Al-Zarqawi's Latest
"We will carry on our jihad against the Western infidel and the Arab apostate until Islamic rule is back on earth."
That's from an audiotape believed to be made by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of the group Monotheism and Jihad and the terrorist behind the murders of Nick Berg and Kim Sun-il. Al-Zarqawi also promises to assassinate Iraq's interim prime minister.

Face it, Islam is still better than US Corporate Rule.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Enlighten us...what about the Caliphate makes it preferential to US Corporate Rule?
Don't look now, but there's a troll lurking about. Let's all pretend we didn't see him.
I'm sorry, I don't understand why this was posted. We - or at least most of us - have been well aware for a long time that that's what he, AQ, and many others are after. Is this supposed to be news? Are we supposed to forward this to the Dean Wheelers of the world?
That's PinocheT, RLA. Not like Juliette Pinoche (sic).
Ruled by the Golden Arches or the Golden Minarets? What a choice? At least Mc Donald's isn't forcing me to eat their crappy hamburgers. Life under islamic rule would make my mamma wear a veil, take away my Budweiser, and make me pay yet another tax in addition to what I already pay called the jizya (poll tax for Jews and Christians). Even though corporate rule isn't my idea of an ideal situation, I could live with it compared to Muslim fanatics taking over the world.
I think it's funny that people are arguing with the troll.
Does the fact that you righties have all been taken in by such an obvious fraud indicate that you might not have a very good understanding of leftist thinking on these issues?
Joe, I don't think the RLA troll is mocking lefitsts but rather non-interventionist libertarians (who might agree with leftists on issues like this).
He missed the western apostates, dumbass!
Until Islamic rule is back on earth? But I thought he just wanted us to stop supporting Israel, or surrender in Iraq, or implement Kyoto, or...
As Stimpy might say, "Islamic rule back on earth. Oh, rapture!"
See, I told you Bush shouldn't fight back in Afghanistan, or attack Iraq, or he'd make the terra-wrists mad. Now look at what he's gone and done.
i wasn't aware islamic rule had ever left!
seriously, what's up with the names they pick? they're like 4th tier emo bands.
until Islamic rule is back on Earth.
Hah! Such big heads on those little cavemen. We need to drop more MOABs.
But I thought he just wanted us...
That's the fallacy of the left, that there is any policy answer to the growth of Islamic terrorism. There isn't; when you have enemies, you kill them. Unfortunately we have not been very efficient in that capacity.
Can you blame him? The US Imperialists, Inc. invaded a SOVERIGN nation and installed a puppet regime (e.g. like Pinoche). These guys are just like Minutemen. Face it, Islam is still better than US Corporate Rule.
"We will carry on our jihad against the Western infidel and the Arab apostate until Islamic rule is back on earth."
All I can say is that it's going to be a very very long jihad.
Holy Zarqawi's Singing Fish!
Well, somebody had to say it.
BTW, Real Real Libertarian Anarchists don't recognize anby nation or state as "sovereign", only individuals.
Swutting troll.
Belgium!

"I think it's funny that people are arguing with the troll."
joe, don't be so hard on yourself.
Hey, I was arguing with a bot on another thread!
Heh heh. Doug said "hard on." Heh. Heh heh. Heh.
