Adam Gadahn and the Islamic Consersion of Ireland

Border-Rat

AL-QAEDA’S MAIN SPOKESMAN in the United States was preparing a message to the people of Ireland in an attempt to encourage the country to convert to Islam, new documents have revealed.
A series of documents seized during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, which have been published by the Combating Terrorism Center, include a letter to bin Laden written by Adam Gadahn outlining his attempts to convert Europe.
“I was… starting to prepare a message to the Irish,” the translated letter, dated August 2010, reads;

This was after I noticed the sympathy of the Irish people to the Palestinian issue, and the soft treatment by the Irish Judicial system of the Muslims accused of terrorism, and also not participating with its troops in Bush’s Crusade wars (although it is participating within the European Union forces in training the Somali army).

Gadahn’s letter also discusses how the combined traumas of the economic collapse and the Church’s clerical abuse scandals had affected Ireland.
“What helped to prepare the message was the last economic crisis that affected Ireland a lot, thus forcing its youth to look for sources of living in the outside,” Gadahn wrote.
“The other matter is the increasing anger in Ireland towards the Catholic Church after exposing a number of sex scandals and others.

The people there are moving towards secularism, after it was the most religious of atheist Europe, and why do not we face them with Islam?

Any plans to issue a note to the people of Ireland – and also to Catholics in the Arab region – was upset by a raid on a Catholic Church in Baghdad by the Islamic State of Iraq, a militant group linked to Al-Qaeda and regularly referred to simply as ‘Al-Qaeda in Iraq’.

This attack halted me, and I thought twice about my two project messages. As actions are more effective than words, their act and the contacts they carried during the attack, and the statement they issued later, do not help to gain people’s sympathy.

Elsewhere, the documents outline how Bin Laden had considered changing the name of the organisation – which is formally titled ‘Qa’ida al-Jihad’ – because the name had come to be considered as a body outside of the teachings of Islam.
“This is what was raised repeatedly in the past as indicated by Obama, that our war is not on Islam or on the Muslim people, but rather our war is on the al-Qaida organisation,” bin Laden had written.
“So if the word al-Qaida was derived from, or had strong ties to, the word Islam or Muslims, or if it had the name ‘Islamic party’, it would be difficult for Obama to say that.”
Bin Laden also suggested that the name had come to depict a military-only organisation, which had ultimately detracted from its overall aim of ‘unifying the nation’, and proposed ten alternative names for other group leaders to consider.

Adam Gadahn, eh? Why does that name ring a bell? Oh, thats right. Adam Gadahn alias Adam Pearlman. Adam Pearlman, grandson of a member of the ADL Board of Directors;

But Adam Pearlmen is his REAL name! Adam is the grandson of the late Carl K. Pearlman; a prominent Jewish urologist in Orange County. Carl was also a member of the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League, which was caught spying on Americans for Israel in 1993, much as AIPAC has been caught up in the more recent spy scandal.

Al-Qaeda cleric exposed as an MI5 double agent
ONE of al-Qaeda's most dangerous figures has been revealed as a double agent working for MI5, raising criticism from European governments, which repeatedly called for his arrest.

Britain ignored warnings - which began before the September 11 attacks - from half a dozen friendly governments about Abu Qatada's links with terrorist groups and refused to arrest him. Intelligence chiefs hid from European allies their intention to use the cleric as a key informer against Islamic militants in Britain.

...

Indignant French officials accused MI5 of helping the cleric to abscond. While he remained on the run, one intelligence chief in Paris was quoted as saying: "British intelligence is saying they have no idea where he is, but we know where he is and, if we know, I'm quite sure they do."

Disappointing Johnny, you're not becoming another Palestinian Lord Haw-Haw are you?

So I'll ask Johnnys usual opener then. What's the conspiracy?

Is it that Adam Gadahan is Abu-Qatada?

The London Times article you quoted from "Al-Qaeda cleric exposed as an MI5 double agent" doesn't mention Pearlman does it?

Go on the Bin Laden! The Ra could have have done with him for a few water-pistols now that Senor. Gaddafi is brown bread.

I reckon that message they wanted to send to Ireland never existed in the first place. Yank's probably made it up.

Aye pro-war bull****e to win the hearts and minds. I have seen a growth in Islamic interest ( non-militant, of course) in Dublin, theres boys outside the GPO handing leafets about Allah and the such.
I think its great a bit of diversity, i reckon it will be difficult to find truth followers in Eire as most of us are borderline alcoholics and wouldnt be fit to put the pints down for Allah

It always amazes me how every AQ dispatch they seem to find is like a propaganda boon for the Yanky far right... Jaysus, sure Osama hated Fox news and loved MSNBC!

RMD

It will provide a good laugh if it turns out the letter was fabricated by the yanks. Very few people here would be offended by AQ's attempt, more so just laugh at it.

"Ah jaysus sure aren't those muslims a great bunch of lads, thinkin' they could convert us and get us to stop drinkin' and all that. Mad bastards all together harharharhar" and so on.
