Jenin 'massacre' reduced to death toll of 56
By Paul Martin
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


JENIN, West Bank — Palestinian officials yesterday put the death toll at
56 in the two-week Israeli assault on Jenin, dropping claims of a massacre of
500 that had sparked demands for a U.N. investigation. Top Stories
• U.S. joins effort to create Palestine

The official Palestinian body count, which is not disproportionate to the
33 Israeli soldiers killed in the incursion, was disclosed by Kadoura Mousa
Kadoura, the director of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement for the northern West
Bank, after a team of four Palestinian-appointed investigators reported to him
in his Jenin office.
[Two weeks ago, when European and particularly London newspapers were
reporting estimates of "hundreds" massacred, Israeli sources in Washington said
they expected the Palestinian toll to reach "45 to 55."]
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan suggested yesterday, in the wake of the
Palestinian body count, that he may disband a U.N. fact-finding team that was
to visit the camp to determine whether a massacre had taken place.
Mr. Annan was responding to a decision by the Israeli security Cabinet
earlier in the day not to cooperate with the U.N. team.
The U.N.-Israeli dispute appeared unrelated to the Palestinian admission
there had been no massacre.
The Palestinians had suggested that most of the bodies were buried beneath
the rubble of houses bulldozed by Israeli troops. No digging for bodies was
taking place here, and there was no stench that could have come from decaying
human flesh.
The earlier Palestinian claims had sparked international outrage and
prompted the Bush administration to press Israel to accept a fact-finding
mission by the United Nations, an organization that the Jewish state regards as
having a pro-Palestinian bias.
Mr. Kadoura yesterday showed a reporter for The Washington Times the
official Palestinian list of those who died. It contained 50 names. Six
additional bodies, he said, had not been identified.
He no longer used the ubiquitous Palestinian charge of "massacre" and
instead portrayed the battle as a "victory" for Palestinians in resisting
Israeli forces. "Here the Israelis, who tried to break the Palestinian
willpower, have been taught a lesson," Mr. Kadoura said.
He insisted that Israel had tried but failed, thanks to the heavy
fighting, to destroy the entire warren of homes in the camp that had housed
11,000 people.
The destruction, pictured graphically on television, appeared linked to
Israeli bulldozing of the houses from which the remnant of the resistance
forces were firing.
In fact, it covers the size of a large football field and constitutes only
about 10 percent of the housing in the camp, and a far smaller proportion of
the housing in the city, which was largely left untouched by the Israeli
incursion.
The figures shown to The Times included 233 injured persons, mainly men.
The figures revealed that 18 persons had been injured and one had died after
the fighting had ended, the result of accidentally detonating either shells
left after the fighting, or booby traps that were set by Palestinian gunmen
throughout the camp.
A British expert attached to the International Red Cross said these booby
traps were almost identical to those used by the Irish Republican Army.
The British claim suggested to analysts that IRA guerrillas were schooled
in terrorist weaponry and irregular warfare, as were many radical guerrilla
movements, in Palestinian, Syrian and Iranian training camps in Lebanon.
From behind a desk bedecked by portraits of Mr. Arafat, a string of
past "martyrs" and of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, the Palestinian chief
official in the city, who is also the Fatah leader, portrayed in an interview
the events as another chapter in a long saga of resistance to foreign invaders —
from Crusader times onward — that, he said, had made Jenin "the heart of
Palestine" for centuries.
The propaganda war continues, meanwhile, in the refugee camp itself.
Families whose homes had been destroyed were ordered to sit and lie inside
tents pitched near the destruction, to be available for interviews and filming
with foreign reporters and photographers. At dusk, with the press opportunities
concluded, they returned to houses offered to them in the undamaged city or in
the rest of the refugee camp.
Other young men, members of various factions, have been on duty in the
camp's narrow streets, eager to conduct foreign correspondents to places where
they say Israelis killed militants after they surrendered or had been captured.
Others in the city say the resistance to the Israeli incursion had been
carried out by only about 10 percent of the militants who had originally been
in the area. Most had retreated into the hills or into city back streets as the
Israelis entered the area, they said.
Families living in houses directly opposite the destroyed area have told
The Washington Times that Israeli soldiers, who temporarily occupied their
houses just before the final battle began, treated them without violence and
assured them: "You will not be harmed."
They confined the 36 members of the Abu Khalil family to two rooms,
allowing them out one by one, and set up a snipers' point upstairs through two
holes in the wall — under a family framed message in Arabic: "There is No God
but Allah and Mohammed is His Messenger."
They confiscated identity cards but left them on the table before slipping
out during the night.
At the United Nations in New York, Undersecretary-General Kieran
Prendergast said "a thorough, credible and balanced report on recent events in
Jenin refugee camp would not be possible without the cooperation of the
government of Israel."
"Since it appears from today's Cabinet statement by Israel that the
difficulties in the way of deployment of the fact-finding team will not be
resolved anytime soon, the secretary-general is minded to disband the team," he
told reporters after briefing the U.N. Security Council.
Diplomats said Mr. Prendergast told council members that Mr. Annan was
leaning toward disbanding the three-member team, which has been joined by
numerous advisers. The team, which was to have arrived in Jenin on Saturday,
remained in Geneva yesterday.
The Security Council is to take up the issue of whether or not to disband
the mission at a meeting today.
The United States put forward the resolution adopted by the Security
Council welcoming the dispatch of a U.N. team to find out what happened in
Jenin during the Israeli military's attacks.
Israel initially agreed to the idea, but subsequently raised questions
over the composition of the team, its scope of inquiry, who could be called as
a witness and what documents would be presented to the panel.
Mr. Prendergast said that "with every passing day, it becomes more
difficult to determine what happened" in Jenin. U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte
said Mr. Annan was considering whether to let the fact-finding team begin its
work in Geneva or "simply abandoning the mission on the assumption that
satisfactory terms of reference could not be worked out."

