Lebanon: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber hits Beirut hotel, casualties feared

Jun 25, 2014 1:44 pm By Robert Spencer

BeiruthotelThis jihad attack probably has to do with the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad, which is now raging in Iraq and Syria. It is practically inevitable that it engulf Lebanon as well, with that nation’s Christians caught in the middle.

“Suicide attack at Beirut hotel, casualties feared,” Al Arabiya, June 25, 2014:

A suicide bomber attacked a hotel in the Lebanese capital of Beirut Wednesday, an Al Arabiya correspondent said, and media reports said at least one person was killed in the blast.

The explosion occurred on the fourth floor of a hotel in the district of Raouche along the Beirut coast during a raid on the building by the country’s General Security force.

Several members of the security forces were wounded during the ongoing raids, which have so far led to the apprehension of at least three individuals.

Ambulances could be heard rushing to the scene of the blast, the third in less than one week. Meanwhile, local media has reported that people are still trapped in the hotel despite a raging fire.

Lebanese Red Cross official Georges Kettaneh said “we are coordination with Lebanese security forces to get into the hotel.”

There is a heavy security presence from the airport road leading to the southern suburbs of Beirut, Hezbollah’s stronghold.

Reuters news agency quoted local security sources as saying at least one person was killed.

The explosion comes only two days after a suicide bomber killed a General Security sergeant in the Beirut suburb of Tayyouneh.

The recent string of attacks is expected to negatively affect Lebanon’s tourism sector, which has been battered by the crisis in neighboring Syria. The most recent explosion comes only days after the UAE issued a travel warning to its citizens against traveling to Lebanon.

    This is just the beginning of a coordinated terrorist impact campaign designed to draw attention to the dispersed reach of ISIS, the underlying pillar of the new Caliphate birthing in Iraq.

    Expect many of these in the coming months. Expect more probing of Israel’s borders; particularly the Golan and an uptick in domestic terrorism in the West Bank as illustrated by the kidnappings of the three Jewish seminarians recently.

    The US needs to be on high-alert for similar activity within its borders. Look for patterns and connect the dots.

    What not to expect? That Obama will demonstrate solidarity with Israel or publicly clarify Islam as the enemy of US and western interests.

    The pressure is building and our own Government still denies what is becoming increasingly obvious to the informed American. Our Government IS THE PROBLEM not THE SOLUTION. OBAMA is the PROBLEM. It is unfathomable to me that a fifth columnist like Mohamed Elibiary is not under investigation let alone an Obama Homeland Security adviser. It’s like having a Goebbels on the payroll of the defence department during WW2.

    One of the reasons that a Muslim male will commit a suicide/homicide attack by becoming a humans bomb is the Islamic doctrine for the Quran, Sura 44:54. 55:56. 78:31., of a paradise with many virgins for the Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam. This strange, bizarre ,weird, far-fetched nonsensical Islamic doctrine had and is the cause of much murder and mayhem. The French philosopher, Voltaire, had written “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

    The reader might very well notice that the imams and mullahs who very thoroughly brainwash other people into the mindset of actually wanting to commit such murderous attacks by becoming human bombs are never the ones who go out themselves and engage in the suicide bombing. Al these Islamic cleric do strongly mind program other people into wanting to do it. Then these same Muslim clerics send then out to commit the act of such a murderous bombing. Al the same time that this is going on these same Islamic clerics sit home safe. This alone says a lot about the real character of these imams and mullahs.
