Despite a wall of obfuscation by the news media, today's news details indicate that the Beltway Snipers were indeed motivated by the desire to terrorize America on behalf of their Nation of Islam ideology:

"We are going to terrorize this nation," Malvo said Muhammad told him before the pair embarked on the October 2002 sniper spree....Muhammad's goal was to terrorize the Washington area by killing six people a day for a month, Malvo testified. A second round of attacks would involve even more killing, using explosive devices loaded with ball bearings, he said....

Malvo quoted Muhammad as saying, "The chicken's come home to roost."

This is the famous quote of Malcolm X upon hearing news of the Kennedy assasination.

He said Muhammad put him on a strict, one-meal-a-day diet of soy burgers and soup -- "in accordance with the teachings of the Nation of Islam"...."The white man is the devil."....

He said he and Muhammad had long talks about religion, history, society and his school work. "He introduced me to the Nation of Islam," Malvo testified.

"Bloodshed begets bloodshed" was how Muhammad explained the September 11, 2001, attacks, Malvo testified. He added that Muhammad told him that the United States taught Osama bin Laden to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan "and it came home."

"He hates this country," Malvo said.

Bordering on Fraud, by Thomas Sowell
"The immigration bill before Congress has some of the most serious consequences for the future of this country. Yet it is not being discussed seriously by most politicians or most of the media. Instead, it is being discussed in a series of glib talking points that insult our intelligence"

By the former Director of the CIA, James Woolsey:

-The approach Israel is preparing to take in the West Bank was tried in Gaza and has failed utterly. The Israeli withdrawal of last year has produced the worst set of results imaginable: a heavy presence by al-Qaeda and Hizballah; street-fighting between Hamas and Fatah and now Hamas assassination attempts against Fatah's intelligence chief; rocket and mortar attacks against nearby towns inside Israel; and a perceived vindication for Hamas, which took credit for the withdrawal. This almost certainly contributed substantially to Hamas' victory in the Palestinian elections.

-Before his massive stroke last year Ariel Sharon repeatedly said he would not replay the Gaza retreat in the West Bank. With good reason: Creating a West Bank that looks like today's Gaza would be many times the nightmare. How would one deal with continuing launches of rockets and mortars from the West Bank into virtually all of Israel? A security barrier does no good against such bombardment.

-How does moderate Jordan, with its Palestinian majority, survive if bordered by a West Bank terrorist state? Israeli concessions will also make the U.S. look weak because it will be inferred that we have urged them.

-Three major Israeli efforts at accommodation in the last 13 years have not worked. These three accommodations have been based on the premise that only Israeli concessions can displace Palestinian despair. But it seems increasingly clear that the Palestinian cause is fueled by hatred and contempt.

-Israeli concessions indeed enhance Palestinian hope, but not of a reasonable two-state solution - rather a hope that they will actually be able to destroy Israel. When they speak of "ending Israeli occupation," they mean of Tel Aviv. Under these circumstances it is time to recognize that the Israeli-Palestinian issue will likely not be the first matter settled in the decades-long war that radical Islam has declared on the U.S., Israel, the West, and moderate Muslims.

-Someday a two-state solution may become possible, but it is naive in the extreme to believe that this can occur while the centerpiece of the radical Islamic and Palestinian agendas is maximizing Jewish deaths.

By Khaled Abu Toameh:

The question on the Palestinian street is no longer when civil war will break out, but when will it end. Armed clashes between Hamas and Fatah supporters have been taking place every day since the deployment of the new Hamas security force. Over the past two weeks, the homes and cars of at least seven security officers loyal to Abbas have been targeted by Hamas militiamen. Two Hamas militiamen have also been killed in separate attacks by Fatah.

The unprecedented violence has been accompanied by a war of words being fought in the mosques and on television and radio stations, as well as in leaflets.

Marrying a Muslim Man? Read the Fine Print

Today's news from Germany buries the fact that the gang rapists of a 13 year-old were likely Arab Muslim immigrants:

Shock in Berlin as Suspected Rapists Freed

Nowhere is the news reported that this is part of a gang rape epidemic sweeping areas with high Arab Muslim immigration.

As is the case with young Arab Muslims throughout the West, teenage girls are generally forbidden to go out, leaving separatist gangs of predatory Arab Muslim males with highly misogynist attitudes. Harassment of females has therefore exploded throughout the West, most shockingly demonstrated in the recent phenomenon of gang rape for sport. Listed below is the evidence.

While these cases are primarily not related to the core group of committed Islamists within Arab Muslim immigrant populations, there is some "trickle-down" of attitudes so it is also worth noting the rape aspects of Jihad ideology as well: The Rape Jihad.

