Residents and U.S. soldiers view the damage after a car bomb attack in Baquba, 65 km (43 miles) north of Baghdad, May 19, 2005. Many Arab Muslims dismissed the religious justification for killing innocents given by al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, saying it was not the Islam they knew and any resistance had rules to protect civilians. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi defended the killing of innocent Muslims in suicide bombings against U.S. forces in a message on a Web site on May 19th. He said Muslim scholars permitted such conduct for the sake of jihad, or holy war. Photo by Stringer/Iraq/Reuters

"Welcome to Erff!"

Quoted: I don't think I would have stood in front of the muzzle to take the picture of the guy smashing the window.   I like the one of the guy collecting shells (is that an SP1 upper?)
