If you have a look at the preceding three stories then you could rightly be led to the conclusion that reading the press is a dangerous business. Three reputable news agencies with three different takes on the same story. Each story seems to come from reputable spokespersons in three different middle east countries. Each story shares the basic facts, but each story casts suspicion on different groups of people in different locations.
Either the journalists are beating up a story and using sources that need some review or there are other explanations for the items.
The other explanations?
All of the governments mentioned in the stories are complicit in supporting terrorists, this includes Iran, Syria, Lebanon and of course the Palestinian Authority itself. Unfortunately the terrorists themselves and their spokespersons are so disorganised that they cannot get their stories straight.
What is clear from all of the stories published to date is that another young person, who is claimed by his relatives as a devout Moslem has once again been misled into the belief that it is a good thing according to the laws of Islam to kill and maim innocent and helpless people. He has taken this advice on board and he has exploded a device which has killed some people and maimed many others.
I am afraid I do not blame the people who undertake this form of suicide bombing, I am not even sure I blame the countries that harbour the perpetrators. I do however blame those members of the Islamic clergy who have so twisted and bent the words of the Koran and the teachings of the prophet that they are able to convince otherwise intelligent young people that they are doing the work of God.
It is often said that it is God's right to exact vengeance and to punish evil doers, so let's pray that appropriate justice is meted out to those members of the clergy of any faith who preach that it is a good thing to kill and maim your neighbour and use God to justify such an action.
