Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed to be irresponsible.

- May 5, 2003: The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) were still active - one of only two significant terrorist groups without direct Islamic ties. Today these Marxist misfits acted like Muslims when they used terror to thwart peace agreements between rival political and religious parties. The primary catalyst propelling LTTE terrorism was their rebellion against the Sri Lanka government for having declared Buddhism as the main religion of the people.

LTTE's first official act as an organization was in 1983 when they used guerilla tactics to kill 13 Sri Lankan soldiers in an ambush, igniting a smoldering civil war. Seventeen years later, some believe that 60,000 lives have been lost on both sides.

- May 5, 2003: The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) bombed a gymnasium that was being used as an evacuation center. This Cotabato City blast wounded six people whose lives had already been ravaged. Having been corrupted by Islam, the perpetrators fired a rocket-propelled grenade onto the roof of the gym.

The fact that a religion named "Submission" gave rise to a terrorist organization named "Liberation" demonstrates just how devious Muslims are. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is itself a splinter group of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). Following a failed 1977 peace accord between MNLF and the Philippine government, MNLF's second-in-command, Hashim Salamat, broke away and created the MILF. But he did not stray from the philosophical foundations of fundamental Islam.

Publicly, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front demanded a fully independent Muslim state in the southern Philippines. In advance of this goal, the MILF perpetrated terrorist attacks throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, following the example of the Oslo Accords, by the late 1990s, the MILF began negotiations for an autonomous Muslim region. The MILF and Philippine president Gloria Arroyo signed a peace agreement in June 2001. Ms. Arroyo was ignorant of Islam and especially clueless when it came to understanding the relevance of the Islamic peace treaty of Hudaybiyah. It was there that Muhammad, after failing to terrorize Mecca into Islam/Submission, signed a treaty promising not to terrorize his hometown for ten years. Lulled into a false sense of security, Muhammad renounced all agreements between Muslims and non-Muslims in the opening stanza of the Qur'an's 9th surah and then conquered Mecca, turning it into an Islamic fiefdom.

As could have been expected, and easily predicted, terrorist attacks claimed by Moro Islamic Liberation Front continued unabated after the 2001 peace agreement. And then in a move that is akin to partnering with Shi'ite clerics to eliminate Sunni terrorism, on December 22, 2004, the President Arroyo announced that she and the MILF had "formed a joint organization to clear the southern Philippines of criminal elements and operatives of two terrorist organizations, the Abu Sayyaf Group and Jemaah Islamiyah." There is only one guarantee one has when the partner with a venomous snake - they will be bit. The United States played this game with Mao, Stalin, bin Laden, Saddam, even Iran.

- May 5, 2003: Muslims hate Christians almost as much as the despise Jews. They are particularly afraid of Christian educators, heath care, and aid workers because they make Islam look horrid by contrast.

As a result, in Tank, Pakistan Muslims detonated a bomb outside a missionary hospital where five Christians had worked.

- May 6, 2003: In Tripoli Muslims bombed the home of a Dutch missionary, killing one of their friends and neighbors. Jacob Jakarta, 52, his German wife and their three children, the intended targets, were at home at the time and heard the Muslim set the bomb outside. Their neighbor, a Jordanian convert to Christianity, was concerned about the package left in front of their home. He was killed when the bomb detonated. This was the second attack on Christian missionaries in Lebanon in six months. In November 2002 an Islamic gunmen killed an American missionary in the southern city of Sidon. Tripoli was a predominantly Sunni Muslim city with a small Christian population. It also played host to several Islamic terrorist groups like Islamic Jihad.

- May 6, 2003: Imagine living in a place so uncivilized that your neighbors not only own mortars but think it's their god-given duty to fire them at you. Israel is such a place and Palestinians are such a people. Today, like most days, seven mortar shells were lobbed into Neve Deqalim.

- May 8, 2003: Allergic to open and honest discussion, and especially to a free press, Muslims in Kashmir operating as Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, the militant wing of Kashmir's most popular Islamic political party, kidnapped and killed a journalist in Tral.

In Marka, Kashmir Muslims thought it would be religious to set eight homes ablaze and burn them to the ground. That way everyone would know that they were passionate in their faith. .

- May 7, 2003: A well-known Islamic religious scholar, Mowlawi Haji Abdullah, was shot dead by gunmen in Afghanistan's central Uruzgan Province. He was attacked as he left his mosque following prayer. Security sources suspect Taliban remnants, citing Mowlawi Abdullah's close ties to the central government - the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

- May 8, 2003: Marlin Rockhold, 29, from Hamilton, Ohio was shot and killed by a Muslim while he was directing traffic at an intersection in Baghdad. Who would have ever dreamed that the United States military would put 7th Infantry Regiment soldiers on the street to direct civilian traffic in a city where 96% of the population saw American troops as the enemy. While a Muslim sniper may have pulled the trigger, American stupidity was responsible for his death.

Duncan Pritchard, 22, died as a result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident while on duty in Iraq.

- May 8, 2003: During this time HAMAS was firing two to three rockets or mortars into Israeli communities each day. Most simply failed. Today, the payload of one Qassem rocket was dismantled after it failed to detonate. Fortunately, the Islamic mortar barrage simply rearranged the rocks in a settler's front yard.

- May 8, 2003: Palestinian Muslims celebrated today by launching six Qassem rockets into Israel. Two people were slightly injured, but the myth of a peaceful religion was shattered.

