Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Michael Scheuer, Steven Emerson - we stand with you.

In  Zawahiri's new video this week, Adam Gadahan had words for some specific Americans:  Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer (here and here), Michael Scheuer, and Steven Emerson.    Daniel Pipes addresses this in his post today:

In a statement today, Al-Qaeda's American rep, Adam Gadahn (né Adam Perlman, whom the FBI seeks "in connection with possible terrorist threats against the United States"), has this to say:

If the Zionist crusader missionaries of hate and counter-Islam consultants like Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Michael Scheuer, Steven Emerson, and yes, even the crusader-in-chief George W. Bush were to abandon their unbelief and repent and enter into the light of Islam and turn their swords against the enemies of God, it would be accepted of them and they would be our brothers in Islam."

So, Al-Qaeda wants me and my "sword" (a reference, presumably, to my computer keyboard) to join its efforts. My response to Gadahn:

I note your offer for me to change sides in the current war. But I am faithful to my own religion, to my own country, and to my civilization. I will do my part to defeat radical, totalitarian Islam and to usher in the emergence of a modern, moderate, and good-neighborly Islam in its place.

By way of postscript, Gadahn praises three Westerners: Seymour Hersh, George Galloway, and Robert Fisk. This is in keeping with Osama bin Laden's praising William Blum. (September 2, 2006)  source

Gadahn's praising of Seymour Hersh, George Galloway, and Robert Fisk is certainly no surprise to me.    And isn't it interesting that these guys are so up-to-date on news, commentary, politics here in the United States.  Obviously their hideouts have satellite TV, radio, broadband internet, computers, specifically laptops as we saw behind Gadahn in the video. 

I respect the work of each of these men, ...  Pipes, Emerson, Scheuer, and Spencer.  I know that I am not the only blogger who stands firmly behind these men who bravely research, write, produce, and share their knowledge with the rest of us.  Thank you for all you do in this war!

The spin of Robert Spencer
Someone sent me this link on Robert Spencer and why he hates Islam and Muslims and why he writes that maniacs like Bin Laden are using the correct interpretation of Islam and anyone who disagrees with him is a maniac that supports terror. After reading this site, one can only become convinced that this man is a hate monger that wants all of us dead.
You can find the main article here There are 13 articles about that man on the site, and all can be found by using http://hatewatchhallofshame.blogspot.com/search/label/Spencer

Greetings! In doing the investigation of Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch, I found that his primary motivation for wanting a worldwide war pitting Islam against the Western World, and for deliberately spreading hate, is that he’s getting rich off it.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take long after 9/11 for mostly unemployed bloggers to discover that selling hatred and fear was very profitable. I believe this is highly hypocritical, unethical, and immoral as it manipulates people’s emotions.
I have a the hate watch blog - specifically to dispel the lies of anti-Muslim bigots, that site is at

With you on all except maybe Michael Scheuer, who I believe was the anonymous writer sanctioned by the CIA to write a critical book about the Bush admin before the 2004 election.

But personally I'm still waiting for Galloway to respond. Can't wait.

So Adam Gadahn used to be Adam PERLMAN? Interesting. Not all Perlmans are Jewish but an awful lot of them are.

I got a kick out of dipwads praising of those 3 traitors to humanity. Did he actually think that would help convince people to submit to the indecencies of Islam, oops I mean accept Islam as their one true Satanic practice?

Well, at least assclowns like these give us an occasional humor break.