Germany

Shock in Berlin as Suspected Rapists Freed

The youths, aged 13 to 15, allegedly attacked their victim as she walked home from school in the Charlottenburg district which is generally seen as safe area with low crime rates.

While allegedly gang-raping the girl, the youths are reported to have filmed the sexual attack with a mobile phone camera. Media reports say the four later boasted about the rape to other school children and sent copies of the video to friends.

Police who detained the four earlier this week have so far not found any film footage of the alleged rape. There is suspicion the video pictures may have been erased and mobile phones of the suspects are being analysed by experts in a bid to retrieve any pictures....

Adding to the potential explosiveness of the alleged rape is the fact that the four suspects are all the children of immigrant families, while the victim is German. The normally well-informed Bild tabloid said the suspects were two German-Turks, a German Russian and a German-Angolan.

Federal police statistics released on Monday show non-German youths under the age of 21 were twice as likely to be crime suspects last year than German nationals of the same age.

Officers in charge of the case are convinced the four youths carried out the gang rape and DNA tests are being carried out on sperm traces found on the victim.

Given the brutality of the attack, there has been anger over a decision by Berlin justice officials to order the youths be set free. The 13-year-old suspect is too young to be kept in detention under German law, but the other three could be held.

Berlin justice Senator Karin Schubert insists, however, that even youths suspected of violent crimes can only be kept locked up if there is danger they will flee justice.

France
Racial Gangrape: Another Diversity Disaster

...in more cosmopolitan centers like Paris and Australia, the game is blossoming. It consists in the ritual gang rape of white women by non-white immigrants....The ritual is known as a ?tournante,? meaning ?Take your turn,? and it consists of a black male becoming ?friendly with? (seducing) a white female, preferably a teenager. Once they?ve become chums, the male lures the girl to a location where his buddies in the gang ?take their turns? with her. In the case on trial in Paris, it was no fewer than 14 buddies. Unlike many victims of such fun, this young lady lodged a complaint with the police. As a result, she was gangraped a second time?this time, allegedly, by the 11 who went on trial in April....

The incident is not isolated. Police investigations of similar rapes were underway in three other French cities, and one French magistrate says the game has been going on since at least the 1980s. ?Their technique was to pick up a young girl?a white girl?and once she had become the girlfriend of one of the members, he would allow his mates to make use of her?

Australia

The Australian Sun-Herald reports that police data show that some 70 racially motivated rapes of young white girls, one as young as 13, by Middle Eastern immigrants have taken place in the last two years. ?Fifteen youths and men have so far been charged with more than 300 offenses relating to matters since mid-2000 alone. They are all of Middle Eastern extraction. None of those involved is presently before the courts....those in Australia don?t seem to be part of a gang initiation, but they are nonetheless clearly racially driven. ?Before being brutalized,? the Australian paper reports, ?other victims have reportedly been questioned about their Australian heritage or forced to endure taunts about their attackers? prowess.? But, like the rapes in France, those in Australia follow a similar pattern in which one non-white male becomes intimate with a white girl, whom he then delivers to his friends for sexual violation, beating and humiliation.

Sweden

Immigrant Rape Wave in Sweden

Swedish girls Jenny and Linda were on their way to a party on New Year's Eve when they were assaulted, raped and beaten half to death by four Somali immigrants. Sweden's largest newspaper has presented the perpetrators as "two men from Sweden, one from Finland and one from Somalia", a testimony as to how bad the informal censorship is in stories related to immigration in Sweden. Similar incidents are reported with shocking frequency, to the point where some observers fear that law and order is completely breaking down in the country. The number of rape charges in Sweden has tripled in just above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six - 6 - times as common today as they were a generation ago....

According to a new study from the Crime Prevention Council, Br?, it is four times more likely that a known rapist is born abroad, compared to persons born in Sweden. Resident aliens from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia dominate the group of rape suspects. According to these statistics, almost half of all perpetrators are immigrants....

A group of Swedish teenage girls has designed a belt that requires two hands to remove and which they hope will deter would-be rapists. "It's like a reverse chastity belt," one of the creators, 19-year-old Nadja Bj?rk, told AFP, meaning that the wearer is in control, instead of being controlled. Bj?rk and one of her partners now plan to start a business to mass produce the belts....

In an online readers' poll from the newspaper Aftonbladet, 82% of the women expressed fear to go outside after dark. There are reports of rapes happening in broad daylight....

