Last evening, LGF opened up the register to comment, and I managed to slip in. Normally, I just read the posts and skip the comments, now I'm glad I have an excuse to go in. That's where I found this.
Follow the link to read it all.
I did a Google News search and there is none, zero, mention of this in the media. The only other two hits I got were the SITE Institute and World Net Daily.
Whether this is a legitimate threat, or some jackoff spouting off, we need to get the word out anyway.
Thanks for keeping us informed, media.

I read something about this threat yesterday or friday. The author of this threat makes some random reference to Arizona (as a target). And, oh yeah, he claims to be a white Englishman--who converted to ROP-- living in usa, incognito. His name is Rakan Ben Williams or something similiar. From Jihad watch? I'll try to trace where I read this... more later

Jihad Watch has the info and links to World Net Daily where you can read a lengthy story.

Yup. From JH of Friday: (another post about Rakan today there, too)

This sounds kind of hoaxy. One of the biggest powers of terrorism is its unspecificity--ie the "anywhere anytime" type fear it instills in the weaker of our countrymen. I just don't think a very serious terror network would risk leaving any unintended clues or info that would help "the good guys" prepare in someway. Why would we be warned? We, unlike that huge, gaping vagina of a continent Europe, don't negotiate with this sub-human filth. So why the option "Should you value your own life...accept Muslims demands..." ? For some reason this message and Bin Laden's last one (the one in which he offers hudna--ha!) seem to be coming from people in a weaker position than that which they were in previously. At any rate, the wrath of hell will be unleashed upon you and your friends, Rakan,(if you exist)should you fuck with us here, again. Oh, and another thing, Rakan-- that is a really GAY name.

This guy has made threats in the past against European leaders and even President Bush. I can tell this guy one thing, he had better go back and read a little history. If he thinks an attack will cause Americans to surrender, then he and his friends are about to make the biggest mistake they can ever make.

Its more easy for me to believe its a frustrated islamofacist or even Leftist trying anything for a power trip in the midst of the hard right. LGF is huge. I think if we start taking serious hateful, albiet cunning bloggers in the midst of comments sections, perspective on the war on terror will take an unnecessary black eye.

WTF are you talking about, Java?
This guy didn't post this threat in the LGF comments, the link to MEMRI was posted in the LGF comments.
And while you're at it, take a fucking grammar class. Christ on a crutch. Your comments give me a fucking headache.

I misread it... honestly. Grammar class? I'm really that unqualified Vinnie? You mean I'm not always in perfect agreement with you, like your thread about the cops pulling over folks and giving baseball passes. Man are you thin-skinned!
A "fucking headache". You mean panties stuck waaay up your ass. I like Bluto's posts BETTER than yours. Suck it up, baby.

You're not unqualified, you just can't speeel properly. And if I were thin-skinned, your comment wouldn't exist right now.
I like Bluto's posts too, that's why he ends many of them with "Also posted at The Dread Pundit Bluto and
Vince Aut Morire.
Praise the Lord and pass the Tylenol.

If bad spelling is what this is about I suggest you have a couple glasses of wine with that tylenol.
This is a public forum friend. I've never been profane with you or posted to intentionally antagonize. I even agree with you most of the time but what can I say, I also think for myself. No one is the Man here. Don't ever take me (or my bad spelling) personal.

This sounds like another fictional character some Islam nut dreamed up, like Mohammed's flying horse with a woman's head, or Allah.

When for some reason you can't set off a real bomb, just write a letter about it, and it has almost the same effect. Terrorism is phychological weapon after all. Splodeydopes want free press. Giving it to them plays into their hands.

Alright Java, I apologize. Your original comment was way off base and my head exploded.
Plus it's Sopranos night, my inner Tony got the best of me.

No probs. And we can both agree, Bluto is cool.

It's going to take another attack to get the average American idiot to turn off
The Apprentice or some other such twaddle for a few minutes, and get serious about sending the muslims, (those who survive that is), packing. Remember kiddies, when they start to flee, chokepoints such as intersections on roads leading to airports, (where Bush will have special planes waiting to take them to safety, like he did with his chums the Saudis, no doubt), will be good places to stop them for a farewell chat.
I'll lay odds they get police protection the whole way. Our government is scum.

You mean this could threaten the price of gas and merchandise in Wal-Mart? Is our freedom, being able to eat at McDonalds or Burger King, being threatened again?

davec mentions that "This sounds like another fictional character some Islam nut dreamed up" . . .
Good guess cause "Rakan" the "Lone Warrior" is a character in AK comics (Middle east hero's)

Great catch, Princess, and I think you and davec have identified a clown seeking to sow fear but having nothing but a willing press to aid him. He has nothing.

Is the moon full or something? I mean, this Rakan dude is in full lunar mode with Allah the moon God.

haha that is a great profile for a Muslim superhero:
Character Flaws.
...
Rakan is never committed to any woman in every story there’s a female figure, she’s either his opponent, or someone he’s trying to save. She’s only there once and we don’t see her in following issues. [All that's missing is "Rakan likes his bitch in a burka, barefoot and pregnant]
Weaknesses.
...
- Children. [Uses them as a human shield]
Arch enemies.
- Chest master. [AKA thighmaster / aka ab-roller]
OK now we know it's a work of fiction:
He never sides with one against the other, but rather watches with deep sorrow and pain as they battle one another to death. His not to interfere, merely to protect those innocents torn asunder by the violence…and follows what he believes, in his heart is right.
You can't even make this up.
nice catch.

What, Vinnie, no hat-tip?
(That is, unless you didn't get this from my LGF Open-thread post...in which case...nevermind!)
I'm glad you posted this.
