News of the peaceful

The Religion of Peace, Tolerance and Homemade Explosive Devices has been a lot in the news lately:

Three bombs exploded in hotels in Amman, killing at least 57 people. Al Qaeda's Iraq office took responsibility, on account that the hotels were "turned by the dictator of Jordan into a garden for the enemies of our religion, the Jews and the Crusaders". Having apparently found no Jews and Crusaders in sight, the bomber in one of the hotels decided to detonate the bomb in the center of a wedding reception. Obviously for these people Islam's prohibition on killing other Muslims does not apply if the other Muslims are celebrating weddings in hotels that also cater to infidels. Considering that al-Zarqawi has already been sentenced to death for bombing one of those hotels in 1999, it's only too bad Jordan cannot give him another death sentence, or even enforce the first one.

Indonesian terrorist Azahari Husin, believed to be the bombmaker for the 2002 Bali attacks, left this world with such a bang that probably not even Allah can put the pieces together. He and a couple of co-workers were surrounded by police and did not have much to lose. They managed to blow themselves up without killing any of the police. Australians are celebrating.

Argentina has named a suspect in 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people. The guy, Ibrahim Hussein Berro, is a Hezbollah member and a Lebanese citizen. Probably wanted those Argentinian Jews to stop their long-distance occupation of West Bank and Gaza.
