When will the world wake up to the fact that these people dont care who they murder? You dont have to be American, Catholic, Islamic, Iraqui. These crazy bastards will blow you up. No one is safe while they exist.

[FormerACLUmember]

In the dead eyes of al Queda and their evil Saudi billionaire financiers, these Westernized Arabs must be slaughtered even more vigorously than "Crusaders and Jews." The IslamoNazis want a return to the 7th Century.

"And then the bomber struck."

"Bomber" Not terrorist nor murdering Islamofascist scum. Just a bomber.

[Captain Rhino]

"No one is safe while they exist."

Precisely.

[The Right Stuff]

I don't normally use profanity but this P's me off more than anything. I saw this picture of this gorgeous bride and handsome husband alongside of their obviously adoring fathers and thought of some damn jihadist freak invading their wedding and gleefully causing mayhem and violence - and I agree with the bride's sister.

If I had a gun, I'd shoot them myself. How dare they intrude upon this holy and sancrosect day.

Beautiful girl, and she has her priorities in order.

Her father’s body still lay in a morgue across town. She had not seen him yet; Ashraf had rushed her home from the hotel immediately after the blast to spare her the horrors of the scene. “We will bury him tomorrow,” Nancy said. “Today all we can do is worry about my mother.”


Pray for mother, bury father, kill terrorists.

[Argus]

If you know who did this, give me a call and I’ll shoot them myself.

The culprit's name is Zarqawi. He is a Palenstinian born in Jordan, currently hiding somewhere probably in Iraq, where he is the emir of al Qaeda between the rivers. Good luck and good hunting.

From the picture caption: The groom, Ashraf al-Akhras, suffered serious injuries and was rushed to an Amman hospital.

From the article: “It was as if they [the fathers] had been protecting them,” said Mustafa Akhras, 27. “They both died but Nadia and Ashraf, they didn’t have as much as a graze.”

Hate that. I always suspect the worst news is the correct story.

[Dustbunny]

What a heart breaking way to start a life together. So very sad and tragic.

Terrorists/suicide murders, one and the same. The world needs to join forces and stop them.

[Sabramerican]

“What kind of person would do this to people celebrating a wedding?

The same type of people who would do it to kids eating pizza, students on a bus to school, workers sitting in their desks in NYc, elderly people at a Passover dinner....

Did any of you Arabs happen to notice those people when you supported- or were at best unconcerned- for the previous barbarity?

[KJC1]

She collapsed in shock and her husband threw himself on top of her to protect her. But the blast had already wreaked its damage and other bodies had saved the newlyweds. On either side of them, their fathers lay prostrate, Nadia’s already dead, cut down by a piece of shrapnel blown into his head, Ashraf’s bleeding but still breathing — just.

This is just so unspeakably awful.

[livius]

Horrible story. I have been praying for these poor people all day.

[solzhenitsyn]

What a terribly sad story! But the bride and groom remain. I wish them a long and happy life together.

The world needs to join forces and stop them.

Easier said than done, for sure. . .

. . .we cannot even get the Democrats in our country to join the anti-terrorist forces.

[Veto!]

This picture of the bride and her father brought me to tears. How happy this man looks, how proud of his beautiful daughter, how pleased that he gave her the wedding of her dreams.

I still think this group was chosen purposely to bomb. I just can't believe that randomly they'd walk into a wedding.

And I cannot imagine any sane person in the Arab world not throwing their hands up and screaming at al Qaeda to stop now. They must hate them. At least they do now.

I agree with that. I suspect it was an assasination.

[sheik yerbouty]

That is because they are really Dhimmocrats..

[Veto!]

I suspect it was an assasination.

I wonder whether the truth will ever be revealed.
