Al-Qaida is planning to detonate nuclear devices in seven major U.S. cities next month during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. At least, that's what
is reporting. Of course, to find out the details of the report WND is only asking for the paltry sum of $99 dollars a year or $9.95 a month.
On a related note, The Jawa Report has intercepted a message from al-Qaeda Godfather Osama bin Laden to Iraq's sheikh of al-Qaeda, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in which he reveals exactly which seven American cities will be nuked.
Which cities will suffer, and I quote, "a nuclear hell storm"? For the amazingly low price of $1,000, The Jawa Report will let you in on the big secret.
Ok, so there is no intercepted message. Color me skeptical about WND's claims of an impending nuclear holocaust. If al-Qaeda has nukes, is it simply waiting for Ramadan for maximum impact? Why didn't it use them on September 11th? Fourth of July? Chanukah? Groundhog Day?
Scenario 1) Al Qaeda doesn't have nukes, and never has had nukes. If they ever did manage to get a hold of an old Soviet suitcase bomb it was a dud or a fake. Most likely scenario.
Scenario 2) Al Qaeda has nukes but is afraid to use them. The goal of al Qaeda is the gradual restoration of the global caliphate. Nuking the U.S. would surely unleash retalliation so severe as to make several parts of the future caliphate unlivable for the foreseeable future. Less likely, but possible.
So, relax, go about your business, and enjoy the traditional Ramadan festivities--such as personally slitting the throat of a sheep or goat!

I will celebrate Ramadan by renting a Kabbab Cart and parking it in front of a Mosque. I will then cook up a delicious batch of Lamb Kabbabs and Cumin cakes and fan the delicious smells into the mosque to drive the faithfull into a lather.

Rusty, I'm liking your comments. They made me laugh. Such silliness is doing this country no good and just adds to the fear everyone has today. There is no way this ragtag group has nukes. Sure they are good at roadside bombs but how would they launch these nukes? And from what sub? The US is not that pathetic. Next thing we'll hear about are how a certain middle-eastern man has made inquires into submarine school. He doesn't want to learn how to surface or anything, just how to shoot the missiles. Give me a break.

In the case of New York, L.A., San Fran, and Seattle it would be seen as a definite improvement to the social climates and attitudes.

I swear, World Nut Daily is the Apocolyptic Christian version of the National Enquirer. They may report some actual news from time to time, but they do so many sensationalistic pieces that it's hard to tell when they're being serious. The chief over there, Joseph Farah, is an Arab, and we all know that Arabs are genetically incapable of being completely honest, no matter their religion.

I take umbrage at that Arab remark. As far as you know, I'm an Arab.

WND has already named the seven cities they suspect such a device to be detonated in, but they offered it free.
Bin Laden has received clearence to detonate a nuclear bomb by his religious authority, but WND has been going gangbusters with this constant talk with AQ and nukes. They predicted this would happen a couple of months ago, and since it did not, it seems like they are trying to keep the story alive and rehash it several times over.
They have lost a lot of credibility in my book from this exact scenario.

I'm with IM here in blaming Joseph Farah on this, not because he's Arab, but because he's kind of an alarmist. Of course, if I were an Arab Christian who knew the history of Islamic persecution I would also be a little alarmist......

Don't take umbrage unless you are willing to pay for it.

J.Adams:
I for one, welcome our new Mardi overlords
why is it no surprise that the muslim equivalent of Jesus comes to kill all the non-muslims, instead of reading storybooks to Children or healing the sick.
The Muslim Jesus has already caused one prophecy to pass I see:
Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf and Yasser Arafat will be annihilated in the same month.
Oh No's! The Muslim jesus killed arafish with Aids, but forgot the paki president!

No doubt in my mind. It's going to happen, just when and where.

I can't remember the last time WND was right about anything. They are just as bad, if not worse, than Debka.

Found this posted on another site;
-----
If I were to put a bet on when the attack would happen, it would be 10/13.
10/13/2005 = 698th Anniversary of the Destruction of the Knights Templar in 1307. The descendants of the Templars are the Freemasons, who founded the United States. Therefore an attack on this date would be symbolic of the destruction of the Templars who fought the Muslims during the Crusades.
10/13/2005 = 9th Day of Ramadan during the 9th Month on the Islamic Calendar. Put the two "9's" together and you get the number 99. In Islam, "99" represents the number of names of Allah;
http://www.themodernreligion.com/basic/islam_99_names.htm
10/13/2005 = Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of Atonement, the most important religious holiday in Judaism.
So circle 10/13 on your calendar because the fecal matter is about to hit the fan.