- May 8, 2003: Dateline: Osh, Kyrgyzstan - a terrorist killed an employee when his bomb exploded inside the Bakay bank. Smarter than the average Muslim, the perpetrator transferred his account to another branch just before he detonated the suitcase he had brought with him. .

- May 9, 2003: A remote-controlled explosive device detonated near a sports stadium in Grozny as government officials and citizens celebrated Victory Day, a holiday to mark the surrender of Nazi Germany. Three police officers were injured and the parade was cancelled.

- May 9, 2003: Brian Van Dusen, 39, Hans Gukeisen, 31, and Richard Carl, 26 of Columbus, Ohio, Lead, South Dakota, and King Hill, Idaho, were killed when the UH-60 medical helicopter they were aboard crashed in the Tigris River near Samarra.

Cedric Burns, 22, of Vancouver, Washington was killed in a non-hostile vehicle accident in a Kuwaiti base. The pickup truck he was driving was struck on the driver's side by a "logistics vehicle system.".

While it may seem like I'm pulling isolated troop fatalities which were the result of accidents from a massive number of soldiers who died fighting the enemy, that is not the case. I am reporting everything I have found. The truth is as startling to me as it probably is to you. I knew that this war was an accident waiting to happen but I had no idea it would be this bad.

- May 10, 2003: It is dangerous to live in the vicinity of Islam. Today in Hyderdbad, Pakistan, Muslims detonated a bomb in a passenger bus, wounding eleven. The bomb had been placed under a seat. This was the fifteenth bombing in Hyderabad in less than two years, and there would be a repeat in three weeks.

- May 10, 2003: In the Philippines, a bomb fashioned from an 81 mm mortar shell exploded in front of an agricultural supply store and the National Bureau of Investigation. This ruthless act of terrorism in a public market killed nine people and wounded forty-one. The Philippine authorities believe that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) was responsible for the Koronadal City blast.

Later the same day, the Philippine police found another bomb, this one within 50 yards of city hall. So much for the peace treaty.

- May 10, 2003: Matthew Smith, 20, of Anderson, Indiana, was killed in Iraq when the Humvee he was driving as part of a convoy to Camp Coyote, Kuwait hit a parked trailer.  .

- May 10, 2003: Three Russian Inter Energy Service workers were kidnapped by Muslims in Iraq. They attacked their vehicle in Musayyib, 30 miles south of Baghdad after an ambush. One of the Russians was killed and two others were released after ten days in captivity. Their release was negotiated by Iraqi religious and political figures who not only controlled the kidnappers but had something to gain from the Russians.

- May 11, 2003: Zion David was shot in the head and killed by Palestinian terrorists in a roadside ambush north of Jerusalem. He had been on his way to work. Both Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine vied for credit with the people and Allah.

The previous day, HAMAS Muslims lobbed mortar shells into the Qatif settlement, injuring two. The following day, they opted for rockets rather than mortars, injuring two more Jews.

The same day HAMAS, the popularly elected Islamic terrorist organization, fired two Qassem rockets into Sederot, Israel, intending to kill Jewish civilians. Thankfully, Islamic rockets are as faulty as the Islamic religion.

- May 12, 2003: Jose Rodriquez, 19, and Jakub Kowailk, 21, were both killed when unexploded ordnance they were handling in a Marine encampment detonated accidentally.

- May 12, 2003: Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers found a 100 pound explosive charge near the settlement of Netzer-Hazani. Bomb disposal experts safely defused it.

On this same day, several Qassem rockets were carted away after they failed to detonate. Another rocket started a fire but did not injure anyone.

- May 12, 2003: Nine Islamic suicide bombers in four simultaneous assaults blew up three residential compounds for foreign workers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 34 dead included the 9 attackers, 7 other Saudis, 9 Americans, and one citizen each from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Philippines.

Yet another American died on June 1. Forty Americans were among the 200 people who were wounded in the bombing.

It was the first major attack on U.S. targets in Saudi Arabia since the end of the first war in Iraq. Saudi authorities arrested 11 suspects they themselves had educated (actually indoctrinated) on May 28^th. To make the naive believe that they were fighting the terrorists rather than manufacturing them, the assailants were said to have links to al-Qaeda rather than Islam.

- May 12, 2003: A truck bomb explosion demolished a government compound in Znamenskoye, Chechnya, killing 54 people and wounding 110. Russian authorities blamed followers of a Saudi-born Islamist named Abu Walid. The suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into the government building just as Hizballah had done with the Marine barracks in Lebanon years before.

President Vladimir Putin, trying to convince George W. Bush that he was an ally in the war on terror, said that he suspected that there was an al-Qaeda connection.

- May 13, 2003: A female Islamic suicide bomber attacked Chechen Administrator Mufti Akhmed Kadyrov during a religious festival in Iliskhan Yurt. Twenty people were killed and 43 were wounded. The suicide bomber detonated the explosive device strapped to her body in a crowd estimated to be 15,000 people. The fundamentalist Islamic leader, Shamil Basayev, claimed responsibility.

Considering the fact that Chechnya was Communist and thus atheist just ten years earlier, it didn't take much time for Islam to make bad people worse.

- May 13, 2003: Militant Muslims detonated a bomb outside of a Christian school in Bannu City, Pakistan. Their intentions were as bad as their timing. No one was in class to be killed.

- May 13, 2003: Mishaps took more lives today in George Bush's misguided war on terrorism. Nicholar Kleiboeker, 19, was killed when the munitions bunker he was working in caught fire and exploded.

Patrick Griffin, 31, was sacrificed when an unexploded U.S. Army cluster bomb detonated while his convoy was stopped near Diwaniya, Iraq.

