There are daily reports of multiple violent attacks committed in the name of Islam taking place throughout the world. Daily. If you are not aware of this fact, then you are burying your head in the sand. You know, I'd like to tune it out or pretend life is the way it was when I was growing up, but I can't. You shouldn't either. I'm worried about the future for my children and their children. Why? There is a never ending supply of Islamists who are conditioned and trained starting around the age of 5 that threaten the world's future.
Today the Islamic attack which will take up much of the news will be the suicide bomber who killed a number of people in Rawalpindi, Pakistan after a political rally where Former Prime Minister Bernazir Bhutto has just spoken.
Bernazir Bhutto was critically injured and died in a shooting and bomb attack near the white SUV she was in as she was being driven away from the rally. She received gunshot wounds from a young man wearning sunglasses. Within seconds of the 3rd gunshot, a suicide bomber exploded his bomb which killed about 20 other people.
Moments before the attack, she was seen standing out of the sunroof of the SUV waving at the crowd.
Source: The Daily Mail. This may be the last picture ever taken of Bhutto moments before her death.
The park where Bhutto made her last speech is the same one where the country's first prime minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, was shot to death in 1951. It is named after him.
This northern city, where the military is based, is also where Bhutto's father and former prime minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was hanged in 1979. President Pervez Musharraf survived two bombing attacks here in 2003.
Earlier that year, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, was captured in Rawalpindi.
In many Muslim countries females cannot be in positions of leadership. On February 20, 2007 a female Pakistani minister, Zilla Huma Usman, was shot dead by a Muslim man, Mohammad Sarwar, who stated "I have no regrets. I just obeyed Allah’s commandment," adding that Islam did "not allow women to hold positions of leadership."
Bhutto led Pakistan from 1988 to 1990 and was the first female prime minister of any Islamic nation, was participating in the parliamentary election set for January 8, hoping for a third term.
"Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today in a suicide bombing that also killed at least 20 others at a campaign rally, a party aide and a military official said.
"At 6:16 p.m. she expired," said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto's party who was at Rawalpindi General Hospital where she was taken after the attack.
A senior military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, confirmed that Bhutto had died."
In Pakistan yesterday, police stopped a 15 year old with a bomb at a checkpoint on the way to another rally for Bhutto. I wonder if the successful bomber who killed Bhutto was a teenager, also?
Now, pay close attention to the outrage by Muslim leaders in America and worldwide that a young man, possible a teenager, who was likely raised and convinced by the teachings of the Quran to blow himself up for Islam. You could listen all day but there will be none. Oh, there will be the standard condemnation about the violence but not of the cause which led to the violence.
In Islam, those who fight and die for the sake of Allah or Islam itself are considered great Muslims who martyr themselves for their religion. In Tulsa, Oklahoma this teaching is evident at the Islamic Society of Tulsa. In their August newsletter they wrote that fighting and dying for the sake of Allah or Islam itself was a good way to die as a Muslim! Right here in the heartland of America, folks.
At another rally today for former premier Nawaz Sharif held in Islamabad, which is about 20 miles from the attack on Bhutto, 4 aides were shot and killed. This attack has largely been ignored by the media.
Could Pakistan be crumbling right before our eyes? Could this be as a result of the thousands of young boys who are taught very young in their madrassas (Islamic religious schools) their sole purpose in life is to die for the religion of peace?
Make no mistake about it, it is virtually certain Bhutto was killed by a Muslim.
