From the pulpit of the Peace Mosque in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt's leading Islamic cleric ripped into terrorists who kill innocent civilians. They will be damned in this life and the next, he thundered before hundreds of worshipers.

"The aggressors who blow up themselves, their cars and bombs against innocent men, women and children will not be given any mercy by God. ... They will be cursed by God and his angels," Grand Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi said during his sermon preceding Friday's prayers.

I'm pretty sure that a video of this guy while he was giving this sermon would have shown that his fingers were crossed the whole time.

Yes, I want a full transcript. So we can put his comments in "context".

Too little, too late IYAM.

No, these guys are starting to panic. They created a monster, thought they could control it, and now it's turned on them. They're scared.

They thought these tactics would only be used against Israel, some of these guys are still trying to weasle word their condemnation in a way that will still allow the Palestinians to do suicide bombs, but most of them are figuring it out. They either kill this thing, or their governments will start killing them.

The Imams are the key to this.
