Al Qaeda Targets Israel is Next, Comments on Gender Roles

Al Qaeda in Iraq is celebrating their mass murder in Jordan by threatening Israel:


A Web statement Friday in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq, claiming the deadly hotel bombings in Amman, Jordan, included a threat to Israel, Jordan’s western neighbor. The statement noted that Jordan, which it described as Israel’s “buffer zone,” was now “within range” and “it will not be long before raids by the mujahedeen come” to Israel itself. The statement said that the attacks in Amman were carried out by four Iraqis, including a husband and wife “who chose to accompany her husband to his martyrdom.”

She gladly accompanied her Islamist husband to his martyrdom – as if she had a choice, as if the existence of a widow in the Muslim world is something worth calling a life at all.

UPDATE: Experts are almost unanimous: if Al Qaeda could, they definitely would kill Jews in Israel. What would we do without experts?
