 Face of evil: Azam Amir Kasab, the only terrorist to be captured alive,
has confessed to being a member of Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-TaibaBy Ian Gallagher The only terrorist captured alive after the Mumbai massacre has given police the first full account of the extraordinary events that led to it – revealing he was ordered to ‘kill until the last breath’. Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, said the attacks were meticulously planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people. He revealed that the ten terrorists, who were highly trained in marine assault and crept into the city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal Palace hotel after first executing British and American tourists and then taking hostages. Mercifully, the group, armed with plastic explosives, underestimated the strength of the 105-year-old building’s solid foundations. As it is, their deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise to nearly 300 once the hotel has been fully searched by security forces. Yesterday, Kasab chillingly went through details of Wednesday night’s killing spree across the city, which ended when he was cornered by police. He pretended to be dead, which probably saved his life. It was only when he was being transferred to hospital by ambulance that his accompanying officer noticed he was still breathing.

 Гай Бехор Пока в ожидании выборов израильтяне наблюдают за перелицовкой старых политических костюмов, у них под боком, в Палестинской автономии в Иудее и Самарии, незаметно, но неумолимо, приближается революция. Внешнее спокойствие обманчиво, и очень скоро в Шхеме, Рамалле и Бейт-Лехеме разразится буря. ФАТХ и ХАМАС готовятся к сражению, хотя по-настоящему мечи куют только исламисты - ФАТХ почти ничего не делает, он готовит оправдания для будущего поражения. Когда во главе организации стоит Абу-Мазен вместе с гвардией 70-летних ветеранов, трудно ожидать иного исхода. И ХАМАС, и ФАТХ понимают, что жребий брошен. Известна и дата начала схватки - январь 2009 года. Грядущие события навсегда изменят лицо палестинского мира, который переживет религиозную и национальную и ментальную революции. Переворот, который повлияет и на их отношения с Израилем, будет облегчен двумя обстоятельствами: ослаблением (с точки зрения ХАМАСа) Израиля и приходом в январе в Белый дом президента-новичка. В результате переворота вместе с Абу-Мазеном сойдет со сцены поколение ветеранов ФАТХа, такие как Ахмед Куреи (Абу-Ала) и главы сил безопасности и разведки, в большинстве 70-летние старики. Подобная революция уже произошла в секторе Газа, где к власти пришли сорокалетние. В январе это может случиться и в Иудее и Самарии.
Будущий переворот положит конец ООП и светскому национальному движению палестинцев в том виде, в каком оно сформировалось в конце 50-х годов, и руководство перейдет в руки политического ислама, как это было при иерусалимском муфтии Хадж Амин аль-Хусейни. Это будет означать смерть национальной идеи палестинцев, родившейся на волне левых "национально-освободительных движений" в мире в 50-60 гг. Сегодня ясно, что эта идея была искусственной и не была воспринята палестинцами вполне.
В Иудее и Самарии произойдет то же, что случилось в секторе Газа: полное отделение от Израиля, или, по крайней мере, стремление к такому отделению. Это будет означать полное прекращение переговоров и конец иллюзии возможности достижения соглашения между Израилем и палестинцами, иллюзии, которая родилась в Осло, воспламенила Иудею и Самарию и погубила жизни тысяч людей. Уж лучше осознать, что никакие переговоры и договоренности невозможны - пусть все будет ясно. Зачем пробуждать бесплодные и опасные иллюзии?
Как ни странно, ХАМАС будет недалек от истины, когда заявит, что переворот вполне демократический, ибо он осуществляет волю палестинского народа. ХАМАС возьмет власть, причитающуюся ему по праву - в январе 2006 года он действительно победил на выборах в Иудее и Самарии. Однако результаты выборов в Рамалле отменили, правительство не было сформировано ХАМАСом, а председателем автономии стал Абу-Мазен, чья администрация известна своей коррумпированностью.
Как ХАМАС осуществит переворот? Ему не составит труда вывести на улицы сотни тысяч своих сторонников, которые просто пойдут маршем к учреждениям ФАТХа и правительства. В такой ситуации у Абу-Мазена не останется альтернативы - его люди сложат оружие и сбегут.
Куда? В июне прошлого года они бежали без боя через территорию Израиля в Иудею и Самарию. Но куда бежать из Рамаллы и Шхема? Верхушка ПА уже готовит для себя приятное убежище в арабских странах, кто в Эмиратах, кто в Египте или Иордании, а некоторые зондируют почву в Западной Европе. Сомнительно, что Израиль приютит у себя главарей ФАТХа, хотя в нашей стране и в этом нельзя быть уверенным...
