It is interesting that during Ramadan, the month of prayers and fasting, that Muslims use this time to promote the worst kind of violence and murder. Liberals like Obama say it’s just a few extremists, that they are misunderstood. That they have legitimate gripes against US Imperialism. Or that they feel oppressed. Oppressed people don’t blow up hotels and fly planes into buildings. Oppressed people don’t take a month off from work to pray during the day and kill people during the night. This religion is a fast becoming a terrorist training organization, seeking to disrupt the world organization in order to dominate it. It’s obvious they are going after Pakistans nuclear arsenal

Yep, you bed down in a nest of vipers and sooner or later they will bite you on the butt.

The Pakis are getting their Karma. Too bad so many innocent people will have to suffer.

It is because large crowds gather for all kinds of Ramadan stuff. Prayers. Breaking fasts at iftar with tables full of diners, extended families together, etc.

How else to blow up the largest amount of people than when there is a major event on.

How sick indeed.
