Traitorous Bastard..."Hey Sorry That We In Al Qaeda Are Cowards And Kill Lots Of Muslims"
A post on the evil and mendacity of al Qaeda isn't exactly breaking new ground but it is kind of interesting that they seem to find the need to go a little kinder and gentler. Naturally the trot out the former American and current Dead Man Walking, Adam Gadahn.
"We express our condolences to the families of the Muslim men, women and children killed in these criminal acts," he said in the video. "And we ask Allah to have mercy on those killed and accept them as shohadaa (martyrs)."
"We also express the same in regard to the unintended Muslim victims of the mujahedeen's operations against the crusaders and their allies and puppets, and to the countless faceless and nameless Muslim victims of the murderous crusades" in Afghanistan, Pakistan's Waziristan regions and Swat Valley, and elsewhere, he said.
It is a rare example of al Qaeda offering condolences to the families of those killed in the group's own attacks.
Yeah, these brave, brave defenders of the faith are real sorry about all the 'unintended Muslim victims'. Sure they are. Perhaps Gadahn's next video could talk about al Qaeda's educational program. Right now it seems a little weak.
Between January 2006 and December 2008, 1,153 education-related attacks or threats were reported in Afghanistan, according to CARE. Such attacks have been on the rise since 2005. Last year, the number of incidents almost tripled to 670.
CARE has been working in Afghanistan since 1961 and implements education projects in 10 provinces to build community and government capacity for schooling.
Arson is the most frequent form of attack -- school buildings and tents razed to the ground. But schools have had rocket-propelled grenades lobbed into their compounds and this year, the United Nations documented 16 incidents of bombings on school premises.
Scores of Afghans, including young students, have died in such attacks.
Only 20 percent of Afghanistan's schools are for girls, but they suffered 40 percent of the attacks, an indication that much of the violence is gender-based, Kassenberg said.
"Stop teaching and running the girls' school. Otherwise you will be slaughtered." That was the message sent to a headmaster in Logar, just south of Kabul, when masked gunmen yanked him from his house one evening and beat him up.
Hopefully this idiotic bit of PR outreach by Murder, Inc. is a sign of their growing unpopularity in Afghanistan. Remember, it was the barbaric actions of the foreign fighters that helped turn the Sunnis in Anbar against AQI.
Oh and please tell me there's a Hellfire with this bastard's name on it and that it will be delivered soon. It would make a nice Christmas gift for everyone.
