An End to Al-Qaeda

I highly suggest reading Malcolm Nance's latest book, "An End to Al-Qaeda: And Restoring America's Honor." I'm still reading it and can barely put it down. Here are a couple of quotes:

"There is no Western conspiracy to destroy and dominate Islam, there is an active plan - under way for more than twenty years - for the neo-Salafist terrorists of al-Qaeda and their allied groups seek to destabilize and eliminate traditional Islam. This slow-speed coup d'etat has been stated publicly and repeatedly by virtually every neo-Salafist militant since the founding of al-Qaeda. There is a real and open global anti-Islam insurgency under way by al-Qaede and they fully intend to win on the battlefields of both the arms and of the mind. The ideological war has been declared and the target is nothing less than the destruction of traditional Islam."

"It's been said that the decision to invade Iraq after September 11 was the strategic equivalent to America invading Mexico after the Japanese attack on Pearl Hartor in 1941. In the mind of the simple rich Texan, al-Qaeda became irrelevant. With B-52 bombs exploding behind him, Osama bin Laden walked off a mountain and into legend as possibly the greatest warrior in Islam's history. He had survived the worst America could throw a him and now it was time to start the long campaign. With George Bush's help, bin Laden would eventually spread jihad in ten different regions of the world and create a new, covert rejectionist identity, Al-Qaedasim, and an alternative to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He would establish a new nation and from there launch a new phase in his global insurgency for Takfiri control of Islam."

Malcolm Nance is an Arabic-speaking counterterrorism, intelligence, and combat veteran with 28 years operational experience in the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. He is a renowned expert on al-Qaeda strategy and tactics and a consultant for the U.S. government's special operations, home-land security, and intelligence agencies.
