Jihad Watch: Palestinian Led Sinai Blasts, Egypt Says

Palestinian Led Sinai Blasts, Egypt Says

Now where did this "disgruntled Palestinian" get the idea that he should kill as many Israeli tourists as possible? Could it be that he has learned such attitudes since he was a child?

I don't know if the statement that he is not tied to Al-Qaeda is meant to be reassuring. In fact, all it does is emphasize how widespread the principles of violent jihad are among Muslims everywhere -- and not just those who belong to terrorist organizations. From the New York Times, with thanks to Teri:

CAIRO, Oct. 25 - A disgruntled Palestinian who worked as a driver and was bent on killing as many Israeli tourists as possible organized the bombings of three resort areas along the eastern Sinai coast that left 34 people dead this month, the Egyptian government said Monday.
The Interior Ministry announced that of the nine men involved in the Oct. 7 attack, two of them, including the ringleader, died unintentionally in one attack, the huge explosion at the Taba Hilton. It said two bombers remained at large, and five suspects with lesser roles were arrested....

Mr. Saleh did not appear to be connected to any specific Palestinian faction, or to Al Qaeda, said the investigator. Egyptian investigators have favored the theory that the attacks were linked to the violence against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.

I don't know why Ariel Sharon doesn't just, move all the jews from Gaza napalm the entire stinking strip.

Muslims just can't live next to or among any other race or creed without some kind of trouble, whether it be jihad or dhimmitude.

How convenient! The terrorist attack was committed by a disgruntled Muslim man and his accomplices. That’s the end of it Egypt can now finish the investigation. They don’t have to investigate against any Palestinian terror group, or any other terror Egyptian group linked to al-Qaida. It would have made them very unpopular having to investigate any Palestinian terror group since they are arming funding, and ideologically supporting them with the full knowledge of the Egyptian government. Now the Egyptian government doesn’t have to loose face with the people of Egypt, or with the Palestinians. And since the mastermind (this lone angry man) died in the attack, well the matter can be now dropped. Just how very convenient!!!

Spot on!!

Digressing (but staying mostly on the African Continent), though the reportage about it’s largely slipped away recently, to date, the Genocide/Jihad in Darfur isn’t finished.

Signifying this, the expansionist, Arab-supremacist Sudanese Government yesterday announced its utter refusal to let the projected, several thousands of African Union peace-keepers touch down on its soil, if they presume coming aboard American transport-planes.

This is a cheap STALLING TACTIC by Khartoum; in Darfur itself, it’s accelerated its campaign against the black “rebels”, as well as stepping up its Janjawid’s ethnic cleansing of the “mawali” civilians.

These contemporary massacres are all transpiring under UN “supervision”: instead of PREVENTING it - as it was cardinally chartered to do - the UN’s now become the international MANAGER of Genocide. - It’s serving its baneful Masters, its automatic, Third World majority.

The Boss of the Organization of Islamic Conferences-Non Aligned Movement-African Union nexus in the UN is the Arab League, which views the UN and the “international community” as its VEHICLE, to use to permanently impose its arch-totalitarian Dominance, sooner or later, over all the peoples of the planet, dispatching Democracy into “el-Jahalia”, “the Oblivion”.

However, internally, the Arab League is potentially FISSURED by keen rivalry among its major Member-states, specially between Saudi Arabia, the richest (BY FAR) and Egypt, the most populous.

These two nations are each in pretty precarious straits nowadays. Egypt, beneath its aging, ailing “Pharoah”, Hosni Mubarak, is basically a dictatorship, which Washington hopes can eventually change into a mere highly-authoritarian entity - but finally, STABLE and NON-BELLIGERENT towards its neighbours. Mediæval Saudi Arabia, as well, faces unavoidable, SERIOUS political volatility. The advent of Democracy in the Kingdom would - without a shadow of a doubt - see Jihadi rule VOTED IN there, “Open, Free & Fair”: “one man, one vote… ONE TIME”.

Such a government there’d probably elevate “Sheikh” Osama bin-Laden to become its “EMIR”, next purchasing nukes from, say, Pakistan (whose nuclear weapons development-program, plus the arms industry that’s grown out of it, have been capitalized by the House of Saud for years) - with the mega-billions falling to him, easily outbidding the USA for Islamabad’s allegiance.

Meanwhile, Pakistan itself’s a problematic “Ally” in the ongoing “War on Terror” (WWIV!), along with both Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Bin-Laden’s PRIORITY targets remain Saudi Arabia (for reasons of revenge and other personal motives, in addition to its vast wealth and its huge oil-deposits) and Pakistan (in order to gain its approximately fifty-warhead atomic arsenal - and the plant to produce as many more payloads, and the rocketry to launch them, as could be wished).

An adjacent, NUCLEARIZING state, Iran, a prominent Member of the OIC, represents a further incipient cleavage in the dar el-Islam - that between Sunnites and the Shi’a. Its RE-AGITATION could unfold in an immense struggle on the territory of Iraq (- as so many times before).

The challenge ahead of the US, the West and their associates is to curtail the prospective, global “Islamic Revolution”, via carefully taking every advantage of the subcutaneous divisions inside the Umma, to turn the militant Moslems’ violence in upon themselves, till expended - making absolutely sure, to attain this, that the Islamo-fascists/Jihadis are wiped out during the ensuing clashes.

The UN will be of ZERO assistance in this vital endeavour; indeed, it’s most likely to constitute a BIG OBSTRUCTION and to influence things NEGATIVELY, wherever it can.

Lamentably, stark HYPOCRISY has become THE story of the UN, by the middle of the first decade of the 21st Century: most egregiously of all, beyond its pervasive corruption and rank nepotism (inter alia), stands simply its Gross Incompetence vis-à-vis GENOCIDE - the prompt HALTING of which is one of its CORE, founding purposes.

The UN has totally, callously betrayed this Primary Responsibility (most lately in Darfur, where it’s been shamelessly CO-OPTED), due to the deliberate, sinister, cynical manipulations, for more than 30 years now, of a closed, pernicious ring of arrogant, cruel, power-hungry, megacidal Arab reactionaries (reflecting all the sheer, pathological malevolence inculcated into the great bulk of their multi-millions of rabble today), who seek - above all, as a supervening, “religious” Obligation - to subjugate suffering humanity to their sheer, bloody atavism, in Perpetuity.

In the end, on the road to STOPPING them, a day must certainly dawn when either Iran and its cronies’ll walk out of the UN, or else the Democracies will do so. In the former case, the UN’ll crumble; in the latter, it’d be renewed, enabled - in this Existential conflict - to seize INDISPENSABLE VICTORY.
