Islamic websites hosted in Minnesota have posted a book titled: How to Join Al-Qaeda. Here are a few of the best parts:
“What is the difference between you and the hero of the New York attack, Muhammad Atta, who planned an action which even today shakes the world every time it is mentioned? Assassinating the ambassador takes no more than a gun and a bullet. One could disguise oneself as a peddler in order to tail [the target], which shouldn’t cost a lot of money…
“The cells must maintain contact among themselves, but by no means in a direct or conventional way. The contact must be spiritual: What will unite you is the love of Islam and the motto “There is no God but Allah.” Even if the contact between [your] cell and the rest is indirect, it will be close… You must meet once a month… You must not meet in the same place twice… Personal meetings with a small number of people [must take place] once a week…
“From the moment the cell is established, its members must be divided – into secret members, members who do not [act] openly and are not wanted by the authorities, and members who are wanted (who have been arrested in the past or on whom the intelligence apparatuses have a file)… The secret members must perform intelligence tasks, collect information, raise funds, recruit [new members], and assist in [actual operations]. Those who act in the open must perform the primary military operations, such as assassinations, firing at enemy facilities, etc. “
There was no mention of bake sales for the Palestinian children, or fund raisers for new hospitals in Iraq. Plenty of “DEATH TO THE INFIDELS” though. They covered that part pretty well.