Are We Safer?by Daniel Pipes

[datsh]

Are We Safer?
by Daniel Pipes
New York Post
April 30, 2002
Are Americans taking the necessary steps to protect themselves from further
attacks?
This question comes to mind on reading a news dispatch titled, "Iran
Enthusiastically Celebrates the American ‘Humiliation' at Tabas 22 Years Ago."

It refers to Tabas, a remote desert town in Iran - the site of a U.S. military
disaster. On April 25, 1980, a rescue team sent by President Jimmy Carter to
spring 49 Americans held hostage in the U.S. embassy in Tehran had to abort
when two U.S. aircraft collided at Tabas, leaving eight soldiers dead.

To this day, Iran's militant Islamic leadership keeps the memory of that day
alive. Last week, the government bused thousands of militiamen to Tabas where
they prayed and shouted slogans like "Death to America" and "Death to Israel."
It will build a museum in Tabas exclusively devoted to chronicling the failed
U.S. mission. Iranian television news informs viewers that the failure "proves
the weakness of the United States."

The disaster has gone down the memory hole for Americans. But it's Americans
(and Israelis and other Westerners) who really should be recalling the Tabas
incident, for it marked a major turning point.

It was when the current round of militant Islam's war against the West took its
first fatalities. "Death to America" proved to be not an empty slogan but the
battle cry of this era's most vibrant and dangerous extremist ideology.

In retrospect, it is clear that the eight deaths at Tabas were the very first
in a sequence that has continued for over two decades. Consider just some of
the attacks on Americans:

* April 1983: U.S. embassy in Beirut bombed, killing 63.

* October '83: U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut bombed, killing 241.

* December '83: U.S. embassy in Kuwait bombed, killing 6.

* January '84: Malcolm Kerr, president of the American University of Beirut,
assassinated.

* April '84: Hezbollah attacks the environs of a U.S. airbase in Spain, killing
18 servicemen.

* September '84: U.S. embassy in Beirut again bombed, killing 16.

* December '84: Two Americans murdered on a hijacked plane in Tehran.

* June '85: U.S. seaman killed on a hijacked plane in Beirut.

And on and on. More recent incidents include the World Trade Center bombing of
February '93, the two attacks on U.S. soldiers in Saudi Arabia in '95 and '96,
the two U.S. embassies blown up in East Africa in August '98 and the USS Cole
bombed in Yemen in October 2000. In all, some 600 Americans lost their lives to
militant Islam before September 2001.

All of these were highly publicized incidents, dominating the headlines and
furrowing brows about an effective counterterrorism policy. But they did not
inspire action. The U.S. government neither attacked the enemy nor changed
policies. For example, the 241 dead at the Marine barracks bombing (the largest
number of Americans killed by militant Islam before 9/11) brought forth no
retaliation at all and the World Trade Center bombing prompted no review of
immigration procedures.

In short, although Americans were repeatedly attacked, they barely responded.
One can hardly blame the militant Islamic groups and governments for concluding
that the United States was weak, demoralized and ripe for attack. The
population was feckless, distracted and complacent, the government incompetent.

And now? The trauma of September changed some things but not enough. The
government won't name militant Islam as the enemy but hides behind the
euphemism of "terrorism." The CIA and FBI remain largely unchanged. Airline
security is a sham. Israel is constrained from rooting out the Palestinian
terrorist infrastructure.

As the sense of vulnerability and resolve of seven months ago dissipates,
Americans are returning to business as usual. Sept. 11 increasingly feels like
a remote nightmare without much relevance to the present circumstances.

To which I predict: If things proceed in this direction, there can only be one
certain result - further assaults perpetrated by militant Islam. The carnage
begun that awful day in the Iranian desert in 1980 will not run its course
until Americans understand how much they need to fear and loathe militant
Islam. We can only hope this happens sooner rather than later, so that the
number of casualties to come will be smaller rather than larger

Kill a Jew for Allah

by John Derbyshire


The Mideast problem

Recently got a long, carefully composed e-mail from a reader, who begged me
to circulate it among "other opinion-formers." It laid out a plan for peace
in the Middle East. The writer, obviously an intelligent and well-informed
person, had composed the e-mail with great care. With some passion, too -
he really wants to find a solution to the Israel-Arab problem. Here was a
public-spirited person doing his citizenly best to promote an idea that, he
fervently believed, would put an end to the horrors.


