Pakistan: al-Qaeda behind Marriott attack

The natural order for all things Islamic.

Blaming Al Qaeda or any group, known or unknown, is simply a way of dodging the real issue which is that the ideology which spawns these groups is Islam. No one wants to face that because, if that is truly the case, people would have to deal with it.

The govenment knows it was Al-Qaeda that sponsored the attack...probably because the government issued the order...

I still say the scheduled meeting at the Marriot was a set up...see the sudden no-show of the Pakistanian officials...

Pakistan is looking more and more like a co-conspirator and less and less like a "trusted ally".

The Pakistani government did it. Every Muslim who was supposed to work that day was called and told not to go to work.

Hundreds of Pakistani Muslims failed to report for their shift...

If you look closely at the flames, you can see that an accelerant was used to enhance the attack...

Sound familiar?

"Pakistan: al-Qaeda behind Marriott attack"

Oh, you mean Muslims and Islam. I got ya.

So what was the purpose of bombing the Marriott Hotel? To many non Muslims staying there? A symbol of Western and American capitalism just as the hotel that was bombed in Jordan?

Pakistan needs to make a choice on the war on terrorism, the Wasirstan area of Pakistan has way to long harbored and is apparently protecting Al Qaeda operatives from any incursion of American and coalition troops. The threatening fire or actual fire from Pakistani troops on American copters may speak volumes, or does it really? Could it be a charade to demonstrate to the cancerous growth that is Al Qaeda in these mountains that Pakistani troops are trying to fight off any American incursion?

President Bush needs some kind of faux pax by Al Qaeda to climax his Presidency and the golden ring is to get Bin laden if he is still alive in these rugged mountains as well as his lieutenants. Even then; would it bring to and end the reigning terror of Al Qaeda? The answer is of course no. The jihad ideology and numerous terrorist groups have been continuously perpetuated in the Islamic umma long before Osama Bin Laden really made his mark.

Is it me or are there more terrorists incidents during the holy time of Ramadhan?

Wow, Pakistan. You really learn fast. Al Qeada, huh?

Now, what are you going to do about it? Shoot down some more American helicopters? Wake up Pakistan. Figure out who your friends are, before its too late........

Raymond:

Many thanks for the USA Today link. We must never forget what those foul vermin subjected us to that day.

I used to think that KSA was the epitome of muslim depravity and the Palestinians were the most barbaric, subhumans on the planet, but at least the Saudis don't deliberately destroy their own infrastructure and revel in reducing their country to a smoldering war zone. Pakistan truly is a desolate islamic hellhole on the brink of total anarchy and self-destruction.

These feral Pakistani beasts equate destruction with progress and they have nukes. Imagine the possibilities.

Bush at the UN continues to wail about the "great religion" and a "few" extremists. What a dastardly tool!

Thanks Raymond for reminding us of that day. If we forget there is always something about once a week (such as the Marriott jumpers) to 'help' us remember this Religion of Peace.

Never forget their AGONY (these 'Little Eichmanns as Ward Churchill called them).

As every year the media drones on and on about the 'tragedy' of that day I noticed something in the article you linked.

"The manner of death for all those who died was listed as homicide on death certificates." NOT a tragedy. It was 3,0000 MURDERS.

Homicide
Homicide
Homicide
Homicide
Homicide
Homicide
Homicide
etc. etc. etc. up to almost 3,000

If you look closely at the flames, you can see that an accelerant was used to enhance the attack...

I've wondered about that, too. The bomb blasts in Oklahoma City, Beirut, Nairobi, etc. only devastated the fronts of the buildings. Yet, here we have the entire building, from end to end, suddenly engulfed in flames. What gives?

We can only hope that this backfires on Al-Qaeda in Pakistan the way similar attacks eventually backfired on Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Of course, in the case of Iraq, the American military was on hand to aid those Iraqis who got sick of Al-Qaeda and wanted them out. In Pakistan, who can they turn to? The government? Doesn't seem likely.

It's for sure that no American politician has the stones to do what needs to be done: annihilate the so-called tribal areas in Pakistan where these bastards are believed to be hiding.

A news report over the weekend claimed powdered aluminum was used as an accelerant. Sorry, it was a television news story, so I have no links.

So, this is the thanks they get for harboring terrorists and their supporters? Guess so. Would I be hoping for too much for someone to finally rat out OBL?

Yet, here we have the entire building, from end to end, suddenly engulfed in flames. What gives?
I read yesterday that the explosion severed natural gas piping on the upper floors leading to the fires.

So, now we can expect to see demonstrations by Muslims in Pakistan and elsewhere protesting this atrocity committed be a "tiny minority of extremists" who are giving a bad name to the "Religion of Peace", right?

Stephen Smith, says Australia will offer whatever assistance it can to Pakistan in the wake of the terror attack on the Mariott Hotel.

why? they will do to you too. i say let them treat it on their own

Mr Smith says it was a brutal and cowardly attack that reflects the difficulties Pakistan is facing.

awww, poor pakinstan. my heart is bleeding for you. if only you were a nation like any other. but your not.