David Nutt, 22, died in a vehicle accident in Mosul, Iraq. An Iraqi civilian vehicle cut in front of Nutt's 5-ton truck. When David swerved to miss it, his truck hit the median and overturned.

- May 13, 2003: In Algeria today, 32 European tourists were kidnapped in the Sahara. The kidnappers belonged to the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC). The tourists who were taken in six separate incidents, were held in two groups. A group of 17 was freed after a firefight between the Algerian army and the GSPC kidnappers. Those freed were Austrians, Germans, and a Swede.

A month after the Salafist Group kidnapping, a German woman, Michaela Spitzer died of heat stroke. The remaining nine Germans, four Swiss, and a Dutchman were released August 18th after the group took their hostages to Mali. The motivation for the kidnapping appears to be ransom. The New York Times reported that the German government, which negotiated for the hostages release, paid Ammari Saifi aka Abderrezak al-Para (the leader of the Salafist Group), $6 million for the release of the captives.

There are many Islamic terrorist groups which are appropriately named, like Hizballah (Allah's Party) and Islamic Jihad (no translation necessary), but none is more aptly named than the Salafist Group for Call and Combat.

A salafi is a "fundamentalist" Muslim. Salaf's literal translation from Arabic to English is "predecessors" and thus it is reasonably synonymous with the biblical concept of "disciple." A Salafi is a good and true Muslim. Those who disregard the Salaf are, according to the Qur'an (read the 9^th and 33^rd surahs), "hypocrites" and "pretenders" who have ceased to be Muslims. This is the opposite of what people in America and the West are being told about Islam and terrorism.

So that there isn't any doubt regarding who a Salafi is, let's turn to the most authoritative source on Islamic terminology. According to The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam, a salaf is: "a first generation Muslim, considered by later generations to be the most authoritative source for Islamic practice and guidance. The comments of these first Muslims are used to elucidate questions whose solutions are not explicit in the Qur'an and in the Sunnah. The salaf cover three generations: that of the Companions of the Prophet, that of the Tabi'um, or Successors who knew the Companions, and that of the Taba'at-Tabi'in, or the Successor's Successors. Each generation's testimony is less authoritative. The Wahhabis do not accord a special validity to the opinions and practices of any authority after the Tabi'un, and regard all practices introduced after that time to be unwarranted innovation.".

Salaf is a term I wish everyone in the world knew. If they did Islam's most deadly myth would be obliterated. America's politicians, media, scholars, and clerics most all say that "the terrorists are radicals who are practicing a corrupted interpretation of Islam." The overt and misleading implication is that "true Islam is good and peaceful religion," suggesting that "we are not at war with Islam." Actually, the opposite is true. Islamic terrorists are salafi, and thus they are fundamentalists. They make this perfectly clear during their public statements. It is the "peaceful Islamic moderates" who are actually Islamic radicals, having corrupted Islam to suit their sensibilities.

The moment a person comes to understand that salafi, or fundamentalist Islam, is the religion presented in Muhammad's Qur'an, Ishaq's Sira, Tabari's History, and Bukhari's Hadith (all brought together in Prophet of Doom), they will instantly understand that salaf fundamentalist Islam is the sole motivation for Islamic terrorism. That being irrefutable, it means that every American politician, media spokesperson, scholar, and cleric who speaks on the subject of Islam and terrorism, including the President of the United States, is lying. That being the case, the Iraq war was counterproductive, because America replaced a secular dictator with a fundamentalist Islamic government. Even worse, since America and the West have transferred 10 trillion dollars to the Salafi OPEC clerics and warlords who control the Middle Eastern Islamic countries, it means we have financed our own funeral.

Let me give you an example of how bad all this really is. In 1744, the salafi Islamic fundamentalist Wahhab signed an oath of allegiance with a regional Islamic warlord named Muhammad ibn Al Saud. The current Saudi kings and princes are his grandchildren. In their sworn oath, they agreed to establish a state, and then a world, ruled according to Islam, and thus in accordance with Muhammad's words and deeds as they were passed along by the Salafs. In 1932, Great Britain established this fiefdom by giving the Arabian Peninsula to the Saud fundamentalist Islamic warlords. Since that time they have done more to manufacture terrorists than any regime in the world.

And today it's too late to deal with them because the Salafi OPEC thugs now control so much American currency and so many American companies, should they withdraw their investment in dollars and stock, America would instantly be plunged into a depression far more severe than 1929.

The Qur'an itself is a salaf book. First recited by Muhammad starting around 610 CE, it was retained exclusively in the minds of the Salaf, the first generation of Muslims, Muhammad's Companions. They passed it on orally to the Successors, and they passed it on orally to the Successors' Successors. The first extant written copy of the Qur'an dates to the early 8^th century, over 100 years, or four generations of salaf, after it was initially recited orally. 

 If you want more proof that Ishaq, Tabari, Bukhari, and Muslim are also salaf, and thus original Islamic sources, read the "Islam's Dark Past" Source Material Appendix to Prophet of Doom. I present a scholarly review of Islam's prime reading materials at the outset of that chapter. What you will therefore find, is that there are no old, authentic, or reliable non-salaf Islamic sources. Anything that is said about Islam that isn't salaf is thus inaccurate revisionism - a corrupted interpretation, or hijacked version, of the religion. 

I've partially demonstrated here, and I prove conclusively in the book, that the salafi sources are universally violent and immoral. Therefore, Islam is violent and immoral. It is why Muslims kill. It is why Muslims deceive. It is what you need to know about Islam to protect yourself from it.

