McDonough said Muslim Americans are not the problem, but part of the solution.
Rep Keith Ellison Minnesota Democrat says,
"it is wrong to single out a religion."
"We're concerned about the breadth of this," Ellison said on CNN Sunday. "To say we're going to investigate ... a religious minority, and a particular one, I think is the wrong course of action to take."
Uh, Who is singling out a Religion ?
I hear that these hearings are about Radical Islamists ! Not about Islam in general, just a small portion of Islam that a bunch of idiots are taking to the Extreme, which is dangerous no matter what.
Mr Ellison seems to not understand that Radical Homegrown Islamists, Uh, come from Islam not the Catholic Church, not the local synagogue
Maybe when Muslims quit crying about their precious religion, and start standing up And speaking out against the Radicals that unfortunately come from within their religion, things will be a little different.
Denial is a terrible thing, when it comes to terrorism it is deadly.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — With tensions rising in the debate about terrorism and radicalization within the Islamic community, the White House is trying to lay the groundwork for tolerance, cooperation and a universal "American" desire to thwart violent extremism, regardless of religious beliefs.
President Barack Obama sent his deputy national security adviser, Denis McDonough, on Sunday to a Washington-area mosque known for its cooperation with the FBI and its rejection of the al-Qaida brand of Islam.
The timing of the speech was significant, coming just four days before a controversial congressional hearing on Islamic radicalization. Speaking to an interfaith forum of Muslims, Christians, Jews and other faiths, the president's point-man on countering violent extremism was clear: "We're all Americans."
The majority of the recent terror plots and attempts against the U.S. have involved people espousing a radical and violent view of Islam, making it difficult to ignore the role religion plays in this particular threat. But focusing too closely on Islam and the religious motives of these attempted terror attacks also threatens to alienate an entire community that has nothing to do with these violent beliefs.

Americans slain by captors on hijacked yacht
Somalia Should be shelled repeatedly until all 600 plus hostages are released, it is about time the world stand up to the scourge of the land that is Islam and quit being such a pussy about things.
It is a shame these people were killed, it is a shame and a fact that more people will be killed, if nothing is ultimately done about Radical Islam, the War that is starting to pop in Muslim Countries will spill over into non-Muslim countries.
And we all will be held Hostage !
(CNN) -- A round-the-world boating adventure ended tragically Tuesday for four Americans, whom pirates fatally shot after capturing their yacht in the Indian Ocean last week, U.S. officials said.
The 58-foot vessel, named the Quest, was being shadowed by the military after pirates took the ship off the coast of Oman on Friday. Officials had said earlier Tuesday it was less than two days from the Somali coast.
Ship owners Jean and Scott Adam and Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle were found shot after U.S. forces boarded the vessel about 1 a.m. ET, officials said.
The forces responded after a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at a U.S. Navy ship about 600 yards away -- and missed -- and the sound of gunfire could be heard on board the Quest, U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Mark Fox told reporters.
"Despite immediate steps to provide life-saving care, all four hostages ultimately died of their wounds," U.S. Central Command said.

Bomb Kills 5 at Sufi Shrine in Pakistan
Tolerable Terrorism = Muslims Killing Muslims.
This is the only kind of terrorism I will tolerate, the kind where Islamic radical nutjobs go out and kill their own people .
It sucks for the Innocent people, But then, maybe Islam is just a murderous death Cult and that is just how it is.
Keep this crap to yourselves over there will ya !
Foxnews
MULTAN, Pakistan -- A bomb planted on a motorcycle exploded at the gate of a famous Sufi shrine in central Pakistan during morning prayers Monday, killing at least five people, officials said.
The blast at the Farid Shakar Ganj shrine in Punjab province was the latest in a string of attacks targeting Sufi shrines in Pakistan. Islamist militants often target Sufis, whose mystical practices clash with their hardline interpretation of Islam.

Little Bastards are everywhere .
Al Jazeera
French police have arrested 12 people in two separate counterterrorism raids, amid a state of high alert for attacks in the country.
Nine people arrested in Marseille, the southern port city, on Tuesday morning were being investigated for suspected links to a "terrorist enterprise", police said.
Weapons including a Kalashnikov rifle, a pump action shotgun and ammunition were also seized in the raid, an official was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying.
Another three men were arrested in Marseille and Bordeaux, in France's southwest, on alleged ties to a group recruiting fighters for Afghanistan.
The trio were linked to Ryad Hannouni, a Frenchman arrested in the Italian city of Naples last weekend and suspected of being connected to al-Qaeda fighters, police said.

