There is no mistaking that symbol. They are about the destruction of Israel. Christians – even Eastern Orthodox ones like Habash shouldn’t be advocating the genocide of the very people who produced our Lord and Savior. Not unless they’ve turned their backs on their faith, which is what I suspect. You can watch how someone who claims to be a Christian lives his life to see if he really lives by the principles taught int he bible, they’re really very simple.

As far as I can tell, the secular movement of the PFLP was swallowed up by Islamic jihadists in 1968, becoming a part of Arafat’s FATAH. So the PFLP that you’re referring to (the alleged “secular” one) didn’t exist anymore by the time of the attack on the above-mentioned attack by the PFLP in September of 1970.

It’s plain and simple common sense and math.

Can you really be serious by saying that Arab Nationalists are not Islamic? If the PFLP is an extention of the Arab League, then where are we? Being that the PFLP was funded by the Russians and that region of the world was run by Russian Islamists, I really see no need to continue the debate. Chechnya, anyone?

Marxists and Maoists today (just like before) join with the Jihadis in their ’struggle’ to destroy America. How do I say that? Well for one thing, consider their 10 euro campaign when they were sending money to the terrorists in Fallujah. They hate Christians, Christianity and the Jews and Judaeism, but embrace Islam and Islamists, just like Hitler did. The Arab Nationalist movement goes all the way back to Hitler and the nazis. The Grand Mufti was indicted by Yugoslavia for war crimes, but escaped prosecution. The Mufti was never tried at Nuremberg because the Allies were afraid of the storm in the Arab world if the hero of Arab nationalism was treated as a war criminal. There was a muslim faction of the SS, in fact. Saddam Hussein’s Uncle was a nazi, and Saddam Hussein carried an arabic version of Mein Kempf in his back pocket. But Saddam Hussein also admired Stalin, Engels and Marx. So it is with leftists, peas in a pod. Who says leftists are secular? They’ve finally found a religion that supports totalitarian dictators.

Christians living in Arab countries live as dhimmis, forced to show submission to Islam by paying the jizyah, if they survive at all. The Mayor of Bethlehem, is in fact a Christian, but he’s bowing to the Islamists. Christians have left Jeruselum, the city of Christ’s birth. The percentage of Christians who still hang on is about 13% of the population, and more are leaving. I needn’t wonder why that is. Christians who bow to Islam and don’t hold to their faith or read their bibles give power to the Arab propagandists who make life difficult. Brigitte Gabriel was raised a Christian and influence by that, you should read her book called “Because They Hate”.

So prove me wrong. Produce proof that he was a Christian. I can prove that the PFLP and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are what I say they are.

I will ask it again.

What are John Walker Lindh and Azzam the American? Does their heritage as a Catholic and a Jew turned Christian trump their decisions to convert to Islam and pick up the sword?

Abu Ali Mustafa was martyred (killed by Israeli forces), my dear, the jihadis celebrate and are raised for death. Don’t you know what a martyr is? In the Arab world, they love death. Chief Palestinian Authority cleric Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri stated,

“We tell them, in as much as you love life, the Muslim loves death and martyrdom. There is a great difference between he who loves the hereafter and he who loves this world. The Muslim loves death and [strives for] martyrdom.”

Pay attention, there will be a test at the end.

The PFLP began life as a Marxist organization and over time became Muslim. Like the PLO, the PFLP was an outgrowth of the Arab League. As such Habash’s organization was originally called the Arab National Movement. It was formed in Lebanon, where George Habash had studied medicine at the American University in Beirut. The ANM formed underground branches in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In June 1967, the ANM merged with Youth for Revenge, the Palestinian Liberation Army, and Ahmed Jibril’s Syrian-backed Palestine Liberation Front to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. By early 1968, under Dr. Habash’s leadership, the PFLP trained several thousand terrorists, most of them Islamic jihadists in bases in Syria and Jordan. And they did not let this training go to waste.

So how can you call it a secular organization when it was pumping out Islamic terrorists two years before the attack in the list above?

