I cannot seem to get enough of this one

She is so beautiful and the song just speaks to my heart.

Consider it an open thread.

    [suicide bombing] is at least sometimes justified…”

    “… [Al Qaeda] recruits would fill out forms describing
    their health, age, family, and education.

    Religiosity was also measured, with recruits asked
    how much of the Qu’ran they had memorized.”

    “Pornographic files are commonly found on the computers captured when terrorists are arrested or killed—including the computers captured when terrorists are arrested or killed—including computers found in the Bin Laden compound.

    Nor are animals safe: a sniper rifle sight using thermal imagery captured two Taliban fighters satisfying themselves with a donkey.”

    ======================
    Islamic law is the law of the land in Saudi Arabia, and religious officials have tremendous sway over daily life.

    Textbooks in Saudi schools denigrate nonbelievers and the West and extol martyrdom.

    For example, Time magazine reported that
    “an 8th grade book states that Allah cursed Jews and
    Christians and turned some of them into apes and pigs.

    Ninth-graders learn that Judgment Day will not come
    “until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.”

    A chapter for a 10th-grade class warns Muslims
    against befriending non-Muslims saying,
    “It is compulsory for Muslims to be loyal
    to each other and consider the infidels their enemy.”

    “Because their legitimacy is linked to their image as champions of Islam, Saudi leaders step gingerly in the world of Islamist politics and have been hesitant to oppose jihadist causes.”

    ======================
    “The United States has poured billions of dollars
    into Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts…

    Much of the money went to buy conventional
    military equipment for the constant struggle
    with India, and thus did little to help
    Pakistan to fight Al Qaeda or other jihadists.

    Corrupt officials siphoned off much of the aid,
    and the money did not significantly improve
    Pakistan’s ability to fight terrorism.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT: Expecting Pakistan to fight against Muslim terrorism is like expecting the KKK to fight for the civil rights of African-Americans. Expecting Pakistan to fight against Muslim terrorism is like expecting neo-Nazis to fight for the civil rights of Jews.
