Al-Qaida ideologue condemns Bin Laden slaying
2011-05-03
[Washington Examiner] A top al-Qaeda ideologue vowed Dire Revenge™ Monday for the killing of the late Osama bin Laden
... who sleeps with the fishes...
 by U.S. forces, in the first jihadist admission of the bully boy leader's death.

The reaction of the online jihadi community to their hero's death varied between expressions of disbelief
It seems Allah wasn't watching over their boy after all. It's just that the Yanks hadn't yet got there.
mixed with protestations of Dire Revenge™ and vows to continue the fight against Islam's enemies.

The prominent commentator, going by the online name "Assad al-Jihad2," posted on Death Eater websites a long eulogy for bin Laden and said the Islamic holy war against the West was far from over.
And vice versa, lad. Ponder that idea for a bit -- understanding will come to you.
"Woe to his enemies. By God, we will avenge the killing of the Sheik of Islam," he wrote. "Those who wish that jihad has ended or weakened, I tell them: Let us wait a little bit."
I think we call those fly traps. As in, "Come in to my parlour," said the spider to the fly. Iraq was a very effective one, Afghanistan is working nicely, too... and the locals train up well enough to continue the exercise, once they discover proper motivation. (In Afghanistan, they now don't get to learn how to shoot until they've master basic literacy, and they have to master basic numeracy to handle the cell phone-connected bank account for their pay. It's a very clever scheme.)
Militant websites with links to al-Qaeda regularly post long interviews with al-Jihad2 on the protocols of waging holy war. He is also often used to resolve questions of doctrine.

"The battle between us and international tyranny is long and will not be stopped by the martyrdom of our beloved one, the lion of Islam," said al-Jihad2, whose own online name means lion of jihad. "How many martyrdom seekers have been born today?"

U.S. forces raided bin Laden's heavily guarded compound in a suburb of Pakistain's capital late Sunday, killing him, his son, a woman and two others.

The death of bin Laden marks a triumph of the U.S. in its long struggle against al-Qaeda which began long before the Sept. 11 attacks with the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 231 people.

Revenge attacks could come from the al-Qaeda franchises existing in the tribal areas of Pakistain, southern Algeria and especially Yemen -- which hosts one of the most vigorous branches.

While most analysts believe bin Laden had long ago turned over the day-to-day operations of the Death Eater network to his lieutenants, he remained an inspirational and charismatic figure to jihadists around the world.
Only now the inspiration is, just sit tight and martyrdom will come to you in the night.
"The weight of Sheik Osama is equal to that of the whole United States," said al-Jihad2 in his eulogy.

"Which country managed to attack the Pentagon? Which countries managed to send the most powerful country in the world into decline? The one who did that is a nation called Osama bin Laden," he said.

Hussein bin Mahmoud, a prominent and respected writer for the bully boy web forums wrote a long article Monday, entitled "Osama is not dead ... he is alive with his message."

He said Americans would be allowed to celebrate a few days and then "we will resume the Islamic war ... wait for the worst to come for you and the agents in Pakistain, Afghanistan and Europe."

Any Dire Revenge™ attacks should be well planned because "individual and random operations lead to negative results," he cautioned.

Several of the supervisors for the web forums made rare public statements, cautioning participants to await official confirmation from al-Qaeda itself.

Assad al-Islam, the general supervisor of one forum, however said "if he died, his jihadi message has not, we are all mujahedeen."