And what was that idea? In a nutshell: The U.S. should lean hard on Israel
to abandon the Jewish settlements in Arab land - i.e. beyond Israel's
pre-1967 borders. These settlements (my reader argued) were the root cause
of all the strife. Closing them down would remove the main casus belli; and
the good faith shown by this act would open the eyes of the Arabs to the
fact that peace with Israel is possible. The logjam would be broken. I
don't know what to say to people like this. Obviously they are decent, good
citizens. Obviously they are trying their best - trying to be constructive,
to give some hope to the world. How do I tell them what I feel? Which is,
that they are floating in orbit between Uranus and Neptune- inhabiting some
place that does not touch the real world at any point.

Look: Possibly there would be some abstract justice in closing down the
settlements, I don't know. I don't see it myself, I must admit. Why should
Jews not live among Arabs? Lots of Arabs live in Israel, and do very well
there. There are rich Israeli Arabs; there are Israeli-Arab pop stars and
comedians; there are Israeli-Arab intellectuals, teachers, writers,
businessmen, athletes. Why, when the whole thing gets sorted out, should
there not be Jews living in Arab territory -" as there were for centuries
past? What, exactly, is wrong with the settlements? I don't see it.

But, okay, let's suppose there is some valid moral objection to the
existence of the settlements; and let's suppose my reader's plan were to be
carried out, and all the settlements were removed, their populations
transferred back to metropolitan Israel, their buildings razed, their
fields ploughed with salt. Does anybody think it would make a damn bit of
difference? There was no such thing as settlements, no such thing as
"occupied territories," before the 1967 war. There were no such things in
1960, for example, when Adolf Eichmann was abducted from his hiding-hole in
Buenos Aires by Israeli secret agents, an event recorded by Saudi Arabia's
principal government-controlled newspaper as: "ARREST OF EICHMANN, WHO HAD
THE HONOR OF KILLING 6 MILLION JEWS".

The problem of the Middle East is not the settlements. It is not this piece
of land or that piece. It is not the Golan Heights or East Jerusalem or
Temple Mount. It is not oil, or land, or water, or history, or geography,
or metaphysics. The problem is in plain sight. You know what the problem
is, and so do I. The problem is that the Middle East hates the Jews.

I say "the Middle East" because I don't know any more precise way to say
it. You can't say "the Arabs" (though of course the Arabs hate the Jews
more than anyone), because the Iranians and the Pakistanis and the Berbers
of North Africa hate the Jews too, and they are not Arabs. You can't say
"the Muslims". That is a lot closer, I think, and there surely cannot be
much doubt that institutional Islam is riddled with Jew-hatred. Still,
Malaysia is a Muslim country, and they don't hate the Jews, except in a
go-along, pro forma sort of way, to keep on good terms with the Saudis and
Gulf Emirs.

And I am sure, before you write to tell me, that lots of people in the
Middle East don't hate the Jews. Lots of Arabs, millions probably, don't
hate the Jews. Probably lots of non-Arab Muslims don't hate the Jews,
either. Yet it's hard to avoid the impression, from reading the
(http://memri.org/news.html)MEMRI translations, from looking at the kinds
of things taught in schools all over the Middle East (and in Islamic
schools here in the U.S.A. - see below), from listening to the
pronouncements of Middle East politicians (remember the Syrian foreign
minister explaining to the Pope - to the Pope! - that: "When I see a Jew in
front of me, I kill him"?) and from random conversations with New York cab
drivers, that visceral, murderous Jew-hatred is awfully widespread among
Arabs, Pakistanis, Iranians, and North Africans. Awfully widespread.

In between getting that e-mail and answering it, I did two unrelated
things, by way of my daily work. One was to prepare an editorial snippet
for the print National Review about Islamic schools here in the U.S., based
on a long study in the Washington Post of February 25th. There are
estimated to be between 200 and 600 private Islamic day schools in the
U.S., with up to 30,000 students in attendance. They use textbooks imported
from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. One in use at the Islamic Saudi Academy in
suburban Virginia instructs readers that a sure sign of the Day of Judgment
will be that Muslims will fight and kill Jews, who will hide behind trees
that say: "Oh Muslim, Oh servant of God, there is a Jew hiding behind me.
Come here and kill him." School authorities did some fast damage control
when the Post confronted them (as the Saudis are doing over the now-famous
(http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel031802.shtml)Blood Libel
article). The textbooks are in process of being replaced with special
versions more suitable for American students, they assured us, with the
kill-a-Jew-for-Allah stuff left out. Presumably that stuff remains
untouched back home in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Syria, Iran,
Libya,... Their kiddies will get the right message, you can be sure: "What
do you mean, you don't hate Jews? Look, even the blessed trees hate them!"

The other thing I did was read Jeffrey Goldberg's article about Saddam
Hussein in The New Yorker (titled "The Great Terror" in the 3/25/02 issue).

