Next Year In Palestine

Sixty years, they figure, is long enough. Too long, in fact. They just haven't agitated, fomented crises, tormented and attacked the state and its people sufficiently to uninstall it from the geography. Not that their collective heart isn't in that originally short-term, turned long-range project, as it most certainly is.

Imagine, a collective heart suffused with utter detestation for another people, rather than infused with the compassion for others that Islam is purported to demand of its adherents.

But there it is, yet another audio tape, an audible verbal missive from the master terrorist of Islamist fascism, encouraging Muslims to corrupt the original message and design of Muhammad, while portraying themselves as modern-day messengers of that same God.

What can you expect from an ancient Bedouin tradition that feasts on hate and the delivering of death as a divine gift to the exalted one on high?

They must know of what they speak, after all: "We will continue, God willing, the fight against the Israelis and their allies". We will not give up a single inch of Palestine as long as there is one true Muslim on earth."

What's a true Muslim, then? One supposes the throngs of Shiite Muslims in Pakistan protesting in Lahore on the occasion of Israel's 60th would qualify. Their signage of "hate America", "Crush Israel" delivers their twisted tutoring, that version of Allah's love.

Osama bin Laden appears to have realized that his deadly minions have gone a trifle too far in targeting other Muslims in their sectarian arguments about who is more deserving of Allah's love. The Sunnis in Iraq seem to have developed a stark distaste for the methodology of al Qaeda's representative militias in that misbegotten country where, at the best of times, Shia and Sunni would rather murder one another than live in tentative harmony.

Bin Laden and his extraordinary cohorts promising death to all moral malefactors denying Islam, remain ensconced between Afghanistan and Pakistan, comfortable there in the tribal mountain wildlands, where they can indulge in practising their compassion toward those of their faith.

Like Hamas, seeing nothing morally untoward in encouraging Downs Syndrome girls to wear explosive vests in populated areas ripe for death.

These courageous warriors send out Burqa-clad bombers and ten-year-old boys to commit themselves to eternity in a violent blast of flesh and sinews, committing their witless volunteers to eternal Paradise in the blessed pursuit of godliness.