ХАМАС накапливает оружие, а правительство Салама Файеда тем временем ругает исламистов за то, что они "завалили автономию поддельными лекарствами", чтобы на вырученные деньги покупать оружие. Силовики ФАТХа, заикаясь, ищут объяснения и... виновных. Виноват, разумеется, Израиль: мы не даем им оружие и деньги, будто Израиль должен играть роль спонсора сил безопасности палестинцев!
Через Израиль из Газы в Иудею и Самарию не попасть. Но ХАМАС наладил переправку боевиков через подземные туннели в Египет, оттуда на паромах в иорданскую Акабу, и из Акабы в Иудею и Самарию, где исламисты тайком создают боевые отряды... на деньги, которые Израиль переводит в Газу. Абу Убейда, пресс-секретарь военного крыла ХАМАСа, завляет, что "взрыв близок", обвиняя Абу-Мазена в сотрудничестве с "сионистским врагом".
Вероятность, что власть ФАТХа на территориях падет, достаточно велика. Плохо ли это для Израиля? Вовсе нет! Так же как Израилю был выгоден захват ХАМАСом власти в Газе.
На этом закончатся лживые и опасные переговоры Израиля с ФАТХом и палестинским национальным движением, переговоры, основанные на фантазии, будто можно решить проблему беженцев, Иерусалима и всего остального. После того, как были пролиты реки крови, следует признать, что решения этих проблем не существует, и только глупец мог отважиться класть свою голову в пасть льву, как это было сделано в Осло.
Обе стороны повернутся друг к другу спиной, и без всяких переговоров начнется процесс размежевания с палестинцами в Иудее и Самарии. "Страшные" сценарии об "одном государстве для двух народов", о которых без конца твердили израильские левые, о том, будто палестинцы захотят стать частью еврейского государства, покажут свою несостоятельность. Каждый пойдет своей дорогой.
Никто в мире не признает ХАМАС. Его все бойкотируют, включая арабов. В такой ситуации всем станет ясно, кто на Ближнем Востоке плохой и кто хороший. Исчезнет аура народного движения, которой так ловко умел себя окружать ФАТХ. Постепенно сойдет на нет поток денег, которые каждый месяц переводил Палестинской автономии Израиль, и прекратится поток палестинских рабочих, которые снова потекли в Израиль.
Пусть хозяином на территориях, как и в Газе, станет ХАМАС! ФАТХ никогда не был надежным партнером - он всегда старался не навязывать свою волю другим организациям.
Так как ЦАХАЛ остается в Иудее и Самарии, немедленной угрозы ракетных обстрелов не предвидится. Правит ХАМАС или нет, палестинские организации, включая ФАТХ, и без того пытаются освоить на территориях простую технологию изготовления "кассамов".
Поселения останутся на месте под охраной ЦАХАЛа.
ХАМАС говорит правду, которую ловко скрывают другие палестинские организации: "Нас не интересует Израиль, и мы не намерены с ним сотрудничать". Разве не так же думает большинство израильтян о связях с палестинцами?
Последнее и самое важное: Израиль должен открыть границу между Западным и Восточным берегами Иордана, координируя этот шаг с иорданцами. Так же как открытие Рафиаха означает возврат Египта в сектор Газа, открытие границы с Иорданией будет означать возвращение Хашимитского королевства на территории, и в Аммане это прекрасно знают. Иордания будет контролировать границу лучше, чем мы.
Здесь-то и начнет вырисовываться решение палестинской проблемы: возрастающая ответственность Египта за Газу и Иордании за арабские районы Иудеи и Самарии. Что сделают египтяне и иорданцы с достоянием, которое вернется к ним впервые после 1967 года? Израиль должен исходить из того, что это их проблема. Будут там созданы палестинские государства или нет (египтяне и иорданцы не допустят, чтобы это произошло), нам следует полагать, что это по большей части их арабская проблема.

HUNDREDS of people were killed in the central Nigerian city of Jos when Christians and Muslims clashed over the result of a local election.
"Hundreds of people have been killed in the last two days since the riots started. Remains of burnt bodies litter some parts of the town; it is so terrible,'' Christian clergyman Yakumu Pam said.
Local Radio Plateau said the governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, had placed four districts of the city under a curfew and had ordered police to fire on anyone who broke it following the clashes on Friday.
Aminu Manu said incidents of violence were still being reported in the city today.
"So far over 10,000 people have been displaced from their homes and are now seeking refuge in churches, mosques and army and police barracks," a Nigerian Red Cross official in Jos said.
