Febr. 28, 2006: Introduction

Current Al Qaeda Directive: Targeting oil is now the Highest Priority of the Economic Jihad.

When we started this website we among others placed an overview of what I at the time called The Islamic Front in Africa on-line, today an update, starting with Al-Qaeda, Dubai/Port and Iraq:  : 

While we mentioned in December that during 2006 China’s economic imbalances will have  severe consequences, the year will see major violence as Baghdad seeks to go after the rejectionist elements, and the Iranian nuclear program will ratchet up to dangerous levels of brinksmanship, here an update about the latter. Geopolitical View: Iran

But first the General Overview:

Future World Jihad P.1/Future World Jihad P.2

Future World Jihad P.3: The Nazi Connection

 On Dec. 22, 2005, the leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (no not Iran this time) stated that the Holocaust was a "myth" and denounced Western governments for criticizing those who say the Jewish genocide did not happen. Future World Jihad P.4:  Jerusalem’s Armageddon.

Future World Jihad P.5: What Now?

 A Similar Pattern in the UK:

At the same time in politically correct Europe:

The day we completed the following there were again six dead in an Indonesia 'bombing'. The growing Jihad in Indonesia however is directly connected to Islamist terror in the Philippines and Thailand, forming a deadly terror network in the Far East. Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, plus more Enter:

Next a Strategic Approach:

Updated: It seems today that the United States and now also Europe, are increasingly forced to confront the challenge it faces in its interaction with the Islamic world. Of course this is not, a "war on terrorism" because terrorism is merely a tool that certain, not all, Islamic groups use to achieve their end result. However sixty years ago the Military Intelligence Service of the U.S. War Department in an 11-page section titled “Islam: A Threat to World Stability,” already explained how the Muslim world (then making up one-seventh of the world’s population, now about one-sixth) could impede world stability. It further pointed out the frustration of Muslims, the sense of longing for an earlier era, the political volatility, the susceptibility to extremist ideologies. The Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad P.1: Egypt and the Sudan.

The Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad P.2: Somalia and Lebanon.

Today (Febr. 25, 2006) Al-Qaida vowed more attacks a day after an attempt to bomb the world's biggest oil processing complex, and added that it carried out the attack "based on the instructions of, Osama bin Laden. In this P.3 however, I will argue that Al-Qaeda does not want a popular revolution in Saudi Arabia, because this may lead to a U.S. invasion to ensure the continued flow of oil. The Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad P.3: Wahhabi's and Shi'ites.

The Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad P.4: Iraq.

The Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad P.5: Afghanistan.

In ”Devil’s Game” (Nov. 2005) Robert Dreyfuss, titles the spiritual father of the Muslim Brotherhood,  al-Afghani (born in Iran),--“ the great-great-grandfather of Osama Bin Laden.” (Dreyfuss, 2005, p. 20). Plus this week in “God's Terrorists” Charles Allen describes how during the 1850’s, Wilayat Ali ,a Wahhabbi and student of Syed Ahmad of the Delhi Sultanate, developed a secret network trained  mujahidin, and became the true planner of the Sepoy Mutiny in India, 1857.*

The Hidden Roots of Modern Jihad P.6: Strategic Lessons.

The current hideouts for al Qaeda's top leaders are the Dir and Swat districts:

While we mentioned in December that during 2006 China’s economic imbalances will have  severe consequences, the year will see major violence as Baghdad seeks to go after the rejectionist elements, and the Iranian nuclear program will ratchet up to dangerous levels of brinksmanship, here an update about the latter. Geopolitical View: Iran

Could Moscow's invitation to Hamas is intended to be a warning that Russia can make life increasingly difficult for the United States, and that Russia plans to do just that?
