“The key is to look at the biographies of these guys – contrary to conventional wisdom, they were radicalised by images of Abu Ghraib”
They should as hell didn’t give a f*** about muslims when Saddam Hussein was having his sons rape the wives of prisoners there, when he was cutting off the hands of prisoners, disemboweling prisoners, etc.
Nope some photos of terrorists captured on the battlefield with panties on their heads (which was in violation of procedure and being prosecuted as such at the time the photos were leaked by the uncle of one of the violating perps) is what p!ssed off the muslim world.
It was anti-Western anger, NOT anti-Abu Ghraib anger.
Their anger is not my fault but it is my problem and if they can’t get it under control they will have to deal with the Western world’s response.
Where is the high-profile Muslim leader standing up tall in his turban and denouncing in no uncertain terms, no waffling, no apology-not-really-an-apology?
Heck, we Christians have our nut-jobs, too, but you don't see mainstream Christians waffling when Westboro Baptist protests at a soldier's funeral.
That group is marginalized, and rightly so. But you won't see "moderate" Muslims doing that, because secretly they agree with the "radicals."