'Somalia link' as World Cup fans die in Uganda blasts
"Uganda is one of our enemies. Whatever makes them cry, makes us happy. May Allah's anger be upon those who are against us."
Sheik Yusuf Sheik Issa
Everyday there is an incident of Muslim Killing Muslim violence , usually the Taliban or in this case Al Shabaab who is in alliance with Al Qaida .
But there is still not enough outcry from the Muslim World , to make a stand against the people committing these acts of Violence .
BBC
The blasts went off as people were watching the World Cup final
At least 64 people have died in two blasts in the Ugandan capital, Kampala.
Some 70 others were injured by the explosions, which hit a rugby club and an Ethiopian restaurant as football fans watched the World Cup final.
Police were investigating whether the blasts were suicide bombings, and blamed Somalia's al-Shabab militants.
Ugandan peacekeepers operate in Mogadishu, Somalia, and al-Shabab - linked to al-Qaeda - has threatened to hit Kampala in the past.

Yemen arrests al-Qaeda suspects
Al Qaida at one time seemed to be the little darlings of Yemen , they were supposedly building a large network of jihadis ready to pounce at any moment .
Now , they seem to be having a hard time just getting by , once one is arrested , their "Buddies" are right behind them !
Al Jazeera
Yemen has arrested eight suspected al-Qaeda fighters, including a Saudi fugitive, accused of plotting attacks on security installations in Yemen, the defence ministry has said.
Sunday's arrests came days after two suspected members of the same al-Qaeda cell were detained after a raid on a house in Hadramout province that sparked clashes in which three soldiers were killed.
"Two al-Qaeda elements were arrested during a raid on a house where cell members were hiding, and eight others were caught in the following days," the ministry said on its website.
A security official said the group arrested in Hadramout, east of the capital Sanaa, was accused of plotting attacks on security and other vital installations in the eastern province, but did not identify specific targets.
The defence ministry identified the Saudi who was arrested as Abdullah Faraj Mohamed Mahmoud al-Jawbar, who is on a list of 85 Saudis wanted by Riyadh.

East African leaders urge UN to provide Somalia force
And again the U.N. is powerless to do anything here , mainly because they will never be able to get a "coalition" of countries to send troops into Somalia .
Why should anyone bother , when the U.N and the Somali Government are not willing to take the actions necessary to stop the Violence ?
That is Kill And eradicate Al Qaida and Al Shabaab !
BBC
East African leaders have renewed their calls to the UN to replace the beleaguered African Union (AU) peacekeeping mission in Somalia.
At a meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Somalia's president said a radical strategy to end almost two decades of crisis in the country was needed.
The leaders of the regional grouping Igad also agreed to deploy 2,000 more AU peacekeepers to help the government.
AU troops have been battling Islamists who control most of southern Somalia.
The UN-backed government only runs a few parts of the capital, Mogadishu.
Fighting continued in Mogadishu while the summit was being held, with at least five people killed when militants attacked government positions in the north of the city, officials say.

'How to Make Bomb in Kitchen of Mom' Featured in Al Qaeda's 1st English Magazine
Al qaida , spreading their wings a little ,now have an English website , they want to help the English speaking Jihadi rejects to learn how to make a Bomb in their Moms Kitchen !
Their website sucks , Apparently , only 3 of the 67 pages will load properly , but that is not the funniest part of this , the fact that they are telling the little Bitches that wannabe part of the global Jihad how to Build a BOMB IN THEIR MOM'S KITCHEN !
It really shows you how Pathetic they are !
Foxnews
Al Qaeda's first English-language propaganda magazine, designed to encourage would-be terrorists into acts of violence, suffered an inauspicious launch -- with only the first three of the 67 pages legible due to an apparent computer glitch on Thursday.
The online publication, apparently aimed at British and American readers, includes features such as "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."
Until now, Al Qaeda has relied on Arabic websites to carry its message, but Bruce Riedel, a Brookings Institution scholar and former CIA officer, said the new magazine was intended to build on recent success in the radicalization of Western citizens.
“[It] is clearly intended for the aspiring jihadist in the U.S. or U.K. who may be the next Fort Hood murderer or Times Square bomber,” he said. “The trend we’ve seen in the last year and a half is less global terrorism and much more homegrown domestic terrorism within Muslim communities.”...
The first edition of the magazine, published by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, includes an article by Awlaki entitled ‘May our souls be sacrificed for you’, as well as “a detailed yet short, easy-to-read manual on how to make a bomb using ingredients found in a kitchen."
It also contains part one of a treatise on ‘What to expect in Jihad’ and translated messages from Usama Bin Laden on “how to save the earth,” and his second in command

