Al Qaeda's north Africa cell eyes revenge on France - Polidicks

[quote]Al-Qaeda's north Africa branch called for revenge against France and labelled its President Nicolas Sarkozy an "enemy of God" over a deadly raid last month, in an online message seen by AFP on Monday. "To the enemy of Allah (God) Sarkozy I say: You have missed your opportunity and opened the gates of trouble on your country," Abu Anas al-Shanqiti, a leader of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), said in a statement posted on jihadist forums. Six AQIM members were killed in a failed Mauritanian-French raid in Mali on July 22 that aimed to rescue French hostage Michel Germaneau. Germaneau was not freed in the raid, and AQIM said it executed the 78-year-old on July 24 in revenge for the deaths of its members. Shanqiti called on tribesmen whose relatives were killed in the raid to "retaliate (against) the apostate traitors, the sons and agents of Christian France." On August 2, jailed AQIM leader El Khadim Ould Semane also threatened France and Mauritania with retaliation. "I say to the infidels and French Crusaders... will not rest until French blood has been spilled," Semane had said.[/quote] [url]http://www.africasia.com/services/news_africa/article.php?ID=CNG.8a43e9c8f40c9748f8b1f43268e194aa.7f1[/url]

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;24108921]So you want his country to get bombed?[/QUOTE] That's not what I meant; I just hate the two.

The language he's using feels like it's meant for the middle ages.

Welp, ready the bomb squads.

:france:

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;24108950]The language he's using feels like it's meant for the middle ages.[/QUOTE] I'm not surprised, I remember someone telling me that if you listen to some of Al-Qaeda's message tapes they sound poetic if you know the language. Or something like that. [editline]11:45AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Mobzor;24109002]Duh, they still are in the middle ages.[/QUOTE] That too.

A little off-topic but has Al Qaeda done anything in europe for the last 4-6 years?

Al-Qaeda sucks. If you disagree you're a terrorist.

[QUOTE=booster;24109634]A little off-topic but has Al Qaeda done anything in europe for the last 4-6 years?[/QUOTE] 7/7? I dunno.

[QUOTE=Assburgers;24109679]July 7 bombings in london?[/QUOTE] So many innocence lives were lost that day

Isn't Al Qaeda responsible for the bombings in Spain as well? [editline]10:59AM[/editline] Do these people realize that France was just an average player compared to other nations who invaded the middle east during the 1100s-1300s?

Weren't the crusaders mostly Frankish and Germanic?

[QUOTE=BurnEmDown;24110639]Weren't the crusaders mostly Frankish and Germanic?[/QUOTE] And Italian and English. But they were all called "Franks" by the Arabs.

[QUOTE=Mobzor;24109002]Duh, they still are in the middle ages.[/QUOTE] I know they're still stuck in 1431.

[QUOTE=Billiam;24110867]I thought the French were pretty big on the Crusades?[/QUOTE] They were, but so was England (who at the time owned a good portion of France) and the Holy Roman Empire, along with the Byzantines and the Italian states.
