Drone Strike: Lashkar-e-Taiba Promises Death To Penguin Staff: كيفن مورير!

by SOFREP · September 9, 2012 · Posted In: Admin

Sources at the Pentagon have informed us that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has begun targeting Penguin’s staff at their imprint Dutton, specifically people close to the controversial book “No Easy Day“.

هؤلاء الكفار المرتبطة باى شكل من الاشكال مع تمجيد وفاة اسامة بن لادن يجب ان يموت
Translation: ”The Infidels associated, in any way, with the glorifying of Usama bin Ladens death must die!”, says Hafiz Muhammad Saeed
Apparently the short list starts with Penguin publicist Christine Ball and co-author Kevin Maurer.
نحن ندعو جميع انصار الاسلام هدف الكفار كريستين الكرة كيفن مورير اولا. وهذا من شأنه أن يجعل مثالا الغرب العظيم اسامة لن ينسى!
Translation: We are calling all supporters of Islam to target Infidels Christine Ball and Kevin Maurer first.  This will make an example to the west that the great Usama will not be forgotten!

Pentagon Public Affairs Officer LCDR Derek Brown was not surprised. “First they don’t have enough common sense to get a DOD review and now this? Penguin should have known that legal and other threats were going to come their way with a book of this nature.”

These leaders like this pussy are always the same.  Brainwash all the other idiots to blindly follow him and kill and in 99 % of the time be killed.  Then when they are faced by American forces, these so call leaders throw their hands up begging for mercy. PUSSIES.  You want to be a leader, lead you POS.  YOU get on a boat and track down these innocent people.  YOU won't because YOU are a PUSSY.  You will just send your minions to do it.  He probably will die here soon by drone strike or by his buddies down stairs in the garage building an IED that prematurely detonates.

 @SherAli72 We capture them, line them up and hose the down with pigs blood.  Then we watch as they kill themselves.  Screw this politically correctness.  They are the ones that pack IEDs with needles with aids, lop off our countrymen's heads, etc.  Screw them.  We just go to outskirts of a town and let 500,000 pigs go in there.  Or we can have one of those choppers that drop water instead drop hundreds of gallons of swine blood.  That is the only thing they are really scared of.

 @shakeyerboobs  @Recon6 You don't know 6 and therefore you should be VERY careful as to whom you refer to as the enemy. Maybe people here don't like a callsign like "shakeyerboobs", which isn't all that incomprehensible as we have several very serious ladies who don't mind a joke but don't wish to have a discussion with one. In short: in order to be taken seriously, one should take themselves seriously.

 @SherAli72 Not once have I ever called you a radical.  Not one time has that thought even crossed my mind.  Like everyone on this site and the brothers in the Mafia in the TEAM ROOM, I look at all of them as brothers.  Even you!  I know you are not a radical by the posts you have posted.  I am well aware of the differences between radical and peaceful muslims.  I know you want the radicals stopped because what it is doing to the peaceful muslims. I would like for you to read a book I read awhile back.  Its call The Islamic Antichrist.  It is by no means badmouthing Islam.  It is very very good.  Would you read it and I will read whatever you want me to read.  It talks about the radicals and why they think the way they think.  Cross checks the Bible with the Quran on a number of times.  Again, I do not think you are an extremist.

Channel the emotion away, or burn it away. If I ever get to the point where I can't work out, I'll lose my mind. (Lately I've been riding a stationary bike with a broken bone in my foot.

 @michaelbdasilva  @SherAli72  @DeltaBravo193  @BrandonWebb   Hi Michael, this is a difficult day for us all my friend.  I have found myself wandering around, kind of lost in a daze.  I actually took my gun and went walking around the mall, Just Hoping some asshole would do something dumber than I would so I could vent my anger and hurt.  People were bustling everywhere, oblivious to My pain and that of the people on SOFREP.  I wanted to shout, "What is Wrong with you People"???  Did you Not see the four hearses carrying the bodies of our Beloved brothers? 

But I knew in my heart, most don't truly care.  It does not directly affect them and their families.  The pain we feel for lost brothers is not their pain, not yet.

Perhaps in the days ahead each of us can become a little more tolerant of those with beliefs different than our own?  I will try and Pray I succeed because right now I want to destroy someone different than me.  I also realize I hate everyone right now, because of my impotence to do anything Meaningful.

My anger serves no purpose except to enrage me to stupid behavior.  Therefore I will sit at home and grieve and watch the continuing drama play out on my computer.  What I will not do is  allow my frustration to attack 'something' control me any further.  I trust and hope you do the same.   SherAli is Not our enemy, not now, not today, hopefully not Tomorrow.      R6

 @SherAli72  @DeltaBravo193  @BrandonWebb we don`t all have to like each other and that is why there is the choice of , well choice in the west as opposed to forced doctrine in the middle east where women are equal to shit and a man is gauged by his ability to explode in public for his very distant take on his misguided beliefs. We are all living on this rock called earth in the 21st century , however the muslims are still in the1500`s . Get with the turn of the world or go back to your hole in the mountain and shut the fuck up. The west is trying to drag your primitive arses out of the middle ages! What has your bunch actually achieved in the last century?????  You got oil that was found by the west while you were still roaming around in the desert like the goat and camel herders you are back in the 1950`s or so. Till then your land was a sand pit and to a sand pit it shall be returned. Greed is going to consume the Muslim world as it is currently doing. GO TO HELL IN A FALAFEL! From a south african.

