Moonlight Graham Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Hmm, doesn't look like they are quite on schedule. Here's the 7 phases of al-Qaeda's master plan of world domination as outlined by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and others in al-Qaeda in 2005 that some may remember: Phase one is the "awakening" in the consciousness of Muslims worldwide following the September 11, 2001, suicide attacks. The aim of the attacks was to provoke the US into declaring war on the Islamic world and thereby mobilising the radicals.Phase two is "Opening Eyes", the period we are now in and which should last until 2006. Hussein says the terrorists hope to make the "Western conspiracy" aware of the "Islamic community" as al-Qaeda continues to mould its secret battalions ready for battle. Phase three, "Arising and Standing Up", should last from 2007 to 2010, with increasingly frequent attacks against secular Turkey and arch-enemy Israel. Phase four, between 2010 and 2013, will see the downfall of hated Arab regimes, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Oil suppliers will be attacked and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism. Phase five will be the point at which an Islamic state, or caliphate, can be declared — between 2013 and 2016. Phase six, from 2016 on, will be a period of "total confrontation". As soon as the caliphate has been declared, the "Islamic army" will instigate the "fight between the believers and the non-believers" that has so often been predicted by al-Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden. Phase seven, the final stage, is described as "definitive victory". Hussein writes that in the terrorists' eyes, because the rest of the world will be so beaten down by the "One-and-a-half billion Muslims", the caliphate will undoubtedly succeed. This phase should be completed by 2020, although the war should not last longer than two years. My sarcastic analysis: Ok well phase 1 & 2 went well, but they probably figured out the plan after the fact and corrected some details so only half point go to al-Qaeda on these. Phase 3, well, not sure really. We are now in Phase 4, meaning we should see the Saudi gov't fall by 2013...sure. By 2016 pan-Islamic super-state will be formed in the middle east. Hmm better hurry it up on that one. By 2020 the Muslim world will have completed destroyed or converted all non-Muslim countries. AHAHAHAAA!!!! Hmm for a group reknowned for its patience in planning/executing attacks they seem a little over-ambitious in their timeline.

Probably just a pie in the sky "feel-good" goal to keep stupid followers focused. Sorta like "winning the war on terror". Im thinking their leaders might have learned politics from the same people that ours did! Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
bloodyminded Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Probably just a pie in the sky "feel-good" goal to keep stupid followers focused. Sorta like "winning the war on terror". Im thinking their leaders might have learned politics from the same people that ours did! It would appear so, at least for those who unaccountably admire "thinkers" like Mark Steyn. He predicted that Syria and Saudi Arabia would be pro-Western democracies (as opposed to pro-Western tyrannies, I guess) by....2010! And that Iraq, thanks to the War of Liberation (as he calls it) would be a tourist trap by....2004! Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings
