Takfiri

Remember the takfiri? I didn't think so. Me neither. Perhaps we should.

In short, takfiri are islamist jihadis who believe in violence against everyone who is not a devout moslem. They believe in infiltration into western society, recruit women, and support themselves through crime. Think Mohammed Atta - Roland Jacquard, one of the world's leading scholars on Islamic terrorism, says flatly, "Atta was Takfiri."

Why should we care now? Because the 3/11 bombers in Spain were takfiri. Fifty-five pounds of hashish were bartered for the explosives to kill 200 people.

Here is a Time expose on takfiri from the early part of the war on terror. Here is an even earlier warning that these people are out there.
