The Opacity of Hope
Seems all is not wonderful for the al Qaedas. Great WSJ column about how al Qaeda is losing that kumbaya feeling.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120640588050061101.html?mod=todays_columnists Seems that a former al Qaeda big shot, Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif, denounced suicide-bomber recruitment techniques. He's advocating gaining permission from BOTH parents before being allowed to blow oneself into paradise. Both parents?!? Planned Parenthood thinks this guy is nuts. Then, al Qaeda's head man in Afghanistan Mustafa Ahmed Muhammad Uthman Abu-al-Yazid, Jr (not his real name, I added the Jr - ha ha), went on the 24 hour Jihadi channel, Al-Sahab, to call for recruits. He spoke for 46 minutes asking for mothers, fathers, and wives to not be a barrier to suicide bombing. 46 minutes!?! Bill Clinton thinks this guy talks too much. Finally, Ayman al-Zawahiri wrote a 215 page beat-down of Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif, basically alleging that he's absorbed too much voltage at the hands of the infidels. 215 pages?!? Tom Clancy thinks this guy needs and editor. Anyway, bottom line, al Qaeda is scuffling - accoding to the WSJ anyway.

Interesting article, though disturbing to realize that this is exactly where religious extremism leads.
The notion of legitimizing the slaughter of innocent civilians in the name of Allah is so fraught with irony it's hard to know where to begin. I guess it's just another reminder to never, ever underestimate the human capacity for rationalization.

Applying logic to religeous fanatacism never works, but I always wondered about killing someone because they weren't of a certain religeon. How do you know the guy wouldn't convert some day?
Aren't you taking away that person's choice to "see the light" and acknowledge Allah as their personal, spiritual leader? If you kill the infidel or Jew "wherever you find them" the infidel is condemned to eternal damnation - or whatever is the Muslim's equivalent of hell.

Hey, if you think that they are having problems here, where in the world are they finding 72 virgins for each idiot who blows themselves up?!
