Interesting interview with one of the founders of Al-Qaeda (who became a British intelligence asset in 1998): http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31700894

Yes it's an interesting testimony, I like that it in part turned on a theological interpretation of a fatwa issued against the Mongols and what civilians killings were 'legitimate' in that situation. 

I think there's a bbc interview/ programme about him on bbc iplayer, if you can access it.

It was part of a Radio 4 programme this morning about IS, catch it here:

Jacob, what's the story with your signature? Lost a bet?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

He just came around to the glory that is Caliga.  I suggest you do the same.

I realized how awesome Caliga is, and I wanted to share that with the rest of languish.

(and no, I did not lose a bet)

That is bizarre.  I guess my experience with Islamic student societies has always been how un-controversial they are.  Heck they have been posting 'Stop ISIS' posters all over campus at UT for months.

I can remember that while I was attending KCL in the 1990s almost every morning at the entrance to the main campus there were Muslim students proclaiming about how Britain would soon be under Islamic Law and how much better and wonderful everything would be then. Social Justice for all! With explanatory leaflets IIRC.

They are just making sure no evidence remains that the Middle East was ever at the forefront of civilization.

I guess there is something to be said for so much of that stuff sitting in London and Paris.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
