I wonder why these nutjobs dont just use automatic weapons to gun down everything that moves.
Could probably get a higher bodycount that way.
But then again terrorists dont seem to be the smartest people around most of the time...
If they did that they might be taken alive, if they die "fighting the infidel" they are guaranteed 72 virgin camels and goats.
Not to jump to conclusions about the attacker's religion or whatever. :rolleyes:
True, but they could also carry a bomb belt on a timer just in case they get killed/injured or otherwise disabled...
Oh well, not like im complaining that they are bad at what they do lol.

If you weren't an idiot you would see that people tend to run and scatter when they here gunfire which would make the suicide pretty damn pointless since nobody would be around to blow up.
Heh, point taken.
So it was Muslims, but white Muslims this time.
Islam isn't a race, it's a mental illness that can only be cured by extermination.
