| The book, filled with calls for violence and hate for all but "true Muslims" -- a group that it says does not include Shiites -- surfaced on an Islamic Web site this week. |
| Quote: |
The document calls on Iraqi troops and police to turn their backs on the new elected government.
"You who betrayed Muslims and in humiliation became one of many collaborators, a servant under the command of the cross, we ask you to return to your Islamic instinct or cutting your neck will be your only punishment for your treason against your religion and your people."
It adds this warning: "Repent or else."
The group says its "doctrine and mission are clear and they can be summarized as our agreement to believe in and fight for the religion of God. We believe that those who follow these beliefs and the provisions of faith are true Muslims and anyone who denounces any of these beliefs and conditions is an infidel even if he still claims to be a Muslim."
It calls the Shiite faith "a confession of polytheism and rejectionism.
The document warns there will be no end to the insurgency. "The call for jihad goes on until doomsday, whether there is an imam calling for it or not."
The central image of the e-book is the group's logo -- a globe with an open book, presumably the Quran. Coming out of the center of the Quran are a spear, a Kalashnikov rifle, a hand with the pointer finger sticking up -- a symbol of unity -- and a banner reading, "There is no God but God; Mohammed is the messenger of God."
CNN's Octavia Nasr contributed to this report.

| Remember in the old days, when they didn't issue manifestoes, they just blew up embassies and Ryder trucks and flew airplanes into buildings? I for one am happy to hear they are such loudmouths now... it means they can't do anything else. |

Well they've always been 'loudmouths' it's just that Western media never really paid much attention before 9/11.
As for the implication that they're all talk and no action, they've managed to carry through on their threats pretty well so far so I wouldn't view this book as a good sign.
Can't do anything else?
Uh, yeah, okay... they're all washed up in Iraq and London was a bust.
They've been continually underestimated and you seem intent on carrying on this tradition.
Unless of course your post was sarcasm; In that case it went over my head. Sorry. |

Yeah, that sounds a lot to me like a statement I saw quoted in another thread here. Something along the lines of "the fact that the insurgents are now blowing up more stuff then ever=they are in their last throes of desperation."
Yeah.
Sure. |

exactly. Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda have had websites for years now. Just because the west hasn't reported it doesn't mean they haven't ben talking. Just ask joo; he used to cut and paste their "manifesto" god knows how many times on various threads. |

squeeze me, but don't you mean "violent" manifesto?
Virulent means something else entirely if i remember. "Very hard to eradicate. resistant to most/all attempts to exterminate it" spreads quickly" etc.
Hold on, maybe that does apply to Al Quaeda afterall. |
