An Al Qaeda Leader Sees the Light

Is this senior Al Qaeda theologian marking the
beginning of the end?
Senior Qaeda Theologian Urges His Followers To End Their Jihad
It almost seems too much to hope for, although it's hard to see how Al Qaeda terrorists could be pleased with events since 9/11. After being defeated in Iraq and hunted down and killed or arrested throughout the world, what have they gained? Sure, they had a victory in Spain, and they have pulled off other significant attacks (London). And, to give the devil his due, radical Islamists have intimidated weak-kneed multi-culturists in various weak-kneed countries.
Still, as the days, weeks, months, and years pass, Al Qaeda appears less and less of an immediate terrorist threat. Unless, I am wrong, and that's the rub. How do we know they aren't sneaking across the leaky border and plotting another major attack? We don't. Yet, as time passes, it seems more and more unlikely.
Now, the demographic picture is another story. Mohammed is now the second most popular boy's name in Britain. Not just London. All of Britain. Nevertheless, if the senior Al Qaeda theologian sways minds, then we might just have a little less to fear from the Muslim population explosion. Here's hoping.
