G.W.O.T.

If anybody living in the modern, industrialized world remains doubtful that the current GWOT(global war on terror) is not World War III, then read some of the rantings from al-Zawahri...

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader issued a worldwide call Thursday for Muslims to rise up in a holy war against Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza until Islam reigns from "Spain to Iraq."

In the message broadcast by Al-Jazeera television, Ayman al-Zawahri, second in command to Osama bin Laden, said that al-Qaida now views "all the world as a battlefield open in front of us."

"It is a jihad (holy war) for the sake of God and will last until (our) religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq," al-Zawahri said. "We will attack everywhere."
Spain was controlled by Arab Muslims for more than seven centuries until they were driven from power in 1492.

He said Arab regimes were accomplices to Israel. "My fellow Muslims, it is obvious that Arab and Islamic governments are not only impotent but also complicit ... and you are alone on the battlefield. Rely on God and fight your enemies ... make yourselves martyrs."

He also called for the "downtrodden" throughout the world, not just Muslims, to join the battle against "tyrannical Western civilization and its leader, America."
"Stand with Muslims in confronting this unprecedented oppression and tyranny. Stand with us as we stand with you against this injustice that was forbidden by God in his book (the Quran)," al-Zawahri said. "The shells and rockets ripping apart Muslim bodies in Gaza and Lebanon are not only Israeli (weapons), but are supplied by all the countries of the crusader coalition. Therefore, every participant in the crime will pay the price," al-Zawahri said.

There are thousands, perhaps, millions of crazy, rabid Jihadists around the world waiting for marching orders from Al-Qaeda. We see them on the news every night in Indonesia, Pakistan, all over Europe and Scandinavia, Canada, the former Soviet states, every country in the Middle-East, Africa, and the U.S. These people want to either convert non-Muslims or kill them...there is no third option. Crazed Islamic jihadists are single-minded in their servitude to the most radical interpretation of the Qaran. Just read the words in red above and then explain to me how we are not facing an enemy bent on the destruction of all things non-Muslim, starting with the Great Satan -- the U.S.

I believe we(the U.S.) have to remain diligent with our border security, more dedicated than ever to intelligence gathering and decisive in our willingness to act when threatened with jihad here at home and with our assets and allies abroad. Right now, Israel is demostrating her willingness to take the fight to the jihadists rather than letting the fight come home to them. We should not only let Israel continue to wage war on terrorism without pressuring them to agree to a disastrous ceasefire, we should aid them in every way possible.
