Premature detonation: it's the jihadist's ever-present fear.
"Premature Blast Kills Philippine Bomber," from AP (thanks to James):
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A grenade exploded during a town fiesta in the southern Philippines, killing a would-be bomber and wounding four people, police said Thursday.The police chief in General Santos city, Senior Superintendent Robert Po, said the grenade held by the bomber went off before he managed to penetrate crowds celebrating the city's foundation anniversary late Wednesday. [...]
Po said investigators were working to determine the bomber's identity and affiliation, but suspected he may have been linked to a notorious extortion gang, the Al-Khobar group.
The group, which authorities believe has ties to Muslim extremists operating in the southern Philippines, has been blamed for at least a dozen explosions in the region targeting bus companies and business establishments....

The Quran needs a new appendix covering the handling of HE.

And good to hear when one of these scumbags only takes himself out. Sometimes justice prevails.

What? The talks of giving these jihadists a homeland hasnt detered them?
Posted by: Elric66 at February 28, 2008 1:05 PM
How do they know it was a Muslim? Did he have a Quran with him and a letter which said, he is a Muslim. Or maybe they found a videotape of him in a 'jihadist training camp,' placed conveniently in the shop next to where he blew himself up.
And no, suicide bombing is not limited to Muslims.
Verify the story first, then start saying it was a Muslim.

The only other group that's ever 'indulged' in suicide murders are the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. People that you undoubtedly expect to run into in the Philippines

Oh, sorry, probably must have been an Methodist fundamentalist. By you ardent defense and obvious name tag, I would be willing to guess that you are a muslim or wannabe yourself.

Saracen,
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS !
I suppose it was a japanese Kamikaze who forgot the war was over.

And, no, I don't think a racy pun is out of place on this -- the whole of human existence in our troubled times is a bad joke!

What happens to failed suicide-bombers. Are they still considered 'martyrs'?
Do they get the 72 virgins or do they just become 'mop-boys'in Paradise.

How's that cease fire in exchange for their own islamic island working out for ya Philippine Goverment?
Just about how I figured it would work out. Give em an inch, they want the rest of it.

This was a Muslim, alright, who was merely following in his prophets footsteps. This is what the Qur'an and Islam teach, so why are we surprised? Well, we are not surprised, but some naively teach that Islam is not the cause - which is just more poopaganda.

'blamed but not proven.'
How can you claim something and expect people to believe it.
It's a bit like Afghanistan, your president sent you to war without being able to prove Bin Laden had something to do with 9/11. Do you need me to quote what the FBI said?
Prove it was a Muslim who done it. Facts are needed. And no champ, Prophet Muhammed pbuh had nothing to do with this. All the poopaganda is coming from you. Just go back a sentence and you'll see.

I'll bet he wished he had done all of his homework at Kaboom University.

Dead people at a fiesta would only please Muslims. Tell the truth, if he would have killed 6 people, you would have gotten a warm fuzy inside? Would you have prayed for the dead "pagans"? I did not think so.

The proof is overwhelming.
Just remember how happy you were on 9/11. It was a great day for you wasnt it. I bet you look up pictures of people falling too thair death and remeber the good times.

Bin Laden chose not to come out and prove his Innocence for 9/11. The Talliban were unwilling to extradite him. They made their choise's and we made ours. Many many Muslims have died in their attempts to prevent us from bring him to Justice. Not to mention all the newer followers attempting to prevent his apprehension.
Bin Laden Must really be a great man for so many to die for so little gain. All for a Criminal making promises He has no right to make and no means to deliver.
Bin Laden-a true Caveman of our time. Dreaming of the day when all his followers may dwell in a Cave as adorned as his.

thes - may I suggest that you read Robert's book:
"The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion"
It's featured on the home page of Jihad Watch.
Read it, and you will learn that Muhammad is in fact behind the violence that is so widespread within Islam.
at February 28, 2008 3:30 PM
More nonsense from the troll. 'Prove it was a muslim'. Prove you are a muslim, prove you are not.
You can't prove squat about anything yourself, so don't demand it of others. Even then if some proof is presented, you won't accept it, so what's the point?
Let me ask you this off topic question. For you personally, what is the most important thing you can do in this life? I await your answer.

Pretty pathetic but how about TWO young guys blowing themselves up and getting shot just to kill ONE old Jewish woman. And then everyone celebrating in Gaza with candy and flowers - the great victory for the mighty heroic forces of Jihad.

These creatures desperately need a safety consultant. I would apply but it would be treasonous. Sad to say, but some Americans might just apply.
If this is their level of training and readiness, the Philippine Branch will be more of a danger to themselves than anyone else.

Nothing makes my day like reading about a premature detonation!
Posted by: alexon at February 28, 2008 5:53 PM
The bomb did not go off too soon..the bomb went of JUST RIGHT!

It's obvious he got too excited thinking about his 72 virgins.
He should have been thinking about baseball instead.
Posted by: PorkFatRules at February 28, 2008 6:30 PM
Or maybe it was just a case of Bombus Interruptus.
Posted by: PorkFatRules at February 28, 2008 6:35 PM
I am SHOCKED. SHOCKED to my boots!
What's wrong with you people here? Are you ill? Mad? INSANE?
How on earth can you be so mean as to mock and pour your racist, anti-Islamic bile on innocent people who simply MISUNDERSTOOD the Qu'ran?
You people should take a good look in the mirror. You're just a bunch of ISLAMOPHOBES who, like vultures, feed off any dead corpse to fatten your own tummies.
Have you no compassion, understanding or love in your hearts?
No? Me neither. Let's hope the virgins are all 6' 7" camp-as-xmas, hung like stallions and raving homosexuals who can give these animals a new meaning to "married to the black-eyed" in the paedophile's paradise.
At least they went out with a bang though...

Surpassed only by their fear of being unable to achieve detonation.

"Jihadist kills self ... when his bomb goes off too soon."
Darwinism in action.