"Iraqi dissidents agree that Iraq's programs to build weapons of mass
destruction are focused on Israel. 'Israel is the whole game,' Ahmad
Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress, told me. .... "[Saddam]
thinks he can kill one hundred thousand Israelis in a day with biological
weapons....' Students of Iraq and its government generally agree that
Saddam would like to project himself as leader of all the Arabs, and that
the only sure way to do that is by confronting Israel."

Seems to me, from what I read and hear, that those students are quite
right: That by "confronting Israel" via killing a hundred thousand Israelis
in a day, Saddam would win the hearts of the entire Arab world, and of the
Iranians, Pakistanis, Afghans and North Africans, too. (Does Hamid Karzai,
Washington's new darling, hate Jews? Has anyone asked him?) I am sure
Saddam himself believes this to be the case, and he is, with all his
endearing little character flaws, a man who knows something about the Arab
mentality.

It is not too difficult to envisage a plan by which the spoken grievances
of the Arabs against Israel could be addressed, and some compromise struck.
The chancelleries of the world - including Israel's - are in fact full of
such plans, drawn up with loving care by legions of diplomats, experts,
politicians, ambassadors, scholars and private do-gooders like my reader,
across decades of time. In an atmosphere of goodwill, and genuine desire
for a solution, the Palestine circle could be squared. You'd just have to
pull one of those plans down from the shelf, blow the dust off it, and say:
"Let's take this for a starting point, shall we?" The circle is not going
to be squared though - not by George

to be squared though - not by George W. Bush, not by my e-mail pal with his
elaborate scheme to shut down the settlements, not by another round of
"shuttle diplomacy," not by any amount of work on a "peace process". It
isn't going to be, because there is no goodwill, and no real desire on the
part of Israel's enemies for a solution. Or rather, there is a widespread
desire for only one solution - the extinction of Israel and the driving
out, or mass killing, of the Jews. That's what they want, the Middle East;
that's all they want.

I don't think we should be sending diplomats to the Middle East. I think we
should be sending teams of psychiatrists. This is a diseased culture, a
sick culture. Go back to that disgraceful recycling of the Blood Libel in
the Saudi press. Do you think anyone in that newspaper's readership thought
there was anything odd about it, anything deplorable about it, anything
untrue about it? I don't think so. To the newspaper readers of Saudi
Arabia, it was routine stuff, a statement of the obvious. If MEMRI hadn't
brought it to the attention of the civilized world, do you think the Saudi
authorities would have bothered about it? Do you think, even now, they
really have a clue what all the fuss is about? Of course the Jews use
gentile blood to make their cookies. Doesn't everyone know that? We'd best
pretend to be shocked, though. Those Americans are so-o-o sensitive!

We are dealing here with people who are, not to put too fine a point on it,
nuts. The Arabs, the Iranians, the Pakis, the Libyans: they are nuts, the
great majority of them. Nuts. Not playing with a full deck. Not too tightly
wrapped. One brick short of a load, one coupon short of a toaster. The
smoke not going all the way up the chimney. Not quite 16 annas to the
rupee. Nuts.

Is there anything we can do about it? Only what Peggy Noonan told us to do
in her brilliant Wall Street Journal piece last week: Do what you do when
you find yourself in a roomful of glittering-eyed lunatics down at the
local funny farm. Keep smiling, talk softly, don't make any sudden moves,
keep nodding and smiling, and keep a tight hand on the stun gun in your
pocket. The Middle East contains three hundred million people, and most of
them are crazy as coots. Glad I don't live there.

WASHINGTON, May 19&# 8212;U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney

[zupagrzybowa]

By Arshad Mohammed
Reuters
Sunday, May 19, 2002; 3:27 PM


WASHINGTON, May 19—U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said on Sunday that a new
attack on the United States was "almost certain" as U.S. intelligence officials
picked up signals that a fresh al Qaeda strike could be in the works.

Speaking in two television interviews, Cheney also sought to blunt criticism
the Bush administration failed to pick up hints last summer that critics
believe might have helped prevent the Sept. 11 attacks.

"In my opinion the prospects of a future attack against the United States are
almost certain," Cheney said on NBC's "Meet the Press" program. "(It's) not a
matter of if, but when."

"We don't know if it's going to be tomorrow or next week or next year, partly
because I think we're having some success at disrupting the organization,
making it more difficult for them to carry out their operations," he
added. "But the prospect of another attack against the United States is very,
very real."

A White House official said on Saturday U.S. intelligence officials have
detected "enhanced activity" that points to a potential new attack against the
United States or American interests abroad.

The FBI also warned of a possible plot by Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden's
al Qaeda network, which the United States believes carried out the Sept. 11
attacks, to detonate bombs in U.S. apartment buildings.

The comments came as The New York Times reported U.S. intelligence agencies had
intercepted a series of messages among al Qaeda operatives indicating the group
was attempting to launch an attack as big as or bigger than the one on Sept. 11.

Quoting unnamed intelligence and law enforcement officials, the Times
characterized the communications as vague but disturbing, saying they were so
general they have left U.S. President George W. Bush and U.S. officials
uncertain about the timing, location or method in any new potential attack.

