Al Qaeda in Yemen urges Muslims to kill U.S. diplomats

Post by ClarkLZeuss »

"Whoever comes across America's ambassadors or emissaries should follow the example of Omar al-Mukhtar's descendants (Libyans), who killed the American ambassador," the group said, referring to Tuesday's attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi. Praising the attacks by angry demonstrators in Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Sudan on U.S. and other Western missions as "natural responses to a huge insult", the statement said that American embassies should be burned and diplomats killed.
And also...
The group also said that Muslims living in the West have an extra duty to be involved in attacks on key targets.
"They are more capable of doing harm and reaching the enemy is easier for them," it said.

I have long suspected that sleeper cells or your average radical living here in the U.S. have simply been waiting for the proper "trigger event" to sow mass chaos. Perhaps this will be it. Stay safe out there!

You are exactly right. Not politically correct what I'm about to say, but the vast majority following the teaching of Islam will be "extremists". There will be a "trigger event" that triggers *the* worldwide Jihad. When that happens, what do you think all the "mainstream" or "peaceful" Islamists are going to do when faced with the dilemma to either join the Jihad and true Islam or be killed?...to join the Jihad and kill anyone who will not convert or be killed themselves? No different than Hitler and Nazi Germany, only with a different tactic...and their plan is not hidden. There are many interviews with Muslims who have converted to Christianity or some other faith and have given jaw dropping insights into the thoughts and attitudes of American Muslims...and how they put on public faces outside, but are just as extreme when in the privacy of their own homes with family and friends.

Although, I don't think this will be that trigger event ;-) I suspect it will be something that is much more easy to "rally the troops" over than a silly movie...something more like this: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/09/16 ... latestnews

Several years ago I sat at the dinner table as my sister introduced her Muslim boyfriend to my overtly Christian mother. The conversation inevitably turned to religion, and the thought process of this man left a lasting impression on me. After stating that Islam was a religion of peace, he conceded that Jesus was A prophet so the other people of the book (Jews/Christians) should meld into Islam. My mother countered that He was THE Christ. My sister's boyfriend's response was more or less, "I can kill you for that, because it is regressive thinking." :shock:

I told him he could try.

He didn't last long before he ditched my sister to marry a 16-year-old.

...and I apologize in advance if this is over the line on Forum religious discussion rules. :tiphat:

Good on you for letting him know he was out of his league.

I am surprised he was not shown the door. Yall are more gracious than we are. He would have had a choice through the door or out the window. You do not threaten my mother and stay in the house. Was your sister there? Cause if I was dating someone and they threatened my mother that would be the very last time I saw them. Again through the door or out the window. He can take a cab home.

What type of people think that murder is the way to end a debate on a theological topic? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Islam is, after all, a religion of peace. Just ask them. They will tell you. I am pretty sure you can find it on the internet so it has to be true.

very well said
that is exactly what many, imo. i beleive have been saying. its simple with the muslims, "do as I say or die" so choosing is a non-voluntary action imo. peer pressure if you will of the extreme kind.
i feel its going to be worse before it gets better.
with the middle east, Europe and north africa is kaos, how long will lit be before it hits the mainland here? :rules:
then we have to ask "what shall we do in response" "WE" is you me, our local government and DC?

I think I understand why the Democrats like Muslims or have so much respect for Islam now. Their mentality is very similar. Neither one can seem to let others live in peace and believe whatever they want to believe or make their own choices.

Democrats - it's our way or else.
Radical Muslims - it's our way or we'll kill you.

Similar thought process to the OP posted here: http://sofrep.com/11430/it-has-begun-a- ... -strategy/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thought provoking if nothing else.

I would have made a quick 911 call for a death threat. Either the police take care of it or I will.

His mention of "Mumbai-style attacks" is exactly what I think might hit us. Much cheaper and easier for AQ to arrange that than some other "spectacular" attack.

Radical Muslims - it's our way or we'll kill you. You know whats in it, but you cant see
