16:13 - Recycle of violence
|
(top)  |
Some people are big into issuing studied statements like "Eye for an eye" and "violence begets violence", because it sounds good even though it's utterly meaningless (like "Tearing down the wall between culture and politics", on his sidebar. The hell does that mean?).
But remember: even though every American is required to self-flagellate over the actions of the prisoner-abusers in Iraq, we're not allowed to ask that Muslims take responsibility for the actions of people like this.
(The best we can hope for is parodies, weakly satisfying though they be.)
UPDATE: Here's a translation of the statement that was read.
"Have you not had your fill of the war of conferences and battle of words? Is it not time for you to take the path of jihad and carry the sword of the Prophet of prophets? We ask you not to condemn what we will do just to please the Americans.
So, I guess, never mind then.
