"Pakistan: No Military Campaign Against the Taliban,"

It's just amazing that Pakistan has been able to string along the West in believing that the government would ever make a serious attempt to stop their fellow Muslims terrorists.

It's long past time to isolate, contain and defeat the Islamic world similar to the way the Soviet empire was dealt with.

It's long past time to stop believing that Islam can co-exist in Western societies.

It's long past time to refrain from forceful responses to Islamic aggression.

It's long past time to stop Islamic immigration into the West.

Shock horror: Pakistan abandons plans for military push against Taliban
What a surprise!

"Pakistan: No Military Campaign Against the Taliban,"
by Bobby Ghosh for Time,

Despite strenuous entreaties by top U.S. officials, Pakistan has abandoned plans to mount a military offensive against the terrorist group responsible for a two-year campaign of suicide bombings across the country. Although the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been in disarray since an Aug. 5 missile strike from a CIA-operated drone killed its leader, Baitullah Mehsud, the Pakistani military has concluded that a ground attack on its strongholds in South Waziristan would be too difficult....

Gaza kids training to kill Jews

'A taste of what Palestinians experience every day.' Muhammad

Well, just when you think people can't get any lower, "Palestinians" in Gaza sink to a new level of depravity and barbarism. Now they're training children to kill other children. What a despicable group of scum sucking animals.

Gaza kids training to kill Jews

Salah al-Din Brigades training dozens of Palestinian children to 'fight the Jews and kill Jewish children'. Eleven-year-old trainee: I'd rather die fighting the occupation than die at home from a missile. Islamic Jihad threatens to unleash 'the fires of hell' on Israel

Ali Waked

The armed Palestinian groups in Gaza have recently stepped up their military training amid what they refer to as the threat of a wide-scale Israeli operation in the Strip.

In this framework dozens of children have undergone training in the past few days by gunmen from the Salah al-Din Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees. The training included firing pistols and rifles.

"I am learning how to fight the Jews and kill Jewish children," 11-year-old Muhammad told Ynet, "the parents of the Jewish children are the soldiers and officers who kill us here. I want these parents to get a taste of what it's like to have your children killed, just as the Palestinians experience every day.

"I would rather die fighting the occupation than die at home from a missile, which is what happened to hundreds of Palestinian children," he said.

Salah al-Din Brigades spokesman Abu Abir said the drills were aimed at keeping the operatives alert and prepared. "Every day we hear threats from Israel and witness its training exercises, therefore we must be prepared," he said, "this is an enemy that cannot be trusted and is famous for breaking its promises. The enemy even killed the prophets; it cannot be trusted."

Asked whether Israel may consider the group's military drills a provocation, Abir said "Why are they permitted to train and we are not? They are preparing to invade territory that is not theirs, and we are training to protect our lands and children."

Why not teach these children tolerance and grant them education that will serve them in the future?

"The Palestinian people support the resistance and understand that we are responding to the occupation and that these children are being recruited to help defend their homes and their land. We are preparing these children to fight the enemy, as the enemy does not differentiate between children and adults; it wants to annihilate the entire Palestinian nation."

The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad on Saturday threatened to unleash "the fires of hell" on Israel, as it staged a military parade in the south of the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip.

"We will unleash the fires of hell if the Zionist enemy continues its crimes," said the group's military chief Abu Hamzeh after the parade by around 800 Islamic Jihad members, an AFP journalist reported.

"We're getting ready for the next round," he added, saying "the Zionist enemy will have neither peace nor security while it occupies our land."

Abu Hamzeh said his group had "hundreds of rockets" ready to launch at southern Israel.

Khader Habib, a political leader in the group, said Islamic Jihad "will not rest until we have liberated all of Palestine," referring to the movement's aim to create a Palestinian state in Israel's place.

Earlier the militants staged exercises using assault rifles rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.
The parade took place on the site of the former Jewish settlement of Gush Katif, which was evacuated when Israel withdrew settlers and forces from the Gaza Strip in August 2005.

Since June 19, Islamic Jihad has generally respected an Egyptian-brokered truce between Israel and Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas. The truce applies to Gaza only, and Islamic Jihad said it reserves the right to respond to Israeli attacks in the West Bank.

UN teacher by day, jihadist bomb-maker by night

Just another case of some poor, desperate, illiterate Muslim being forced into terrorism by Western persecution. It's always the West's fault.

FROM JIHAD WATCH.ORG:

UN teacher by day, jihadist bomb-maker by night
He probably didn't see any contradiction, and there isn't much of one, but of course there is the usual denial from the usual deniers. "UN teacher by day … Islamists' chief bomb-maker at night," by Adam Entous for The Scotsman,
May 6 (thanks to all who sent this in):

BY DAY, Awad al-Qiq was a respected teacher and headmaster at a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip. By night, he built rockets for Islamic Jihad.

The Israeli air strike that killed the 33-year-old last week also laid bare his apparent double life and embarrassed a UN agency that has long had to reject Israeli accusations that it has aided and abetted guerrillas fighting the Jewish state.
Students and colleagues, as well as UN officials, denied any knowledge of Qiq's work with explosives. And his family denied he had any militant links, despite a profusion of Islamic Jihad posters at his home.
But militant leaders allied to the enclave's ruling Hamas group have hailed him as a martyr who led Islamic Jihad's "engineering unit" – its bomb makers. They fired improvised rockets into Israel in response to his death.

Qiq's body was wrapped in an Islamic Jihad flag at his funeral, posters in his honour still bedeck his family home and a notice posted on the school gate declared that Qiq, "the chief leader of the engineering unit", would now find "paradise".
The poster was removed soon after reporters visited the Rafah Prep Boys School, run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees. Staff there said yesterday that UNRWA officials had told them not to discuss Qiq's activities. No-one from the UN attended the funeral or has paid their respects to the family, relatives said.
[...]

Surrounded by Islamic Jihad mourning posters at the family home, Qiq's sister Naima insisted: "He's only a teacher and head of the school. School was his life. He had no time to work with Islamic Jihad." Other family members nodded in agreement. At the school, a 17-year-old who gave his name as Shadi read a poster for his former teacher and said simply: "Nobody knew."

ISRAEL has long alleged that militants use UN Relief and Works Agency vehicles and facilities. The UN has denied those charges, although some UNRWA employees have had prominent political roles in groups like Hamas – such as teacher Saeed Seyam, who was the interior minister in the Hamas-led government elected in 2006.
Some western officials say UNRWA, as one of the biggest employers in the Gaza Strip, simply reflects the society it serves. But donors such as the United States, which fund the body's work, insist on vetting procedures to ensure their cash does not reach groups they class as terrorists – such as Islamic Jihad.
A UNRWA spokesman, Christopher Gunness, said: "We have a zero-tolerance policy towards politics and militant activities in our schools."
But he added: "Obviously, we are not the thought police and we cannot police people's minds."

Obviously.