Shahzad Admits Trying to Bomb Times Square
Mr. Shahzad, 30 years old, told the courtroom he would plead guilty "100 times over" until the U.S. pulls its troops from Afghanistan and Pakistan and stops unmanned drone strikes against terror suspects. "I am part of the answer to the U.S. terrorizing the Muslim nations and the Muslim people, and on behalf of that, I'm avenging the attacks," Mr. Shahzad said.
Oh Goody , We have to look forward to more of these Wannabe Turd Farming Taliban Rejects ,Screwing up their Car Bombing attempts throughout the United States .
I mean , luckily this Jackass was unsuccessful in his attempt , but if he thinks His Failed attempt is the Muzzys "Answer" to the U.S. Blowing the Shit out of the Taliban with Hellfire Missiles , He truly is a Moron .
The Wall Street Journal
A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen, calling himself "a Muslim soldier" avenging U.S. attacks in Muslim countries, admitted Monday that he tried to detonate a crudely made car bomb in New York's Times Square in May.
Faisal Shahzad, of Shelton, Conn., pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan to a 10-count indictment that included charges of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting an act of terrorism and transportation of an explosive. He faces life in prison when he is sentenced.
And Guaranteed , He will get it !

U.S. missile strike kills 12 in northwestern Pakistan
Awesome !
Predator Drones firing Hellfire Missiles , never gets old .
Pakistan (Reuters) - A U.S. drone aircraft fired two missiles in Pakistan's North Waziristan region on the Afghan border on Saturday, killing 12 militants, intelligence officials said .
The missile attack took place hours after the U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, landed in Islamabad for talks as part of the Pakistan-U.S. strategic dialogue initiated in March.
The drone targeted a suspected militant compound in Sokhel village, about 25 km (16 miles) east of Miranshah, the main town of the region and known as a hotbed of Taliban and al Qaeda militants, the intelligence officials said.
"Twelve militants have been killed and three wounded in the attack on a compound which is linked to Taliban and al Qaeda," one intelligence official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
A second intelligence official confirmed the account. A resident, Mohammad Rafiq, told Reuters he had seen 11 bodies.

Surge for Dutch anti-Islam Freedom Party
It is Probably a safe bet that Muslims within the netherlands Will soon be facing a lot more Bans than they ever have .
Mr Wilders has campaigned to stop the "Islamisation of the Netherlands".
He wants the Koran banned, and has suggested a tax on headscarves worn by Muslim women.
BBC
A Dutch anti-Islam party has more than doubled its seats in parliament in a national vote, though it is unclear if it will take part in a coalition.
Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders said he wanted to be part of government.
The election saw the centre-right Liberal Party (VVD) emerging as the largest party, one seat ahead of the centre-left Labour Party.
The Christian Democrat party of outgoing Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende suffered a big defeat.
Weeks of coalition negotiations are expected to follow the election.
With more than 99% of votes counted, the VVD had 31 of 150 seats, while Labour had 30.
As the party with the most seats, VVD leader Mark Rutte could now become the first prime minister from his political camp since World War I.
Headscarf tax
The unexpected big winner was the anti-Islam Freedom Party, the PVV, which took its number of seats from nine in the last parliament to 24 - its best-ever finish.
The campaign had been dominated by a debate over the economy, which was thought to have eclipsed immigration as an election issue.
Many would not view the Freedom Party as an acceptable partner in a coalition.
Its leader, Geert Wilders, faces a criminal trial later this year on charges of inciting hatred and discrimination with his anti-Islamic film Fitna.
It is expected that the most likely coalition would be a left-right combination, known as a Purple Coalition - with the Liberals, Labour, and the smaller Green Left and Liberal Democrats.
But coalition talks can take weeks.
But the strong showing for the Freedom Party, led by the controversial Geert Wilders, is a sign that immigration was still a powerful theme, correspondents say.
Mr Wilders has campaigned to stop the "Islamisation of the Netherlands".