'There Were Failures'


On Sunday, Cheney acknowledged the U.S. government failed to anticipate the
Sept. 11 attacks, which killed more than 3,000 people in New York, Washington
and Pennsylvania, and partly blamed a system that did not adequately coordinate
information from intelligence services and domestic law enforcement.

"There's no question but what there were failures. We obviously did not know
what was about to happen. We were unable to prevent it," he told "Meet the
Press."

But Cheney also voiced anger at what Bush has called "second-guessing" by
Democrats who last week pounced on the disclosure that the president had
received an Aug. 6 briefing evoking the possibility of al Qaeda hijacking.

"There is nothing in there that's actionable intelligence," Cheney said of the
Aug. 6 written analysis, which he said dealt mostly with the history of al
Qaeda strikes and did not provide the kind of specific information needed to
prevent an attack.

Critics have suggested the White House failed to piece together a string of
hints that, in retrospect, appeared to presage the attacks on America.

These include a 1999 report written for the CIA that said bin Laden-linked
suicide bombers might slam an explosives-laden plane into the Pentagon, the CIA
or the White House and a memo written in July by an FBI agent in Phoenix urging
his superiors to investigate Middle Eastern men at U.S. flight schools.

"The fact that the FBI had this explosive memo that was sent from Phoenix ...
and it just sat there for months and months—it was not even transmitted to the
CIA ... just shows we have a long way to go in terms of sharing information,"
said Sen. Richard Shelby, the Alabama Republican and vice chairman of the
Senate Intelligence Committee.

"I still have a deep sense of anger that anyone would suggest that the
president ... had advance knowledge that he failed to act on," Cheney said,
saying he was not convinced the government could have prevented Sept. 11 even
if information like the FBI agent's memo had made its way to the White House.

Speaking on the "Fox News Sunday" program, Cheney said it was "almost
impossible" to create a fool-proof defense against attacks, noting that Israel—
with a vaunted intelligence service and a much smaller geographic area to
protect—had not been able to prevent a string of suicide bombings.

......Rosja a terroryzm islamski

www.russian.5u.com/RUSSIAN_SOCIETY.htm


Welcome to the Russian Society website. We are a group of Russian students who
want to protest against the evil religion of Islam and what the Muslim
terrorists are doing to our beloved nation. The Chechnya war is still raging
and we have lost thousands of innocent soldiers, most of them young kids like
us, aged around 17! The Muslim terrorists have declared a jihad on Russia and
are trained by Osama Bin Laden and his criminal Taleban followers. The
Russians have been defending their country from these Islamic barbarians who
are killing in the name of Allah (the Devil) and trying to create an
independent state out of our holy mother Russia.

We simply cannot allow this to happen and we will be fighting until we have
victory over these maniacs who kill innocent people and children. Even when
some of our soldiers surrender they are still tortured and treated in a most
horrific manner as this is what Islam teaches. It says that non-Muslim Kaffirs
must be killed or converted and their women are allowed to be raped and their
children allowed to be sold in to slavery. They call this a religion?

Islam is nothing more than an evil cult which needs to be destroyed. The
Muslims have done nothing but cause trouble and unhappiness for millions of
people. Where is there any peace when a Muslim is your neighbor? Muslims have
little or no conscience as they are always ready to kill anyone who doesn't
agree with their evil ideology. Chechnya is a part of Russia as Kashmir is a
part of India and as Kosovo is a part of Serbia. These barbarians always move
in peacefully, then after a few years when there numbers are high, they
declare a jihad (holy war) and demand a separate state for Muslims!

So tomorrow they will do it to the western countries too. When they become a
large population in say New York for example, don't be surprised when they
declare a jihad and demand that New York be turned into an Islamic state. They
will make it like Afghanistan no doubt, some lunatic nation which thinks its a
paradise! Well if that's a paradise then we think we will rather go to hell!
Why is it that wherever these Muslims are there is trouble? Muslims and misery
seem to go hand in hand. Also they don't like the west but still they choose
to live there, why not live in their own Islamic 'paradises'?

Look at Muslim nations all over the world, they are all pathetic failures and
it is because of Islam, they are still in the dark ages, while we in the west
have progressed and created great civilisations. If it came down to it then
the Russians will have no choice but to use its weapons of mass destruction
against the Islamic world. They don't realize that they are dealing with the
former superpower, the Soviet Union! It will only be a matter of time until we
are pushed to the limit and we unleash all hell on the Muslims! Our soldiers
are dying everyday for the freedom of the people of Chechnya who don't want
anything to do with these Muslim barbarians, the followers of a child
molester, a rapist and a mass murderer! Mohammed their so-called 'prophet'
made many wars against defenseless people and tribes, wiping them out and
stealing all their possessions.

The Koran of the Muslims is the most evil book in history and they have the
cheek to call it a holy book? it is more like an unholy book. A book which
preaches nothing but child molestation and murdering innocent people who don't
agree with it and its nut case ideology. Islam is the religion of the devil
himself and should be stopped using all means necessary. The Russians have
limited patience and will not just stand by while our nation is destroyed by
the evil soldiers of Allah. Be warned. Russia is a sleeping giant, the Muslims
need to be careful, for when this giant awakes, all hell will break loose and
Islam will be totally destroyed once and for all!!! LONG LIVE RUSSIA!!!



