This is the kind of story that almost makes me want a Western city to be nuked as the only way to end political correctness so we get on with the next phase of this war already....Police (UK) to brief Muslims before terror raids
POLICE have agreed to consult a panel of Muslim leaders before mounting counter-terrorist raids or arrests. Members of the panel will offer their assessment of whether information police have on a suspect is too flimsy and will also consider the consequences on community relations of a raid.
One of the Clinton failures to get Bin Laden came from his administration letting Pakistan know our intentions beforehand. They didn't want to fire missiles over Pakistani airspace without letting them know beforehand, a normal pre-9/11 mentality. The problem was that Islamists in Pakistan's intel community tipped on Bin Laden & Co, and they abandoned the camps before the missiles hit.
The problem is, this is after 9/11, and even after the 7/11 bombings in London. It only takes one Islamist community leader to tip off the perps, and even running interference for them by questioning the evidence against them. Insane.

Here's the text of the latest Al Qaeda video. Most of it features Adam Gadahn aka Azzam the American. Here are the key parts from my reading of it:
The fact is, the end of the world should be a secondary issue for you and me. What we should really be concerned about is our inevitable death and whether we meet God as a believer in him alone, or as one who worshipped others in addition to him or instead of him. Because while we may or may not be around when the end of the world eventually comes, death is something every soul must taste and it may be closer than you or I think. Maybe no more than a few heartbeats away. And when it comes, regret or repentance will be of no benefit. Now is the time for reflection and decision.
Again we see that it the promise of Heaven that is their main selling point. We need a philosophy of Life Extension in the public arena to offer people a real alternative.
Islam rejects the Judeo-Christian doctrines concerning Eve and Ham, which the West has used to justify all manner of abuse and ill treatment of women, and blacks.
You ever heard of Darfur, loser?
...if the Zionist Crusader missionaries of hate and counter-Islam consultants like Daniel Pipes, Robert Spencer, Michael Schuur, 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.
This is the most fascinating part to me, that he mentioned these American anti-terrorism intellectuals by name. Those names probably aren't known to many Americans, but they must be having some impact. Such is the importance of pronouncing moral judgment, especially today. Here is Robert Spencer's wonderful response.
As for those who have expressed their respect and admiration for Islam, and acknowledged that it is the truth, and demonstrated their support and sympathy for the Muslims and their causes, like George Galloway, Robert Fisk, and countless others, I say to them “Isn’t it time you stopped sitting on the fence and came over to the side of truth?”
And he knows who his friends are too. Does even this give Galloway or Fisk pause? In the same sense that I thought it important to read Mein Kampf that I'd say, read the whole thing.
