Why do the Easily Offended stay conspicuously silent when Moslems defile Islam? Fighting from mosques, blowing up mosques, using mosques to store explosives and arms, and other mosque-related offenses don't even make the Easily Offended utter a single word of concern.
So this latest won't cause anybody to question the motives of the terrorists in Iraq when they attacked a funeral procession:
Gunmen yelled at Salwa Saihoud, the driver and four elderly passengers to get out. "Some of them were screaming 'shoot them! Shoot them now!'" she recalled.
The seven gunmen hurried into the minibus and drove off, taking with them the six men. They included the late Saihoud's two sons — Saad, 30 and father of two, and Adel, a 37-year-old who could not hear or speak and had two children.
It was the last time the family saw them alive.
A day later, police fished the coffin of 70-year-old Saihoud from the Latifiyah river. The next day, the six men were found with gunshot wounds to the head and neck. Some of the bodies were mutilated.
...
The Saihouds were particularly distressed about the mutilation of the bodies, especially that of 30-year-old father of four Walid Khayoun. His right arm, bearing a tattoo of Imam Ali's sword, was cut off.
But no, hacking and slaughtering never seems to mark the hackers and slaughterers as disrespectful of Islam. I mean, if a few jihadi terrorists think that they are the true believers (although Mahmoud is a little suspicious, as far as the first two are concerned. They once spotted him practicing his Moon Walk when he thought he was alone), who are the Easily Offended to object?
The Shia have been very patient, all things considered. The Sunnis best hope that the Sunni insurgency is quelled before the Shias get angry enough to apply their full power to vengeance instead of building a new and democratic Iraq.
And the best way for the Sunnis to join Iraq is to join forces with the Shias and Kurds to destroy the foreign Sunni jihadis in a war of national resistance.
