Suicide bomber read Koran verses before attack

Spencer, you magnificent bastard. I read your book!

Oh, we are just such misunderstanders of Islam!

How can we think that there is some sort of connection between the Qur'an and Islamic terrorism?

Mohamed Game is just some random person who accidently read the Qur'an and decided to kill himself (and some insignificant kuffars). Nothing to see here, move along.

Nota Bene from the full article:

"One detail that today seems important, because it is one of the fundamental questions that investigators will have to answer, is: who convinced Game to be a martyr? Until six months ago, the Perrucchetti barracks suicide bomber wasn’t even particularly religious. But then financial difficulties and serious health problems generated a deep sense of frustration. One web-based jihad manual explains: “If you know any young people – whether one, two, or more – in your area, mosque or university who are as dedicated and enthusiastic about jihad as you are, ... together form a cell”. Two days ago, Game, one of the younger members of the group, celebrated his 35th birthday in a hospital bed. Kol is 52. It is not known when the Egyptian plumber last visited “his” flat in the kasbah-like block in Via Gulli, nor is it known how many men visited, or were supposed to visit, the flat. Nonetheless, the fridge contained enough groceries to feed several people for days. Then there was the stock of explosives. Forty kilograms of fertiliser, the same ammonium nitrate used for Game’s bomb, stood in one corner of the kitchen. Finally, there was another toolbox, identical to the one used by Mohamed Game. On 12 October, the suicide bomber got up at half past six, recited the dawn prayer and performed his ablutions while his wife and four children were still asleep. He left Via Civitali at about seven and walked the 900 or so metres to the lair, where he collected the explosive device. By 7.35 am, he was outside the barracks. He waited until two soldiers in a Fiat Punto drove in and slipped through the gateway with them. Two guards blocked him. Game then bent over and triggered the device, which exploded, blowing his hand off and both his eyes out. The 113 emergency service received the first call at 7.41 am."

That "deep sense of frustration" from -- in this particular case -- "financial difficulties." But that "deep sense of frustration" can come to any of us, for a thousand reasons, at any time. Sometimes those around us can help, sometimes they can not. Sometimes they can detect that "deep sense of frustration"; sometimes they can not.

And here is the problem. We Infidels, we non-Muslims, experiencing this "deep sense of frustration," have a thousand reasons to seek and find, a thousand things or people to conceivably blame. As I've written before, we Infidels can blame our parents, our children, our siblings, our spouse, fate, the stars, The System, Kapitalism, Amerikkka, our serotonin level, our cholesterol level, anything and everything at all. But Muslims have an ever-ready mental grid, or rather a prism through which to view the universe, and through that prism they can always see The Ones To Blame, The Ones Who Are Guilty. It's the Infidels, always the Infidels.

And that is why we, who have no way of knowing today which Muslims who claim to be "moderaste" really are "moderate," nor do we have any good definition of what constitutes a "moderate" Muslim (a "moderate" Muslim would, at the very least, be one who does not take Islam, and what it inculcates, to heart, which is not so much a "moderate" as a non-believing, or selectively believing, Muslim -- that is, a kind of lapsed or bad Muslim), nor do we have any way of knowing how long that "moderation" will last. Game, the would-be mass-murderer in Milan, had lived in Italy for 25 years, had married and had children by an Italian woman, and there was no hint that he had not successfully "integrated." But there was Islam, Islam in his head, Islam to turn to. And turn to it he did.

Another "misunderstander" of Islam and another, ironically named Mohamed. Who would have guessed?

The British Newspaper, The Independent, when they originally reported this story, described the attack as having happened in Milan in Spain.
Showing their customary attention to detail.

Little off topic, but looks like Iran got bit by the misunderstanding of Islam bug.

Love to see the Shia, Sunni rift in all of its glory.

"One local MP demanded the Guard take the fight to Jundullah, crossing the border into Pakistan if necessary.

The suicide bomber detonated explosives at a sports hall where the officers were meeting tribal leaders. Among the dead was General Nour Ali Shoushtari, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard ground forces."

The monkies are blowing each other up.
