Oil Jihad
This is from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies:
FDD's Walid Phares argues that that while both Washington and Wall Street are culpable for the financial meltdown, there may be a third player in the game: circles inside OPEC who seek to weaken America's ability to fight a war against Islamist terrorist regimes and movements, as well as to prevent America from achieving energy independence. Dr. Phares notes:
Sheikh Yussuf al Qardawi, Muslim Brotherhood ideologue and mentor of the Qatari-funded channel, spoke openly of Silah al Naft, i.e, "the weapon of oil." Indeed, it was called a weapon — as in a warfare situation — and most likely it was used as such. Of course, the producing "regimes" will deny the existence of a real strategy to bring the US to its knees by striking at its pumps. They will dismiss statements made by emirs and commentators in this regard. The "field Jihadists", however, won't deny the existence of such a battlefield.
For years now, Salafist web sites and al Qaeda spokespersons have loudly called for an "oil Jihad against infidel America and its lackeys." Online material is still circulating. But more revealing are the official speeches by Osama Bin Laden and his deputy on the "absolute necessity to use that weapon."
