Messages on November 5, 2003 Warning Moslems to Leave New York,
Washington, and Los Angeles for Their Safety-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor The main version of this
eRumor was circulated by an Internet prayer newsletter.
It said that messages on pro-Jihad websites told Moslems to
leave New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles and that
"the next few days" will prove the truth of the warning.
The Truth
A warning was posted by the
Jeddah-based, al Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society according to
www.debka.com.
Talon news reported that
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
An Al Qaeda website is running a warning issued to
Muslims to leave
Washington D.C., New York City and Los Angeles because of implied
imminent terrorist attacks, according to the Middle East Newsline.
Titled
"A Warning to Muslims in America," the directive says:
"Our Muslim
brothers in America, we ask you to immediately leave the following
cities: Washington, D.C., New York, and Los Angeles. . .We are serious
in
our warning," the message states. "The next few days will
prove to you
the truth of this warning. (Fox News) In pride the wicked hotly pursue
the afflicted; Let them be caught in the plots which they have
devised.(Ps. 10:2 NASB)
2. HOW YOU CAN HELP . . .
In light of the dire warning posted on the Jihadist
website, Capitol
Hill Prayer Partners would like to ask your help: many of you are
probably employed in public schools across our nation -- schools which
normally would count Islamic students among its population. Please check
your attendance records for Tuesday and Wednesday: Has the number of
absent students from Middle Eastern countries shown an increase this
week? If so, please report back to us at: chpp@patriot.net. (This is not
a formal or a technical survey; a simple response will do.) We will
tally
these results, and advise our prayer partners accordingly. All names
will
be withheld, but we would like to cite the names of the cities that are
being surveyed. THANK YOU!!