Anymore when I hear the word "Islam" mentioned what usually comes first to mind is "death cult." No exception here. Ah, too bad Pakistan isn't a nation of Methodists. Wesley, after all, was an infinitely more admirable Model Man than Mohammed. Damn shame. In the meantime, much killing will go on in the name of Allah. Same old same old.

It's for sure that no American politician has the stones to do what needs to be done: annihilate the so-called tribal areas in Pakistan where these bastards are believed to be hiding.

That's a job for the Pakistanis. If they won't take care of the people threatening their own country then that's just too bad.
If WE are forced to go in, it should be about more than the tribal areas.
Islamabad should be Islamagone.
Lahore should be Lahere?

That picture makes me think, "Islamic Paradise". i.e. Hell

Yes, TS, put a couple of little horns on him and voila! Also a good model for new Halloween mask. Ugly little bastard.

Check out the young Pakistanis interviewed on the BBC site. Those that lay any blame seem to lay it on the 'government' for being too mean to the tribal areas, and of course, 'the US'. Not one of them blames islam.

A propos the remarks by Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, cited by a poster above:

I do hope that as well as offering fulsome condolences to Pakistan, Stephen Smith saw fit to offer condolences to our Commonwealth sister, INDIA re. the recent mass-murderous jihadi assault within India, in New Delhi.

(I at least, in my capacity as a private citizen of Australia, sent a suitable email of condolence re. the New Delhi outrage, to India's High Commissioner in Australia; I hope other Australian jihadwatchers did likewise).

Mr Smith needs to have it pointed out to him, over and over again, that Australia does not have the resources to go burning men and money in Pakistan.

We would be better off reserving all our limited and precious resources of men, money and equipment to
1. bolster our northwestern coastal defences,
2. help the East Timorese fortify themselves against the inevitable resumption of Jihad against them,
3. foster civil society and defensibility in majority-Christian Papua-New Guinea (which I fully expect also to become a target of Jihad from Indonesia, sooner or later),
and 4. to assist Thailand and the Philippines in their efforts to stamp out jihad within their boundaries.

Carefully targeted assistance to India to help her resist and crush the Jihad that assails her both from within and from without, would also be a good idea.

I suggest all Aussie jihadwatchers seize every possible opportunity to make these points in emails, letters, and in person if possible, to the Prime Minister, to the Leader of the Opposition, to the Foreign Minister, and to the Defence Minister.

From the rest of the article, as read by following the link:

"Mr Smith says it was a brutal and cowardly attack that reflects the difficulties Pakistan is facing.

"

He's in New York for a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, and says he'll hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart. 'Australia is ready willing and able to offer Pakistan whatever assistance it needs in terms of technical assistance and advice in meeting the terrorist threat that it faces'...

Well, I hope that when Minister Stephen Smith has his "conversation with [Pakistani] foreign minister Quereshi in the course of this week", he might just possibly have the guts to mention Australia's anger and disgust with the multiple gross human rights abuses practised by Pakistani Muslims against non-Muslims in Pakistan, abuses exemplified in particular by the recent case of the Muslim abduction, rape and 'conversion' of two under-age Catholic girls, Anila and Saba Masih, and the complete refusal of the Pakistani authorities to do anything serious about returning these two poor little kidnapped girls to their distraught parents.

Minister Smith could present the Pakistani Foreign Minister with a damning list of all the *other* similar abductions and 'conversions' of minor girls, grabbed by Muslim thugs from Hindu and Christian families; who disappear forever, their abduction and rape and forcible 'conversion' silently approved by Pakistani police and judiciary. I'm sure that the Christian churches and certain other bodies could provide Foreign Minister Smith with an accurate list of names, and even put him directly in touch with the frantic families of the 'disappeared' girls.

I am sure that by exerting a trifling effort to inform himself, Minister Smith could provide himself with a fully documented list of a whole string of other gross abuses committed by Pakistani Muslims against non-Muslims that have taken place in Pakistan in the past five to ten years - e.g. burnings of churches, daylight robbery of Christian farmers, murder of Christians (and I am sure there have been murders of Hindus, too), false 'blasphemy' charges, etc, - and that have gone completely unpunished.

THOSE are the sorts of subjects that Foreign Minister Smith should be raising in his 'conversation' with the Pakistani Foreign Minister, in New York.

Indeed, if Australia had any sense at all, the conversation would involve 1. the icily furious expression of our total condemnation of Pakistan's abuses of human rights, in particular, its denial of human rights to members of non-Muslim minorities and 2. a cold, flat statement of our cessation of all official military and economic aid, as from the time of saying.

DDA,

You go, Girlfriend! Give'em hell!

Must not mention King David Hotel bombing....

Must default on 9/11 victims....

The reporting reads:

"Failing to break through the suicide bomber kills himself.

Moments later the footage cuts out..."

But it was actually MINUTES later.

The full length surveillance video shows the Palistani "guards" dithering and wandering around as the truck slowly catches fire and finally explodes.

There was plenty of time to push the truck a block away, but the "guards" were unable to appreciate the danger, somehow, even after a suicide bomber detonated himself in the truck's cab.

Everyone dead is the fault of the Pakistani "security" incompetent functionaries.
