Al Qaeda continues sowing its mayhem. I wonder how they possibly can think that they shall reap anything else.<\/p>\n
But that’s not the point of this post. <\/p>\n
I just read this over at Yahoo! News<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Qaeda group led by America’s deadliest foe in Iraq on Thursday claimed bombings that ripped through luxury hotels in Jordan’s capital and killed 57 people.<\/p>\n In Wednesday night’s closely synchronized attacks, two bombs exploded while crowds were celebrating weddings, leaving blood and destruction at Amman’s Grand Hyatt and the nearby Radisson SAS. A third blast targeted a Days Inn hotel.<\/p>\n Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said in a statement on an Islamist website that “a group of our best lions” had carried out the attacks.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Their best lions blow themselves to bits with the intent of killing a bunch of others, most (if not all) of whom have done them no personal harm.<\/p>\n We can criticize them and mock them and condemn them for that. (They certainly deserve no glory or commendation for such deeds.)<\/p>\n But I ask you — What do your faith’s best lions do and with what intent?<\/p>\n And — Are you one of your faith’s best lions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Al Qaeda continues sowing its mayhem.