MURDER OF RUSSIANS



ISLAM SAYS KILL ALL NON-MUSLIMS



(2:191): “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where
they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not
with them at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first)
fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the
recompense of the disbelievers.” THE HOLY KORAN

(2:193): “And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and
worshipping of others along with Allâh) and (all and every kind of) worship is
for Allâh (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except
against Az-Zâlimûn (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)” THE HOLY KORAN



PICTURES OF EVIL ISLAMIC JIHAD





Russian Soldier tortured and beheaded by Islamic law





Russians ambushed and murdered in cold blood





Muslims who bombed a Russian army installation





Murdered Russians displayed before a Muslim leader





Muslim standing on a dead teenage Russian soldier



This is the true face of Islam. This is what Islam holds for all of us in the
future as it grows and breeds out of control. Islam must be exposed for the
evil that it is and it must be stopped by all means necessary and by all the
freedom loving people in the world. If we do not act now, then one day they
will make a hell hole of the whole world, not just Russia! We must all unite
to fight this evil ideology and stop it now before its too late. Russians want
peace! Russians will win! LONG LIVE RUSSIA!

Interview on Radio Sawa with Mouaffaq Harb

Secretary Colin L. Powell
Washington, DC
June 25, 2002

MR. HARB: This is Mouffaq Harb. Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary

SECRETARY POWELL: Good morning, Mouffaq. How are you?

MR. HARB: Good. Thank you, sir. The President said yesterday that peace
requires new and different Palestinian leadership. Do we understand
that from now on you will suspend any high-level contacts with the
Palestinian leadership?

SECRETARY POWELL: We will remain in touch with the Palestinian leaders.
As you know, we still have a chargé there, and we are in touch with
different Palestinian leaders as recently as yesterday, before the
President's speech as well as after.

But the President has made it clear, and we will make it clear, that we
believe in order to go forward we really do need to see a fundamental
transformation within the Palestinian government, within the
Palestinian Authority. We know that work is ongoing with respect to
transformation that includes writing of a new constitution,
consideration of elections, and an understanding that what we have seen
in recent years frankly has been no progress toward peace and
intensification of terrorist activity which has not been brought under
control.

The President is committed

MR. HARB: From your speech in Louisville to the President's statement
yesterday, now we have a clear idea how the final solution may look

SECRETARY POWELL: A number of people want to see the details: How do we
get there? And there will be some very difficult steps ahead and very
difficult negotiations ahead as you try to find an answer acceptable to
both sides with respect to return of refugees or the final status of
Jerusalem or borders and things of that nature. These are difficult
issues, and I think it's a little unreasonable to expect us to

Getting rid of Arafat

EDITORIAL • June 25, 2002

Getting rid of Arafat

President Bush made it unmistakably clear yesterday that Palestinian
Authority (PA) Chairman Yasser Arafat is the No. 1 obstacle to freedom and a
good life for the Palestinians. Speaking from the White House, Mr. Bush
rightly emphasized that the Palestinian Authority must reform itself first.
That means getting rid of Mr. Arafat and the terrorism that has flourished
under his brutal hand.
Although the president did not mention Mr. Arafat by name, he delivered a
scathing critique of his leadership, pointing to the "official corruption"
that has long pervaded the PA as an obstacle to peace with Israel. "Peace
requires a new and different Palestinian leadership so that a Palestinian
state can be born," Mr. Bush said. For the Palestinians to obtain a state of
their own at the side of Israel, "reform must be more than cosmetic changes or
a veiled attempt to preserve the status quo."
Mr. Bush was most forceful and eloquent in demanding that the
Palestinians get out of the terrorism business for good. He warned the
Palestinians to oppose efforts to smuggle Iranian arms to terrorist groups
operating in the West Bank and Gaza, and demanded that Syrian dictator Bashar
Assad shut down terrorist camps in areas under his control.
Mr. Bush declared that the United States will assist the Palestinians in
working toward statehood within three years if they elect new leaders who
aren't stained by continuing involvement in terrorism. "It is untenable for
Israeli citizens to live in terror. It is untenable for Palestinians to live
in squalor and occupation. The current situation offers no prospect that life
will improve," Mr. Bush said. "When the Palestinian people have new leaders,
new institutions and new security arrangements with their neighbors, the
United States of America will support the creation of a Palestinian state."
Its borders and "certain aspects of sovereignty" would be provisional until
resolved as part of a final peace settlement with Israel.
Clearly understanding that democracies where there are mechanisms for
curbing executive power tend not to provoke wars with their neighbors, Mr.
Bush said that the Palestinians should hold legislative elections by the end
of this year, and that their new state-in-waiting should have a constitution.
He said the United States, the European Union, the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund would stand prepared to help oversee Palestinian
financial reforms, and that the United States and other developed nations
would increase humanitarian assistance in order "to relieve Palestinian
suffering."
In all, this is a credible outline for achieving peace between the
Israelis and the Palestinians. But it is only an outline. Achieving the first
critical step in Mr. Bush's plan — engineering the removal of Mr. Arafat and
instituting "new and different" Palestinian leadership — is likely to be the
most difficult. The president must impress on certain members of his
administration that they must not undermine his message, with schemes of their
own, in the days ahead.

