Islam is Peace in the Pacific Northwest

What a shocker. There we were all fully expecting some Fundy Baptist or madcapped OrthoJewDude to go to the local Sisters of Hebzollah charity and gun down 6 hijabied innocents. After all, as Pepe assured us ad nauseam, except for a tiny eeny meeny few Islam is Peace; and we freecounterpoint wackos should start paying some attention to the Evil that just makes the New Testament reek with danger to us all [if we would but smell it]. So there we were, full of keen eyed vigilance against the Bible thumpers, completely Bush-wacked by this assuredly lone and disrespected, and perhaps even impoverished by the Jew-Kapital Power Structure, troubled individual who in no way is indicative of Islam. For Islam is Love, as O'Brien taught us all.
OK. A couple of notes, this occurred right downtown Seattle, just above Pike's Market, so the Boston equivalent would be an attack near the Barnes and Noble, near old City Hall, above Faneuil. There are three mosques within a handful of blocks from that spot, one built specifically and the other two rented spaces. The largest is Sunni-Whahabi, another is Shiite, and one is attached to an Islamic "cultural" center. Since the gunman is a Pakistani immigrant [only "American-Muslim" to the same extent that Richard Pearl was a "Pakistani-Jew" ] probably he is Sunni and attached to the S-W one. Anyway, I guarantee you that there were those who knew, and approved of, what he was about to do.

AA, also don't forget: the only reason this happened is because Bush stirred everything up in the mid-East -- it has nothing to do with the House of War and House of Peace outlined in the Quran.
