The Amir Khattab e-mail

FACTS THAT REQUIRE NO COMMENT

Several media editions have received an e-mail copy of a very strange letter. The letter is signed by ill-famed Amir Khattab who is currently fighting in Chechnya. It is so expressive that there is no need for comment.

"From now on and to the end of this world the holy banner of the Prophet Mohammad will flutter above the countries of the unbelievers, for this is his will. Scoundrelly Western crusaders, bogged down in lechery, and you, hoggish Jews, I, Khattab, Emir of the true Muslims, have ordered my Muslim brothers and sisters, the Chechens, staying in your filthy countries to annihilate you without taking any compassion on you. The Russians have felt Allah's just anger on their skins already. Now it's your turn. The flame of Jihad will burn your abominable world, the world of unbelievers, to the ground. We will blow up your houses, ships, airliners, we will be killing you right in the streets of your impious cities and towns, for the death of lecherous, loathsome unbelievers occurs in accordance with the will of Allah."

It was the text of an e-mail address from the self-proclaimed Amir of the faithful who is currently fighting in Chechnya, Khattab. No comment on that.
