I know that there are some folks whose opposition of the war in Iraq ends up with them somehow equating the insurgents and in some cases Al Qaida as “freedom fighters”, etc., however, these guys are the MOST BASE COWARDS. Simple as that.
Case in point the following, from the Boston Herald, here is an excerpt:
“Two mentally retarded women strapped with remote-control explosives - and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers - brought carnage yesterday to two pet bazaars, killing at least 91 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.
The coordinated blasts - coming 20 minutes apart in different parts of Baghdad - appeared to reinforce U.S. claims al-Qaeda in Iraq may be increasingly desperate and running short of able-bodied men willing or available for such missions.” But they also served as a reminder that Iraqi insurgents are constantly shifting their strategies in attempts to unravel recent security gains around the country. Women have been used in ever greater frequency in suicide attacks...
...Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, Iraq’s chief military spokesman in Baghdad, said the women had Down syndrome and may not have known they were on suicide missions. He said the bombs were detonated by remote control.”
Damn, is their no end to the lack of regard for humanity that the insurgents have? News Flash, if the insurgents really just want the US gone, they might want to stop killing people and let the Iraqi government work? But what they really want is an excuse to KILL PEOPLE, because at base they are murdering psychotic sociopaths that use their religion as an excuse to do the evil that is in their hearts, simple as that.
It’s not just them, all over the world for a variety of political / religious / MONETARY reasons, people in groups kill innocent people with impunity, as people of the same “political / religious and or monetary dispositions” either excuse the savageness of murderers based on stupid ideological reasons, or stand by and do nothing to reign in these monsters. The Muslim world is going to have to speak up about these types of injustices, simple as that, or these maniacs will be the public face of Islam. I’m just saying…
Yes, they are beyond bad people!!! This act alone is really beyond words.

@Gina:
Thanks for coming through!
I would say that this sin't religious zealtry, this is pure and simple sociopathic misogyny. The people who do this crap kill Muslims without pause.
These people are sociopaths that enjoy killing and terror. These women were worthless to these guys, twice worthless, as they were women and not even breeding material as far as these nuts were concerned.
