An attempted suicide bomb attack in Morocco missed its intended target, a bus-load of foreign tourists, but seriously wounded the suspected bomber...
The explosion, which occurred in the former imperial town of Meknes in a central square popular with foreign visitors, ripped off the arm of the 30-year-old Moroccan man who was carrying the gas cylinder.
"He tried to get in the bus where tourists of several nationalities were staying, but the driver had the presence of mind to close the door in his face," ...
The bomber, Hicham Dokkali, was an engineer who worked in the tax office...
Morocco has been on high alert for attacks since last month, following a threat from a north African group that has affiliated itself with Al-Qaeda.
The country was hit by outrages earlier this year. In March and April, several suicide bombers carried out attacks in Casablanca.
In May 2003, that city -- the economic capital of the country -- was struck by coordinated bomb attacks that killed 45 people, including 12 suicide bombers.

As you accurately noted : Daniel Pipes is correct :
Hizb ut-Tahrir says that Muslims should abolish national boundaries within the Islamic world and return to a single Islamic state, known as “the Caliphate,” that would stretch from Indonesia to Morocco ...

If I saw all that I’d pick up his arm and beat him senseless with it...
Wait....

One wonders how many virgins he will get for his arm ?Was it his right arm? Probably the only virgin he ever had was his right arm. Something about Mother Thumb and her four virgin daughters comes to mind....

Over the weekend a guy walked into a church and killed the pastor and a couple of worshippers. Near the bottom of the article, it was mentioned that the church was made up primarilly of immigrants from micronesia. They didn’t mention the name or religion of the shooter. Couldn’t be Muhammad, could it?

They were all members of the same church. It was some sort of personal dispute between the killer (from the same little island as the rest of the congregation) and the pastor of the church. I once lived in an area that had a lot of Samoans and other Pacific Islanders, and I noticed that they tended to take a rather direct route to “settling” their disputes.
