Bin Laden’s Death Inspires Southeast Asian Al Qaeda Devotees to Fight Against the West

When Americans think about radical Islamic extremism, the Middle East generally comes to mind. But now, in the wake of maniacal terrorist-leader Osama bin Laden’s death, extremism is spreading far beyond the Middle East’s boundaries.
After nearly a decade of pursuing the radical mastermind, on May 2, 2011, U.S. commandos located bin Laden’s lair and assassinated him in Abbottabad (northern Pakistan). While Americans welcomed his death, others — some in far away Southeast Asia — secretly vowed to avenge it.
In a unique news piece, France 24 provides a lens into surprise terror networks that exist thousands of miles from bin Laden’s former residency. Journalist Cyril Payen delves deep into the bowels of these Southeast Asian terror networks, exposing radical agendas and an inherent attachment to the fallen terror leader. France 24 has more:
…we decided to continue to Pakistan for an investigation we began several years ago that took us across the whole of Southeast Asia on the trail of al Qaeda’s Asian soldiers. We also tried to understand something that is evident from the determination of hundreds of jihadists — the feelings of injustice and discrimination that are so widespread from Afghanistan to Indonesia, and in a large part of the Muslim world.
To follow the trail we had to gain the confidence of guerrillas in the jungle of Jolo, in the southern Philippines. The same went for Islamist fighters in Aceh, in Indonesia, and for networks of repented terrorists, convicted terrorists in jail, fugitives’ families, terrorism experts and sympathisers.
Below, you can watch this incredibly dangerous journey to learn more about bin Laden’s influence on Southeast Asian terrorists:

Posted on June 30, 2011 at 7:44pmDoes reading the news lead you to believe you actually know what’s going on in America? Here are 5 things you’re most likely wrong about.
You never heard of Sarah Palin before she was announced as McCain’s running mate. If you believe that her name is really Sarah Palin, you’re wrong.
Palin and McCain said they were going to reform Washington. If you think they were going to do this by getting elected, you’re wrong.
Obama disappeared for 2 weeks after winning the election only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to a John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. If you believe Obama has free will and the feds aren’t writing his teleprompter, you’re wrong.
If you believe that we caught Bin Laden immediately following the release of Obama’s birth certificate, you’re wrong.
If you believe that the feds haven’t recruited editors, journalists, and moderators, to write the headlines and control the commenting on major news sites in an effort to suppress this information, you’re wrong.
The fourth of July is quickly approaching. If you love our country and want to live in a free democratic society do not hesitate to share the following story. Share it with others at websites such as; Mediaite, Politico, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, The Daily Caller, Raw Story, The Blaze, Time, and all other major media websites.
This is what our federal government doesn’t want leaking out

Posted on June 30, 2011 at 7:38pmI’m so tired of hearing the term “Radical islam”. It isn’t radical, it’s the normal islam, they’re just following in the footsteps of their false prophet. Now the “moderates” are the radicals, after all they are denying their rich heritage rape and pillaging. Nooooo but some of them want to be good don’t they??? No they don’t, all the quran talks about is killing infidels, you cannot make peace with people that just want to liberate your head from your body.

Posted on June 30, 2011 at 3:57pmJEWS BECOME ANTI – ISLAM : The Jews have not changed since the days when Jesus Christ took up a whip and drove “the money changers out of the Temple.” Jews have always united to form monopolies. Today they control all the department store chains and speciality shops along with the lucrative jewelry and animal fur trade. Jews dominate the fields of all precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, tin, lead, etc. They will always ban together to drive Gentile competitors out of business.
Today America is being flooded with Jewish immigrants from Russia and even 20,000 per year leave Israel for the U. S. – all with dollar signs in their eyes. Jews have used their vaunted money-power to seize control of the Democratic Party and constitute over 50% of all its financial contributions. Today they are buying up more and more major U. S. companies. While only 3% of the population, the Jews control over 25% of the nation’s wealth and this percentage rises every year. They are the only racial group totally organized to work for political domination over America.
Opposition to the Jews did not begin in Germany but dates back before the birth of Christ over 2,000 years ago! Study the statements made by “The world’s greatest men.“ They reveal why the ”wandering Jews” have made enemies out of every host country that ever accepted them.
The Jews are the only people in the world who have found hostility in every country in which they settled in any numbers

Posted on June 29, 2011 at 10:01amI am still skeptical that we killed him when Obama says we did. Do you really think this glory hound of a president had really taken OBL out that he wouldn’t have pics posted all over the place. Video showing the autopsy, hell we even have fake video of alien autopsies, But no we can’t do that with OBL.
No the reason why we are not shown pics and why the body was deep sixed in some disclosed area in the ocean is because we didn’t kill OBL and BHO knows that. I believe with all the medical problems he had he died during or a few years after the big campain of Tora Bora. All that moving around running from our military had to have adverse effects to his health.
Another reason why I feel UBL died before this is where are the jihadists uprisings? These people kill and burn down Christian churches when hearing that one koran was burned. But nothing happens when there hero is killed? I don’t buy into the lies that BHO killed UBL. I won’t buy it until there is evidence to prove that he died when BHO said he did.

Posted on June 29, 2011 at 7:49amExactly. There was no reason, other than short term political gain, to say one word about it. But that wasn’t even good enough. Obama and his traitorous crew had to identify the ship, and even the Seal Team involved, putting those soldiers families in danger. My God these Democrats are ignorant.

Posted on June 29, 2011 at 2:19amRose, I have a different vision of the future. It is one where the free people of America and Israel completely destroy radical Islam and jihadist blood runs from their dead bodies because of perpetual lies from people like you. Do you know why radical Islam and jihad will not succeed? Because anything with a false foundation will eventually fail and fall apart.
Just think Rose, your lies will sow the seeds of not only your doom, but also the doom of radical Islam. I will sleep well knowing this, and that jihad blood will spill all over the world. America and Israel will stand long after radical Islam fades into oblivion.

Posted on June 29, 2011 at 12:03amWE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE TERRORISM UNTIL WE RECOGNIZE IT FOR WHAT IT IS…
We need to recognize that a large section of terrorism is coming from radical Muslims. We need to recognize that groups such as Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood will always help terrorism. They will push others to do their bidding for their agenda. There can never be a democracy in a truly Muslim country. That goes against what they believe.
This is much like liberalism, they will manipulate/use others to pass their agenda.
They will also push their agenda so hard they won’t think about the repercussions that come with it. Want an example: US Mayors for Gun Ownership came together and released an ad that empowers terrorists. Take a look: http://tiny.cc/sg3z3