From the San Francisco Chronicle

The evidence collected in Arafat’s compound suggests there is little difference between the militant fundamentalist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a suicide bombing unit maintained by the Tanzim, a branch of Arafat’s Fatah organization, said Goodman, of the Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies.

Arab nationalist and Marxist movements from the 50s through the 70s were often alluring to Arab Christians as they offered an ideology that transcended what were then perceived as the backwardism of the dominant traditional Islamism.

Marxism, as it has elsewhere, has been largely discredited since the 1980s in the Middle East. Islamic ideologies have harnessed a lot of the impulses that used to be bound up in Marxism. But that doesn’t mean you can go back and retroactively assign credit to Islam for deeds that were committed in the name of secular left ideologies by persons who were clearly not Muslims.

What makes you think Abu Ali Mustapha was an Islamist martyr? The fact that his Muslim parents gave him a traditionally Islamic name? I guess that means you concede that GEORGE Habash was a Christian.

Clearly, your modus operandi is to assume that all Arabs are Muslims and any terror committed by an Arab is therefore Islamic. This is the kind of dumb *** thinking that leads to some of our current mishaps.

The name is Steve, by the way. Merry Christmas.

I’m curious how you can say he was Christian ‘by heritage’ and not ‘ideology’. That doesn’t make any sense. So John Walker Lindh doesn’t qualify as an Islamic terrorist, then, in your view? John Walker Lindh was baptised catholic. So which is he, a Christian ‘by heritage’, or an Islamist because he converted? I would venture to say the terrorists think he’s a muslim.

Nor does Azzam the American qualify as an Islamic terrorist? Adam Gadahn’s father was named Pearlman, a Jew. But his father converted to christianity and after Adam was born, changed his last name to Gadahn a derivation of the biblical name “Gideon”. So which is he, Joe…er uh…Kathy, a Christian or a Jew, or an Islamic terrorist?

George Habash inspired some of the most gruesome terrorist acts in modern history. He trained and promoted “Carlos the Jackal”. You remember him, don’t you? His name was originally Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, aka “Carlos the Jackal”, one of the most famous modern terrorists. His career took him from South America to the Middle East, Europe and Africa. He was implicated in some of the most gruesome and effective terrorist attacks in the 20th century. His story is detailed in earlier timeline segments. Somewhere along the way, the Marxist murderer became a Muslim murderer. The Jackal converted to Islam and has since written a book on Islam in which he praises Osama bin Laden and 9/11.

The PFLP began life as a Marxist organization and over time became Muslim. Like the PLO, the PFLP was an outgrowth of the Arab League. As such Habash’s organization was originally called the Arab National Movement. It was formed in Lebanon, where George Habash had studied medicine at the American University in Beirut. The ANM formed underground branches in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In June 1967, the ANM merged with Youth for Revenge, the Palestinian Liberation Army, and Ahmed Jibril’s Syrian-backed Palestine Liberation Front to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. By early 1968, under Dr. Habash’s leadership, the PFLP trained several thousand terrorists, most of them Islamic jihadists in bases in Syria and Jordan. And they did not let this training go to waste.

You know what you’re reminding me of? The Islamists who try to claim that Hitler was a Christian. It’s just ******* laughable.

In the early ’70’s, George Habash’s deputy, Wadi Haddad, was recruited by the KGB to be an agent. The USSR became a significant money and arms supplier to the PFLP. This was during a time that Marxist Muslims controlled much of the Middle East. In 1976, despite a PLO agreement to end terrorism outside of Israel, PFLP operatives and German Baader-Meinhof terrorists hijacked an airliner that was famously rescued by Israeli commandos in Entebbe, Uganda. That story, which features Idi Amin, the maddest Muslim murderer on the planet at the time, is featured in the 1976 Islamic Terror Timeline.

Over time, Islam became much more fundamentalist with the jihadists carrying the day. So the PFLP was forced to merge into Yasser Arafat’s PLO in late 1968, becoming the organization’s second largest faction behind Fatah.

So in other words, by September of 1970 (the date of the PFLP attack in the above timeline), the PFLP had merged with Yasser Arafat’s PLO. And what was it you were saying again? Your point has completely been buried by facts!

