This is either a grand stunt or these folks are praying for the very thing they were against... (please let the U.S. Military save us)
These muslims are not on the same thinking plane as westerners. These poor generation X hippies, I fear, have sealed their doom. They were naive and did not understand their enemy. It reminded me of the scene in "Die Hard" when the preppy, cocaine sniffing punk, tried to negotiate a deal with Hanns and "Roy". John McClain knew the nature of the enemy. The negotiator got his brains blown out.
Know thine enemy.
