"How can I live peacefully at a time when the holy and sacred places have been violated, and the country is usurped, and the infidels are encroaching on our country and humiliating our religion?" But of course, this isn't a religious war or a clash of civilizations or anything like that. From the London Daily Telegraph:
LONDON — Abu Musab Zarqawi, the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq, has staked his claim to lead the jihad against the American presence by releasing a slickly produced video of suicide bombers and several of their attacks.The hour-long production is part political manifesto, part recruiting campaign and part propaganda to tell the United States that its intense efforts to find the Jordanian-born militant leader have been a failure.
The video released by Zarqawi's group chronicles what are supposedly the final days and hours of the suicide bombers as they prepare themselves for "martyrdom operations."
There are scenes of them praying, relaxing and reading out final statements.
"How can I live peacefully at a time when the holy and sacred places have been violated, and the country is usurped, and the infidels are encroaching on our country and humiliating our religion?" asks one purported bomber, reading his statement as armed, masked men stand behind him at night.
This is a one-legged cave rat.....Why are we having so much trouble locating and killing him?
This pig needs vanquished, eliminated from Mother Earth........It's good to see Iraqi intelligence being the ones feeding us the intel so we can go in and blast these safe houses.
The poor soul in the last paragraph: ""How can I live peacefully at a time when the holy and sacred places have been violated, and the country is usurped, and the infidels are encroaching on our country and humiliating our religion?" asks one purported bomber, reading his statement as armed, masked men stand behind him at night."
Let us compassionately tell him, "Indeed, you should not live at all, in the hell that is this world." He should dispatch himself and his friends to Paradise post haste, or be aided in this effort by us.
How nice it would be to be able to do the impossible and be there just after he dies doing Allah's dirty work. In that brief moment before completing his trip to becoming nothing, he would discover that Islamic Paradise was made up by Muhammad. It is one of the many great lies of Islam. Just once, I would love to see the look on the jihadist's face as he encounters Truth and Fact.
And so one more murder-martyr brings closure to its pathetic phobia, the un-muslim, by inflicting anarchism on the sane. To the indoctrinated mind the route to Allah is paved with the death of civility and reason.
Folks, this is what you'll get with pagan worship of meteorites, circa 536-540AD. You know, the meteor shower that triggered global starvation by crop failure. How some of those stones were seen to fall in the Arabian desert by a nomadic tribe that lived and roamed in the summer nocturne. And, how the end of rain caused the Petrans to migrate to Mecca with their stone-carvers and their alphabet. And, how the other survivors, from all over Arabia converged on its wettest locale, too. And, how the Petran witch-doctors agreed that the handful of recovered meteorites -- having dropped from the stars -- must be pieces of allah. And, how the Petrans set up shop with this new fallen icon -- fused on impact into desert rock -- providing a new powerful locus for their witch-doctor guild. And, four generations later, how mohammed – upset with 'daughter' rocks ( the smaller meteorite fragments ) -- and being a misogynist of the first water -- simplified the gods down to his math level: 1. And, how he fused despotism and theocracy to create a perpetual oppression machine. And, how in the generations that followed 'informed' scribes reworked the narrative to incorporate by supersession the imagery and parables of Judaism and Christianity. And, how this was matched by architectural superposition and cultural expungement. And, how with each population surge the ummah goes ‘locust’ and pathologically metastasises into hyperactive expansion. And, how the rationale is always the ‘victimization’ of the ummah – particularly those advance, minority elements in adjacent lands that are unable to enjoy shariah – which, naturally, must elevate muslims over the host. And, how – like any infection – the growth of the ummah is its focus of being. Conquest and oppression is Islam – which as a word is rooted in the Arab battle cry submit or die. ( Its that kind of submission.)
How can you be humiliated jihadi
when it is only lowly kufur who attack you?
Are you not the best of all peoples?
Is satan on your tail?
and what tale does he tell?
Do you feel abandoned by your moon god,
forgotten by allah
and the other fellah of hate
you secretely worship and emulate?
Are you worried about the terrors of hell
that await you for the evils you have done
in the name of the most holy ONE?
Testing...
Poetess, you still rock!

Is there a place in Iraq that ISN'T a holy site?
Tigger~ about 99.99998% of the country, actually. The only reason we hear so much about it is that the murderes USE the mosques to hide themselves. Knowing full well the left-leaning media is watching Our troops, not the jihadists.
To expound on that last point from Gary: I clearly recall hearing an interview with a Lt. from the Marines wherein he said the interference and hawkishness from and of media both American and foreign in Iraq was definitely a hinderance and a danger to all U.S. military personnel.
I'm sure this has cost us more lives, just like the CBS 60 Minutes broadcast of the Abu Ghraib photos resulted in the beheadings of at least 3 people as "payback".
If the fanatics spend all of their time, effort and followers for that matter blowing up fellow Muslims like they are doing now in Iraq.....let them do it! Will save us more bullets and bombs.
That is the ingenious aspect of the Iraqi occupation. It has directed the world class Islamic terrorist organisations in murderous operations against fellow Muslims.
Nostrodamus
Nostrodamus,
I'm sure this war was predicted by your namesake-something about "a great terror will come from the east and mars (which meant war) rules happily before and after."It's a long time since I read the quatrains so correct me if I'm wrong!!!
