I sympathize with the innocent victims of yet another terrorist bombing. It's almost the same thing that woman about to be released in Jordan as part of a prisoner swap tried to do in Amman.

"Let the enemies of God, the crusaders and their allies await what will harm them..."

I understand that these terrorists are cynically using a particular religion to further their own agenda, but it seems like this one particular religion finds its self-proclaimed followers going ahead with murderous attacks on innocent civilians like this quite a lot? In Libya, the Philippines, Iraq, Iran, China, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Indonesia, Kenya, Thailand, Israel, France, Somalia, Nigeria...you know I could go on, and you know what I'm talking about, but you have to admit: the attacks and the self-trumpeted motivations behind the attacks are eerily similar around the world, aren't they?

This would not be happening without the misguided support of Western governments for the "Arab Spring" and in particular the Obama administration which actually conducted an illegal war against the Gadaffi government.

Now, Northern Africa is an islamist hotbed, and we have to live with that.
