DUBAI (AFP) – An Al-Qaeda group in Iraq has declared Christians "legitimate targets" as a deadline expired for Egypt's Coptic church to free women allegedly held after converting to Islam, SITE monitors said Wednesday.
The self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) said in an Internet statement its action was justified by the church's refusal to indicate the status of the women it said were being held captive in monasteries, the US-based monitoring group said.
"All Christian centres, organisations and institutions, leaders and followers, are legitimate targets for the mujahedeen (holy warriors) wherever they can reach them," said the statement.
( Boy howdy! Sure do love that " religion of peace !" }
The group which claimed the capturing of Christians in a Baghdad church that ended Sunday with the killing of 46 worshippers in a rescue drama, had said that the attack was to seek the release of the alleged converts in Egypt.
"Let these idolaters, and at their forefront, the hallucinating tyrant of the Vatican, know that the killing sword will not be lifted from the necks of their followers until they declare their innocence from what the dog of the Egyptian Church is doing," the ISI said in its latest statement.
It also demanded that the Christians "show to the mujahedeen their seriousness to pressure this belligerent church to release the captive women from the prisons of their monasteries."
The women, Camilia Shehata and Wafa Constantine, are the wives of Coptic priests whom Islamists have said were forcibly detained by the Coptic Church after they had willingly converted to Islam.
Shehata disappeared for a few days in July, setting off Coptic protests. Police found her and escorted her back home, triggering protests by Islamists who said the church was detaining her after she converted to Islam.
Footage of a woman claiming to be Shehata after converting to Islam surfaced on the Internet, firing up the protests. The Coptic Church says she was not the woman in the footage.
Wafa Constantine also went missing, in 2004, reportedly after her husband refused to give her a divorce. She was temporarily sequestered at a convent as reports of her conversion were circulated.
The two cases threatened the fragile sectarian balance of the country, where Copts make up about 10 percent of Egypt's 80-million population and have been the target of sectarian attacks

Yes, there are terrible people doing terrible things in the name of the "religion of peace" as you love to call it.
I don't think anyone is denying it. What do you want? Should we focus all military and police on capturing and interrogating anyone even remotely associated with a Muslim? Should we institute a curfew? Should we make it legal just to shoot anyone dressed wrong or with the wrong color skin?
Or am I thinking too small? Maybe we need to take every nuke we have and just bomb the shit out of the rest of the world. We, the greatest country in the fucking world, will rule over our nuclear wasteland. That would be fucking glorious wouldn't it.
Oh but it still wouldn't be perfect would it. After we finish with the Muslims, we need to get rid of the god damned liberals. They would certainly mess up our post-apocalyptic paradise wouldn't they. So it's decided, after we finish off the Muslims, we'll round up all those gun hating, fetus killing, hippies and put them in camps. Then whenever a true American gets bored, they can be hunted for sport. Wow, that would truly be glorious. Is that the world you dream of at night? I'll bet it is.

We might want to think about fighting those Al Queda guys...I wonder if the President might decide to take that army he's flying to India with and use it to kick some terrorist ass instead of bowing to whatever fella greets him at India's airport.

If this was a world wide group of Fundamentalist Christians, say a Westboro Baptist International organization, I doubt you'd have to think too long as to what to do about it.
Liberals can be voted out of power. Not so with the murdering Jihadists who want to blow up buses, churches and have already stated that anyone NOT them is a target.
But for some reason, that point seems lost on you.
Huh.

Thank you for completely ignoring my questions. I realize I got a bit off topic and a bit angry (maybe more than a bit)
But seriously, what more can we do? It's my understanding that we still have thousands of troops in the middle east fighting this war on terrorism, and yes, this war on radical Muslims.
It's also my understanding that when a terrorist threat is discovered in America, it's dealt with as best as it can be, I don't think it's just shrugged off.
So seriously, I really want to know. What more can we as a country and we as individuals, do to fight both terrorism and extremism?

Gee, I don't know. How about doing what FDR did, and creating internment camps.....
Hard to reply w/ a sincere answer when you aren't asking with any sincerity in the first place.
I've already posted earlier that much of what the Bush administration was trying to do was inanely attacked by the hyper Leftists in the media and other areas. Tracking of bank accounts and such is a good start, but for some reason, that was deemed too unreasonable.
I think Obama is realizing the true nature of this issue because he's not closed Gitmo yet. The few that Bush did let out, mostly went back to fighting us, so that's not the answer.
You want a more complete answer ? Sorry, that's above my pay grade. But in general, we need to understand that many Muslims are serious when they say that they want the flag of Islam flying over the White House. That they'll accomplish that goal at all cost. And it's not just red neck, ignorant hicks or folks scared of different looking people who are concerned, but the likes of Juan Williams and Bill Maher as well.
( And those are the one's who have come out and said their piece, in public. You know there has to be many more who feel the same way, but don't want to be hassled for thinking those thoughts )

Ok, well I agree with you. I think we do have to sacrifice some of our privacy in order to be effective in this effort. Tracking of bank accounts, phone records, etc. is a good idea, so long as it's not taken too far. Where is the line between too far and just enough? I don't know, like you, it's above my pay grade.

Shit, lemme be really, really blunt.
Despite all the bullshit, trappings and excuses, there is, and has always been, a religious component to our aggressive wars in the middle east, which goes all the way back before this place was even a british colony - and you think THEY don't know it ?
So, we decide to wage war on Islam, point of fact that's what we're doing, despite every bullshit denial of it - and you expect they would not retaliate ?
Fuckin A, I'm surprised it took as long as it did.
And for mine own, when it comes to a pair of religions who BOTH think it's a-ok to ram their beliefs and worldview down the throat of others on a bayonet, cause that *IS* what WE are doing, just as much as THEY are...
Fuck em, let em kill the hell out of each other, pun fully intended, but leave us who DON'T feel the need to violently inflict our belief systems upon the unwilling out of it.
