Saudi detained in Iraq wanted to attack Danish and Dutch at World Cup

'An alleged al-Qaida militant detained in Iraq said Tuesday he had talked to friends about attacking Danish and Dutch teams at the World Cup in South Africa next month to avenge insults against the Prophet Muhammad.

Iraqi security forces holding Saudi citizen identified as Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani arranged for The Associated Press to interview him at an unidentified government building in Baghdad. He said he initially came to Iraq in 2004 to fight Americans and was recruited by al-Qaida."

..."We discussed the possibility of taking revenge for the insults of the prophet by attacking Denmark and Holland," al-Qahtani told The AP. "The goal was to attack the Danish and the Dutch teams and their fans," he added.

"If we were not able to reach the teams, then we'd target the fans," he said, adding that they hoped to use guns and car bombs.'

"Why do Muslims radicals hate prosperity, and liberty?"

I don't think they hate prosperity. Liberty is considered a bad thing by extremists of all religions. These are people who seem to live in fear, lest the slightest divergence from the authorised way of life by anybody should bring about a total collapse of their world.

Their beliefs are so rigid that a small crack in the structure is fatal. Hence the paranoia.

Almost two million dead Iraqis and hundreds of thousands of dead Afghans might explain why they are a little skeptical of Americas version of "liberty" and "prosperity" assholes

Abdulla came to Iraq
in 2004 "to fight the Americans", and now all he's got is an idea to blow up some footballers ??

@horse's ass

I haven't even appeared on this entry, and you felt the need to address me. Are you trying to reassure yourself ?
Listen to Tony Robbins motivational tapes instead of backbiting me here.

The war between Iraq and the United States is winding down, and the ones fleeing are not the victor.

As for the war against the Shia, it is still to begin;
and these small-scale bombings like today's 30 liberated Schiiten are nothing yet.

The war fronts are: Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq. The dormant fronts are Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria. The terror fronts are: USA, US-allied Europe, and Western interests in the Third World (Bali-type attacks).

You'll have to kill the sunnis as well as the shia, Dolly. They voted for Allawi in the elections and have named a police station in Ramadi after a US soldier.

The police station in Tameen, a district of Ramadi, occupies a wreck of a building – its roof shattered by shells, its windows blown out, its walls pockmarked by shrapnel. That is not unusual in Iraq. What makes this station extraordinary is that a city in the heart of the infamous Sunni Triangle, a city that once led the antiAmerican insurgency, has named it after a US soldier – Captain Travis Patriquin.

He helped to convert Ramadi from one of Iraq’s deadliest cities into arguably the safest outside the semi-autonomous Kurdish north.

“Al-Qaeda is gone. Everybody is happy,” said Mohammed Ramadan, 38, a stallholder in the souk who witnessed four executions. “It was fear, pure fear. Nobody wanted to help them but you had to do what they told you.”