The PFLP partially withdrew from the PLO in 1974 but rejoined in 1981. As an independent entity, the PFLP essentially ceased to exist after the First Intifada called by Fatah and the subsequent Oslo Accords. They became just another acronym to which Yasser Arafat could outsource terror without implicating himself. By the 1996 Palestinian elections, the PFLP was irrelevant because the fundamentalist Islamic Hamas was winning converts at an alarming pace. Their ever-popular suicide bombings and Saudi/Kuwaiti social services had been irresistible. What’s ironic about the PFLP, and its stated desire to “liberate Palestine” from the Jews, is that there never would have been a Jewish state in Israel had the Islamic leadership (the Grand Mahdi (also known as the Mufti) of Jerusalem) not sided with the Nazis. He cut a deal with Adolf Hitler to supply Muslims for service in the Satanic order of the SS, so long as Hitler agreed to prevent Jews outside of Germany from leaving those countries. This action doubled the Holocaust death toll. As a consequence, the world (with the Islamic fiefdoms voting against and the UK abstaining) voted to establish the state of Israel.

The entire premise for the PFLP was the ‘liberation of Palestine’, just like Arafat (a premier terrorist), Al Qaeda, Bin Laden, Zawahiri, and the rest of the Islamist terrorist groups; even CAIR which has its roots in HAMAS. Pro Palestinian groups who are looking to drive the Jews into the sea speak the same rhetoric as the Islamists, so what is your point? Maybe George Habash converted! We’ve seen many examples of that, maybe he just didn’t broadcast it to the world. Or maybe the Wikipedia entry left it out. Surely a Christian hanging with Islamic head hackers whose holy book tells them to ‘kill the mushrikeen (unbelievers) wherever you find them’ would have found himself beheaded or something worse.

The PFLP was designated a terrorist organization by the US, the EU, Canada, and Israel. But as far as I can tell, it doesn’t even exist today because it was swallowed up by the Islamic jihadis who want to blow themselves up for allah.

I don’t consider someone who is a marxist but simultaneously claims to be a Christian while looking to achieve the destruction of the Jewish state just like the holocaust denier Ahmadinajad, holding to the tenants of Christianity. The PFLP is affiliated with the PLO, which is also hardly a Christian organization.

So Joe, don’t you have something better to do than to attack me for putting this lengthy post up when all you can do is pick on one point from one part of it? That’s not ’seriously erroneous’, and this list has been published elsewhere, so why don’t you find its originator if you have such a serious problem with nit picking?

The PFLP participated in the Palestinian legislative elections of 2006 as the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa List winning 4.2% of the popular vote. Naahhh, a group that renames itself after an Islamist martyr for an election shouldn’t be labelled Islamist.

In 2001, after Abu Ali Mustafa (the guy who replaced George Habash) was killed by Israeli forces, the PFLP renamed itself the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades.

The PFLP’s Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades has carried out attacks on both civilians and military targets during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. Some of these attacks are:

* The killing of Meir Lixenberg, councillor and head of security in four settlements, who was shot while travelling in his car in the West Bank on August 27, 2001.

* The 21 October, 2001 assassination of Israeli politician and Israeli Minister for Tourism Rehavam Zeevi, the only Israeli politician to have been assassinated in the current intifada.

* A suicide bombing in a pizzeria in Karnei Shomron in the West Bank, on February 16, 2002, killing three Israeli civilians.

* A suicide bombing in Ariel on March 7, 2002, which left wounded but no fatalities.

* A suicide bombing in a Netanya market in Israel, on May 19, 2002, killing three Israelis. This attack was also claimed by Hamas, but the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades have identified the perpetrator on their website as one of their members

* A suicide bombing in the bus station at Geha Junction in Petah Tikva on 25 December, 2003 which killed 4 Israelis.

* A suicide bombing in Bikat Hayerden on May 22 , 2004 , which left no fatalities.

* A suicide bombing in the Carmel Market in Tel Aviv on November 1, 2004 , which killed 3 Israeli civilians.

Duh. Get your head out of your ***.
