Another peek inside Pakistan's jihad factories -- mixed with some of the usual mainstream media twaddle, but still containing some useful information. "Welcome to the 'jihad factory.' It's still in production: SONYA FATAH meets Islamic firebrand Sami ul-Haq on his home turf -- the school where he trained most of the top Taliban," from the Globe and Mail:
AKORA KHATTAK, PAKISTAN -- In the 16th century, a Muslim warlord who had come to be known as Sher Khan, the original Lion King, began building the Sadak-e-Azam, or royal road, to link the four corners of his vast empire. Before it was finished, he died in an accidental gunpowder blast, but the great thoroughfare continued to grow, and today, known as the Grand Trunk Road, it stretches 2,500 kilometres from the gateway to Afghanistan across Pakistan and India to Bangladesh.The Lion King was an Afghan, and he relied on the Grand Trunk to give his fighters the mobility they needed to keep his domain intact. More than 450 years later, those in charge of a sprawling complex of domes and spires that sit beside the road just east of its starting point, the Pakistani border city of Peshawar, are hoping their followers can do something even more dramatic -- bring about an Islamist revolution. And many people around the world now wonder just how far they are willing to go to achieve it.
As investigators try to uncover who was behind last week's apparent attempt to blow up as many as 12 U.S.-bound passenger planes over the Atlantic, they say they keep uncovering evidence that points toward Pakistan, especially its remote and often lawless provinces bordering on Afghanistan.
Peshawar is the capital of the North Western Frontier Province which, along with the neighbouring province of Baluchistan, is where so many of the "homegrown terrorists" being found in Muslim communities around the world have their family roots. This region is where they are believed to come to learn the art of war, and where Islamic militants are believed to be slipping back and forth across the border to attack the Canadian, American and British troops fighting to avert a Taliban comeback.
Read it all.

The author makes a slight error: the bomber teams were actually going to blow up the planes over American cities, not over the Atlantic. More craftiness from TROP. They must have been trying to mimic the Columbia disaster. Remember how gleeful they were about the Israeli astronaut's death and the will of Allah behind debris landing in Palestine, Texas? And these are the people we want to sell war materiel to in Pakistan. Bomb shelter anyone?
americaningermany,
He only needed to visit the local mosque (or whatever was functioning as a mosque) to be part of a "cell".
Hugh has in the past called for withdrawing from Iraq, so that Shia and Sunni can go at each other. Nowhere would this theory be truer than in in Pashtunistan, where if there are no Infidel troops around, you'd then have Waziris vs Khoeis vs Afridis vs Allah-knows-who-else-is-out-there. The more I see this, the more I believe that there are no people more richly deserving to be nuked - Iran included - than those ragtag vermin in Peshawar, Jalalalalalabad, Waziristan, Mardan, Quetta and a whole host of asp nests in Fuckistan.
Jihad Factory = Martyr's Factory = muslim womb.
To confront the MUSLIM we must do what has elevated the common man all over the world. We must remember!!!
Unfortunately, Islam teaches memory the old way via repetition. This demands that the student be given the content. Original thought is thus stifled. "Nothing can be better than it once was". New generations are penalized. "The future can always be better". (Dr Teller)
The unwashed masses of the world prefer a method used by Aristotole, Cicero, and Christ. The making of everything into 'rediculous pictures' in the mind is challenging, creates a need for imagination as is based on that person's mind alone. This learning increases exponentially. ..It creates confidence and common sense.
As a society learns to remember, it can grow. The old ways of Islam as have the old ways of Greece, Rome, and all the Middle East are sent to the trash heap. Now, except for the Middle East, Modern Rome Modern Greece, Russia, India and many others are seeing how the 'Ridiculous' does point the way to the future. The other method, memorization, bores us all and points to the mistakes of the past...and while important for history, it doesn’t cure anyone of bad thoughts or lead to a brilliant future. This prescription only comes from an understanding of Love of one's own life and the consequent desire to better of his/her life. This creates confidence as we remember those things that make each of us all, as a society, feel good.
And if you try it you will see that only when you accomplish things with one another do you really feel good. It's the memory that lasts….perhaps you the reader of this posting and the fanatics “have forgotten”.