- May 13, 2003: The Pakistani police seized a van loaded with a bomb in a congested area of Bannu City after another bomb blew up a nearby Christian school. The car-bomb was found by a hotel worker three hours before it was set to go off in the city's Lakki Gate neighborhood, where many shops were located.

- May 14, 2003: Some good Muslims in Yemen, recognizing that terrorism was good, not bad, blew up a Yemeni court, injuring the judge and three others. The judge had convicted and sentenced self-confessed Abed Abdullah Razzah Kamel, 30, to death for killing three Americans who worked at a Christian hospital in Jibla. In his defense, Kamel had claimed the attack was a "religious duty," which in Islam is true. He went on to say that murdering the Christian hospital workers was "in revenge for those who converted Muslims from their religion and made them unbelieving infidels." Seeking bonus Jihad miles, a man with a pistol outside the court confessed to having planted the bomb.

- May 14, 2003: Three more Qassem rockets were fired by HAMAS Palestinians at Jewish civilian targets. Two detonated inside the city of Sederot and the third near a factory outside the city. No one was injured. It's not that Muslims weren't trying it is that they aren't good at anything they do.

A few days later, another Qassem missile landed harmlessly in an open field. It is reported that two scorpion and one snake may have been injured in the attack.

- May 14, 2003: Like the scorpion and the snake, Islam is dangerous. Fundamentalist Muslims in Chechnya invested their time and money making two homemade remote-controlled explosive devices. Fortunately, both were discovered and defused along roads used by thousands of cars driving in southwestern Chechnya. The bombs were made with an inner core of twelve pounds of TNT and an outer layer of nails.

- May 15, 2003: Muslims in Karachi, Pakistan celebrated Muhammad's birthday by blowing up their primary source of funds. A series of explosions damaged 18 gas stations owned by the Anglo-Dutch Shell in Pakistan's southern port city. Five people were injured. It was reported that thousands of Muslims on motorcycles had flooded city roads to celebrate the anniversary. Mind you, Muslims are clueless when it comes to the year and place of Muhammad's birth, so pretending to know the actual day is as ridiculous as Christians celebrating Christmas.

A previously unknown Islamic group calling itself the Muslim United Army claimed the attacks, calling them a small glimpse of their capabilities. Islam is so good at being bad, destructiveness is rated as a capability.

In a separate incident, a Sipah-e-Shahba Pakistan (SSP) member was shot dead in Sheikhupura. Ehsam Babar was the nephew of Hafez Ishfaque, an SSP leader who had also been killed by rival terrorists three years before.

- May 15, 2003: Palestinians wearing the Proletarian Nuclei for Communism label, claimed responsibility for bombing the Italian Confederation of Workers Unions in Caglari, Italy. Methinks these boys were having an identity crisis.

- May 15, 2003: Muslims in Afghanistan sympathetic to the Taliban planted a bomb in the Spin Boldak district of southern Afghanistan, killing one in the attack.

- May 15, 2003: Over the course of three days, Hezb-ul-Mujahideen Muslims in Kashmir murdered five rival politicians in their homes. In addition, they injured another foe while actually killing his wife.

- May 16, 2003: Bill Payne, 46, was killed when ordnance he was examining accidentally exploded in Haswah, Iraq.

Rasheed Sahib, 22, was killed when by an accidental weapons discharge as he and another soldier were cleaning their M-16s. The stray bullet pierced his chest.

- May 16, 2003: A team of twelve Islamic suicide bombers attacked five civilian areas in Casablanca, Morocco, killing 45 people and wounding 100 more. Their targets were a Spanish restaurant, a Jewish community center, a Jewish cemetery, a hotel, and the Belgian Consulate. The Moroccan Government accused the Islamist al-Assirat al-Moustaquim (The Righteous Path), but foreign commentators suspected an al-Qaeda connection because it had become politically correct to blame al-Qaeda for everything.

The first attack occurred at Casa de Espana, a Spanish restaurant popular among Western tourists and Moroccans alike. It was the bloodiest of the five, killing twenty, with eight European tourists among them.

The second strike took place at a Jewish-owned Italian restaurant. These Muslims killed a policeman guarding the nearby Belgium consulate.  The three suicide bombers who participated in Allah's Cause were also killed.

The third bombing occurred near the site of a Jewish cemetery. There is speculation that the bomber mistook his actual target, as he detonated himself near a public fountain some blocks away from another similar looking fountain, which marked the actual entrance to the cemetery. The attack killed three Moroccan youths who happened to be nearby as well as the suicide bomber.

The forth attack took place at a Jewish community center, so the Muslims were establishing a trend. The center, which was vacant at the time, resulted only in the deaths of the three suicide bombers. Allah had harvested another batch of nincompoops.

The fifth and final blast occurred at the Hotel Farah, a hotel popular among Western tourists. A suicide bomber, bellman, and guard were all killed (the latter two after intervening to stop the attack). A second bomber, Mohamed Omari, who failed to detonate his explosives, was apprehended at the scene. Omari was wounded when his accomplice detonated prematurely, at which point he tried to flee.

Moroccan authorities wanted the world to believe that al-Qaeda financed the attack with $50,000. However, the alleged liaison between al-Qaeda and the Moroccan cell died in custody shortly after being apprehended, further obscuring any potential relationship. The fact is, the Algerian government didn't want to admit that they were responsible. Their schools, mosques, and media manufactured each and every one of these terrorists.

