So now Abu Sayyaf are getting into the “if you don’t leave us alone we’ll come after you” business so well executed by al-Qaeda since September 11.
Hope they do as well at it.
The Abu Sayyaf terrorist group called on God to help it punish the United States for working with the Philippines government in its drive to wipe out the Al Qaeda linked organization.
Somehow the example of Afghanistan tends to suggest that God isn’t on their side.
“Sooner or later, may Allah will it that you will get his punishments through us so that you may be tilted into your senses,” Abu Sayyaf spokesman Abu Sulaiman said Thursday in a statement addressed to the U.S. government.
Yeah, “tilt” us into our senses. Which in a just world would mean dropping thermonuclear weapons on your sorry ass. Those islands you hang out on are pretty small.
“The very things you hold dear in this world, your lives and your properties, are not safe from us.
Bring it on, Bubba. The Japanese made the same mistake in 1941. I’ll bet you think the US is just Hawaii and California, too.
For what is dear to you, we gladly dedicate for the sake of our creator so that there may be true peace and justice in real sense in this world,” said the statement, delivered in English on RMN radio.
Not very good English. What does that last sentence really mean?
