DAR AL ISLAM: MOSLEM CHILDREN ARE BRED & TAUGHT TO BECOME MUJAHID-"WE ARE GOING TO WIN, BECAUSE THEY LOVE LIFE & WE LOVE DEATH..."

Worshippers of Death
By ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ

Zahra Maladan is an educated woman who edits a women's magazine in Lebanon. She is also a mother, who undoubtedly loves her son. She has ambitions for him, but they are different from those of most mothers in the West. She wants her son to become a suicide bomber.

At the recent funeral for the assassinated Hezbollah terrorist Imad Moughnaya -- the mass murderer responsible for killing 241 marines in 1983 and more than 100 women, children and men in Buenos Aires in 1992 and 1994 -- Ms. Maladan was quoted in the New York Times giving the following warning to her son: "if you're not going to follow the steps of the Islamic resistance martyrs, then I don't want you."

Zahra Maladan represents a dramatic shift in the way we must fight to protect our citizens against enemies who are sworn to kill them by killing themselves. The traditional paradigm was that mothers who love their children want them to live in peace, marry and produce grandchildren. Women in general, and mothers in particular, were seen as a counterweight to male belligerence. The picture of the mother weeping as her son is led off to battle -- even a just battle -- has been a constant and powerful image.

Now there is a new image of mothers urging their children to die, and then celebrating the martyrdom of their suicidal sons and daughters by distributing sweets and singing wedding songs. More and more young women -- some married with infant children -- are strapping bombs to their (sometimes pregnant) bellies, because they have been taught to love death rather than life. Look at what is being preached by some influential Islamic leaders:

"We are going to win, because they love life and we love death," said Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah. He has also said: "[E]ach of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah." Shortly after 9/11, Osama bin Laden told a reporter: "We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the big difference between us."

"The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death," explained Afghani al Qaeda operative Maulana Inyadullah. Sheik Feiz Mohammed, leader of the Global Islamic Youth Center in Sydney, Australia, preached: "We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam. Teach them this: There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid." Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech: "It is the zenith of honor for a man, a young person, boy or girl, to be prepared to sacrifice his life in order to serve the interests of his nation and his religion."

How should Western democracies fight against an enemy whose leaders preach a preference for death?

DAR AL HARB-FRANCE: SELLING "COOL ISLAM" TO THE STUPID & IGNORANT FRENCH DHIMMI

French Muslims promote 'cool Islam'
By Robert Pigott

...

'Common values'

Medine - whose rap is more pleading than angry - is also part of a generational shift.
I've decided to talk about some of my values in my album - but it's not to say that my religion is best, or to say 'join my religion'

His raps set out to "sell" Islam to French society. But he doesn't emphasise Islam's religious dogma, stressing instead what he says are the universal principles it shares with Western society.

"I think that in all religions today, there are common human values", says Medine.

"I don't think that sharing is unique to Islam, or that generosity is unique to Catholicism, or love is unique to Judaism."

"I've decided to talk about some of my values in my album, but it's not to say that my religion is best or to say 'join my religion'. Not at all."

DAR AL HARB-ISRAEL: NO PEACE TALKS WITHOUT A HUDNA

Abbas Says No Talks Without Gaza Truce
By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH Associated Press Writer

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Wednesday he would not resume peace talks until Israel reaches a truce in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

Abbas suspended U.S.-backed peace talks earlier this week to protest Israel's crackdown in Gaza.

"The negotiations must be started, but after the truce," Abbas said. "Once the truce is achieved, the road will be open for negotiations."

He said Rice told him she would send an envoy to Egypt, which often mediates between Israel and Hamas. "There are real efforts being exerted by Egypt for the truce," Abbas said.

Although Abbas did not mention Hamas by name, his aides said the Islamic group must clearly be part of any deal. Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas' forces last year, and he wields little influence in the area.

Palestinians Will Resume Peace Talks
By AMY TEIBEL


Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Wednesday he will resume peace talks with Israel, backing off a threat to boycott negotiations until Israel reaches a truce with Hamas militants in Gaza.

"The peace process is a strategic choice and we have the intention of resuming the peace process," he said in a statement. He did not say when talks would restart, but visiting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said a U.S. general overseeing implementation of "the road map" peace plan would hold his first joint meeting with Israelis and Palestinians next week.

DAR AL HARB-U.S.A.-OHIO: 'MODERATE' MOSLEMS ON TRIAL FOR PLANNING & TRAINING FOR JIHAD

Terror Trial Begins in Ohio
By JOHN SEEWER

TOLEDO, Ohio - Jury selection began Tuesday in the trial of three men charged with plotting to recruit and train terrorists to attack U.S. and allied troops overseas.

Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi and Wassim I. Mazloum are accused of conspiring to kill or maim people outside the United States, including military personnel in Iraq.

They have all pleaded not guilty.

Federal prosecutors say the men, who live in Ohio, attended a Muslim convention in Cleveland during the summer of 2004 where they talked about training in explosives, guns and sniper tactics.

DAR AL HARB-U.K.: BRITISH AUTHORITIES 'FEAR' THAT DOZENS OF MISSING FEMALE STUDENTS HAVE MET THEIR FATE - - - ARRANGED MARRIAGES

Dozens of missing schoolchildren feared forced into arranged marriages
By CHRIS BROOKE

Dozens of children are missing from school amid fears they have been forced into arranged marriages, it was revealed yesterday.

In Bradford, 33 children remain "unaccounted for" after being off school for at least two months with no explanation.

The Government is also concerned about another 14 areas of the country where it is feared children under 16 could also be missing from school rolls.

The figures were disclosed yesterday by Children's Minister Kevin Brennan during evidence to the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, which is investigating the controversial issue of forced marriages.

...

