Because We Know Better ...

The following article was linked to The New York Times editorial page from that of The Guardian. Of all the articles that could have been selected worldwide, this one The New York Times chose to run on 01/06/07.

Read the first sentence which states that Al-Zawahiri, al-Qaida's number two man, does not have to be taken too seriously when he talks. There printed in black in white is the smug condesending attitude of the left. They actually believe they understand what the killers mean over what the killers themselves say.

I have a different mindset: I listen to what they say and take them at their word. When they say they want to kill the infidels, I don't believe they want to move the Israeli boarder a few miles. I think collasped towers.

To pompously believe you know better in this sort of circumstance is to sign your own death warrant. Just remember, this article was chosen especially for you by The New York Times.

Avoiding jihad
Leader Saturday January 6, 2007 The Guardian

Ayman Al-Zawahiri, al-Qaida's fire-breathing number two, should not necessarily be taken too seriously: threats are a standard element of jihadist propaganda and presumably designed as much to inspire believers as to alarm enemies. But it was still ominous to hear his angry denunciation of Ethiopia's military intervention in Somalia as another "crusade" by "slaves of America" that must be resisted by "martyrdom campaigns" on a new Muslim frontline.
