Hizballah is accusing Israel, but the evidence points to...Hizballah. "Another Mysterious Explosion in Southern Lebanon Panics Residents," by Edward Yeranian for VOA News, October 18 (thanks to Maxwell):
An explosion early Sunday in southern Lebanon, close to the Israeli border, caused residents to panic and reportedly prompted the Lebanese Army to fire anti-aircraft guns into the air. It's not immediately clear what caused the blast, although Hezbollah supporters are rushing to accuse Israel.
What a surprise!
The explosion, early Sunday, between the southern Lebanese border towns of Houla and Mais al-Jabal is the latest in a series of unexplained blasts to hit the region, over the past month. United Nations peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL) were quickly sent to the area to investigate....Voix du Liban Radio reported that Lebanese Army troops in the garrison town of Marjayoun fired anti-aircraft guns at Israeli drones, which overflew the area. The radio also claimed that the drones destroyed part of a Hezbollah communications link.
Lebanon's official government news agency also accused Israel of blowing up Hezbollah communications equipment, but it was impossible to verify the claim.
The explosion follows another blast, Monday, in the southern Lebanese town of Teir Felsay, which has a strong Hezbollah presence. Hezbollah denied accusations that a secret weapons depot had exploded.
Israel later showed footage taken by a drone, showing men unloading heavy objects from a large convoy of trucks, insisting that they were rockets. Hezbollah claimed the objects were metal garage doors.
Hilal Khashan, professor of political science at the American University of Beirut, calls the series of recent explosions an "ominous sign," and says they give the world community "the impression that Hezbollah is sabotaging the peace and violating U.N. Resolution 1701."
Khashan says that Hezbollah has been giving a long series of excuses for recent explosions that many find difficult to believe:
"An explosion occurred last week, one last night, and one maybe a month ago," said Khashan. "The first two explosions, Hezbollah gave excuses and attributed them to meddling with Israeli leftovers from the 2006 war. Now, it would be extremely difficult for Hezbollah to keep giving us excuses about bombs from the 2006 summer war. So, the pressure will mount on Hezbollah to explain its position. My fear is that these spates of explosions will eventually put the country on another round of war with Israel."...
If you live with Hezbollah then you can die with Hezbollah. The people of Lebanon are reaping the fruits they sewed.
"Panicked" residents? What do they want from infidels?

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."

How did Islam create its empire? By spreading the glory of Allah? NO! It was through conquest and murder of all who refused to convert. The West can't compare with Islam.

At least make a point, jowen.
If you read through that list it's the equivalent of an elderly neighbor complaining about [fill_in_the_blank] of those damn kids next door.
And your latter quote from Huntingdon.....[rolls_eyes]
Huntingdon admitting he had exaggerated his arguments to spark controversies. Nothing to see, move along.
I will see your quote and raise you a quote from a far better source regarding islam:
W Churchill:
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
You sound like a head-banging cultist, jowen. Am I close?
when it comes to Muslims ...any violence is always the other guys fault...Muslims just don't accept the fact that they started it and intend to keep it up....
I'm now confused. Did the modern world or did it not attain this present greatness through exploding garage doors?
An explosion early Sunday in southern Lebanon, close to the Israeli border, caused residents to panic and reportedly prompted the Lebanese Army to fire anti-aircraft guns into the air.
..............
Well, I'm glad the Lebanese Army didn't aim its guns at Israel.
On the other hand, the useless and irrational image of an army firing its guns aimlessly into the air seems to exemplify the Lebanese military--and, sadly, the Lebanese government--of today.
They appear to be scared, confused, irresolute, in denial, and utterly ineffective in protecting their citizens; whereas the brutal Hizb'allah seems viciously intent on destroying the last remnants of civil Lebanese society, and turning the whole nation into a launching pad for Jihad against Israel.
After all these years of "making a point," Americans voted for Obama as our president.
I've seen people making points, like the huge guy at Afula who sat with his back to the door because, as he said, "I'm so big I'll stop the blast from killing you guys."
Or there's the point made by a busload of scared kids on their way to the Lebanese front.
How about the two Polish guest workers lying on the street outside the Old City gate with their legs blown off by a car bomb?
I'll try to make a point here: Our own people are some of our own worst enemies. I'm coming to hate them more than I hate jihadis. People who whinge about "ZioNazis" and such are our enemies. I would dearly love to see someone make a "point"
Could these be "training" accidents?
"A U.N. investigation into explosions in south Lebanon indicated on Sunday that Israel had planted spy devices on Lebanese land in what a senior U.N. official said would be a violation of a ceasefire agreement."

That looong cut and paste job is a good example of bandwidth theft, and should be deleted...
- Samuel P. Huntington...was an azz...His description of world superiority fit's Islam perfectly, except that Islam does it's organized violence in the name of Allah...
The consolidation of power always includes some form of violence...The opposition must be quieted or eliminated.
We see this with Islam, and we see this with Rasulullahhaha Obama...his supporters are rewarded and his enemies attacked...Rush Limbaugh knows all about this...Rasool's Shahada consists of this, repeated three times..."I'm not tired...I'm all fired up and ready to go"...
Shouted from the pulpit of power, this mantra mesmerizes millions of American liberals...who already suffer from overloaded circuits...Nancy Pelosi is the most visible example...Rasool is attempting to destroy America's superiority, and transfer the remains to himself...This is the great violence to America...but Allah approves...He always does...
The UN is going to do what? Sanitize the place?
Forensic testing like we do for Muslim Schools that have mysterious explosions in their basement???
You would think that the lump under the Rug would give someone a clue as to stop sweeping stuff under it. Despite all the Rugs the Islamic Culture has produced over the years. It is hard to find one that actually lies like one should. Every time I see one I have to ask, "what's caught under the Rug"?
Question Everything
here's another great Churchill quote on Islam, from 'The Story of the Malakand Field Force' (which may be read online, thanks to the Gutenberg Project):
" It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population.
‘Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy.
‘Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions,and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination.
‘But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance.
'It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness.
‘In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside.
‘The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis--as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such.
‘While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness,
poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting.
‘Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide.
'In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism.
'The forces of progress clash with those of reaction.
‘The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace.
'Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed." END QUOTE.
And may it remain so. May the Jews always have better and bigger weapons than the mad Mohammedans! Ditto for the Christians, the Buddhists, the Confucians, the Hindus and everybody else in the kafir world.
That's the supreme irony, of course. I don't think it's just luck that 'the religion of peace' (and one might quite accurately place Judaism under that rubric, as well as Christianity, for in Judaism, as in Christianity, peace is original and final, while war is merely an ugly thing which one may have to do to defend oneself, but which is not one's be-all and end-all) so often turns out to be better armed.
Generally peaceful, productive communities that value education and intelligence, Agreement and Reciprocity, and are therefore capable of great feats of invention and complex cooperation - communities like Jewish Israel, or like former-Christendom, or for that matter, largely-Hindu India - are highly likely to create superior weapons as a kind of byproduct of all the other stuff they do, which they do so much better than the mentally-paralysed and suspicion-and-violence-riddled Muslim ummah.
Einstein didn't say, 'Now I will make possible an atomic bomb'. He didn't have a clue that what he was thinking about - thinking about, because of the pure joy of inquiry into the nature of things - would make an atomic bomb possible.
