MORE OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS – AT 7:31 P.M. ET: Warlike words in the city of peace from a representative of the "religion of peace." Another reminder from the real world – not the world of political correctness – of what we're up against:
An imam from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem vowed to take revenge over "the western dogs" for killing
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on Sunday.
In a Youtube video uploaded by the imam he said: "The western dogs are rejoicing after killing one of our Islamic lions. From Al-Aqsa Mosque, where the future caliphate will originate with the help of God, we say to them – the dogs will not rejoice too much for killing the lions. The dogs will remain dogs and the lion, even if he is dead, will remain a lion."
Great wisdom, deeply thought out. We must understand other cultures, mustn't we?
The imam then verbally attacked US President Barack Obama saying: "You personally instructed to kill Muslims. You should know that soon you'll hang together with Bush Junior."
"We are a nation of billions, a good nation. We'll teach you about politics and military ways very soon, with god's help," he vowed.
Some two dozen Palestinians gathered in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday to pay tribute to slain al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
About 25 people holding pictures and posters of bin Laden rallied outside a Gaza City university. The crowd included al-Qaeda sympathizers as well as students who said they opposed bin Laden's ideology, but were angry at the US for killing him and consider him a martyr.
Hamas police did not interfere in the demonstration.
COMMENT: Now maybe President Obama will learn what it's like to deal with this kind of irrationality, as President Bush learned. We assume it will have an impact.
