Just time for two items from this morning's news headlines.
Item: 59 dead in Kenya mall attack - An upscale Nairobi shopping mall is now entering its second day under a violent siege that killed 59 "non-Muslims"... so far. A militant Islamist group called al-Shabaab -- Somalis linked to al-Qaeda -- has claimed responsibility for the assault, which targeted non-Muslims. Witnesses say Muslims were told to stand up and identify themselves, after which they were told to get out of the building before the shooting started.
Israeli "advisers" are said to be hunkered down with Kenyan forces this morning, figuring out how to flush out the radical Muslims still holding hostages inside the mall. When it comes to dealing with crazed Muslims, who ya gonna call?! Don't count on the Hindus or the Christians!
Item: Muslim attackers kill 60 in attack on Pakistani Christian church - The Pakistan wing of the Taliban is ahead of al-Shabaab by one, after a pair of suicide bombers detonated powerful explosives outside a historic church in northwestern Pakistan today. Over 60 people worshippers were killed in the deadliest-ever attack on the country's Christian minority.
The bombing at All Saints Church in Peshawar wounded another 120 people. The Associated Press report underlines the threat posed by Islamic extremists as the Pakistani government seeks a peace deal with domestic Taliban militants. AP says it will likely intensify criticism from those who believe that negotiating peace with militants is a mistake. [Shome mishtake, surely! Ed.]
Anyone besides Walt see a pattern here? Does the word "jihad" mean anything to anyone? Maybe it is time to unleash the Israelis!
