Maybe It Is Time To Start Feeling Up Grandma At The Airport
"The Religion Of Peace" now seems to be trying to show their love for humanity and tolerance of others' beliefs that is their hallmark by recruiting murderers from the ranks of the aging. Via adnkronos, by Hamza Boccolini in Algiers:

In a major strategic change, the Algerian arm of Al-Qaeda appears to be using terrorists older than 60 to carry out its attacks.

That is the finding to have emerged from early analysis of the dual bombings that struck Algiers on Tuesday.

Arab media and analysts have spoken of the "return of the elderly" to describe the strategic change by Al-Qaeda's Branch in the Islamic Maghreb (BAQMI) that claimed responsibility for the bombings in the Algerian capital.

The Algerian government said that at least 26 people were killed and more than 170 wounded by the two bombs. However hospital sources say that more than 60 people died in the attacks.

In a statement posted on Islamist websites, al-Qaeda's North Africa wing said that they had used 800 kilogrammes of explosives in each of the two suicide attacks.

Earlier this year al-Qaeda terrorists in Algeria had decided to use young people to carry out their attacks, but now they have changed their stragegy and appear to have decided to use terrorists aged in their 60's.

To avoid Algerian security at key positions in the city, such as the United Nations building, leader of BAQMI Abu Musa Abdel Wudud and his collaborators used a 64-year-old white-haired terrorist, Rabah Bashla, in the suicide attack.

Algeria's minister for internal affairs, Yazid Zarhuni, who went to visit those injured in the attack said a youth had told him that a security official had stopped the drivers gathering there and asked them to move backwards.

One of them refused and he was reportedly the elderly truck driver who later blew himself up. He was said to be in a hurry and looking for a way to get closer to the building.

"He was considered to be a normal person with very white hair and no-one imagined that he was a terrorist," said Zarhuni.

In addition, reports Boccolini, the barbarians also appear to have stepped up recruiting of "young people." In fact, Algerian police noted last September that al-Qaeda had recruited 50 kids under the age of 16.

Sick fucks. Check your watches. It's 2007, going on 2008. You're supposed to be sending your children to college, not sending them to their death.

Who wants to take bets that the cure for cancer will not come from a follower of Islam?

It is interesting to note that our Nation's very first confrontation with militant Islam was a clash with Algeria, the state mentioned at length in this post. This very first clash occurred, not in 2003, 2001, 1991, nor even 1948 (the birth of the State of Israel). Our first clash with militant Islam began BEFORE 1785! Christopher Hitchens describes the diplomatic encounter that occured in that year between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams on the one hand, and the Pasha of Algiers' ambassador to London on the other:

"...but one cannot get around what Jefferson heard when he went with John Adams to wait upon Tripoli’s ambassador to London in March 1785. When they inquired by what right the Barbary states preyed upon American shipping, enslaving both crews and passengers, America’s two foremost envoys were informed that “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

This was long before we invaded Iraq, long before we stationed troops in Saudi Arabia, and long before we recognized Israel. Militant Islam attacked us first, at the very birth of our Republic, and without the slightest provocation. Radical Islam drew first blood. We are still trying to staunch the flow of that blood today.

I say "Radical" Islam because I've met lots of decent Muslims - Arabs, Kurds, Somalis, Americans - who want nothing but to live at peace with us and the world. Many of them are my treasured friends. But the followers of Wahabi Islam, and other radical strains, are different. They are implacable in their opposition not just to us, but to everyone who is not exactly like themselves - including other muslims who who interpret their faith differently. The radicals didn't start fighting us in Iraq, or even on 9/11. They started fighting us from the founding of our Nation. They were suppressed for a long time during the period of European colonization, but the suppressant is no longer in effect.

Thanks so much for posting that, Dennis. Great point. And yes, there are Muslims who want to live in peace, but there are far too many who take the Islamofascism of the Koran and the Muslim leaders' incitement to kill or convert the rest of us as gospel.

Its also not new in Algeria. The locals used women against the french in their bid for independence in the 50s.
