Al-Qaeda Promises War in Darfur

by Drima on September 20, 2007

Oh dear.

CAIRO, Egypt - Osama bin Laden will release a new message soon declaring war on Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, al-Qaida announced Thursday.

… Speakers in the video promised more fighting in Afghanistan, North Africa and Sudan’s Darfur region.

Why isn’t this stinking butcher named Bin Laden dead yet? Someone please drop a bomb on his head. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

So, *this* is the long awaited Arab attention to Darfur? Not exactly what folks had in mind, I think.

Not a good development.

2 Andrew Brehm 09.20.07 at 2:45 pm

What did you expect?

Most Arab organisations that claim to fight oppression and defend good Muslims only become active when they think that there is not enough violence in a given region.

But what would Bush do without his boogie man to scare everyone? Six years later and notice how he isn’t in the news any more… they just pull him out of their hats at opportune times to remind people that WE ARE FIGHTING A WAR ON TERROR

Whatever the fuck that means.

“Whatever the fuck that means.”

It means capturing or killing people who explode bombs in streets, markets, cafes, trains, schools, and other places full of civilians, in order to gain power by terrifying the population. That includes ETA, and (in the past) anarchists; but most of the current terrorists are in one or other Islamic jihadist group.

So you could simplify it by saying it is mainly a war against violent Islamic jihad.

Aaron… Bin-Laden and Co. aren’t anyone’s bogeyman. They exist, with an agenda of their very own. Will ignoring them make them go away? Or the dozens of groups that follow the same core ideology across the Islamic states?

Working on it.

Let’s see.

Al Qaeda kill Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq. Then they decide to declare war on Pakistan. And now they are considering murdering more Muslims in Darfur.

It seems to me like proposing to attack non-Muslims would be a very dangerous task at an Al Qaeda meeting. Bin Laden seems to be very strict about selecting only Muslims as targets.

(I know it’s not necessity that makes him choose Muslims. He is on the side of his god, after all. And his god is all-powerful and everything. So he COULD attack whomever he wants. And he happens to attack Muslims, mostly.)

“And he happens to attack Muslims, mostly.”

For any fanatic, the most hated enemy is the one with views near to his own. The worst of all is the former ally.

Look at all the killing of Marxists by Marxists.

9 Roman Kalik 09.21.07 at 11:09 am

You have a point, Don Cox. The Stalinists hated the Trotskytes more than they hated Capitalists, for instance. If the Capitalists were just an enemy, other Socialists or Communists were a possible contradiction of their own particular path.

Bin-Laden’s most hated and feared enemy is Muslims who don’t think like him, because his “Islam” does not allow their existence. They are a contradiction to his beliefs, and so they must be, in his eyes, converted or cleansed.

10 Andrew Brehm 09.21.07 at 11:54 am

The Muslims in the countries Bin Laden chooses for his attacks are actually among the most supportive of his version of “Islam”.

I think it just turned out that if you train people to be evil so you can use them as soldiers, they are evil first, and your soldiers second.

It’s a death cult.

Interesting speach:

(Not directly related to the above, but telling.)

Another unrelated link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_kippur

Says:

“Muslim connection”
[...]
“Moses was saved from the impeding Pharaoh’s army”

Compare with:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War

“The war began with a surprise joint attack by Egypt and Syria on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.”

Drima, do Muslims generally realise the irony here described?

12 Andrew Brehm 09.21.07 at 12:07 pm

The Stalinists happily murdered whomever they could. Their victims didn’t have to be enemies or former friends. They just had to be numbers.

The reason, I think, Stalin murdered more Russians and others sympathetic to communism than capitalists was because he had no power over the capitalists. To a tyrant, the word “enemy” is defined as “whomever I can kill”.

13 DZA 09.21.07 at 1:57 pm

lol
they do drop bombs, but on poor afghanis heads..
so bin laden is coming to sudan huh?
i can picture the scenario.. bin laden’s supporters gonna bomb churches, christian southerners gonna burn mosques .. poof, great civil war
perfect divide and conquer
but who are bin laden’s supporters? united states again? that’d be rightous

14 Andrew Brehm 09.21.07 at 2:34 pm

DZA,

Can you rephrase your comment? It doesn’t seem to make sense at all.

15 Roman Kalik 09.21.07 at 2:48 pm

*shakes head* DZA, you guys in Sudan have kept yourselves divided for decades now, and all of a sudden an outside Evil Imperialist Crusader is what’s going to divide you? Sheesh.

And it’s good to see that you still believe in conspiracy theories. Really, it is. The enterntainment value alone is worth it.

16 Andrew Brehm 09.21.07 at 3:06 pm

Roman,

You actually understood him? He didn’t make a lot of sense to me, didn’t know whether he really wanted to write that the US are “again” the supporters of Bin Laden and that Christians in Sudan are known for burning down mosques…

I think it will take another while for some to accept the bitter truth: it is self-proclaimed Muslims who attack other Muslims. The rest of the world would just be watching if there wasn’t the odd attack on a Christian country and the weird obsession with destroying Israel (as if driving the Jews out of Muslims countries doesn’t satisfy the no-Jew requirement).

actually, this organisation is killing in Algeria, and projects to spread its madness in Sahel and Darfur ; a few hours ago a terrorist attack occured in Alger-east, 9 woundeds among them, 1 Italian, 2 Frenchs 6 Algerians ;

one could say they have Lybian Warrior discourse when he was still adolescent : they refer to the lost Andaloucia…and want to kill the crusaders

18 elgreco 09.22.07 at 9:25 pm
