@Jozef
Thanks for sharing the URLs. This is truly horrific.

And yet we enjoy dulling our senses with ice buckets, Angelina Jolie, and push backs to avoid thinking and facing the real issues.

As to the Al Qaeda disclaimer, I don&#039;t believe it. IS is a test run by Al Qaeda, a splinter cell to make sure the entire body remains in tact if someone takes IS out.

George Vella says there is no direct action that Malta can take. How about urging the EU and the US to eradicate the bastards?]]></description>

A few days ago, I tweeted (oh yes) something to effect that medieval caliphates, including Sicily (and therefore Malta), were vastly more enlightened that the modern-day Islamo-nerdfest. 

So I would welcome a return to dhimmi status (Wettinger and Fiorini please note). Malta back then was something of an intellectuals&#039; idyll, bar the occasional Byzantine amphibious op.

We Maltese are excellently placed to understand ISIS. If MZPN and Pulse were Muslims, that&#039;s exactly what they&#039;d produce (an uncultured nerddom).]]></description>

Well, not really, extreme harm in this case is being wrought on every man, woman and child out there.

Perhaps the bishop might care to speak out. A lone priest ostracised instead. Islamophobic they said, duh. 

Time to specify which Islam, if we have to engage the usual toing and froing between religion of peace and this indescribable horror.  

Taqqiya anyone? Makes an integral part of tradition that.]]></description>

Oh well, as long as the kids of Rotherham were Pakistanis, any intervention is not for us to determine. 

Talk about sweeping statements. Even Al Qaeda issued a disclaimer. 

Enjoy. So it&#039;s a Catholic fundamentalist website. 

http://www.catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56481

How sweet to slaughter women Halal style, stripped to her bare flesh of course, dehumanising her. Who said evil doesn&#039;t sublime form? 

They&#039;re blatant, film everything and gleefully put it out on the net to challenge the whole planet. 

What they&#039;re doing is gloat at our keyboard offensive. Images censored lest we&#039;re shocked.]]></description>

They intend to restore the Caliphate, that means Sicily and Malta too. But that is no reason to say Gaddaffi was the better option. Countries revolting from autocratic rule regularly descend into chaos before democratic institutions are laid down and adopted. Look at revolutionary France as an example. In the end they will be better for it, but inevitably they will bleed.]]></description>
