From the page: "LAHORE, Pakistan �" Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a police checkpoint at the entrance to Pakistan's city of Lahore late Monday, wounding seven people, a senior police official said.

The bombers struck after dark in a congested area near bus terminals on a link road to Pakistan's intercity motorway.

"A car was stopped at the checkpost and the two suicide bombers in the car exploded themselves. We have found legs and a head," city police chief Pervez Rathor told reporters at the scene.

"One warden and two constables were critically wounded and four civilians are also injured."

Rathor said the car was packed with a huge quantity of explosives and "could have caused a catastrophe" had it entered the city.

"Bomb disposal staff are defusing remaining explosives in the car. Thank God no one died," he added.

Private Geo television showed security officers inspecting a small mangled car in front of a truck and a few other vehicles on a wide road where low concrete blast barriers were visible in front of the damaged car."

Searchlight Magazine: France - The Paris massacre of 17 October 1961 & Yahyasheikho786's Blog

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:06:33 -0700

From the page: "The Algerian war, one of the most brutal postwar anti-imperialist conflicts, began in 1954 with an uprising against French colonisation. At first, several Algerian organisations, some in open conflict with each other and all with different aims, were fighting French domination but it was the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN), created by Ben Bella in Cairo in 1954, which eventually became the main force of resistance and formed the first provisional government of the Algerian Republic in 1958.

The FLN�s objective was complete independence from France, an ambition it aimed to achieve through armed struggle against the tens of thousands of French military personnel occupying Algeria."

PureIslam - Could Yemen be the Next Surprise of the Season?

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:04:21 -0700

From the page: "The jihad movement around the world has witnessed a surprising growth during the past few years. After 9-11 America had succeeded in pulling together an international coalition in order to fight the mujahedeen. It invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, put pressure on governments around the world to throw anyone with association with Jihad behind bars and to stop the flow of money into Jihad movements. All over the world the mujahedeen have suffered an international effort under the leadership of America to bring an end to Jihad. But Eight years later the mujahedeen are wining on every front and are expanding into new ones. It appeared difficult back then to imagine that the world would be the way it is today just 8 years after 9-11."

Sebagian besar orang mengutuk dan bergembira dengan tewasnya Noordin. Sedikit yang simpati dan haru dengan kepergiannya. Jikalau pilihan Noordin M Top dalam berjihad memerangi musuh-musuh Islam, utamanya Amerika Serikat dan sekutu-sekutunya benar, maka betapa beruntungnya dia. Karena dia akam dianggap sebagai mujahid dan mati sebagai syuhada. Insya Allah!

Jihad Hukum Islam Yang Abadi

Banyak orang beranggapan jika seorang pemimpin jihad atau seorang mujahid syahid, maka jihad akan berhenti dan berarti perjuangan mereka mengalami kekalahan. Padahal dalam pandangan Islam, jika seorang mujahid syahid, maka itu adalah sebuah �kemenangan� dan sebuah kemuliaan bagi ummat Islam.

The Israeli Occupation of America: How Israel Gained Control of American Foreign Policy and Public Opinion | Republic Broadcasting Network

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:29:19 -0700

From the page: "”Israel need not apologize for the assassination or destruction of those who seek to destroy it. The first order of business for any country is the protection of its people.”Washington Jewish Week, October 9, 1997

I came from a country occupied militarily by Israel to the land of �oethe free and the brave” only to find out it too was occupied politically by Israel.

The Palestinian people, holding on to whatever shred of hope they can, are counting on the day Americans see the error of their ways and change their opinion of the whole Middle East situation and understand it for what it truly is�"A conquered, oppressed people living a hellish existence under a maniacal, occupying power and who will then contact their representatives in Congress and have them put the heat on Israel in fulfilling the agreements she made years ago with the PLO such as Oslo, Taba, Camp David, Wye River, the Road Map, or even Annapolis.

The sad fact however is that the Americans�"as much as they champion themselves as a �oefree people”�"are in no better shape than the Palestinians. On the contrary, the American position is worse than that of the Palestinians. The Palestinians can identify the enemy�"he is the one with the gun and blowing away their loved ones. They KNOW they are occupied and oppressed. They KNOW how Israel occupied Palestine, killed its inhabitants and forced the majority of those who survived the carnage out of their homes and lands to then live as strangers in refugee camps."