"It is not as wrong raping a Swedish girl as raping an Arab girl," says Hamid. "The Swedish girl gets a lot of help afterwards, and she had probably ****** before, anyway. But the Arab girl will get problems with her family. For her, being raped is a source of shame. It is important that she retains her virginity until she marries." It was no coincidence that it was a Swedish girl that was gang raped in Rissne ? this becomes obvious from the discussion with Ali, Hamid, Abdallah and Richard. All four have disparaging views on Swedish girls, and think this attitude is common among young men with immigrant background. "It is far too easy to get a Swedish whore?? girl, I mean;" says Hamid, and laughs over his own choice of words. "Many immigrant boys have Swedish girlfriends when they are teenagers. But when they get married, they get a proper woman from their own culture who has never been with a boy. That?s what I am going to do. I don?t have too much respect for Swedish girls. I guess you can say they get ****** to pieces."

Muslim Rape Epidemic in Sweden and Norway

...doubling of the number of reported rapes by ambush in 2004, following what was already a decade of steadily increasing numbers of sexual crimes

the number of reported rapes against children is on the rise. The figures have nearly doubled in the last ten years: 467 rapes against children under the age of 15 were reported in 2004 compared with 258 in 1995. Legal proceedings continue this week in a case involving a 13 year old girl from Motala who was said to have been subjected to a group rape by four men. (Note: These four men were Kurdish Muslims, who raped the girl for hours and even took photos of doing so).

Amanda and Molin Raped by Immigrant Gang (Swedish)

Norway

Rape charges in the capital are spiraling upwards, 40 percent higher from 1999 to 2000 and up 13 percent so far this year. Police Inspector Gunnar Larsen of Oslo's Vice, Robbery and Violent crime division says the statistics are surprising - the rising number of rape cases and the link to ethnic background are both clear trends....While 65 percent of those charged with rape are classed as coming from a non-western background, this segment makes up only 14.3 percent of Oslo's population. Norwegian women were the victims in 80 percent of the cases, with 20 percent being women of foreign background.

Denmark

Alarmed at last week's police statistics, which revealed that in 68% of all rapes committed this year the perpetrator was from an ethnic minority, leading Muslim organisations have now formed an alliance to fight the ever-growing problem of young second and third-generation immigrants involved in rape cases against young Danish girls.

Egypt: Hamas Harboring Dahab Attacker in Gaza

A suspected plotter of last month's triple bomb blasts in the Sinai resort town of Dahab has infiltrated the Gaza Strip and has been extended refuge there by local terror groups, including members of Hamas, according to Egyptian officials.

Egyptian authorities issued a request for Hamas to arrest and turn over the alleged attack plotter, who they said escaped from the Al-Arish region of the Sinai.

As predicted prior to the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the area is turning into a world terror hub similar to the Taliban's Afghanistan, where attackers can prepare, implement and return from terror missions. For another example from today's news, see:

UK Citizen Arrested for Transferring Money to Hamas

The article does not specify whether the arrest was made in Gaza or the West Bank, but the former is driving the terror infrastucture of the latter. In any case, there is a fungability of terror resources, as this story from today's news indicated:

Jihadists' Return from Iraq Worries Europe

Caroline Glick has now echoed IRIS' prediction with an excellent analysis of four key ways that the impending West Bank withdrawal will undermine America's national security interests in the Middle East and its efforts to win the global war against Islamofascism:

1. Weaken U.S. logistical capacities in Iraq. The destabilization of Israel and Jordan through the establishment of a Taliban-like regime in the West Bank will endanger the overland supply route U.S. forces use to move materiel from Israeli ports through Jordan into Iraq. This will increase U.S. dependency on Persian Gulf ports and invite Iran to create crises in the Straits of Hormuz.

2. Establish a new terror refuge in the West Bank that will serve as a training ground for terrorists who will fight not only against Israel and Jordan, but also against U.S. forces in Iraq.

3. Enhance the prestige of declared enemies of the U.S. including Iran, Syria, al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Wahabist extremists in Saudi Arabia and Salafist extremists in Egypt at the expense of the United States. The widespread perception in the Arab and Islamic world of Israel as a U.S. client state will cause an Israeli retreat and its consequent destabilization of Israel and Jordan to be seen for what they are: strategic defeats for America. This will, in turn, likely translate into thousands of additional recruits for global jihad against the United States.

4. Decrease motivation to cooperate with the U.S. in the war against Islamofascism throughout the Arab and Muslim world. This perceived victory for the global jihad will undermine U.S. efforts to gain the support of regimes and individuals around the globe, particularly those in the Arab and Islamic world such as leaders like Gen. Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan. He, like democracy activists in Iraq, and advocates of Islamic moderation in Europe, will be undercut and possibly undone by the victory of the jihadist forces in the aftermath of Israel's withdrawal from the West Bank.
