Bin Laden Retreats Into Hudna
Acting once again as The World's Source For Islamofascist Propaganda, Al Jazeera has released an audiotape message allegedly from Osama Bin Laden to the West and particularly the US. In it, OBL offers to accept a request for a truce from President Bush in exchange for withdrawing infidel forces from Muslim lands.
Bin Laden's latest move is undoubtedly rooted in the fact that an American Hellfire missile recently invited itself to a dinner meeting involving some of his valued leaders, who are no longer with us. Or with OBL. What with the missile and all.
This works for me in a couple of ways. One, it means we did major damage. OBL's gambit is known in Islam as a hudna. He says he is planning an attack on the US, but will postpone it if Bush strokes OBL's ego by folding and going home. Aint gonna happen. None of it. A hudna is simply a time out designed to give the jihadists a chance to reconstitute before attacking.
Two, the Bin Laden tape signals the ebb of his self-talk as the leader of Islamofascism. He's a titular head, and I love nothing better than to lay that handle on an Islamofascist pig.
Let's examine the history of hudna.
Honest Reporting has a good definition of the Arab/Muslim concept of hudna:
Hudna has a distinct meaning to Islamic fundamentalists, well-versed in their history: The prophet Mohammad struck a legendary, ten-year hudna with the Quraysh tribe that controlled Mecca in the seventh century. Over the following two years, Mohammad rearmed and took advantage of a minor Quraysh infraction to break the hudna and launch the full conquest of Mecca, the holiest city in Islam.
When Yassir Arafat infamously invoked Mohammad's hudna in 1994 to describe his own Oslo commitments "on the road to Jerusalem," the implication was clear. As Mideast expert Daniel Pipes explained, Arafat was asserting to his Islamic brethren that he will, "when his circumstances change for the better, take advantage of some technicality to tear up existing accords and launch a military assault on Israel." Indeed, this is precisely what occurred in Sept. 2000 when Arafat & Co. launched a terror assault upon Israeli citizens. ...
What Westerners need to do is to read Islamic scripture and learn that in Islam there is no concept of permanent submission to any other power than God's. Treaties mean nothing. Beware the hudna.
Bin Laden asks Bush for a breather whilst promising new attacks on America. Iran calls for the destruction of Israel and pledges to pave the way for the coming Islamic apocalypse. Syria is checking-but-not-raising every step of the way. France threatens to go nuclear on any state-backed attack, so even the planet's biggest pussies are huffing and puffing.
I hope the rest of the world understands that the US still leads in dedication to results, from Boyd Coddington to the New York Yankees to the 101st Airborne, and that is what is going to give Iraq back to Iraqis and ensure Iran never even leaves the batter's box in the quest for nuclear weapons.
No rest for Islamic fascism. Full court press.
