200 pledge willingness to carry out suicide attacks against Americans, Israelis.

TEHRAN, Iran, (AP) – Some 200 masked young men and women gathered at a Tehran cemetery Thursday to pledge their willingness to carry out suicide bomb attacks against Americans in Iraq and Israelis.

The ceremony was organized by the Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a shadowy group that has since June been seeking volunteers for attacks in Iraq and Israel.

A spokesman, Ali Mohammadi, described Thursday’s group as the “first suicide commando unit,” though another official has claimed members already have carried out attacks in Israel.

“Sooner or later we will bury all blasphemous occupiers of Islamic lands,” Mohammadi said.

…

Thursday’s ceremony included the unveiling of two-meter (6-foot) stone column commemorating a 1983 attack on U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon as “the biggest suicide bombing operation against global blasphemy.”

Another article says this:

The group, which has no links to official organizations, in September also placed a symbolic gravestone at the cemetery for two Palestinian suicide bombers who carried out a twin bus bombing that killed 16 Israelis earlier this year.

…

The group said more than 25,000 “martyrdom seeking” volunteers have so far signed up and one of its members said the registration drive would continue.

Why do they want to kill us?  It’s not because we took (actually we purchased it) their oil.  It’s not because we attacked Iraq.  It’s not because we support the existence of Israel.  It’s because we engage in ‘global blasphemy”.  If you or I blasphemy then we deserve to die.

Typically www.boomershoot.org gets about 10 hits a day from people doing searches (such as on google) for bomb building help.  Just before the 4th of July it jumped up to about 15 or 20 per day then it went back down.  So far this month (part way through the 3rd day!) it has had 76 hits.  The hits I took the time to lookup are coming from the US, the UK, Australia, and Israel.  The one from Israel I sent to the Israeli police.  I probably should do the same for some of the others but it’s a fair amount of work to find the proper LEO contact and explain.  And at 25 or 30 a day I simply don’t have enough time to do that.  I suppose I should try to automate part of the process.  I could build up a collection of LEO contacts in various countries and have a form letter to send out.  A simple application could watch the log file and send me an email that I just have to forward on with minor tweaks for exceptions that come up such as a geographical location that I don’t have a LEO contact for yet.

On the other hand it’s not illegal in this country to ask for information on building a bomb as long as you don’t have the intent to acutally build a bomb.

Heavy sigh…
