GLOBAL JIHAD
Saudi funds and Saudi-trained personnel

May 5, 2004 - Melanie Phillips on Global Jihad (1): When is the west going to wake up to the fact that, far from being our ally, Saudi Arabia is at the intellectual epicentre of the global jihad? According to this article by Paul Marshall, the terrible violence and repression in Nigeria are being fomented by Saudi along with other Islamic chums. Cont'd...

May 5, 2004 - Melanie Phillips on Global Jihad (2): The jihad against Christians in Nigeria goes on...Meanwhile, 20 more Nigerians have been killed in ongoing clashes between Muslims and Christians...While in the Sudan, mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing have reached horrific proportions: Where are the apoplectic denunciations in the Guardian or Independent of these outrages? Where are the BBC documentaries? Where is the moral outrage of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the bishops and establishment of the Church of England, who remain all but silent on the persecution of their own flock in Nigeria and Sudan and elsewhere across the world? But of course, when persecuted people are Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Hindus or Muslims at the hands of other Muslims, they simply don't register at all on so-called liberal Britain's conscience radar screen.

May 5, 2004 - Paul Marshall on Sharia and Nigeria: It is a pretty good rule of thumb that where you find Muslim extremism, Islamist terrorism, and women being sentenced to death by stoning, there you will find Saudi funds and Saudi-trained personnel. One exception to this rule has been Nigeria, but now evidence of Wahabbi mischief is surfacing there as well. Cont'd...

TANTOR IN WASHINGTON DC
Puts the war against terror in a nutshell

Note Tantor's latest post:

Click on the link above to see what kind of poisonous snakes the Lefties carry in their heads. In this cartoon, the venomously anti-American Ted Rall says that Pat Tillman joined the US military because he 'falsely believed Bush's wars against Iraq and Afghanistan had something to do with 9/11. Actually he was a cog in a low-rent occupation army that shot more innocent civilians than terrorists to prop up puppet rulers and exploit gas and oil resources.'

So take a breath and let that settle in.

It's hard to believe that there is anyone left on the planet that doesn't understand that Al Qaeda was camped out in Afghanistan. Bin Laden bought the Taliban with Saudi oil bucks and consequently controlled Afghanistan. The Sep 11 suicide skyjackers trained there. That means Afghanistan really did have something to do with 9/11.

Iraq provided false identities to Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the organizers of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Mohammed went on to organize the Sep 11 attack. That means Iraq had something to do with 9/11.

We occupy Afghanistan to block it from becoming a base for future terror attacks. The charge that we killed more civilians than terrorists is pure fiction. There are no oil and gas resources in Afghanistan to exploit.

However, the facts be damned. The Left has its own rigid mythology, a faith based on anti-American propaganda, which Ted Rall feeds. The Left can simply lie faster than the Right can tell the truth.