 @SherAli72  @DeltaBravo193  Ali, I will not ask you to forgive any rudeness spoken for these few days because it is impossible.  I will ask you for understanding, however.  For uninformed people (like myself), we are forced to decide which is true of Islam - the words of peace spoken by a few or the words of hate spoken by those who have been murdering us and each other these last 11 years.  By its very nature, peace is always quieter - as it should be.  Through history, wars, murder and great injustices have been in the name of a God - all for purposes that have nothing to do with that God.  I believe that to be true now.  Man is the problem; not their God.    And for DeltraBravo, I remind him that toilet paper is a civilized 'amenity'.  I grew up using outhouses and pages from a Sears Roebuck catalog, which was very common at that time in rural America.  In areas of poverty across the world, even if toilet paper might be available (and I would be surprised if it were), the choice may come down to buying food for one's family or buying something to deal with the remains of that food.  Which would you choose?  I'm a simple woman and I will not judge those whose cultures or religions I do not understand.  I will, however, judge individuals by actions.  Reason has been replaced by madness; worship has been replaced by hate.  I am no one's enemy, but I also have learned that simply by virtue of birth in America, I am friend to only a few.  This brings me sorrow - not hate.

 @michaelbdasilva  @DeltaBravo193  @BrandonWebb  Are you trying to agree with my anti terrorist (not anti muslim) speeches, or are you trying to inflame passions within us. Choose your words carefully. I am a sun stroked weirdo, and I am of Arab descent. And what the heck do you mean by "wipe their arses with their hand"? We use water, and cloth. Please don't confuse centuries old tribal customs with religious customs. And, in future, try not to degrade any religion in public. Keep your opinions to yourself please. I I were an anti-Semite (which I am not, God be good), I still would'nt stir up passions against the Jews. No matter what I hate, I keep it to myself. It's another good way to control our emotions.

  Sincerely,

Ali Paul Stein

Political correctness is a disgusting disease and i back you in you feelings. It is funny how history and religion has changed these peasants. Back when Iraq was Assyria, these goof balls were the first nation to domesticate pigs and brew beer. Then some bearded sun stroked weirdo arrived and declared that pigs were unclean and beer was evil but that it is perfectly ok to wipe their arses with their hand! America should really pull out of these 3rd world shit holes and let these ingrates murder each other out of existence.

The only thing that's funny about it is that it's more prophetic than satirical.

 

Genesis 16: 11 -12

 

11) The angel of the Lord also said to her:  “You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery.

 

12) He will be a wild ass of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”

    • In the IDF, 'Lonely Soldier' is a term that describes soldiers serving on active duty who have no family is Israel. These are volunteers that came to serve for 3-5 years. They typically go back to their respective countries upon completion. Most commonly, these are people who immigrated to Israel by themselves. I was one of them. While in Israel, I lived in an apartment building where the majority of people were lonely soldiers. It was located on the outer ring of Jerusalem, surrounded by four Arab villages. My roommates were two recon guys (like me) and one who worked in field intel. All of the other inhabitants were soldiers from various units, with most of them serving a combat role. It was a well known thing, especially to the Arabs in the village. Most of the time we wouldn't be there, but when we were on leave, we would come to the apartment for a little R&R. It was rare that the four of us were there at the same time, but once in a blue moon, it did happen. Each village had, as is customary, its own mosque. When the time for prayer came, the loudspeakers would call out to the faithful. It was OK, we were used to it. However, over the weekend they would make it a point to play the call to prayer very, and I mean VERY, loud. They knew soldiers would be in the building trying to get some sleep - recovering from several weeks in the field. This always annoyed me but there was nothing I could do. On this particular weekend, after an intense seven weeks of non-stop ops, all I wanted was to go to the apartment, sleep, eat, sleep some more and then sleep again. That weekend the four of us were at the apartment and we were all equally tired. We arrived Thursday night and after a small dinner and some beers, we went to sleep. At 0400 we all jumped.... The freaking loudspeakers at all four mosques began their call to prayer at full blast. Fuck.... We spent the remainder of the day trying to rest and every time we would fall asleep, again... The call for prayers, full blast! Over lunch, we all looked at each other and knew this had to stop. We came up with a plan. I know it wasn't nice, but at that point we couldn't care less about political correctness. Here's what we did. After some recon that night, we noticed that the call to prayer wasn't performed by an Imam or some other person with a microphone. It was a tape recorder that used a tape. We figured the four of us, experts in stealthy infils, could sneak in and steal those tapes. However, while we were planning the different infil routes for each village, we all smiled and did something better. We recorded Metallica's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' on repeat on all four tapes and then waited till midnight. At midnight, each one of us - armed with a Metallica tape - headed to a different village. All dressed in black, we were careful not to be seen. We entered into the buildings and exchanged the tapes. We rallied back to the exfil point, a crossroad not far from the last village and headed back to our apartment. And then we waited... At 0350 we went to the roof with some coffee, opened some field chairs and waited for the show to begin. At 0400 sharp the first "call" came alive, full volume: Make his fight On the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside ... Take a look To the sky Just before you die It's the last time he will Followed by the next, then the 3rd and 4th joined in. Full volume Metallica! Soon after, we heard sirens headed to the villages. I don't know what happened after that, but we had our own private concert, right there. No kidding, there I was... Metallica call to prayer
