Siddiqui was one of the main people behind the recently issued bogus 'anti terrorism fatwa'. The second tape from his protege' Adam Gadahn, which states that "we love nothing better then the heat of battle,the echo of explosions, and slitting the throats of infidels", shows that he has learned his lesson well. Siddiqui and his cronies at the Islamic Society of Southern California should be held as accomplices for directing Adam Gadahn to Jihad and the mosque should be shut down for aiding and abetting terrorism before more Adam Gadahns are recruited.

In an apparent Sept. 11 tape aired on ABC News, an al Qaeda activist threatened on Sunday to carry out new attacks against cities in the US and Australia. "Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne, God willing. At this time, don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion," the tape warned. "We are Muslims. We love peace, but peace on our terms, peace as laid down by Islam, not the so-called peace of occupiers and dictators." American intelligence officials believe the man who appeared on the tape is Adam Gadahn of Orange County, Calif. Last year, Gadahn delivered a similar taped communiqué for al Qaeda. That tape was later deemed authentic. On the new tape, obtained in Pakistan, Gadahn's message contains a clear threat against Los Angeles and Melbourne. "Don't believe the lies of the liars at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 10 Downing Street," Gadahn insists. "They have dispatched your sons and daughters to die lonely deaths in the burning deserts of Iraq and the unforgiving mountains of Afghanistan." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Another Qaeda tape from Pakistan says US and Australia next target WASHINGTON: A videotape televised on Sunday allegedly from a US-member of Al Qaeda threatened to attack Los Angeles and Melbourne on the fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. |
