Thoughts and opinions from the Rocky Mountains
From Fox News:
A quickly growing jihadist group that used Facebook to spread its radical message has been shut down by the popular Web networking site after FOXNews.com alerted the company to the group’s activities.
I have to be honest, these are the types of things I initially write off as “silly.” However, online life is real life nowadays, and it’s good to see Facebook on top of these things.
The terrorist siege in Mumbai killed 195 and wounded 295, but they were hoping for more:
Azam Amir Kasab, 21, the only terrorist to survive a raid by Indian commandos, told authorities that the attacks included 10 terrorists in a heavily orchestrated plan devised six months ago, that hoped to kill 5,000 people — targeting mostly “whites, preferably Americans and British,” the Mail reported.
It was a bloody mess, but it could’ve been so much worse.
The siege continues, and I’m not sure it’s getting any better.
Black-clad Indian commandoes raided two luxury hotels to try to free hostages Thursday, and explosions and gunshots shook India’s financial capital a day after attacks by suspected Muslim militants killed at least 119 people.

Something interesting from Arutz Sheva:
American people responsible for ‘blood of Muslims’
By WorldNetDaily Staff WriterA top commander for al-Qaida says American people are as responsible for the U.S. military’s ability to “wage war and spill the blood of Muslims” as is the American government.
“Islam does not distinguish between the American people and the American government, since both are in a state of war with Islam,” Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid said in a recent interview.

Not all Muslims are terrorists. Heck, I’d be willing to concede that the majority of Muslims in the world are looking to live a peaceful existence and mind their own business. However, there seems to be a group of people out there that don’t want religion to be considered when talking about terrorism, which is a mistake.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but the ones that are seem to do what they do out of religious zealotry. Until we accept that and try to understand that mindset, we will lose the war on terror.
This woman is going to end up dead before her time (God forbid!), but the fact that she still goes out and speaks her heart when it’d be fine to remain in hiding should earn darn near everyone’s respect!

As goest Israel …
By Lorne GunterIsrael is Western civilization’s canary in the coal mine. If Israel cannot survive, perhaps Western civilization — pluralistic, democratic, individualistic, secular, free-trading and devoted to the rule of law — will be unable to last, either.

Mr. Gunter has hit on a point most are missing: radical Islamists aren’t looking for tolerance; they’re looking for dominance.
