Paradise Operations

(h/t to North American Patroit)

Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it, "Paradise Operations", actually its Al-Jazeera's new name for suicide bombings:

Al-Jazeera, the Arab news service growing by leaps and bounds worldwide and spreading its reach into the western world, has a new name for suicide bombings – "Paradise Operations." [...]
In a story about the Russian foreign minister criticizing the Palestinian Authority for failing to combat terrorist movements, a paragraph reads: "Ariel Sharon ordered the defense minister Shaul Mofaz previously to undertake wide attacks on the movement of the Islamic Jihad, whose military wing yesterday undertook (am-ma-li-a al cha-deer-ra) operations of paradise, which killed five Israelis and injured tens of Israelis – or whoever was standing around."


Between stuff like that, Iran's call to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and the jihadists in Iraq killing mostly innocent civilians, the Arabic/Muslim world shouldn't have to wonder why they have such a PR problem.

Iran rebuked the UN Security Council resolution condemning their remarks, in part because they didn't actually call for someone to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, they just said it was a good idea. NO, I am not making this stuff up! Read it here.

If you need more arguments against appeasing folks like these, let me know the papers are full of them every day.

That is atrocious... that they would even call them that... Absolutely horrifying.

Sorry it took me so long to get by here. Nice blog, by the way.