US says 12 Americans in custody in Yemen; hints at link to anti-terror campaign
Man , What is with the Yemeni , American connection here ?
I would have to imagine , in light of these recent "Un-coverings" of Americans associated with AL Qaida , in Yemen , It is a Bitch to get through Airport Security from now on , when your Passport has Yemen Stamped on it !
Foxnews
WASHINGTON (AP) — Yemeni authorities have 12 Americans in custody, and the arrests may be linked to a joint U.S.-Yemeni anti-terror campaign, a State Department spokesman said Monday.
The spokesman, P.J. Crowley, declined to provide details about the case, except to say the State Department is aware of the arrests and is seeking more information about the individuals being held.
Last Wednesday, Yemeni security officials said authorities had detained several foreigners, including Americans, Britons and an Australian woman, in connection with an investigation into al-Qaida's increased activity in the country.
The arrests reported last week were made after foreign intelligence agencies provided lists of names of people they wanted to have detained or put under surveillance, according to two Yemeni security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not permitted to brief journalists.
It was not immediately clear whether the 12 Americans cited by Crowley were among those reported to have been rounded up last week, but Crowley suggested there may be an anti-terrorism connection.

Russia says terrorists seeking nuclear materials
I've heard this before , It really sounds like if you have enough money or actually work at a Russian Nuclear facility , you can walk away with whatever you Want !
The end result of Russian failure , Nuclear Jihad !
(Reuters) - The chief of Russia's state security service said on Wednesday that terrorists were seeking access to nuclear materials across the former Soviet Union, Russian news agencies reported.
Alexander Bortnikov, the chief of the FSB, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, gave no further details about the attempts or which groups had sought the materials.
"We have information which indicates that terrorists are continuing to attempt to get access to nuclear materials (and) biological and chemical components," he was quoted as saying by Interfax and Itar-Tass.
"We are paying constant attention to this issue," Bortnikov said, referring to concerns that terrorists could get their hands on nuclear materials.
Nuclear experts say there is no sign that terrorists have acquired weapons-grade nuclear material but there have been at least 18 documented cases of theft or loss of plutonium or highly enriched uranium, several in the ex-Soviet Union.
Despite major, heavily U.S.-funded security improvements at Russian facilities containing nuclear materials since the 1991 Soviet collapse, experts say the risk of theft remains.
Among concerns are the potential for theft by insiders -- particularly in a country plagued by corruption -- as well as imperfect accounting for the materials and inexperienced guards, according to Harvard University nuclear expert Matthew Bunn.

Details emerge of Pakistani Taliban's alleged role in Times Square bombing
So for a mere fifteen thousand dollars this Pakistani Taliban wannabe little bitch was willing to Kill who knows how many American's .
I say some serious Hellfire Missile Barrage's should be delivered to the Mohmand region of Pakistan in honor of Faisal Shazad's Little Jihad attempt !
The L.A. Times
Reporting from Washington
The main suspect in the attempted Times Square bombing received several days of training in Pakistan's Mohmand region and roughly $15,000 from the Pakistani Taliban to finance the attack, according to U.S. officials briefed on the case.
It appears likely that Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani American accused of leaving a Nissan Pathfinder loaded with fertilizer and propane tanks in Times Square, came up with the idea of the car bomb himself, one official said. Shahzad then apparently persuaded the militant group to give him assistance when he traveled to Pakistan's border region in 2009 or early 2010.
"The targeting part of it was his," said one official briefed on the case, speaking on condition of anonymity. "But the guy was convincing enough to get resources."
The findings are part of a growing body of evidence that the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehrik-e-Taliban, was deeply involved in the attempted bombing, the officials said, though they concede that key questions remain unanswered.
Investigators are still attempting to determine what role senior Pakistani Taliban leaders played in the operation.

