Some "experts on negotiation", that Spanish Reuters edition qualifies as "cautious", are asking why we don't negotiate with Al-Qaeda (in Spanish), because "history shows that the extremist movements are better neutralised using negotiation and not force ". Specially dedicated for them this video: See how Hitler answered to negotiations?? This is what Annakin Skywalker, in Chapter II: The Attack of the Clones, before being Darth Vader, calls "aggresive negotiations", so aggresive that in fact was WWII. The article also states: In the end they have to recognise that there are serious difficulties in negotiating with Al-Qaeda because of their goals (creating an Islamic Global Caliphate and convert everyone -including USA- to Islam) which of course is not very realistic and would imply that all the world's Governments had to agree on the plan. There is no place for another moonbat in this world… Just this day AlQaeda has menaced Iraqi Sunnis…: An al-Qaeda front group warns it will hunt down and kill Sunni Arab tribal leaders who cooperate with the U.S. and its Iraqi partners in the wake of the assassination of the leader of the revolt against the terror movement . In a separate statement, the Islamic State of Iraq announced a new offensive during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting that began this week. The statement said the offensive was in honor of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the founder of al-Qaeda in Iraq who was killed by a U.S. airstrike in June 2006. But hey, just put a little flower power in your life … New cartoon of Mohammed the Dog : VH writes Mo's Days of Summer. Al Qaeda has offered a bounty of $100.000 to kill artist (in their words, to "slaughter him like a lamb "). Let's dialogue…. "War cannot be avoided; it can only be postponed to the other's advantage". Niccolo Machiavelli (I'm not a fan of him, but he was really a bright guy). _____________________________ But there are other idiotic moonbats around. Take for example EU Dhimmi Vice-President Commissioner Franco Frattini, the one who, in the midst of the Mohammed's cartoons' furore, stated in an interview to Britain's Daily Telegraph , that EU will be writing down a code of conduct which " would encourage the media to show "prudence" when covering religion". And he added: "The press will give the Muslim world the message: We are aware of the consequences of exercising the right of free expression," he told the newspaper. "We can and we are ready to self-regulate that right." Afterwards, he repented: Mr Frattini thinks I misconstrued what he said. He has issued a stern press release, putting his side of the story…. Eeh, no, he just blamed the journalist. Well, now he doesn't want you to use Internet to search for "dangerous words, like bomb, kill, genocide or terrorist"… h/t Ignacio and la Frase Progre. Internet searches for bomb-making instructions should be blocked across the European Union, the bloc's top security official said on Monday. Internet providers should also prevent access to any site giving instructions on how to make a bomb, EU Justice and Security Commissioner Franco Frattini said in an interview. "I do intend to carry out a clear exploring exercise with the private sector … on how it is possible to use technology to prevent people from using or searching dangerous words like bomb, kill, genocide or terrorism ," Frattini told Reuters. The EU executive is to make this proposal to member states early in November as part of a raft of anti-terrorism proposals. So, if I search for "Armenian genocide" that means I want to make one myself. And if I search for "Islamic/Islamist terrorist" is that I am also one of them…. And searching for " Sex bomb" (remember the Tom Jones hit?) will also be forbidden. But it continues: The Internet has taken on huge importance for militant groups, enabling them to share know-how and spread propaganda to a mass audience, as well as to link cell members . Oh, yeah, and also it has a huge importance for anti-EU groups. Or more accurately to anti-this EU group, hasn't it? So today we block terrorist and bomb and tomorrow we block information that we don't want the people to know. ________________________________ In France Rights groups slam plans for immigrant DNA tests h/t Hodja: French rights groups and left-wing politicians Thursday slammed an amendment to a new immigration bill that would introduce DNA testing for would-be immigrants seeking to join their relatives in France. The National Assembly's legislative committee Wednesday approved an amendment that would offer long-term visa applicants the option of a DNA test to prove their family ties. The amendment's author Thierry Mariani, a deputy from President Nicolas Sarkozy's UMP party, says it aims to root out bogus visa requests, arguing that in parts of Africa up to 80 percent of identity papers submitted by applicants were fake . He says the tests would be a voluntary way to speed up visa procedures for immigrants' relatives. But Socialist deputy George Pau-Langevin, the only black MP from mainland France, called the plans "unacceptable." "This is a significant and unacceptable step in the violation of the right to a private family life , out of all proportion with the goal of fighting paperwork fraud," she said. "Would we consider doing the same for French people?" And what is more: the test is OPTIONAL. If you want, you do it and the process ends quicker. If you don't, well, everthing is slower… Just your own decission, mate. ______________________________ Remember the South Koreans who were kept as hostages by the Talibans? Afghan and US-led troops on Friday raided the hideout of a Taliban commander linked to the July abduction of 23 South Koreans, killing six militants , police said. Taliban commander Abdullah Jan however escaped the raid in the southern province of Ghazni, provincial police chief Alishah Ahmadzai told AFP. The US-led coalition confirmed there had been an operation in the province but said only that "several suspected militants" had been killed and one arrested. "Abdullah Jan fled the raid but six of his associates were killed and an unknown number were detained by the coalition forces," Ahmadzai told AFP. The bodies of three of the dead were left at the site, he said. The coalition said one person was detained in the operation in the Qarabagh district, the area where the South Korean aid workers were abducted on July 19. Troops kill six Taliban linked to alleged SKorean abductor - Yahoo! News ________________________ Some days ago I wrote that Al Qaeda had recruited teenagers for the suicide attacks and that they were educated to be like "little A-Zarqawis". Well, over 50 have been recruited and trained by now: The al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb between December and April recruited over 50 children aged under 16, the pan-Arab al-Hayat newspaper reported on Friday, quoting Algerian intelligence sources. Speaking of children abuse…. ___________________________ And seeing that the suicide attacks are feared, what do you think Pakistani lawyers plan to do if colleagues are tortured? Exactly… Peshawar High Court Bar Association President Abdul Latif Afridi on Thursday warned intelligence agencies and the army to avoid torturing lawyers or "face suicide attacks by lawyers at forces' headquarters ". ___________________________ A Chinese journalist jailed while working for the New York Times has been released. Zhao Yan had been sentenced to three years in prison for fraud in August 2006. He was detained in 2004 on charges that included leaking state secrets. International human rights groups had severely criticised his imprisonment, saying the Communist Party was using secrecy laws to stifle news. For a retrospective on Zhao Yan, see HRW: July 2004 […] October 5, 2005 But at the same time detains other two AFP reporters h/t Status of Chinese People: The arrest of two Agence France-Presse reporters on 12 September is the latest in a string of cases of foreign journalists being obstructed in their work. They show that the less stringent regulations introduced in January are being applied erratically and only when less sensitive issues are involved. At least 32 foreign journalists have been detained or prevented by police from doing reports since January. "The way the authorities have treated journalists from Agence France-Presse, the BBC World Service and other international news organisations in recent weeks do not bode well for the ability of the foreign media to work during the Olympic Games," the press freedom organisation said. "These are not unfortunate blunders," Reporters Without Borders continued. "They are the result of a clear lack of goodwill on the part of the police, who refuse to let reporters travel and investigate freely. We call on the International Olympic Committee to intervene with the Chinese authorities to ensure that the rules introduced in January are finally respected ." Just keep waiting… ________________________ Sri Lankan soldiers killed 15 Tamil Tiger rebels in a clashes in the north and east of the island while six military personnel were also killed, the military said on Saturday. The latest spike in violence in the country's long-running civil war follows the launch of a new offensive by government forces to drive guerrillas of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) from the northwesterly Mannar area. Just in case, Tamil Tigers are the "inventors" of suicide bombings. It's said that Bin Laden copied them. In 1987 the LTTE established the notorious Black Tigers, an elite unit of the LTTE responsible for conducting suicide attacks against political, economic and military targets, [9] and launched its first suicide attack against a Sri Lanka Army camp, killing 40 soldiers, still its not conformed. Of course, they are only "militants"… _______________________ Other news:

And let's dialogue!!
Stop this world; I'm getting out of it (Groucho Marx).
Do they really think that someone who is in a terrorist cell doesn't have any other preparation so he/she has to search in Internet how to do a bomb?
He is so damned politically correct that he does not use "terrorist" but "militant"…
Right to a private family life??? This is just a measure whose aim is to prevent that people who do not belong to the same family, come to Europe claiming the right of reagroupment.
Police were alarmed that a 15-year-old suicide bomber carried out a deadly attack earlier this month in the Algerian port city of Dellys. The boy managed to pass unnoticed through security checks.
Radical imams have recruited to al-Qaeda around 15 under-16s from poor districts of the capital, Algiers, to join its fighters hiding in the mountains of Algeria, police said.
Police said the US-led war in Iraq was being used as pretext to radicalise youngsters in Algeria and persuade them to join militants. They said many had been given training in carrying out suicide attacks either in Iraq or in Algeria.
The al-Kalitius neighbourhood of the village ofBourama on the outskirts of southern Algiers is a particular 'hotspot' for Jihadi recruiters, according to police.
After being taken into the mountains, the youngsters have come into contact with Tunisian and Libyan militants and have been trained alongside them to carry out car and truck bomb attacks, police said . What outrage in the MSM and in NGO's there is after knowing this?
At an emergency meeting, the PHCBA passed a resolution denouncing a report that intelligence agencies arrested Advocate Ghulam Nabi on Thursday night and tortured him at a detention cell. Afridi said that if the army and spy agencies did not change their attitude towards lawyers and citizens, the people would "ban the entry of military and agencies personnel to bazaars and main roads". He said the lawyers would charge secret agencies under sections 6 and 7 of the Anti Terrorism Act as "they tried to terrify the entire lawyers' community by torturing a lawyer". The lawyers later staged a protest outside the corps commander house in Peshawar. I do not like torture, but I also don't like suicide bombings…
Zhao Yan writes a four-line note for the New York Times sketching out a reported conflict between President Hu Jintao and ex-President Jiang Zemin over senior military appointments.
September 7, 2004
The New York Times publishes an article predicting that former President Jiang Zemin will step down from his position of head of the military. A reference to political jockeying between Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao is included as background material in one of the final paragraphs of the article.
The Washington Post reveals that Zhao's case relies almost entirely on a copy of an internal New York Times memo obtained by the State Security Ministry, according to a confidential ministry document urging prosecutors to indict the researcher. It is unclear how the agents gained access to the memo, of which a copy is included in an inventory of evidence collected in the case. [ Who gave that copy then? ]