Center: Tom Note, radio reporter for several NYC stations, describes the
aftermath of the attacks on the twin towers on the morning of September 11,
2001--"The tragedy defies superlatives; radio and even television are limited
severely in their abilities to describe more than the surface facts when
things are this enormous. When the superhuman efforts of the fire department
and other rescue personnel started to take their toll on exhausted bodies, St.
Vincent's Hospital in Greenwich Village sent out an urgent plea. More than
blood, more than money, what was needed was soup to keep these heroic women
and men going, as well as insulated coffee pitchers to pour it from. Soup
would keep longer, be transported more easily, and pack more nutrients into
less volume than other comestibles. (There was also a call for Baby Wipes and
tissues as the acrid smoke needed to be constantly wiped from burning eyes.
Several other items you might not associate with rescue efforts were
additionally requested, however soup and Baby Wipes seemed to be at the top of
most lists for the first three days after the attack). As of Saturday the call
for soup and other food and item donations has been called off, as a steady
supply line of most necessary items has been established."

II. Sharon Is Supportive, Prepares for Storm
Second DEBKAfile Article on Impact of US Palestinian Scheme
21 July: The unconventional makeup of the delegation Israeli prime minister
Ariel Sharon sent to Washington Saturday night, July 20, betrays his
ambivalent attitude on the Bush administration’s plan to restructure the
Palestinian Authority from top to bottom. That delegation has two heads: the
prime minister’s chef de bureau Dov Weissglass and his former military
secretary Maj.Gen Moshe Kaplinksy, who takes up the IDF’s West bank command
after his return.
The two men are poles apart on the Palestinian issue.
Weissglass shares the European, Egyptian and, up to a point, the Saudi view
that the Palestinian Authority stands in need of only limited reforms. They
want to retain Yasser Arafat in a ceremonial capacity and introduce a strong
Palestinian prime minister.
Weissglass would like to see as prime minister one of his former Palestinian
business associates from the time before he entered public life. His first
choice would be Arafat’s financial adviser Mohammed Rashid; former Gaza Strip
head of security Muhammed Dahlan, his second, with Rashid serving as deputy
and finance minister.
These appointments would go down well with the left wing of Israeli politics:
Labor MK Haim Ramon, the dovish new chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs
and Security Committee; founders of the social democratic party project, such
as 1993 Oslo Peace Accords partisan Yossi Beilin and opposition leader Yossi
Sarid of Meretz; the Labor leader and defense minister, Binyamin Ben Eliezer,
who favors Dahlan for the prime minister’s post, while his fellow Laborite,
foreign minister Shimon Peres, who signed the Oslo Accords, would like to see
Ahmed Qurei (Abu Ala), Palestinian legislative council speaker, in the job.
The two men are old-timers of the Israel-Palestinian negotiating league. Peres
is not bothered by the notion of a not-very strong ailing and elderly man
filling the strongest post in the future Palestinian government.
It so happens that none of these preferences have much relevance to the White
House’s Palestinian scheme. The administration Washington is drafting has no
prime minister’s slot and, in any case, the Americans will not tolerate any
incumbent of Yasser Arafat’s regime staying on (as we explain in the previous
article on this page.).
In a sign that the American plan is beginning to bite, the two Israeli
ministers, Peres and Danny Naveh, sent to revive the dialogue with Palestinian
officials over the weekend, made sure they talked to men not appointed by
Arafat. They met the Washington-approved interior minister General Abdel
Razzek Yahya and finance minister Salem Fayed. The first is accepted in Amman
as well as Washington, while Yahya worked for the World Bank and lives in the
US capital.
Arafat shuns them both, leaving them out of his decision-making forums.
So why did the Israeli prime minister send Weissglass to Washington, knowing
his approach was at variance with that of the Bush team? First, he decided to
let his chef de bureau find out for himself how the land lies in the US
capital. Second, he needs to to keep the diplomatic mill grinding for the
benefit of Peres, Ben Eliezer, Haim Ramon, the left-wing opposition – and
their constituencies at home and overseas – during this interim period in
Middle East affairs. Keeping them busy will keep them off his back.
The heavyweight of the delegation to Washington is Maj.-Gen. Kaplinsky.
He is the choice of Sharon, the new chief of staff Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon and
his predecessor, Lt. Gen. Shaul Mofaz, for the post promising to be the most
sensitive, demanding and responsible in the coming year after that of chief of
staff: OC Central Command, covering the West Bank and Israel’s heartland.
Over the weekend, Yaalon confirmed DEBKAfile’s timeline for the US attack on
Iraq: Fall 2002, shortly before or after the first September 11 anniversary, a
date which President George W. Bush, is said to wish for. This leaves six to
eight weeks until the onset of a war in which Israeli is bound to be involved.
Since the Iraqi-Jordanian frontier regions are the likely arenas for some of
the heaviest combat, Kaplinksy in his new job will be in the thick of the
action on Israel’s eastern front as well as in the Palestinian arena.
Given the Saddam Hussein’s popularity among Palestinians, their towns will
have to be placed under siege during the fighting, above all to keep the
routes running east from the Mediterranean to the Jordanian frontier and
beyond to Iraq clear for large-scale military movements.
At the same, despite warfare on the Iraqi front, Kaplinsky will be charged
with keeping the American Palestinian scheme developing on track and safe from
sabotage - especially on the part of Arafat, who is a staunch ally of the
Iraqi ruler. Kaplinsky’s appointment, by virtue of its timing, is therefore of
vital concern to the US as well as Israel. That is why his liaison task in
Washington is so important for tying up the ends of collaboration with
American planners both for the coming war and the Palestinian exercise.
While Weissglass talks to the Americans about the past; Kaplinsky will discuss
the near future. This two-headed delegation signals that Sharon is not without
reservations on America’s master plan for the Palestinians. Some of his aides
indicated to DEBKAfile that he sees the potential danger it holds for Israel
in the long term. The fact that Washington is going it alone without Israel or
the Arabs does not leave his government much leeway for maneuver. Somewhere
down the road, Israel could end up at odds with both the United States and the
Palestinians. It is conceivable that a year or two after the war with Iraq,
the United States will slap down before an Israeli government the accomplished
fact of a post-Arafat, terror-free Palestinian government, with the Saddam and
Hizballah threats gone, and demand a qui pro quo from Israel. It will be made
clear that, for the new Palestinian ad

