Rubin: Confessions At a Funeral

Barry Rubin discusses some of the revelations of the funeral of Imad Mugniyah:

A funny thing happened at the funeral of Imad Mugniyah. Those who had for years been denying any connection with him and his international terrorist activities--Iran, Syria, and Hizballah--suddenly admitted that he was one of their favorite people.

At the same time, other critical points came out. Mugniyah's critical position as the link between those three allies, in their conduct of terrorism and subversion, stood out clearly. In addition, Mugniyah's career as an international terrorist, who often operated against Western targets, showed how Hizballah--along with its backers in Tehran and Damascus--were second only to al-Qaida in their global operations of violence.

[...]

When Iran, Syria, and Hizballah embrace such a person as a great hero and role model they are:

* Openly admitting their association with many past acts of terrorism.
* Making clear that they favor murderous attacks deliberately designed to kill civilians.
* Showing their past denials of involvement to be lies.
* Urging people to commit many more such attacks in future, include genocide against Israel and its people.

Now that Hizballah, Iran, and Syria have "taken credit" for Mugniyah's past killings and urged many more in the future, the world should confront the fact that these groups are engaged in a systematic terrorist policy and react accordingly.

When will we ever take our enemies at their word, that they are our mortal enemies, and that they are at war with us! THEY OFFER NO QUARTER.

Counting "coup" is an important part of the jihad.

Generally speaking, I am not in favor of killing people. But in this case, who ever did it got the right guy. I would have preferred capture, and a fun day at the water park. A lot of excellent information died with him.

I thought Islam was opposed to hero worship?
Only Allah is supposed to be worshiped. I know they will try and taqiyya their way out of that charge by calling it something else, but it looks like hero worship to me. They don't even give Mohammad that much hero worship, and he is supposed to be perfect.
Is it a lower form of shirk to put another 'man' on the same level as Mohammad? The next thing you know they will be calling him the Prophet Mugniyah.
I'm glad that this hero worship has been exposed, and Iran, Syria, and Hizballah, seen in the light as hypocrite's...

I believe more may also be coming out about Mugniyah's involvement in the formation of the Mahdi army in Iraq. This would explain quite a bit about the direct Syrian and Iranian involvement in the insurrection, and especially the fact that Syria has willingly served as a major transit route for Jihad fighters into Iraq.

Just islam at work. How many times do we hear how islam cannot be linked to terrorism? That is because it's not terrorism to moslems, it is "justifiable warfare." They follow the perfect man, Mohammad.
Lying is not wrong in warfare. How long till our leaders finally get it?

Jihadists of a feather flock together (even at funerals).

So Islam isn't related to terrorism?? Hmm.

If not, then someone PLEASE explain the Kuranic passage wherein al-lah tells Muhammad: "I have been made victorious through terror."

Oops! Islam's dirty little secret is out. Now lets see how hard the MSM will try to keep this story quiet.

It is time to take decisive action.

Cowards Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II let Iran get away with waging a totally one-sided war on American diplomats, military and civilians for 29 years now.
Trampling on Serbia is the only thing our "leaders" are good for.

I've heard rumours that John Pilger is not planning to make a film about Iran, Syria and Hizballah pouring praise on Imad Mugniyah at the burying of his body parts. Why aren't you, John? Why?

Birds of a Feather flock together. Thats why Buckshot was developed.