More and more keep dying in Eritrea. The deaths are going up. Eritrea is located south of Saudi Arabia, in North Africa. The people who are imprisioned there, are placed in train like karts, in the desert. The believers imprisioned there are dying of the heat, and starvation. More than 10% of the believers in the country are in jail . On 9-11 another Saint got her crown of Matyrdom, and the headline doesn't show anywhere. Another imprisoned Christian in Eritrea has been martyred. Voice of the Martyrs' Canada's Bernie Daniels says, " Nigsti Haile, aged 33, was tortured to death by Eritrean authorities in the Wi'a Military Training center in Massawa."
She died September 5 after refusing to sign a letter recanting her faith, according to a report from Open Doors USA. Haile, an active member of the Rhema church, was one of ten Christian women who were arrested at a church gathering in Keren eighteen months ago and who have been under severe pressure to deny Christ.

RIP.

Al Qaeda group claims killing Iraqi Sunni leader and, instead of asking for justice to be done upone the killers, mourners vow revenge at sheik's funeral.
Some 1,500 mourners called for revenge Friday as they buried the leader of the Sunni revolt against al-Qaida, who was assassinated by a bomb after meeting with President Bush earlier this month.
[…] "We will take our revenge," the mourners chanted. "We will continue the march of Abu Risha."
The sheik was buried one year to the day after he organized Sunni Arab clans into an alliance to drive al-Qaida in Iraq from sanctuaries in Anbar province where the terror movement had flourished since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, the second-highest ranking U.S. officer in Iraq, and several high-ranking government officials attended the funeral, including Iraq's interior and defense ministers and National Security Adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie.
"We condemn the killing of Abu Risha, but this will not deter us from helping the people of Anbar — we will support them more than before," al-Rubaie declared. "It is a national disaster and a great loss for the Iraqi people — Abu Risha was the only person to confront al-Qaida in Anbar."
So, instead of confronting Al-Qaeda for a change and to really continue his march, they are going to take revenge.