The attackers were all Moroccans between the ages of 21 and 32, and for the most part residents of the same neighborhood - which being in an Islamic country, was poor. They belonged to a group known as "The Righteous Path.".

The Moroccan police have more recently confirmed that the Islamist al-Assirat al-Moustaquim group which perpetrated this hideous assault on innocent civilian life in Casablanca was responsible for carrying out the March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombing - murdering 201 and mutilating 1,400 in the name of Allah.

- May 17, 2003: Israelis, Gadi Levy and his wife Dina, aged 31 and 37, were killed by a Muslim suicide bomber in Hebron. HAMAS claimed to be uncivilized.

The bomber, disguised as a human being, approached an IDF position outside of a settlement and was ordered to stop by suspicious soldiers. The Muslim wannabe suicide bomber fled, and then detonated himself near a group of settlers.

Also on this day, a Palestinian gunman unloaded his assault rife into the West Bank settlement of Sha'areti Tikva, injuring one resident.

- May 17, 2003: Sgt. John Taylor, 31, died of a heart attack today in Kabul, Afghanistan. He had been completing physical training exercises.

- May 18, 2003: A suicide bomb attack on a bus in Jerusalem's French Hill district killed 7 and wounded 20 - one of whom would suffer and die of their wounds at a later date. The bomber was disguised as an orthodox Jew. Wearing a black hat, HAMAS claimed responsibility.

This day's victims of Muhammad's legacy included: Olga Brenner, 52; Yitzhak Moyal, 64; Nelly Perov, 55; Marina Tsahivershvili, 44; Shimon Ustinsky, 68; and Roni Yisraeli, 34; and Ghalab Tawil, 42.

A second terrorist bomber was less skilled in Allah's Cause. He detonated his bomb when intercepted by police in northern Jerusalem. The Muslim was killed but no humans were injured.

- May 18, 2003: As we continue to study the effects of George Bush's failed invasion of Iraq, and the consequence of his mythical war against terrorism, we learn that the next American to die was Doug Marencoreyes. He was 28 years old and was killed when the transport truck he was riding in rolled over southwest of Samawah, Iraq.

- May 18, 2003: In Kashmir, Muslims demonstrated why they aren't civil enough to have their own state. Hezb-ul-Mujahideen terrorists, the militant arm of the very popular Jamaat-e-Islami political party, set off a bomb in the home of a man they did not like, injuring four.

The following day Jaish-e-Muhammad militants beheaded five members of a family at their home in Mehratop Chowkian. The father was not present at the time of the attack. Three of his sons, whose wives were among those killed, worked for the Indian army and police.

Keeping in practice, a day later Muslim militants slit the throats of a woman and her daughter after entering their home in Aragam. They also shot a man who they thought might have been an informer.

Terrorist assassinations like these would go on day after day without end because the world remained tolerant, even supportive, of the religion of Islam.

- May 19, 2003: Aaron White, 27, John Shepherd, 34, Tim Ryan, 30, Jason Moore, 21, and Andy La Mont, 31, were drowned when their CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter crashed shortly after takeoff and plunged into the Shatt Al Hillah Canal. They were on a resupply mission.

Kirk Straseskie, 23, from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, drowned while trying to rescue the crew of the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter when they fell into the canal.

On April 3rd KGO Radio in San Francisco broadcast a live interview with La Mont before he flew north to evacuate wounded troops.

Dominic Baragona, 42, was killed in a vehicle accident. A tractor-trailer jackknifed on the road and collided with his High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HHMWV) - Humvee.

Once again, I'm not ignoring fatalities that were the result of confronting the enemy to make the case that those responsible for this calamity should be shot.

Over the course of the first 19 days of May, Islam, which wasn't supposed to be the enemy, claimed one American soldier's life. Mistakes killed 25 of 26 American casualties. The Coalition death toll was now 201. A stunning 67% (129 of 194) of the known casualties were from friendly fire and accidents. Islam (mistaking the enemy's real identity) had claimed 59 lives representing 31% of the known deaths. The virtually nonexistent enemy, Saddam Hussein's armed forces, had perpetrated 2% of coalition casualties. There was a very clear and disturbing picture being pained here. Too bad it wasn't reported.

Bush, Chaney, and Rumsfeld were the Three Stooges Do War - only thing, this wasn't funny. Good people were dying.

- May 19, 2003: Palestinian coed, Hiba Daraghmeh, was on her way to work serving in Allah's Cause when she murdered three Jews (ages 22, 36, and 41) and wounded 70 in a suicide bombing at the entrance to the Ha'amakim Mall in Afula, Israel. The Islamic Jihad and the Fatah al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade both claimed responsibility for indoctrinating, motivating, financing, and equipping this teenage woman so that she could murder and mutilate Jews. It is what Islam does best.

The bomber, a 19-year-old from the West Bank village of Tubas, was an English literature student. She was described as a very devout Muslim. She had been headed inside the Ha'amakim Mall, hoping to maximize the number of Jews she would kill for Allah, when a guard stopped her for a security check. It was then that she detonated her explosives. A modest murderer, the Palestinian coed wore a veil over her entire face except her eyes, a covering rarely seen among more liberal Palestinian women.

After Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad claimed credit for the attack, the al-Quds Brigades then claimed full and sole responsibility. The fact these fundamentalist Islamic groups were vying for "credit" is beyond moral comprehension. This religion is so perverse its followers gleefully and proudly "claim responsibility" for death, destruction, and terror. It is too bad the world doesn't give them credit.

