EX-EXTREMISTS CALL FOR "WESTERN ISLAM": TRANSLATION - WE'RE WINNING

Islamic theologians convened at the British Museum Tuesday to support the launch of a new think tank to counter Al Qaeda's world view.

Former Islamist radicals in Britain launched a "counter-extremism think-tank" on Tuesday, saying they wanted to reclaim Islam from the violent ideology of al Qaeda.

The Quilliam Foundation, named after a 19th century English convert to Islam who established Britain's first mosque, says it aims to expose Islamism as a false ideology and help Muslims develop a tolerant modern brand of Western Islam.

Of course, I trust these fellas about as far as I can throw them, but, just the fact this discussion is taking place is a clear sign that the good guys are winning the war on terror.

Need more evidence? Well, take a look at Al Qaeda's #2 man throwing a shit fit over his own people:

Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.

Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel.

Al Qaeda is getting more support from former US presidents (Jimmy Carter) than it's getting from its own people. And in what seems to be a reminder to Al Qaeda itself, in a recent internet Q & A with aspiring young jihadists, al-Zawahiri promised that attacks on Western countries were in the works. Just the fact that the question was asked is a sign that even O'Doul's drinking suicide bombers in training are becoming fed up with Al Qaeda's tactics of slaughtering its own people.