"I can't give any figures but there are dead bodies on the streets that are yet to be evacuated. We are afraid of an outbreak of an epidemic if they are allowed to decompose," he said. Source: The Australian from Agence France-Presse
 By Mark Silverberg On November 25th, TIME magazine reported that the Bush administration is in the process of establishing relations with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and has warned Israeli Prime Minister Olmert against resorting to any military action against it or Iran before he leaves office. If true, the US and Israel are on a collision course. Nations not only have the right, but the obligation to defend their citizenry and territory from attack. As such, it is only a matter of time before Hamas and its Palestinian sympathizers are called to account for the death and destruction wrought by thousands of missiles they have fired into Israeli cities, towns and kibbutzim over the past three years. Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar noted recently: "We do not recognize the State of Israel or its right to control any of the land of Palestine. Palestine is holy Islamic land. Our national problem is not related only to the West Bank, Gaza, and al-Quds (Jerusalem)...but to Palestine, all [the territory of] Palestine." By that he meant Israel proper or what he terms "the Zionist entity." Unfortunately, Zahar is not alone in this thinking. A recent poll of Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza asked: "Do you support or oppose suicide bombings against Israeli civilians?" Fifty-six percent (56%) said they support it. This parallels the results of an earlier survey conducted jointly by Public Opinion Research of Israel and the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion. That survey found that only 13% of Palestinians agreed with the statement that "Hamas was a terrorist group"; 82% agreed that Hamas was a "freedom-fighting organization"; and a mere 10% believed that bombings targeting Israeli civilians in buses and restaurants could be classified as "acts of terrorism."

London, Nov.28 (ANI): British hate preacher Anjem Choudary last night praised the slaughter of 127 people by terrorists in Mumbai.
In a vile rant, the Daily Star quoted Choudhary as saying that any Brits killed had only themselves to blame for being on the battlefield in the war Muslims nuts are waging against the world.
Extremist Choudary, 41, said the attacks were revenge for the Wests crusades against Islam. The attacks bear all the hallmarks of a carefully planned al-Qaida operation as part of the global jihad against the crusades. I would not be surprised if they release a video very soon, he added.

 TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's Supreme Court upheld the stoning death sentence against woman convicted of adultery in the southern city of Shiraz, an independent newspaper reported Saturday. The daily Etemad Melli, or National Confidence, reported that the court also upheld another death sentence, this one by hanging, against the woman who also was convicted of killing her husband with the help of a male accomplice. The man was sentenced to 15 years in prison after he was convicted of being an accomplice in a murder. He also was sentenced to 100 lashes for adultery, but was not given the death penalty because he was married. The newspaper only identified the two by their first names. Judiciary officials were not immediately available for comment. It was not known when the slaying took place or when the two were convicted. While the ruling is final, Iran's judiciary chief or the country's supreme leader are authorized to stop death sentences from being carried out. Under Iran's Islamic laws, adultery is the only capital offense punishable by stoning. A man is usually buried up to his waist, while a woman is buried up to her neck. Those carrying out the verdict then throw stones until the condemned dies. In July, Iran stoned a man convicted of adultery to death after the sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court. Stoning was widely imposed in the early years after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, but it has seldom been applied in recent years, though the government rarely confirms when it carries out stoning sentences. Reformist legislators have demanded an end to death by stoning as a punishment for adultery, but opposition from hardline clerics has sidelined their efforts. Read more ...Source: AP
 The young men came by boat to unleash a night of carnage on the 'gateway to India'. Americans and British tourists were targeted, but Indians made up most of the victims.By Randeep Ramesh, Duncan Campbell and Paul Lewis The gunmen, most of them apparently in their twenties, wearing T-shirts, black shirts and jeans, came ashore in black and yellow inflatable rubber dinghies. Armed with automatic weapons, and carrying rucksacks packed with hand grenades and explosives, they abandoned their landing-craft on the beach, from where they would have been able to make out the outlines of their targets, some of Mumbai's most famous buildings. It would appear that they had landed earlier, around 8pm, in a larger vessel at Sasoon dock and then used the dinghies to get closer to their targets in the heart of the city. "Six young men with large bags came ashore, after which the two who remained in the boat started the outboard motor again and sped off," said one witness. "They were fair, chikna [well-off] and looked around 20, 22, 25 years old. They said they were students. When we tried to find out what they were doing, they spoke very aggressively, and I got scared." Within two hours, the young gunmen were causing mayhem in the city that has always prided itself as being the hospitable gateway to India. Read more ... Source: The Guardian
 By Ben Holland Huseyin Uzmez denies having sex with a 14-year-old girl. He just defends a man’s right to marry one. Uzmez, 76, a columnist at Turkey’s Islamist Vakit newspaper, is pleading not guilty to charges of sexually abusing a minor in a case that has gripped the country of 70 million. Since his release on bail on Oct. 28, Uzmez has publicly defended Islamic rules that permit girls to wed below the legal age of 16. “A girl who’s reached puberty, who’s having periods, is of age, according to our beliefs,” Uzmez told national television the day he got out. “And if she’s of age, she can marry.” Uzmez returns to court on Dec. 16. Whatever the eventual outcome, the case has widened the gulf between Turks promoting Islamic law and those who support the secular system put in place by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in the 1920s. The state religious authority, which employs imams at Turkey’s 80,000 mosques, opposes child marriage, though the practice remains rife. Thirty-nine percent of married women in the southern province of Sanliurfa were 16 or younger on their wedding day, according to the Istanbul-based Social Democracy Foundation, which is campaigning against the practice.

