    I would ask you to try to attend a Jewish service and experience this for yourself
    there are Jews who believe that Jesus is Lord
    or attend a synagogue so that you can experience
    and know what God is doing among the Jews what affects them affects us and we need to know all that we can God can give us an opportunity for outreach during this time Each Jewish festival has special meaning that I believe relates directly to christ which means of course Messiah
    or Jesus the Messiah there is much to be learned

    I have traveled to Israel on three occasions all were on moadims one on Rosh Ha Shanah and two on
    Hannukah Jesus represented in the Menorah as of course the light of the world Jews set the menorah in the window so that all who pass by may see it's light Jesus the light of the world
    in the menorah the center candle is called Chumash may not have the right word it's been awhile but the center candle lights all the others Chumash means servant but in this case the servant if lifted up higher than the others
    if we humble ourselves God will lift us up Jesus the most humble of all and He truly was lifted up is being lifted up and will be lifted up in the future I think of all who will be around the throne of grace bowing before our King The Lord of Lords and King of Kings The Living Son of God
    Almighty can you envision this some day we shall see it by God's blessing to us with God all things are possible Thank you Jesus

    Tape Released: American al Qaeda Member Warns of Attacks


    Names Los Angeles and Melbourne as Next Targets
    By BRIAN ROSS


    Sep. 11, 2005 - In an apparent Sept. 11 communiqué broadcast on ABC News, an al Qaeda operative threatens new attacks against cities in the U.S. and Australia.

    "Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne, Allah willing. And this time, don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion," the tape warns. "We are Muslims. We love peace, but peace on our terms, peace as laid down by Islam, not the so-called peace of occupiers and dictators."

    American intelligence officials believe the man who appears on the tape to be Adam Gadahn of Orange County, Calif. Last year, Gadahn delivered a similar taped communiqué for al Qaeda. That tape was later deemed authentic.

    On the new tape, delivered to ABC News, Gadahn's message contains a very pointed al Qaeda threat against Los Angeles and Melbourne.

    In response to the threats against their city, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the city's police department released a statement this morning. They acknowledged that Los Angeles is a target for terrorists, but said there are no known, credible threats against the city and labeled the tape an instrument of al Qaeda propaganda.

    "The statement broadcast this morning on 'Good Morning America' should come as no surprise to anyone. The statement was meant to instill fear, and fear is the most important weapon the terrorists possess."

    The taped diatribe lasts 11 minutes. Like past tapes, it appears to include the same graphics and production techniques recognized by U.S. officials as part of al Qaeda's standard propaganda production. In this tape, the speaker levels threats against the United States and Great Britain.

    "Don't believe the lies of the liars at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 10 Downing Street," Gadahn insists. "They have dispatched your sons and daughters to die lonely deaths in the burning deserts of Iraq and the unforgiving mountains of Afghanistan."

    Only a few years ago, Adam Gadahn was a southern California teenager with interests in the environment and heavy metal music.

    His family says he converted to Islam at an Orange County mosque. There, officials say, Gadahn came under the influence of militants who took him to Pakistan.

    He has since emerged as an al Qaeda propaganda tool. His latest message warns Americans an attack is imminent unless the United States stops its operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    "We love peace, but when the enemy violates that peace or prevents us from achieving it, then we love nothing better than the heat of battle, the echo of explosion, and the slitting of the throats of the infidels," the tape says.

    As for the rest of the tape, the young man attempts to dispel any rumors or reports of bin Laden being deceased. He closes his tape by invoking the names of the Sept. 11 hijackers.

    "Everyone of us is Mohammed Atta," he says.

    ABC News' Chris Isham, David Scott, Gretchen Peters, Krista Kjellman, and Avni Patel contributed to this report.

    I don't understand something LE. If this guy is known to be an "American al Qaeda Member" why does ABC air stuff like this from him?

    Why is he still roaming around free to make more tapes to hand over to American media? Aren't these types of messages considered terrorism by definition of the Patriot Act(s)?

    The way I understand it from cable news, it was delivered to an ABC affiliate overseas.

    As to your other questions, not to worry. We are fighting terrorists in the streets of Iraq so we won't have to fight them at home, right?

    What, me worry? I have the utmost confidence in our government's ability to protect me from everything from reading the wrong library books and little old ladies concealing dangerous fingernail clippers on aeroplanes to natural disasters.

    I never could make head or tails of Al-Qaeda.
    A Ramadan offensive?
    I don't know about you, but I'm a much better terrorist when I don't have to do it on an empty stomach.