- May 19, 2003: In Chechnya, Muslims following Muhammad's example kidnapped five people in an armed ambush. Nothing is known about their fate.

- May 19, 2003: Muslims who correspond with me at Prophet of Doom always say that they respect all religions and follow the teachings of all of the biblical prophets. But their deeds speak much louder than their words. For example, today Muslims lobbed a grenade into a Christian missionary school at Pulwama, Kashmir. It came after the media reported that thousands of Kashmiri Muslims had chosen to accept Christianity. Muslims of course, being opposed to a quality education and being incapable of a rational rebuttal, threatened to close down all missionary schools. Facilities which didn't capitulate would simply be destroyed.

Salahuddin's Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, the Pakistani supported terrorist arm of the Jamaat-e-Islami political party, was responsible.

The next day, displaying the depraved nature of their religion, Pakistani Muslims exploded a bomb in a missionary school for mentally handicapped children. Hell is too good for these boys.

- May 20, 2003: One of the most startling discoveries in the study of Islamic terrorism is the number of times Muslims fail. Today in Turkey, an Islamic woman named after Muhammad's daughter, died in the room most closely related to Muhammad and his religion.

Fatmah Kaypinar, a member of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party- Front (DHKP-C) was killed when a bomb, made of TNT that she had on her body exploded in the toilet of the Crocodile Café in Ankara. Police believe that Kayapinar intended to carry out an attack in the area but detonated the device by accident in the café when a police officer walked in and she panicked. One customer was injured in the blast.

- May 20, 2003: Twelve people were injured in Moyale, Ethiopia today when Muslims bombed their hotel near the Kenyan border. Ethiopia had been the site of frequent attacks by Islamic groups from neighboring Sudan and Somalia which were trying to destabilize the country.

There had been a great deal of upheaval in Ethiopia. Throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century, the nation had been predominantly Christian. Then a Marxist military junta deposed Emperor Haile Selassie. The Derg imposed a Communist state and began an avalanche of violence and blood letting. This regime was overthrown in a coalition of socialist rebel forces known as the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front in 1991.

During this time, the majority of nation's 75 million people migrated from Christianity to Communism and then to Islam. As a result, life is short and brutal in Ethiopia. A stunning 10% of the adult population is infected with HIV/AIDS. The median age of 17 years, the explosive population growth rates, increasing poverty, and uncontrolled violence all mirror the catastrophes brewing in other Islamic states. The Gross Domestic Product per capita is in Ethiopia has plunged to under $900. More than half of Ethiopians live in abject poverty.

- May 21, 2003: Where there is Islam there is terror. In Kashmir today, Muslim militants associated with the nation's most popular Islamic political party were successful in their crusade to demonstrate the direct connection between terrorist behavior and the religion of Islam. They opened fire on an Intelligence Bureau vehicle at Shopian in the Pulwama district, killing two men and wounding two civilians. Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, eager to earn bonus Jihad credits with Allah, claimed responsibility for the attack that was planned by their Hezb-ul-Mujahideen colleagues in Salahuddin's United Jihad Council.

Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen was founded by Muhammad Salah and Sheikh Abdullah Basit in 1990. They wanted to unite Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan and then turn Pakistan into an Islamic theocracy. Oh what a wonderful place it would be.

The JUM broke off from Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, the largest Islamic terrorist organization in Kashmir because of an internal dispute - yet they retained their seat at the United Jihad Council. Muhammad and Abdullah attempted to separate their gang from the larger Hezb-ul-Mujahideen by suggesting that they were Kashmir's purist militant group. (Hezb-ul-Mujahideen was organized by and is funded by the Pakistani government's Intelligence Service.

Jamiat-Ul-Mujahideen, however, was never able to muster sufficient support to become a primetime player. Beginning around 1996, JUM was outperformed by competing terrorist operations in the area - especially Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Muhammad. Due to the loss of several key leaders (terrorism is a dangerous business), the group became a little less lethal. But after compromising their purity and recruiting Pakistanis into their gang, the pure Kashmiri organization was back on its game.

- May 21, 2003: Muslims in Kashmir working for the militant arm of the most popular political party, Jamaat-e-Islami, believed that Allah wanted them to blow up another school so they did. This time the religious degenerates opted to hurl a grenade into the Saint Lucas Convent School in Anathag. They murdered one Christian woman and mutilated another.

- May 21, 2003: Nate Caldwell, 27, of Omaha, Nebraska died today in Iraq. He was killed when his vehicle rolled over in Baghdad while responding to a civilian call.

Leonard Harvey, 55, a British firefighter deployed in Iraq, died as the result of an unexplained illness.

- May 21, 2003: A group of Muslim militants with IQs lower than the number emblazoned on the AK-47s, murdered seven civilians in the village of Kalinovskaya, Russia with their assault rifles. They entered the adversary's home and systematically killed his wife and five children.

This same day, a man blew himself up with a grenade when police attempted to approach him in Ingushetia Province of Russia. The perpetrator, who was in a car, started shooting at the officers as they approached. But then, so as not to cancel his reservations in Allah's brothel, he detonating the grenade he was holding. Authorities believe that the man might have been an intifada fighter and martyr who was fighting for the Chechen cause - well, Allah's Cause anyway.

- May 21, 2003: Jews are good at thwarting Islamic attacks, after all they have lots of practice. Today IDF soldiers uncovered two 400-pound bombs near the Dugit settlement. They were detonated without harming anyone.

