Inside the Muslim Mind

The following was taken from a strategic studies website dedicated to Middle Eastern affairs. It is a post from a Jihadist website by an unidentified Saudi Arabian government worker asking what the fastest and easiest way to blow up the American Embassy in Riyadh is:

"I know if I blow it up, I will scare the hearts of the Americans and I will cost America at least $3 million to rebuild it,” the unidentified man stated. “There might be human losses among these infidels, and there might even be causalities among Saudi soldiers. Well, that is alright since it is a war and wars claim victims.”

The Muslim goes on to rethink his idea of blowing up the embassy:

“No, no, no, I think the idea of blowing up the American Embassy is not good; it is stupid and will be a failed adventure. But this is what Osama Bin Laden did with the [World Trade Center]. I was the first one to rejoice, but then with the passage of time, I now hate Bin Laden and his acts because I believe that blowing up these towers caused such a loss to the Islamic nation — worse than any before. In six years we lost Afghanistan, Iraq, our charity organizations, media, and religious trips. The enemy kept on beating us and our clerics were humiliated, while people like Bin Laden and Nasrallah [head of Lebanese Hizbullah] are constantly praised. I really want to know what good did Bin Laden did for the [Islamic] nation.”

Sure enough, Bin-Laden has stirred up quite the hornets nest. Hopefully more Muslims will be deterred like this man. Until that happens, we must continue to fight terrorism wherever we find it. That means holding the line in Iraq.
