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.
"Bomber" Not terrorist nor murdering Islamofascist scum. Just a bomber.
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.
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 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.
Terrorists/suicide murders, one and the same. The world needs to join forces and stop them.
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?
This is just so unspeakably awful.
Horrible story. I have been praying for these poor people all day.
What a terribly sad story! But the bride and groom remain. I wish them a long and happy life together.
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.
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.
This is one of the most awful things I've heard. So much for targeting Americans. This bomber went in with this crowd because he knew he could blend in. He KNEW he was killing Jordainians. Some day the muslims have to wake up to the fact that they are not safe. I hope these protests against Zarquari produce some results. Like his demise and a growing LACK of support for al-Queda, who claimed responsibility for this. They've got to come to the realization that they are not safe just because they are muslim.
Bastards....it's all you can say. I just keep imagining something like that happening at a wedding here....god, those two, now every anniversery is going to be a reminder of this. Somebody ought to do something to try to bring some good out of all this mayhem. Something so those damn killers don't win.
What unspeakable, heartless bastards those terrorists are! I'm astonished that there's still anyone in the world who thinks we can deal with al Qaeda by appeasing them or "dialoging" with them.
Ok, who the hell did these two ask to have this happen? And these terrorists? Do they really care if you're for or against the war? No, they don't. See my little liberals...this is how terrorism works, they kill and spread terror and wait for us to imitate the Spanish electorate.
Guess what, how much do you think they would like to do the same over here? How long before it does? They busted a cell in Australia, and another possible plot against the White House was busted up in Bosnia today. Now whatever you think of the current occupant, do you really want to see the White House in flames?
We have a war to win, to win for daughters, sons, fathers, mothers, brides and grooms, wives and husbands. The whining needs to stop and we need to show the enemy some cold steel. Politics need to stop and people need to shut up for the duration. Don't like it? Tough. War is a nasty business. And it's not going to get any nicer. And we need to be smarter, meaner and luckier than them, and not contemplating our f$#%^#@g navels like Star Trek.
Something should be done for this couple, who are now, for the rest of their lives, going to remember their wedding day as one of pain, fire and sorrow. But I think the best thing we can do is to relegate Al-Queda and it's partner in crime, Islamic Fundamentalism as a whole to the same asheap as the NDSAP, the CSA and the city-state of Carthage. War is sometimes a remedy the enemy chooses, he chose it on September 11th. I say give him the full measure.
As for those who want to make distinctions between Afghanistan and Iraq, here is a point you cannot deny. Saddam had links to these groups and certainly trained them, if not directly supported the 9/11 plot. Google "Salman Pak". Also, he broke the 1991 cease-fire. He fired on our aircraft patrolling the no-fly zone. He kicked out the inspectors in 1998. Those two reasons alone are enough to justify our actions.
So don't weep for the terrorists, and don't weep for Saddam. Weep for Asharaf and Nadia. They deserved better. And to quote a lot of Jordanians tonight "Mossawi, burn in hell".
All I can think is what goes around comes around.
PALESTINIAN murderers targeted a Bat Mitzvah a few years ago. PALESTINIAN murderers have been targeting innocents for at least a generation.
Maybe this will wake some Arabs up to their sick society. But I doubt it.
I don't remember ever reading such a tear jerking piece written about Israelis murdered. Certainly not in Arab press.
This is so sad. These people were so happy.
I can't help thinking of the times our troops were falsely accused of bombing "weddings", and here they have gone and done exactly that.
I wonder how many of them will see through the terrorists now.

What a sad story. Prayers foro their them and the families of those who died.