Terrorism:

[Gość: .]

An Introduction
www.terrorismanswers.com/terrorism/introduction2.html
Was September 11 the deadliest terrorist attack in history?
Yes. Before September 11, the deadliest attacks were the bombings of
airplanes, such as Pan Am flight 103, destroyed over Lockerbie, Scotland, in
1988 by terrorists linked to Libya, or the 1985 bombing of an Air India jet.
Each of these attacks killed more than 300 people. The August 1998 bombings of
the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania—before September 11, the largest
attacks on major buildings—killed 224 people; these attacks have been linked
to al-Qaeda.

By way of comparison, Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people by bombing a federal
office building in Oklahoma City in 1995. The failed February 1993 attempt by
Islamist terrorists to destroy the World Trade Center killed six people and
injured about 1,000 others. And the 1983 Islamist suicide bombing of the U.S.
Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killed 242 Americans.

Was September 11 part of an increasingly deadly trend in the evolution of
terrorism?
Yes. During the 1990s, there were fewer terrorist attacks, but they tended to
kill more people. Experts attribute this trend—fewer attacks, more fatalities—
to a rise in religiously motivated terrorism, which lacks some of the
restraints of earlier versions of terrorism. They add that heightened
vigilance and security has often made the hijackings and kidnappings
popularized in the 1960s and 1970s more difficult, driving some groups toward
simpler but sometimes deadlier bombing operations.

Did anything hold back terrorists from mass killing in the past?
Yes. Some terrorist groups before the 1990s often were limited by fears that
too much violence could backfire. In other words, experts say, terrorist
groups wanted to find the proverbial sweet spot: they sought to use enough
shocking violence to bring attention to a cause they felt had been neglected,
but they did not want to use so much violence that their audiences abroad
would become permanently alienated. Nor did nationalist terrorist groups—such
as the Palestine Liberation Organization or the Irish Republican Army (IRA)—
want to go so far that they dried up support among their own people.

These considerations often affected choices of targets as well as the level of
violence. Between 1969 and 1993, for instance, less than a fifth of the IRA’s
victims were Protestant civilians, reflecting a deliberate choice to avoid
alienating potential Irish supporters. As the terrorism expert Brian Jenkins
has put it, terrorists used to want a lot of people watching, not a lot of
people dead.

Have terrorists ever used weapons of mass destruction?
Yes. In 1995, members of Aum Shinrikyo, a Japanese cult, released sarin nerve
gas into the Tokyo subway, killing 12 and wounding over 3,500—the first
recorded use of chemical weapons by terrorists. The first deadly use of
biological weapons by terrorists was the late-2001 U.S. mailings of anthrax-
laced letters by persons still unknown.

Are religiously motivated terrorists like al-Qaeda less restrained than other
terrorists?
Yes, generally speaking. Not only are these terrorists’ goals after vaguer
than those of nationalist terrorists—who want, for example, an independent
state, a much more concrete goal than Osama bin Laden’s sweeping talk of jihad—
but their methods are more lethal. That’s because, experts say, the religious
terrorist often sees violence as an end in itself, as a divinely inspired way
of serving a higher cause. As RAND’s Hoffman notes, even such earlier
archterrorists as Carlos the Jackal and Abu Nidal never “contemplated, much
less attempted, the complete destruction of a high-rise office building packed
with people.” But for al-Qaeda, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, the Japanese
cult Aum Shinrikyo, the Palestinian group Hamas, and other religious terrorist
organizations, mass killings are considered not only acceptable but “holy.”
