Muslim Wake Up! pretty interesting and weird stuff. here's an example: Simple truths about suicide bombers August 07, 2004 Israel/Palestine Simple truths about suicide bombers We are going to be talking about the 72 virgins again, but let us first start with a quick lesson on suicide bombers. Where do they come from? They usually come from populations that are so sick of being bombed and murdered that they see no other options in front of them. What motivates them? Revenge. Sometimes it is the mistaken notion that the enemy will reconsider murdering their families if you murder a few of their enemy’s. Why do they blow themselves up? It is the only way they have to deliver the bomb. Their bodies are the only missiles available. If they had better missiles then they would use those instead. It’s a practical matter. Why do they target civilians? Because military targets are beyond the reach of their only “missiles.” Because they seek revenge for the killing of civilians. Are Muslims the only ones doing suicide bombings? No. The Japanese Kamikazes or the Tamil rebels who blew up Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi of India are two examples. What kinds of things would people say if they were willing to give up their lives for political ends? “Give me liberty of give me death.” "I regret that I have only one life to give to my country." That kind of stuff. Does the bomber who gives up his own life have more courage than the bomber who just presses a button? Murder is murder. Period. The cruise missile or helicopter gunship bomber often has a military target in mind, and sometimes a desire to limit the collateral damage to innocent civilians. Does this give him a moral upper hand? No. Murder is murder. Do you support suicide bombers? Absolutely not. All political murder is reprehensible. Murder of innocent civilians is even worse. What do 72 virgins have to do with any of this? Nothing. |

Suicide bombings, what a plan. There was an interview with a leader of the al-Aksa martyr brigades in the Jerusalem post yesterday. He said it's all over for the intafada. 50 years of struggle, and they have nothing to show for it. The more they fight, the worse off they are. They can either continue with a self-destructive war or live in humiliation, those are the losers' only choice. Vae victus, woe to the vanquished. They're going to have a hard time negotiating for a tolerable peace with Israel after their treachery and bad faith under the Oslo plan. Why should the Israelis believe anything the Palestinians say now? Maybe if it isn't Arafat or his goons, they might stand a chance. |

TOTAL 100% HORSE SHIT These patriots were speaking of giving their own life for a cause, not blowing up innocents. What a complete retard this blogger is. |
Stupid equilivence. Those quotes were made by great American patriots who were willing to die in battle with enemy troops, not suicide bombers. To even suggest that Patrick Henry is the same as a gutless suicide bomber is silly. How can people be so dumb? |
Well put as always Raven, I have NO sympathy what so ever with the Arab cause in Israel, reason being? they were offered EVERY THING THEY WANT NOW AND MORE back in 1947 but they turned round and said 'F**k you' were going to wipe out Israel and take it all. They were offered their own Palistinian State and Jerusalem would have become an International City, run by a UN Trusteeship. They lost, and have kept losing ever since. Now they whine for sympathy from the West for their misfortune… too late Abdulla, you brought it all on yourself. www.palestinefacts.org/pf_independence_un_role.php ANdy |
Except for the slightly inconvient fact that Accidental Killing is never murder. Manslaughter mabey but not murder. One of the defining charcteristics of murder is intent. Collateral damage is not murder, I.E. Homicide, its Fratricide. The deliberate targeting of civilians is Homicide |