 According to Moroccan newspaper Al-Jarida al-Ula, European Islamist organizations are calling for a boycott of Dutch products because of Ehsan Jami's movie. The movie will premier December 10th, Jami announced this week in an interview with weekly HP/De Tijd. The unnamed organizations are upset that Jami is coming out with a cartoon move about Mohammed. The ex-Muslim originally planed that, but called it off at the end of March at the urging of justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin. The organizations are calling, according to the newspaper, for a boycott because of the publication of 'a cartoon movie about the wives of the prophet Muhammad." Already since last month there have been calls to boycott Dutch products circulating on the internet. In the 10 minute long movie "Interview with Mohammed", the former chairperson of the Committee for Ex-Muslims questions Muhammed about women's rights, Jews and apostasy. In the clip the actor who plays Muhammed will be unrecognizable. The movie will be in English. Jami invited Hirsch Ballin to the movie's pre-premiere. The anti-Koran movie Fitna of PVV head Geert Wilders led in the past to protests in the Muslim world and several calls to a boycott of Dutch products. Read more ...Source: Weasel Zippers
 Why do I believe American-Muslims should not condemn the Mumbai attacks and why am I encouraging Muslims to not join in on any such effort to do so being promoted by another Muslim website? 1. As Muslims in America we are not exactly relevant to the situation. Not only are we geographically and culturally distant we are also not a part of any conflict raging in India and we are not in a position to influence any party. Does anyone believe Indian mujahedeen, the Congress Party or the BJP is waiting to see what American-Muslims think before they make their next move? This makes our condemnation little more than rhetorical nonsense that is made only to please the ears of the media and Muslim-haters.
2. As of now, there are very few facts available as to what happened. Any condemnation made today is one that is made with minimal information.  3. Condemning these acts plays into the trap set by those hostile to Islam in that it reinforces the notion that all Muslims become guilty if a few do something bad and therefore the entire community has to apologize for the actions of the few.
4. Many of those rushing to condemn the Mumbai attacks are not keeping it real. Some of the first to condemn have been leading Pakistani Muslim figures in America. Some of these same brothers for years, until it became ill-advised in the post 9-11 climate, vocally and forcefully supported armed aggression against the Indian State by mujahedeen groups and I am sorry I am just not buying your crocodile tears for Mumbai.
5. We risk getting used as pawns in a pro-Indian hysteria that is sweeping the media. In doing so we may be overlooking the plight of Muslims in India and the hostile stance towards the Muslim World India has taken. Read more ... Source: Umar Lee H/T: Weasel ZippersUmar Lee

 The terror group that ruthlessly struck at Mumbai's heart has demanded an end to persecution of Muslims and the release of militants from prison. The previously unknown group that claimed responsibility for the attacks across Mumbai has added to the growing belief that India is confronting a home-grown Islamic militancy. The vast majority of previous attacks on Indian soil have been squarely blamed on groups based in or directly supported by neighbouring Pakistan. But attacks over the last year have been claimed by groups with names stressing their local origins. Deccan Mujahedeen, which said it was responsible for the Mumbai assault on Wednesday night, takes its title from the Deccan plateau that covers much of south India. The outfit sent emails to local media saying it carried out the attacks. One of the gunmen holed up in the Trident hotel told the India TV channel by phone on Thursday that the little-known terror outfit wanted an end to the persecution of Indian Muslims and the release of all fellow Islamic militants detained in India.
