I just watched HBO's special on the Daniel Pearl kidnap and murder and I recommend that anyone who happens to read this blog, download and watch it. It made me understand the utter futility that jihadists and terrorists of all stripes should come to terms with. All of their acts of violence against innocent people is evil! You will never achieve one iota of what you hope to gain by murdering people that you perceive as your enemy. If you used all the money and all your efforts in a civilized and constructive manner you would be far better off. Their suicide bombers are thought to be brave and are promised instant paradise, but they should instead question why their handlers are not willing to sacrifice their own lives for their cause?