WASHINGTON – Al Qaeda operatives who have been detained for years in Iran have been making their way quietly in and out of the country, raising the prospect that Iran is loosening its grip on the terror group so it can replenish its ranks, former and current U.S. intelligence officials say.
This movement could indicate that Iran is re-examining its murky relationship with Al Qaeda at a time when the U.S. is stepping up drone attacks in Pakistan and weakening the group's leadership. Any influx of manpower could hand Al Qaeda a boost in morale and expertise and threaten to disrupt stability in the region.
U.S. officials say intelligence points to a worrisome increase in movement lately.
Details about Al Qaeda's movements and U.S. efforts to monitor them were outlined to The Associated Press in more than a dozen interviews with current and former intelligence and counterterrorism officials, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
The relationship between Iran and Al Qaeda has been shrouded in mystery since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, when many Al Qaeda leaders fled into Iran and were arrested. The Shiite regime there is generally hostile to the Sunni terrorist group, but they have an occasional relationship of convenience based on their shared enemy, the U.S.
U.S. intelligence officials have tried wiretapping and satellite imagery to watch the men. The CIA even established a highly classified program — code-named RIGOR — to study whether it could track and kill terrorists such as Al Qaeda in Iran. Results have been mixed. Monitoring and understanding al-Qaida in Iran remains one of the most difficult jobs in U.S. intelligence.
"This has been a dark, a black zone for us," former CIA officer Bruce Riedel said. "What exactly is the level of al-Qaida activity in Iran has always been a mystery."

US drone attack kills 14 militants in North Waziristan
US drones fired a barrage of 12 missiles
A Barrage !
it sounds so nice !
Dawn.com
MIRANSHAH: US drones fired a barrage of 12 missiles, destroying a training camp for extremist fighters in Pakistan's tribal belt and killing 14 militants on Tuesday, security officials said.
It was the second strike in the same mountainous area close to the Afghan border since Sunday, when the United States accused the Pakistani Taliban of being behind a plot to detonate a car bomb in Times Square 10 days ago, reports AFP.
The training camp was run by militants attached to Taliban-linked Afghan warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who is reputed to control up to 2,000 fighters who attack US-led forces over the border in Afghanistan, officials said.
The compound was in the Lowara Mandi area of North Waziristan district, seen as a fortress of Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal badlands.
“According to the latest reports we have, a total of 14 militants were killed. They targeted a compound and vehicles parked outside the house,” one senior Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Yemen arrests dozens of al Qaeda suspects
Remember This ?
The seven men, as well as the bomber, had all been arrested for suspected al Qaeda ties following the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. targets, but were released after two years in prison, according to the officials.
And if Yemen would have had the Balls back then to just kill them or put them away for life they would not be dealing with these Douchbags Again !
But there you go , This is what happens , And if it does not 100% make the Case for just killing these guys when they are caught , Nothing will !
(Reuters) - Yemeni police arrested dozens of al Qaeda suspects in sweeps a day after a suicide bomber tried to kill Britain's ambassador to Yemen, security officials said Tuesday.
At the 22-year-old bomber's home near Sanaa, his father told Reuters that he condemned his son's actions and that he had tried to get him to marry and find a job, before the young man went missing around six weeks ago.
Othman Ali al-Sulwi, who wore an explosive belt when he threw himself at a convoy taking Ambassador Tim Torlot to work Monday, had spent two years in prison before being released at the start of this year, his father said.
"I deplore and condemn this act in all its forms," the father said, adding that he had reported his son's disappearance to the authorities, who began a search for him.
Sulwi's attack "bore the hallmarks of al Qaeda," Yemen's interior ministry said Monday.
Among those taken into custody, the officials said, were seven Yemenis who had close relations with Sulwi.
The seven men, as well as the bomber, had all been arrested for suspected al Qaeda ties following the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. targets, but were released after two years in prison, according to the officials.
Yemen has been battling al Qaeda and other militant groups eroding its stability for years. The group's regional wing, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is based in Yemen and has previously threatened and attacked embassies.
It has carried out a number of attacks on international targets, including the bombing in 2000 of the USS Cole in Aden harbor, which killed 17 sailors.
Last August, it sent a suicide bomber posing as a repentant militant to Saudi Arabia, where he narrowly failed to kill the kingdom's anti-terrorism chief, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.
Nayef was not seriously hurt in the attack.

