perfidy

For the week ending 11Oct04:

Spotlight Sinai: At least thirty are dead and well over 100 injured following three bombings at two resort hotels in the Egyptian Sinai near the Israeli border. Most of the victims were Israelis on vacation. A previously unknown group, Jama'a Al-Islamiya Al-Alamiya (World Islamist Group) claimed responsibility, but our old pals Al Qaida are now the most likely suspects according to US, Israeli and Egyptian security forces, with possible connections to Palestinian groups or domestic Egyptian Islamic terrorists (the ones who did the Luxor hit back in the late nineties.) Names that have surfaced in the discussion include bin Laden's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri and Jordanian cum-Iraqi Al Qaida terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi.

It seems that the Islamic terrorist world is linking arms and standing shoulder to shoulder to fight both the Little Satan and the Great Satan. One could almost think this great coming together - this laying down of internal disputes to fight the common enemy - was a noble thing if it didn’t involve the surprise bombing of innocents. I think that the terrorists are going to continue to have a serious public relations problem. Maybe a little nonviolent resistance would get them sympathy from people outside the Chomskyite left.

Spotlight Iraq: Briton Kenneth Bigly was unsurprisingly beheaded by yet another group of Islamic funlovers. It seems as though Bigley made a last ditch effort to escape but didn’t make it out. Several Turks were also beheaded this week, showing that Islamic fundamentalism is essentially nihilistic, and will attack anything that looks at it funny.

Spotlight Spain: In what is described as a “fit of cannibalism” (as opposed to the chronic, continuing cannibalism) British ex-robber Paul Durant killed, dismembered and ate British tourist Karen Durrell. Said Durant,

"Before I killed Karen I told her I had come to Spain where I was going to kill and eat pedophiles. My mental stage was breaking down at this stage. I believed God had delivered her to me…"

As laudable as his desire to end paedophilia is, we can only conclude that his mission was tragically unsuccessful.

Spotlight Hanoi: Distressed that former colonial subjects the Vietnamese are no longer speaking French, French President Jacques Chirac has declared that the world’s cultures are in danger of being “choked” by the American cultural hegemony. Likening this to an ecological holocaust, Chirac warned that the loss of global cultural diversity would be a “catastrophe.” Therefore, he argued, the French are right to stand up to the brutish Americans, and continue to consume American movies, jeans, cigarettes, music, cars and TV in huge quantities. To counteract the threat of a French cultural resurgence, we should expand the successful EuroDisney program, and build a Disneyworld in every single fucking French City, town, hamlet and village.

[wik] All of this puts France below Singapore – which while only the size of a piece of snot, is worth significantly more than a heaping pile of shit.

Spotlight Egypt: Back to the surreal and twisted world of the Religion of Peace, an Egyptian Intellectual has accused former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of planning the 9/11 attacks. Sadly, these confused ravings are more common than many in the western media will ever admit.