- May 23, 2003: The Saudi financed, political and religious terrorist organization known as HAMAS (Islamic Resistance Group) believed that Allah wanted them to fire an anti-tank missile at a bus full of women and children. Hoping to kill everyone onboard, Allah's commandos had to settle for injured nine passengers. Initial reports suggested the explosion could have been the result of a roadside bomb, but a communiqué from HAMAS's boys with toys wing, the al-Qassem Brigades, quickly cleared up the confusion, admitting that they had fired an anti-tank round at the bus.

- May 23, 2003: If it acts like a Muslim, it might be a Muslim. In Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo, a man carrying a hand grenade and a detonator in his pocket was stopped and arrested after an anonymous tip led police to him. They found the grenade as well as three tear gas shells in the car.

- May 24, 2003: In the crude OPEC swap of Algeria today Muslims saw to it that woman and her two children were killed in the Khouatmia hamlet - an area where terrorist attacks by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) and the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC) were frequent. These killings were linked to an attack on the Belhadj Aissa Qur'anic School earlier the same night.

At the Qur'anic school, four students were killed by the Salafist Group for Call and Combat. Another student was seriously wounded in the attack. Muslims don't like other Muslims any more than I do.

- May 25, 2003: In Kashmir, Hezb-ul-Mujahideen militants set fire to the home of a Village Defense Committee member in Keeri, Rajouri. The VDC member, his wife, and their three sons were all burned alive.

- May 26, 2003: David Evans, 18, died prematurely in an accidental explosion in an ammunition stockpile in Diwaniya, Iraq. David was guarding the Iraqi munitions when a steel structure he and another soldier had erected to keep out of the fierce heat and piercing sand collapsed, causing the stockpile to detonate. David's comrade in arms was badly wounded.

Jeremiah Smith, 25, was killed when his vehicle hit unexploded American ordnance while escorting heavy equipment in Baghdad. It was most likely a cluster bomb.

Mistakes aside, it was time for some Muslims to kill an American. Today, Mat Schram, 36, was killed in a convoy supply mission that came under "enemy fire" in Haditha, Iraq. The realization that this "enemy" was composed entirely of Muslim civilians never dawned on the politicians.

Brett Petriken, 30, and Kenneth Nalley, 19, lost their lives when a heavy U.S. transporter crossed the median and struck their Humvee while they were escorting a convoy in the other direction.

Keman Mitchell, 24, died when he jumped into a 7-foot deep body of water in Kirkuk, Iraq and failed to resurface. He was revived but was too far from quality medical care to be saved.

- May 26, 2003: Muslim militants associated with Hezb-ul-Mujahideen in Kashmir entered the home of a former Muslim militant in Tararawali and opened fire on his family, killing him and wounding his wife and father.

The following day, the bullet-ridden body of another assassination victim was found tossed in the street - there to dissuade others from resisting. But it was too late to save one student. His lifeless and decapitated body was placed outside of his home. His murderers had tortured him prior to killing him.

That same night, police recovered the mutilated remains of a man Muslims had kidnapped several days before. Then, the following evening, Kashmir Muslims entered the house of a rival terrorist. After he surrendered they opened fire on his family, killing three.

While the Kashmiri/Pakistani terrorist organizations Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, and Jaish-e-Muhammad all served with Salahuddin on the United Jihad Council, the various Islamic clubs competed for new recruits by demonstrating their superior brutality and by assassinating one another's leaders.

- May 26, 2003: Having succeeded on May 10th in soliciting a bribe from the Russians for the release of two kidnapped workers, Islamic clerics upped the ante. Today, seven Russian workers were ambushed by Islamic militants near the Dora power station, outside Baghdad. Two Russians were killed and the other five were wounded.

- May 27, 2003: The report says, "Michael Quinn, 37, of Tampa, Florida and Thomas Broomhead, 34, of Cannon City, Colorado, were killed on guard duty at a checkpoint by unknown assailants who pulled up to them in a civilian vehicle in Fallujah, Iraq and then opened fire." I beg to differ. These assailants had made themselves known. They were Shiite Muslims serving in the militia of the second-highest ranking Islamic cleric in Iraq, al Sadr. He and his militants would go on to murder and mutilate many Americans. But the Commander In Chief put a "do not kill and do not capture" designation on al-Sadr. Whose side was he on?

- May 27, 2003: Muslims in Chechnya thought it was a good idea to dress up as police and carry a bomb into a tea room in Urus-Martan. When their device detonated it severely injured four people, including a nine-year-old child.

On this same day, about twenty Chechen Muslims attacked the village of Ulus-Kert, seriously beating a man and his two sons. The religious congregation then took two local police officers as hostages to an unknown location. During their raid of the village, the devout Muslims demanded that the women arrested earlier in Ulus-Kert on suspicion of involvement in the hostage-taking at the theater in Moscow last October be released.

- May 28, 2003: Kenneth Bradley, 39, of Utica, Mississippi, died of "a non-combat related cause." It was a heart attack in Baquba, Iraq. Unlike the man who had sent him there, at least he had a heart to be broken. The lack of humanity required to perpetrate a war for personal political purposes based entirely upon false pretenses may be the most heartless thing a human can do. But it is surpassed in moral callousness when the perpetrator allowed more good people to die while he scrambled to justify the unjustifiable. Ego isn't a valid reason to go to war and pride isn't a satisfactory reason to stay at war.

- May 28, 2003: Muslim militants killed Jose Perez, 22, in an ambush while he was driving as member of a convoy through the town of Taji, Iraq.

