I realize this has been posted before but there is a line in this article that just left me dumbfounded. It says:

In the family's West Bank home town of Silet al-Thaher, Najah Akhras, 35, wept over her two nieces who were killed.

"Oh, my God . . . Is it possible that Arabs are killing Arabs, Muslims killing Muslims?" she said.

I would comment further but I just can't find the words. Is it possible she does not know? Can anyone be that ignorant?

when Jordan sends a division into Iraq to assist in the hunt for zar-whassisname, then i'll beleive that they are upset.

if everybody who was attacked by al-quada responded by joining the search to eliminate them, they'd have a real short lifespan. unfortunately, like Spain most of their victims do the ostrich routine, and leave the ifghting to us.

Saw Queen Noor on one of the blather shows last night.

She was saying stuff like, "They've made a tactical error." "Now, they've commited a sin against Islam.


I guess 9/11, etc., didn't qualify.

They can be ignorant if they get their news from the likes of al Jazeera and other pro-islamist sources. These people are comparable to those in the US - liberals and other anti-Americans - who get their "news" (really, propaganda) from the so-called "mainstream media" (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT, LA Times, and so forth). In fact, there is little to no difference between the unbashed pro-islamist slant of al Jazeera and the anti-American, pro-islamist slant of the US "news" (really, democrat national party mouthpiece) media. I'm guessing there are people in the US (Manhattan, Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, Berkeley, CA, Madison, WI, and so on) who believe muslims kill only infidels, in particular Americans, and that it is their duty to do so and they applaud it.

Yep, imagine that anyone could actually be ignorant of 1500 years of Islamic history.

Any sympathy or support Zarqawi had in Jordan suddenly got a lot smaller and quieter.

Need I remind you that almost 50 million Americans voted for Senator Global Test last year.

All the Left boohooing over Iraq sounds like
crocodile tears compared to the laments of those
whose innocent loved ones have lost their lives
to malicious, psychopathic bullies.

You have to realize that as long as the Muslims are killing Westerners or Jews its okay - no big deal. But NOW they are killing Jordanians, Palestinians, etc. thats a big deal. That's their mindset. Al Zarqawi made a huge mistake this time and in a way maybe it will be a good thing for us in that the muslims will start feeling the hate we feel for Al Zarqawi and stop idolizing him. I hate to say this but sometimes it takes a horrible tragedy like this for them to see the truth.

These demonstrations are sponsored by the government. Jordan has been playing the middle man with Iraq for decades. With our tacit acceptance and approval, they openly violated the UN sanctions against Iraq. They did not condemn Iraq for invading Kuwait. Let's remember, AL-ZARQAWI was born in Jordan.

Maybe this will bring in some tips from Zakawhi's home turf, after all he was a small-time Jordanian thug before he found a bigger "cause".

Yes! Those in our own government that support the terrorists - at one time they agreed with Europe, the United Nations and America that terrorism must be stopped and that OBL was to be destroyed.

Now they support just the opposite so they must support Arab killing Arab, i.e. Muslim killing Muslim - just as they are determined to reduce America and Americans to Socialism - they are killing Americans!

"Oh, my God . . . Is it possible that Arabs are killing Arabs, Muslims killing Muslims?"

The attitude seems to be how wonderful it is when other people are killed, those "infidels", but what a terrible tragedy and atrocity when your clan is hit.

Thousands of Arabs, outraged by the Muslim-vs.-Muslim bombings in Jordan, angrily rallied against al Qaeda yesterday as investigators arrested Iraqi suspects. "Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!" Jordanians chanted outside one of the hotels blasted by alleged supporters of al Qaeda's Iraqi chief.

Nothing compares to freedom of the press in the Arab world.

Is it possible she does not know? Can anyone be that ignorant?

If her only source of news is al Jazeerah, and the local Muslim newpapers, what can we expect? She's getting all the news they see fit to print. Sounds like our MSM before the advent of the 'new media'.

Here's hoping that regular, non fundamentalist, Muslims will get a belly full of the radicals and shut them down.
