5. Oh yeah, the beauty of religion rings true once again.
Whenever someone starts on my atheism by bringing up the 'richness, morality, and beauty' that religion brings to the world, I'll point them to this, and to the abortion clinic bombers, and the inquisition, and the forced conversion of native people, and..and..and...

Idiots.

6. That was pretty bizarre....
Giving the bomber exact point-by-point directions. I suspect Muhammed (the bomber in this video) isn't exactly in heaven with Allah right now.

9. BTW, in case you didn't know about MEMRI,
it's a neocon front in the business of misrepresenting the Arab world to English-only Americans.

For instance, from Juan Cole:

MEMRI was founded by a retired Israeli colonel from military intelligence, and co-run by Meyrav Wurmser, wife of David Wurmser. David Wurmser is close to the Likud Party in Israel and served in Douglas Feith's "Office of Special Plans" in the Pentagon, where he helped manufacture the case that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was linked to al-Qaeda. David Wurmser, who wants to get up American wars against both Iran and Syria, then moved over to Vice President Dick Cheney's rump national security team.

MEMRI is funded to the tune of $60 million a year by someone, and is a sophisticated anti-Arab propaganda machine. The organization cleverly cherry-picks the vast Arabic press, which serves 300 million people, for the most extreme and objectionable articles and editorials. It carefully does not translate the moderate articles. I have looked at newspapers that ran both tolerant and extremist opinion pieces on the same day, and checked MEMRI, to find that only the extremist one showed up. It would sort of be as though al-Jazeera published translations of Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Jerry Falwell on Islam and the Middle East, but never published opinion piences on the subject by William Beeman or Dick Bulliet.

12. I respect Juan Cole but, it is what it is...
a lunatic blowing himself up for Allah...

Which I, as an American, if your information is correct, am supposed to think that this is what all Muslims do.

14. I can only speculate..
The American presence MAY be the motivation.

Are you suggesting this is a propaganda film created by MEMRI?

16. Perhaps I am having trouble as to how the American presence has anything

to do with "blowing himself up for Allah".

Perhaps Amercian PROPAGANDA may be the motivation.

I have no such suggestion as to whom created this film, but just find it curious that we automatically label it "another crazy Muslim dying for Allah."

I think it is the west's way of alluding to themselves that they have the moral "high ground".

11. Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) is an AIPAC

funded forum/website...If you don't believe me check out who their directors are. Google it.

"The two founders, Meyrav Wurmser and Yigal Carmon, are right-wing Zionists. Carmon is the longtime president, while Wurmer left her position as executive director at MEMRI in early 2002 to direct the Center of Middle East Studies at the Hudson Institute.

A former CIA counterintelligence official, Vincent Cannistraro, said that “they