- May 28, 2003: One of the reasons that I say that Muslims have a virtual monopoly on terrorism today is because their primary rivals for uncivil behavior are financial opportunists rather than politically and/or religiously motivated murderers. Today, FARC (the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia) assassinated the mayor of San Antonio, Belisario Tao Useche - shooting him five times. However, it was just business. FARC is engaged in the business of cocaine production, export, import, distribution, and sales. Occasionally they branch out and try kidnapping and extortion but that is only a side enterprise.

- May 28, 2003: The one time it would have been good for a Muslim succeed in assassinating an intended target, a Palestinian shot and killed one of Yasser Arafat's "Presidential Guards" in his car in southern Ramallah.

- May 29, 2003: As a precursor of what was to come in Iraq, America's intervention in Afghanistan brought out the worst in Muslims. Sunnis and Shia began killing one another. And so on this day, a bomb planted in a mosque in Teshkan, Afghanistan, exploded, damaging the mosque and killing one of the imams.

- May 29, 2003: In Afghanistan today, Pfc. Steve Kamins of Germany was killed when his Wolf all-terrain vehicle struck a mine while on patrol just seven miles south of Kabul.

- May 30, 2003: May in Iraq ended as it had begun. Three Americans were killed in a senseless accident. Mike Gleason, 25, and Kyle Griffin, 20, and Zachariah Long, 20 were ordered to drive through a raging sandstorm. They lost their lies in hellish conditions between Mosul and Tikrit, Iraq. Unable to see much beyond that which was immediately in front of them, they dodged to avoid a large pothole in the road, causing their Light Medium Tactical Vehicle to swerve and then turn over. It's just my opinion, but it's hard not to hold those accountable who had sent them out into this sandstorm.

May was worse than April, at least when one looks beneath the surface to learn how and why good men lost their lives. A total of 38 Americans and 3 British troops were killed in Iraq this month, 36 from mistakes and 5 from Muslims. The totals were now: Mishaps and Accidents: 140 (67% of the known total). Mistaking Muslims for Friends, not Foes: 63 (30% of the known total). Saddam's Army: 5 (2% of the total). Unknown: 7 (insufficient DoD data to ascertain cause of death). Total: 215 (178 Americans & 37 Brits). The total American Casualties were 598.

Sadly, during this time, the real enemy, Islam, was growing stronger, much stronger. The destabilization that had occurred as a result of the U.S. invading Iraq had sent crude prices soaring. Since OPEC was the funding source for Islamic indoctrination and terrorism, the world was becoming substantially more vulnerable while the United States was losing a distracting, costly, and unwinnable war. As a direct result, the most expensive weapons on earth, nuclear bombs, will funded by OPEC and conveyed by Muslims. The target will be America's largest cities. The timing: between 2010 and 2025.

- May 30, 2003: A Turkish Muslim blew off his own leg when he inadvertently detonated the fragmentation bomb he was wearing outside his intended target, the HSBC bank in Istanbul.

- May 30, 2003: Muslim militants in Kashmir, who were part of Hezb-ul-Mujahideen, wore army uniforms when they entered a home in the village of Kandi and shot a father and his son to death. The same evening, the Party of Holy Warriors kidnapped two political rivals from their homes and left their bullet-ridden bodies lying in the street. Working a full day, they went on to kidnap and then murder three shepherds.

- May 30, 2003: If you will recall, on May 14th police found and defused two lethal roadside bombs in Chechnya. Today they were not as fortunate. A remote-controlled explosive device that had been planted at the crossroads of Derbentskaya and Assinovskaya streets in Grozny detonated, killing three people and injuring at nine others. The bomb exploded as a minibus, carrying civilian workers drove passed. This attack came only a couple weeks after two suicide bombings by Muslims in Chechnya killed more than seventy people.

- May 31, 2003: In Hyderdbad, Pakistan, Muslims detonated a bomb in a passenger bus, wounding five. The bomb, which had been constructed locally, was fitted with wood splinters to make it more injurious. This was the sixteenth bombing in Hyderabad in less than two years.

- After thought: While I was searching for information regarding the circumstances surrounding Jeff Kaylor's death (April 7, 2003), I came upon this letter. It doesn't date to 2003, but since we began this month on an aircraft carrier, it seemed a fitting conclusion.

The soldier who would prompt the poignant correspondence, Michael Potocki would not die until July 1st, 2006. His unit came under civilian small-arms fire in Al Asad. He would have retired from the Army in August. The deceased was looking forward to civilian life as a Baltimore Police Officer. I share one soldier's perspective on his death because it speaks volumes.

Michael Potocki, 21, "died today of injuries sustained in Al Asad when his unit came in contact with enemy force's small arms fire during combat operations" read the press release from the Department of Defense. His best friend was fellow soldier, Ryan Kahlor. He wrote this the next day: "Dear Mom and Dad, The world keeps turning and so does the war in Iraq. Yesterday my friend was shot and killed. A sniper with an armor-piercing round shot PFC Potocki. He was 21-years-old. He bled out during surgery. He is the first in our platoon to be killed. His death has started an uproar of emotion in the platoon. Two people since have said they quit and will no longer fight. This is adding to those who have already said they are done fighting this war. No one understands why we are here and what our mission is. Potocki was a soldier who could not be replaced. He hated the army but never quit or bitched. The army did nothing but s--- on him and he still geared up every day. He wanted to go back to school when he got out but now his mom will have to bury him before his time. Dad, keep up your fight to send the troops home. This war is lost. We aren't helping these people we are just dying and getting injured. I can't imagine what his mother is going through right now. He was all she had. He never knew his father so they worked together to keep their house going. Now he is gone. Love, Ryan.".
