It would be nice to believe that terrorism doesnt work but I kind of think it does. At least it works in the respect that if somebody wants to blow themselves and lots of innocent people up that person can do it almost anywhere they choose to. As far as terrorism achieving specific goals thats more of a mixed bag. The train bombings in Spain worked real swell in getting Spanish troops out of Iraq. The train bombings in England though Idont think thats going to. The English are more POd than scared and I think theyll stick it out.
The best example of terrorism not working of course is the nineeleven attacks. Osama Bin Laden by all accounts wanted to get the US out of the MidEast and most specifically out of Saudi Arabia and boy did that not work out the way he wanted. There are moreUS troops in the MidEast than ever more than he could have dreamed of and his buddies in the Taliban are out in the hills with their wonderful Islamic government a memory.
Also of course these terrorists attacks have Palestinian rights as a cause but again I think its shooting themselves in the foot because all the terrorist violence in Israel brought about the election of hardliner Ariel Sharon and he was the worst news they could have hoped for. He started building fences wherever he felt like shrinking their promised state drawing the borders exactly where he thought they should be. This was after he sent in troops to occupy their territories.
Nice guy hey But they gave him the pretext that he needed to behave like the barbarian that he is. So they deserve a bit of the blame for that.
The Palistinians will get a state of sorts. Eventually. But it wont make them happy and thats not what they want anyways. What they really want and have always wanted was for all the jews to disappear from the face of the Earth. And Brother thats not going to happen.
Now when nineeleven first happened comedian Bill Maher made the statement that what the hijackers had done was courageous and they were not the cowards that every one said they were. Bill Maher promptly got fired from his job as host of the show Politically Incorrect. But his point was technically what these men did sacrificing their livesfor a cause they believed was greater than themselves qualified as courageous.
Hes wrong of course but I cant definitively in my own mind explain why. Do I think what they did is cowardly because of the target innocent people working in New York For example if someone thought that bunnies were evil and blew themselves up while killing bunnies would it be courageous Yes thats the silliest example I can think of but the bunny killer is sacrificing his life. Isnt he And many people think God or Allah is a fictitious creation like evil bunnies. (Not me. Some people). So is there an equivelancy of sorts
OR are these terrorists cowardly as an organization The organization is hiding in the bushes and as an organization is not putting itself at risk. The leaders certainly are hiding out and not putting themselves at too much risk. Osama Bin Laden sure hasnt been putting his money where his mouth is by strapping on a bomb and marching into the Whitehouse has he Hes been hiding his hairy butt out in the mountains of Pakistan getting fat on Baclava and falafel while poor Abdul gets himself blown up for Allah.
And thats another thing. If you really really believe that you earn yourself paradise and seventy two virgins for all eternity by doing this what are you risking A lot of young men living in the hot slums of Baghdad would look at this as a small price to pay for what they get in return. I did read somewhere that virgins was actually a mistranslation for raisins and boy if that turned out to be the case and I were a recently martyred terrorist I would feel pretty ripped off. Instead of an eternity of hot sex with nubile young maidens I get a box full of dried grapes Lovely.
Id considered converting to Islam at one time but just had too many questions about the virgin situation. Like who chooses It would be a drag if you got seventy two homely ones till the end of time wouldnt it And are they the same ones all along or do you rotate them Youd think that after you finished with one she wouldnt be a virgin anymore. So youd have to get fresh ones. And what if youre married Is your wife with you forever and what on Earth is she going to say about your new stable of virgins She might be a little ticked on that one I would think.
Does she get her own stable of seventy two virgins Fair is fair. If you get seventy two I think your wife should too. Somehow I dont think itwould be so much of a treat for her though to have all of these nervous gawky teenage boys with sparse mustaches who last thirty seconds in bed. I imagine shed want experienced men and for that matter what man wouldnt really prefer experienced women
Where exactly is Allah getting all of these dead virgins anyways I refuse to believe that for every pious Muslim male that goes to paradise thereare going to be seventy two young dead pure women who meet the qualifications. Some time there has got to be a shortage. It just goes to figure.
And is this supposed to be paradise for these lucky virgins They get to spend eternity as the sex slave of a terrorist as their reward for a life of humble deprivation Oh please. I think these young women are better served to party their little hearts out because for them Muslim Hell can hardly be any worse than Muslim paradise.
