"Bombers don't kill people. Bomb kill people."

Fron The Australian, via Jihad Watch:

Abu Bakar Bashir, an Indonesian Muslim cleric believed to be the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah and convicted of conspiracy in 2002 Bali bombings, has been released after serving 25 months. He maintains that he is innocent. He also maintains that he is innocent in 2000 Christian church bombings all around Indonesia and in 2003 bombing in a hotal in Jakarta, of which he has also been accused.

He suggested that the Australian Prime minister should convert to Islam and that families of Bali bombing victims should convert to Islam. I am starting to suspect that the guy thinks pretty much everybody should convert to Islam.

"He said the families of the dead should understand that they were killed by bombs, not bombers, and that it was "God's will"."

Bombers don't kill people. Bomb kill people. Hey, sometimes we get really stupid criminals in the US who claim that their gun aimed and fired all by itself, but the only people who actually expect to be believed on that are the kind of people who only have four biological greatgrandparents, one of whom is a goat, one is a sheep and two are siblings from West Virginia. Such people don't get to become spiritual leaders of anything, not even Westboro Baptist church. But I guess in Indonesia not everyone can afford to have theit spiritual leaders and/or mass murderers to be up to Western standards.