"It is a serious concern when any child - any single child - becomes unaccounted for," said Mr Brennan.

"And what we need to try to do is seek an explanation of what has happened."

Asked whether the police were looking for them, he added:
"They should be."

Committee chairman Keith Vaz, a former Labour minister, said MPs were
"very, very concerned".

"The figures you have given us quite frankly have shocked members of this committee just in relation to Bradford," he said.

He added:
"There are 14 other areas where there are missing children. This is totally unsatisfactory."

...

A spokesman for the department of children, schools and families said
there was no evidence the "missing" children had been forced into marriage but Bradford was an area where "a forced marriage problem has been reported".

"We have asked the local authority to find out more details about these children," she said.

"They might have moved somewhere else or they may have left the country."

"This is a relatively new inquiry and we are trying to get more information."

A spokesman for the local education authority in Bradford played down any fears, saying parents may have simply failed to register their children at another school since moving house.

DAR AL HARB-U.K.: 'MODERATE' MOSLEMS RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO WAGE ECONOMIC JIHAD UPON BRITAINS DHIMMIS

Radical Muslim preacher caught on film giving advice on how to 'hoodwink' the Government over benefits

A radical Muslim preacher has been filmed talking about fraudulently claiming benefits and giving advice on how to cheat the Government.

Self-proclaimed extremist Abu Waleed was speaking at the London School of Shariah event in preparation for Ramadan, during which he also made jokes about Muslims taking backpacks on to the Underground.

The British-born radical retold fables from the koran before encouraging his audience to hoodwink the Government.

After a story about a wealthy man, he said: "There was one man, he had a lot of money - just like us, we have a lot of money today from the income support and the incapacity benefit."

"Obviously when you have the incapacity benefit, you want to make sure you walk with a limp when you leave the house just in case there's someone taking pictures. "

"Obviously you don't need to tell them that, the Department of Work and Pensions."


...

In the video, Waleed says:
"[God] will come to you if you praying ... maybe I left the toaster on ... or maybe I left the rucksack on the Underground - maybe they found some powder in there or something like that - but don't leave a rucksack on the Underground, they'll do you for terrorism."

Talking about the video, Mr Waleed said:
"My comments about the backpacks were not meant to glorify the attacks of 7/7 in any way."

"They were not meant to cause offence, the bombings were a horrendous act of terrorism, no one can deny that."

DAR AL HARB-EURABIA/E.U.: EUROPEANS ARE GIRDING FOR MOHAMMADANS & THEIR REACTION TO GEERT WILDERS FITNA

EU warns overseas offices over anti-Muslim film

The European Commission has warned its overseas offices of the risk of protests over plans by a Dutch far-right MP to screen a film critical of Islam, which has already angered some in the Muslim world.

The EU delegations "have been informed of the fact that there is going to be this film which could have effects, given the experience in the past with the publication of cartoons of the prophet," Mohammed in Denmark, European Commission spokeswoman on external affairs Christiane Hohmann told AFP.

The situation has not reached the "alert" stage which would signify that EU personnel were considered at risk, she added.

But "we have brought their attention to it, so that they are made aware," of the situation, said Hohmann.


Muslim-majority Bangladesh has called for the broadcast to be cancelled, Afghan lawmakers have demonstrated against it and the Taliban has warned it will step up attacks on Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan.

But Geert Wilders, head of the Dutch far-right Freedom Party, said that if he finds a Dutch broadcaster to show the film uncut it could be on the air within a couple of days, and that he otherwise plans to present it at a press conference later this month and on the Internet.

The film, which lasts around 15 minutes, is called "Fitna", which in Arabic means war, or division, in the heart of Islam.

...


If the movie will be released it will be found at FITNA .

DAR AL HARB-IRELAND: AL QAEDA & OTHER JIHADISTS FIND IRELAND A 'CONVENIENT' PLACE TO HIDE OUT & PLAN THE MOSLEM JIHAD

Irish Terrorism Goes Islamic

Britain's MI-5 (domestic intelligence service) has expanded its operations in the neighboring Irish Republic, after increased al Qaeda, and Islamic radical, activity was detected. Three Afghan men were recently arrested, in a room full of bomb making materials. There are dozens of similar suspects under surveillance. For the last three decades, Ireland and Britain have cooperated on domestic security issues, initially because of a mutual need to keep an eye on the IRA (Irish Republican Army) terrorists. The IRA has devolved into a criminal gang, but al Qaeda, and other Islamic radical groups have found Ireland a convenient place to hide out and plan their next atrocity.

...

There have been no Islamic terrorist attacks in Ireland yet, but the latest arrests indicate that it's only a matter of time.

DAR AL HARB-ISRAEL: ISRAEL KILLS A LEADER OF ISLAMIC JIHAD, PROMISES OF REVENGE FOLLOW

Jihad claims Israeli assassination of one of its leaders

Al-Quds Brigade of the Islamic Jihad in Palestine accused Israeli forces Wednesday of executing one of its leaders in Gaza Strip during incursions last night.


The brigade said in a statement that Yousif Sulaiman Al-Sumairi, 47, one of its top leaders in Gaza Strip, was killed after Special Israeli Forces surrounded his home last night.


"Al-Sumairi clashed with Israeli forces who arrested him later on and executed him in cold blood, in addition to his son and several others," the statement said.

The brigade promised to resist and revenge the blood of those killed in Jihad.

Meanwhile, Israeli fighter planes launched air raids earlier this morning, targeting several areas of northern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian security sources said, "There were three Israeli raids which included targeting empty areas with missiles in Bait Lahai and Bait Hanoun, but they caused no casualties." On the other hand, the Israeli Army said that its helicopters launched three raids earlier today on northern Gaza Strip areas.
