How Jihadis really feel about us and the US

Despite much talk about the use of the Internet as a means of communication and propaganda by fundamental Islamic Jihadis, finding these sites isn’t as easy as it might seem.

So I decided to hunt for one. The best known is probably http://www.qudsway.com/ but it’s entirely in Arabic, so not all that much use to gauge the strength of anti-Western feeling.

Then I came across an Iraqi site, through http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/. The strength of feeling towards Britain and the US is palpable. The text speaks for itself (there’s also audio and video) but here’s a few excerpts:

Over two million innocents died waiting for a light at the end of a tunnel that only ended with the occupation of our country and the theft of our resources.

After the crimes of the administrations of the U.S and Britain in Iraq , we have chosen our future. The future of every resistance struggle ever in the history of man.

We have not crossed the oceans and seas to occupy Britain or the U.S. nor are we responsible for 9/11. These are only a few of the lies that these criminals present to cover their true plans for the control of the energy resources of the world, in face of a growing China and a strong unified Europe . It is Ironic that the Iraqi's are to bear the full face of this large and growing conflict on behalf of the rest of this sleeping world.

We thank all those, including those of Britain and the U.S. , who took to the streets in protest against this war and against Globalism. We also thank France , Germany and other states for their position, which least to say are considered wise and balanced, til now.

Stop using the U.S. dollar, use the Euro or a basket of currencies. Reduce or halt your consumption of British and U.S. products. Put an end to Zionism before it ends the world. Educate those in doubt of the true nature of this conflict and do not believe their media for their casualties are far higher than they admit.

And to the American soldiers we say, you can also choose to fight tyranny with us. Lay down your weapons, and seek refuge in our mosques, churches and homes. We will protect you. And we will get you out of Iraq , as we have done with a few others before you.

We, now choose when, where, and how to strike. And as our ancestors drew the first sparks of civilization, we will redefine the word “conquest.“

And to George W. Bush, we say, “You have asked us to ‘Bring it on’, and so have we. Like never expected. Have you another challenge?”

Mr Blair said recently that after 9/11 the world briefly woke up, then turned over and went back to sleep. But as regards the underlying causes of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, Mr Blair himself is in a deep, deep coma…
