Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri urges young Muslim men to launch lone-wolf attacks on American homes

[Boiler 46,336]

The Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri has called on young Muslim men in Western countries to carry out lone-wolf attacks – and urged greater unity between militants.

"I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the crusader coalition not to hesitate. We must now focus on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the crusader West and specifically America," he said in an audio recording posted online on Sunday, referring to nations making up the Western-led coalition in Iraq and Syria.

He suggested Muslim youth in the West take the Tsarnaev and Kouachi brothers, who carried out the Boston marathon bombings and Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris respectively, and others as examples to follow.

In a recording released on Wednesday, Zawahiri denounced Isis as "illegitimate", indicating the extent of the schism between the twogroups.

In the audio message, which surfaced on the internet on Wednesday, Zawahiri said that his organisation does not recognise Isis as the caliphate they claim to be.

From his references to events, it appears that the message was recorded roughly eight months ago.

Zawahari said: "We have endured a lot of harm from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (leader of Isis) and his brothers, and we preferred to respond with as little as possible, out of our concern to extinguish the fire of sedition," Reuters reported.

"But Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his brothers did not leave us a choice, for they have demanded that all the mujahideen (jihadists) reject their confirmed pledges of allegiance, and to pledge allegiance to them for what they claim of a caliphate," he said.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, delivering a sermon at a mosque in Iraq (AP) Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, delivering a sermon at a mosque in Iraq (AP) Isis declared a caliphate in large parts of Iraq and Syria under its control and announced it will become a greater power than all other jihadi groups, including al-Qaeda.

In a rare public speech in Mosul, Iraq last year, Baghdadi declared himself caliph and ordered all Muslims to "obey" him.

He said: "I am the wali (leader) who presides over you, though I am not the best of you, so if you see that I am right, assist me."

"If you see that I am wrong, advise me and put me on the right track, and obey me as long as I obey God in you."

Although he does not recognise Isis as a caliphate, Zawahri said that it is an emirate and that: "Despite the big mistakes, if I were in Iraq or Syria I would cooperate with them in killing the crusaders and secularists and Shi'ites even though I don't recognise the legitimacy of their state, because the matter is bigger than that".

The strategic differences between the two organisations indicate a generational split, terror experts say. While al-Qaeda prefers to conduct long-planned schemes, Isis is more popular with young extremists for its fast and devastating results.

Former National Counterterrorism Centre director Matthew Olsen told ABC News that al-Zawahri speaking out against Baghdadi "suggests that the differences are irreconcilable" between the two groups.

It is hoped that the divide between Isis and al-Qaeda can be used by the Western allies to fight against them.

If Isis and al-Qaeda were able to re-join forces the consequences "would be terrible," he said.

It was not clear when the recording was made but references to former Taliban leader Mullah Mohamed Omar as being alive suggest it is at least two months old. Omar's death was announced by Afghanistan's government in late July.

Calls for 10,000 refugees from the troubled lands to enter this country. I am sure more than a few ISIS folks would love to be in that wave .

On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry said at a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill that the total number of refugees taken in by the United States could rise to more than 100,000, from the current figure of 70,000. State Department officials said that not all of the additional 30,000 would be Syrians, but many would be. But Mr. Earnest said that members of Congress “misunderstood” Mr. Kerry, and that the number of refugees would not rise to 100,000 next year but might in later years.

_{70-80 percent men are these refugees ... They leave women and children behind.}

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Over the past three years, 2.8 million people have fled the civil war in Syria nearly four in five of them are women and children. There are now 145,000 Syrian refugee families in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq headed by women, a quarter of all Syrian families on the run. As their husbands and male family members have been killed, imprisoned or badly injured, many of these women now have to fend for themselves and their children. Isolated and traumatized, in severe poverty, they fear for the lives of their children, and the constant threat of sexual violence and humiliation.

or fled to Europe.

Mostly it seems the latter.

The right wing press certainly wants to encourage that interpretation.

One in three Italy migrants refuse ID

Of the 122,000 migrants who have arrived in Italy so far this year, only 80,000 have agreed to be identified, according to figures from the Italian police.

Daniela Stradiotto, the director of the servizio di polizia scientifica, the unit of the Italian police force that deals with forensics and identification, told Ansa news that it was mostly Eritrean, Syrian and Somalian migrants refusing to be identified.

“It's technically illegal to force them to undergo photo and fingerprint identification,” she said.

“Police are looking for new legal powers to hold migrants for 72 hours instead of the current 12 in order to try to force them to undergo identification,” Stradiotto added.

According to the EU's Dublin regulation, migrants seeking asylum must identify themselves before their asylum applications can be processed - in theory, this must be done in the first EU country they arrive in.

But the figures seem to show that many are choosing to remain under the radar in Italy, in the hope of moving on to other EU countries where they might find better prospects.

The Dublin regulation also forces migrants to stay in the country where they submitted their application while it is being processed – which, in Italy especially. can take months, or even years.

During this time, should a migrant cross into another country, they must be returned to the one where their application was made.

Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano acknowledged the problem during a TV interview in June.

“They don't want to be here, otherwise they would have to stay in our country under the accords. So when a police officer is in front of an Eritrean who is two meters tall, he cannot break his fingers but must respect his human rights.”

However, in the face of the ongoing migrant influx, the Dublin regulation has been partially suspended by some EU countries.

On August 24th Germany suspended the agreement, promising to process asylum applications for any Syrian refugee already in Europe, while on September 2nd the Czech Republic followed suit.

Perhaps that 1/3 are isis supporters

[ready4ONE 5,400]

Lost. Another failure to read what you posted?

1/3rd of Italian refugees refuse to give ID.

You conclude that they could be ISIS.

What you posted indicates that they have a right to refuse.
