Mar Steyn ping. Hope it wasn't a reprint. I searched but couldn't find anything like it.

If last Thursday's shooting is the spectacular Fourth of July massacre al-Qaeda have been promising for months, then they're to be congratulated for a bloody slaughter on an epic scale never before seen in America except from incompetent grade-school psychos who steal Uncle Bud's hunting rifle but forget to take any extra ammo.

Great stuff, as always.

I suspect we get a bone beforehand ... unless they believe -- after two years of barnburners like Elian and Condit -- we're due for a summer recess for a change.

Obviously, Underperformin' Norman Mineta, the scrupulously sensitivity-trained U.S. Transportation Secretary, would have been wary of jumping to conclusions. Were he running the LAPD, he'd have pulled in a couple of elderly nuns and Kelli-Sue, a trainee hairdresser from Des Moines

I just love the way this guy writes.

I've even been known to "borrow" some of his stuff!

I offered Osama a small part, but he said, "I've got one already."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! Fuming, his followers must be.

...this column is pleased to inaugurate the David Atkin Muslim Balls Award...

Let me be the first to nominate The Master himself, Mark Steyn!

Of course, Steyn is not a Muslim,... but we shouldn't let that get in the way. Being a Muslim doesn't get in the way of the FBI either.

...some of it is also due to al-Qaeda's preference for hiring morons.

Hey, when it comes to hiring morons, I'll put our Agent Garcia up against their morons anyday.

CNN and The Associated Press all but stampeded to report a "witness" who described the shooter as a fat white guy in a ponytail who kept yelling "Artie took my job."

Hmmm... This looks kinda familiar. Didn't I see a FReeper use this very line that day? If they take a FReeper gag line this seriously, let's hope that they never find out about DEBKA!

Great read, and thanks!

I humbly suggest that we define terrorist attacks the way Bush and Bibi define it:

"Terrorists are ANYONE who targets innocent civilians, on purpose."

This was a terrorist attack, and the first of many, I am afraid to predict.

The FBI seems to be politically hamstrung. Why?

C'mon!

We all know who the culprit is behind the attack at LAX on the 4th - - Gun Owners!

Gray Davis said it himself in a statement shortly after the shooting. He said that this is the reason why we need to "get guns off the streets."

NRA, You caused this!!!

"It appears he went there with the intention of killing people," said Richard Garcia, the Bureau's agent in charge. "Why he did that we are still trying to determine."

You don't have to think very hard about this one. Why did he put "read the Koran" on his door just moments before heading off to kill some Jews?

Sure maybe he had some marital problems and such, but that doesn't explain why he went after some random Jews.

The cops and FBI are trying too hard not to offend. But the simple fact is that there are some crazed Muslim sects that preach murder as a godly act. The big clue is the sticker on his door.

Mr Steyn forgot to note that LAX/ElAl's terrorist murderer had sent his family out of the country before his grab for the virgins.

Maybe the FBI didn't notice too?

Perhaps that explains that sad, painfully-politically-correct and Peter-Principled feral bureacracy's difficulty in finding this latest islamanazi terrorist's motive?

....I star as the world's most eligible bachelor unable to choose between Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz....

He picked two of the dumbest of the dumb in hollywierd.

So let me salute those Muslim Pakistani police currently searching for three men wanted for carrying out the gang-rape to which an 18-year-old girl was sentenced by a Punjabi tribal council.

There's no hope for any muslim that would tolerate this. Not in this world, or Gods'. And these guys think they're religious???

Mark Steyn: Whatever you do, don't call it a hate crime

Excerpt:

Credit where it's due. Between September 11th and July 4th, there were no terrorist attacks on American soil. That's a longer period of peace than the British ever managed in the 30 years it took them to surrender to the IRA. Much of this 10-month calm is due to increased vigilance but some of it is also due to al-Qaeda's preference for hiring morons. If their glorious Fourth was really the follow-up to 9/11, then I'd say that's the worst-performing sequel since Dudley Moore made Arthur II.

But let's take the Feds at their word when they insist there's "no connection" between the LAX killer and any terrorist organizations. In its way, that's even more disturbing. Mr. Hadayet doesn't fit the poverty-breeds-desperation-breeds-resentment routine: He lived in a prosperous L.A. suburb and ran his own business. America had been good to him, at least when compared with the economic basket-case he emigrated from. On July 4th, he had plenty of reasons to get out the bunting and firecrackers. Instead, he went Jew-killing.

Osama and al-Qaeda are a small problem, which since September 11th has been managed about as well as can be expected. But the broader culture of "intolerance" in certain unassimilated communities is a potentially much bigger problem. You win wars not just by bombing but by argument, too: Churchill understood this; he characterized the enemy as evil, because they were and because it was important for the British people to understand this if they were to muster the will to see the war through. In Vietnam, the U.S. lost the rhetorical ground to Jane Fonda and co., and wound up losing the war, too. It's critical that the same thing does not happen here. The organizations that purport to represent Muslims in North America and Europe have their own excuses for turning a blind eye to the torrent of hate from respectable sources within the Muslim world -- mosques, media, government. There's no reason why the FBI and other U.S. agencies should sign on to their fictions.

In the meantime, spare a thought for Thursday's victims, Victoria Hen, 25, and Yaakov Aminov, 46. Mr. Hadayet successfully orphaned eight children -- and a ninth on the way. Congratulations to another heroic Islamist martyr!


Let me know if you want OFF or ON my ping list!
