Bombing Recounted at Professor's Trial

The Rumpled Academic again confronts the fruit of his labors. Al-Arian update from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:

TAMPA, Fla. -- A witness to a double suicide bombing in Israel described pools of blood and raining body parts Monday at the trial of a former college professor accused of helping the Palestinian group that staged the attack.

Yuval Avargil, an Israeli police officer who witnessed the Jan. 22, 1995 attack that killed 22 people at Beit Lid, said he saw twisted bodies lying in puddles of blood and saw body parts fall from the sky.

"I opened my eyes, I heard something rolling near me, I saw a head of a soldier with his eyes open on the side," he said.

Sami Al-Arian, who taught at the University of South Florida, and three other defendants on trial are accused of raising money and supporting Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group blamed for more than 100 deaths in Israel, including those in Beit Lid.

An FBI agent testified last week that, less than three weeks after the Beit Lid bombing, Al-Arian referred to it in a letter to a Kuwaiti legislator as "the latest operation, carried out by the two mujahideen (holy warriors) who were martyred for the sake of God." Prosecutors say the letter sought money for the families of the suicide bombers.

If this man and his cohorts get off, there is no justice. He is a monster in academic clothing.

life would be so much easier if EVERYONE understood 3 little words;

jihad, taqqiyah, dhimmi

once you clear the multiculti fog, the moral equivalence smog, and the PC smoke and mirrors, it all becomes rather "in your stinking infidel face", don't you think?

you know, i think taqqiyah is far more dangerous than jihad at the moment. it's a little tough to explain away a soldiers severed head rolling by you, but the gift of bullsh!t, depending as it does on words being tattooed into uncritical minds, is far more insidious, and given the alternate reality of the left, finds fertile ground indeed when it lands.

Yes, many cannot hear the rumble of jihad because their ears are full of the lullaby of taqqiyah.
