Juan Cole is an Idiot

NonPartyPolitics proves it by fisking his inane analysis of the “new” bin Ladin tape.

His July 24th piece also claims suicide bombings were pioneered by “the Marxist Hindu Tamil Tigers” which is a misreading this Wikipedia article which states that suicide bombings were first used by “factions” in the Lebanese civil war then adopted by the Tigers, who he conveniently iignores has long ben suspected of working with Al-Qaeda, especially helping with the first World Trade Center bombing. But that wouldn’t help him make his argument that Islam doesn’t actually approve of suicide bombings, and bin Ladin is misunderstanding the religion of peace.

Oh yeah and the tape he was using to make his sweeping statements was bogus anyway.

This is what happens when you trust a “expert” in terrorism who veers so hard to the left. You get all the wrong information, and the terrorists get a hopefully unwitting ally who will steer us directly into another 9-11.