Oops, you know, Saudi Arabia is not very happy with Syria about the new US-hosted Israel-Palestine talks :
Saudi Arabia is showing increasing signs of displeasure as Palestinian-Israeli preparatory discussions on a US-hosted multinational peace conference in November meander on without apparent achievements .
According to Agence France Presse (AFP) Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Al-Faisal warned Wednesday, "If this conference does not tackle the key issues such as Jerusalem, the borders, the Palestinians and other issues that were clearly stated in the Arab peace initiative, then the conference will be pointless ."
With time running out for the establishment of a firm basis for the conference, a deepening crisis in relations between Syria and the Saudis is throwing a pall over the upcoming discussions and Lebanese presidential vote.
Frosty relations
Fraught Syrian-Saudi relations plumbed new lows this week with the announcement Tuesday that a scheduled visit by Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Mouallem to Riyadh had been called off.
Al-Mouallem was scheduled to meet Saudi King Abdullah II and other Saudi officials during a visit designed to ease tensions between the two regional powers in the wake of a public falling out last month.
Ties between Syria and the Saudis have been troubled for some time, with the kingdom feeling that its role in seeking to reconcile Lebanese and Palestinian factions has been undermined by Damascus . [Could it be because Syria is not interested in having peace between its neighbours?? What is gaining Syria with this confrontation?].
Nadim Shehadi from the UK-based think tank Chatham House told ISN Security Watch , "There has been a break in Saudi-Syrian relations for two years, which were sort of restored during the Arab [League] summit in March when President Assad was invited to Riyadh ."
But what do you know? There is also Iran-Iraq question between them:
Both Syria and Saudi Arabia are deeply involved in Iraq, where the correspondence or dissonance between their interests are far from clear, despite Syria's close relationship with Iran .
Asked if there are differences between the Saudis and Syrians over Iraq, a source close to the situation told ISN Security Watch on the condition of anonymity, "Probably, but it is harder to say because neither of them has very transparent policies […] To the extent that Syria has a relationship with Iran it creates a problem for Saudi Arabia, but it doesn't seem that in Iraq Syria has been backing the same parties as Iran ."
[…] Saudi Arabia saw the July-August 2006 Lebanon war and subsequent Lebanese political meltdown as opportunities to expand its sphere of political and economic influence in Lebanon, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into government reconstruction funds controlled by the rump anti-Syrian Fouad Siniora administration.
A leaked October 2005 draft report of the UN probe into the murder of al-Hariri fingered prominent Syrian officials with close ties to the Syrian president as involved in the murder plot .
According to the anonymous source, "Saudi Arabia was extremely close to the former Lebanese prime minister who was assassinated. They suspect a Syrian hand, if not more, in his assassination […] And I think that was a turning point in their relations with the Syrians."
The fight for Islamic rule is back…

After the two attacks which took place last week, another bomb attack in Algeria:
A bomb has exploded in front of a police compound in Algeria, killing three people and wounding five others, officials say.
The attack happened in the town of Zemmouri, about 50km (31 miles) east of the capital, Algiers.
It is the latest in a series of bombs attacks in Algeria that have killed more than 50 people in the past week.
The militant group calling itself Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb said it was responsible for the earlier blasts.
In the latest attack, the bomb was placed in a plastic bag at the entrance to the compound where police officers and their families live, Algeria's security forces say.
They said two people had to have their legs amputated after the incident. [INCIDENT!!! You're a bunch of stupid morons. Three people get killed and five others wounded, including the two which have had their two legs amputated and you call that an INCIDENT???
]
So far no group has claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Speaking against Al-Qaeda from Saudi Arabia:
Ahmad al Shayea today.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Ahmad al Shayea is the rarest of truck bombers — he survived his suicide mission in Iraq even though the blast from his bomb was strong enough to kill 12 bystanders.
Ahmad al Shayea survived his truck bomb attack, but not without scarring to his face and hands.
Al Shayea, who was disfigured during the attack, claims al Qaeda tricked him into becoming a bomber by asking him to deliver a tanker truck, which they had rigged with a bomb .
"They told me to take it to an address in Baghdad. As soon as I got there the truck exploded," said the native of Saudi Arabia. He survived by jumping out of the truck.
Al Shayea renounced terrorism and returned to Saudi Arabia, where he works to convince would-be insurgents and terrorists to give up their deadly ways . [At least that is something…].
"I think God took me out of death to show others what can happen," he told CNN. "If you join al Qaeda, they will use you, and maybe you will die."
Hear why al Shayea turned his back on al Qaeda »
Al Qaeda propaganda videos glorify so-called foreign fighters in Iraq like al Shayea. It has recruited them from countries all across the Middle East.

