How To Raise A Barbarian
Mohamed Atta's father praises the terror attacks in London, and calls for more in a CNN interview:

El-Amir said the attacks in the United States and the July 7 attacks in London were the beginning of what would be a 50-year religious war, in which there would be many more fighters like his son.

He declared that terror cells around the world were a "nuclear bomb that has now been activated and is ticking."

The man, who gave his age as "at least 70," said he had no sorrow for what happened in London, and said there was a double standard in the way the world viewed the victims in London and victims in the Islamic world.

Cursing in Arabic, el-Amir also denounced Arab leaders and Muslims who condemned the London attacks as being traitors and non-Muslims.

He passionately vowed that he would do anything within his power to encourage more attacks.

When asked if he would allow a CNN crew to videotape another interview with him, el-Amir said he would give his permission -- for a price of $5,000.

That money, he said, would not be kept for himself, but would be donated to someone to carry out another terror attack.

El-Amir said that $5,000 was about how much it would cost to finance another attack in London.

It is CNN policy not to pay people for interviews.

Yoohoo, where are all those moderate Muslims to tell us what a religion of peace and modernity they practice? Not that I like any religion, but this one takes the cake for primitivism. And sure, there's the occasional murderous Christian or Jewish fanatic -- Eric Rudolph or JDL nutsos -- but not to the extent Muslims come out as murderous barbarians.