Bombs kill 64 in Iraq after al Qaeda deaths
"Why do they always target us? We are peaceful people. We come to pray and then go on our way,"
It is because They are Al Qaida !
They care less about their Own people , and more about their cause , so much that it Does not matter how many Innocent Muslims they kill !
The sooner you Dipshits realize it , The sooner you can get to eliminating them instead of protecting them !
(Reuters) - A series of bombs targeting Shi'ite areas rocked Baghdad Friday, killing at least 56 people in an apparent backlash after Iraq touted a series of blows against a weakened al Qaeda-led insurgency.
Eight people were also killed by bombs in the Sunni west of the country, less than a week after Iraqi security forces backed by U.S. troops killed al Qaeda's top two leaders in Iraq.
Thirteen blasts hit different areas of the Iraqi capital around the time of Muslim prayers, mostly near Shi'ite mosques and at a marketplace, an Interior Ministry source said.
Three bombs targeted worshippers outside the main office of fiery anti-American Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr in the crowded Sadr City slum. Those blasts killed 39 people and wounded 56, generating denunciations of the security forces. Some youths threw stones at an Iraqi army vehicle.
"Why do they always target us? We are peaceful people. We come to pray and then go on our way," one survivor told Reuters Television in an angry tirade, without identifying himself.
The attacks, one of Iraq's deadliest in recent weeks, also wounded around 120 people and signaled the possibility of a rise in violence after a March national election produced no clear winner and left a power vacuum for insurgents to exploit.
"Targeting prayers in areas with a certain majority," Baghdad security spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said, referring to Iraq's Shi'ite Muslim majority, "is a revenge for the losses suffered by al Qaeda.
"We expect such terrorist acts to continue."
And until you Kill them All , They will !

'South Park' Creators Could Face Retribution for Depicting Muhammad, Website Warns
Very Funny !
Hats of to Matt and Trey , a couple of the funniest guys in the world !
Nothing like Muslims getting pissed over a Cartoon , I did not see this South Park Episode , Did they actually show Mohamhead getting in or out of the Bear suit ?
Was he in it the whole time ? Was it just insinuated that it was Mohamhead ?
If Islamic douchbags take out Matt and Trey , I think Satan comes to rule the world !
It's Aboot liberty , It's Aboot Freedom of Speech ! Dumbass's !
Foxnews
A radical Islamic website is warning the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode broadcast on Comedy Central last week.
RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "South Park," which included a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad disguised in a bear suit. The Web posting also included a graphic photo of Theo van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered in 2004 after making a documentary on violence against Muslim women.
"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show," the posting reads. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."
Reaching by phone early Tuesday, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, said he wrote the entry to "raise awareness." He said the grisly photograph of van Gogh was meant to "explain the severity" of what Parker and Stone did by mocking Muhammad.
"It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome," al Amrikee said, referring to the possibility that Parker and Stone could be murdered for mocking Muhammad. "They're going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It's just the reality."
Al Amrikee said the website is considering a protest against the "disgusting" show, which also depicted the Prophet Muhammad in an episode on July 4, 2001.
"This is not a small thing," he said. "We should do whatever we can to make sure it does not happen again."

Third high-ranking al-Qaeda in Iraq leader killed
A third Top Al Qaida nitwit Bites the Dust .
USA Today
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi and U.S. troops killed a regional leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq in an early morning raid Tuesday, as security forces continue to put pressure on the terrorist organization following the reported deaths of its two top-ranking figures over the weekend, officials said.
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri were killed in a joint operation Sunday in what Vice President Joe Biden called a "potentially devastating blow" to al-Qaeda in Iraq.
The intelligence that led to the elusive leaders' desert safehouse about six miles southwest of Tikrit came from the same source — a senior al-Qaeda operative captured last month — that produced the information leading to Tuesday's raid, according to a senior Iraqi military intelligence officer who supervised both operations.
Building on information provided by the captured al-Qaeda agent, Iraqi intelligence services were able to track down all three of the men, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the clandestine nature of his job.
The killing of the al-Qaeda figures comes at a critical moment for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has staked his reputation on being the man who can restore stability to Iraq after years of bloodshed. His coalition came in second in March's national election, but neither he nor his main rival have been able to muster enough support to form a new government.