Alexander Pichushkin has confessed to killing at least 62 people, with the goal of marking all 64 squares on the chessboard . He has been charged with 49 murders, most committed over the course of five years in a sprawling park on the edge of Moscow. Pichushkin's first victim was his school friend, whom he strangled and threw into a sewage pit in 1992 because he was "upset" by the friend's refusal to kill people together with him, said Moscow Chief Prosecutor Yuri Syomin.
Even if the Muslims are challenging the Orthodox Church, Patriarc Alexei is worried about Russia being proselytised by Catholic Church .
Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexei II has repeated his insistence that a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI ( bio - news) should only take place after adequate preparation– and after the Vatican has complied with demands from the Moscow patriarchate to curb Catholic "proselytism" in the historically Orthodox countries of eastern Europe.
[…] Catholic officials have repeatedly denied such a goal. […] Catholic Church leaders explain that missionary workers aim not to convert Orthodox believers, but to attract the vast majority of Russian people who are not currently active in any church. But the Moscow patriarchate takes the stand that the Russian people are Orthodox, even if they do not attend any church servives.
So, instead of confronting the real danger, he is just quarrelling with other Christian denomination. Just work, Patriarc! If you believe your religion is the best, promote it, instead of groaning every year several times about it…
This is dedicated specially to blablablabla Chávez, than man…
Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino of Caracas has urged the Venezuelan government to show respect for critics of constitutional changes proposed by President Hugo Chavez.
Cardinal Urosa insisted that "no persons of groups should be disregarded or execrated simply because they disagree with the proposal." He said that the proposed constitutional amendments deserve serious discussion, and encouraged a respectful hearing for all reasoned points of view.
In an implicit criticism of Chavez, who has charged that the country's Catholic hierarchy is stirring up opposition to his government, the cardinal said that dissident political views should be heard without rousing "the ghosts of insurrection and destabilization."
Eat that Chávez, you, moonbat!
Remember the F1 scandal?
McLaren received a systematic flow of information from a spy within rivals Ferrari for nearly three months this year, the FIA has revealed.
Drivers Fernando Alonso and Pedro de la Rosa were aware of the information .

Europe's first Islamic political party has formed in Finland. The Finnish Islamic Party plans to collect 5,000 signatures in order to qualify for official registration by the end of the year. Counting on support from the 55,000 Muslims living in Finland, the party anticipates some success in next year's municipal elections as well as in the 2011 parliamentary elections. Party spokesman Abdullah Tammi acknowledged to reporters that to date the party has enrolled only a few dozen members. The Finnish Islamic Party platform supports: Catholic World News : Islamic party forms in Finland Oh, yeah, a real interesting electoral program. You know, what I am anxious to know is what percentage of Finnish population is going to vote for this party. Without considering even that Finland has never been under Islamic rule before.

It is here at Deoband that the second largest Sunni seminary in the world exists, called the Darul Uloom (House of Knowledge). It was officially founded on May 30, 1866, by two clerics, shortly after the British had destroyed the last vestiges of the Moghul empire in 1857. Mohammad Qasim Nanautavi was the original leader of the seminary, assisted by Rasheed Ahmed Gangohi.
