Al Azhar: Killing Bin Laden Will Not Stop Terrorism
The killing of Osama Bin Laden will not end terrorism, a practice that above all stems from “excessive” Israeli practices.
First off, Islamic terrorism was a fact of life long before modern day Israel ever existed. Ergo said “Israeli practices” are irrelevant and merely a smoke screen with respect to the real motivations behind Islam’s genocidal doctrine and endless violence.
Secondly, while “killing Bin Laden will not stop terrorism”, slamming a dozen cruise missiles into al Azhar “university” during its peak operating hours would most certainly put a crimp in global jihad.
From its infected bowels, al Azhar has churned out such notable “students” as Yusuf “Beat Your Wife Lightly” Qaradawi, who is widely regarded as the “pope” of Islam and is the person who singlehandedly crafted language that sanctifies bomb vest murderers.
Preventing this Islamic hive from excreting any more such “pupils” will go a long way towards choking off a primary orifice for the extrusion of jihadist imams.
The sooner, the better.
3 Billion? Sure, why not? Pocket change for Obama…
