New Online Magazine Urges Jihad in Iraq
hasn't there been Jihad for about 2 years now? :ceazy:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050304/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_al_qaida_magazine&cid=540&ncid=1480


The colorful, well-designed magazine is named Zurwat al-Sanam, Arabic for "The Tip of the Camel's Hump" — a reference among Islamic militants to "the epitome of belief and virtuous activity."


The inaugural 43-page issue was posted two days after al-Qaida in Iraq, the group led by Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility for an attack Monday against police and army recruits that killed 125 people in Hillah, just south of Baghdad.


The group has also said it was behind car bombings and attacks that killed 14 police officers Wednesday. Al-Zarqawi's organization has been blamed for many of the bombings, kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq.


Washington-based counterterrorism expert Evan Kohlmann told The Associated Press the magazine aims at "conveying the sense that the organization is professional, capable and really understands what they're doing."


It was designed as "an attempt to refute the idea that al-Zarqawi and these people are desperate. ... It shows that these people have time on their hands and don't have to worry about mobility."

1. How come bush & his rethugs think the more people are killed in Iraq,
the more "desperate" the killers are???

So we add "success = desperate" to our bushwelian world lexicon.

2. Am I the only one....
who thinks it's a little odd that none of the news articles about this actually provide a link to the Zurwat al-Sanam online magazine??? I wanted to take a look at it to see it myself!

3. Careful, if you do that, the jack-booted gummint thugs
will be beating down your door, throwing you in prison for supporting terrorism, etc.
