Islamic Fighters to the Rescue
If I were a cynical person I would have thought this was a publicity stunt. A stunt that could have been created or that could be opportunistic…if I was a cynical person.
*disclaimer: I know all Islamic fighters are not part of al-Qaeda but…I imagine a conversation among the upper level members of al-Qaeda going something like this.
Person 1: People hate us.
Person 2: Yeah.
Person 1: We need good press.
Person 2: Yeah. . . but everyone thinks we’re extremist radicals that don’t care about the average person.
Person 1: We’ll find something to do people will like
Person 2: Got any ideas?
As a matter of fact…..
Plot A Let’s get in the piracy business. We can fun our operations and then we can go in and save the day earning some much needed good publicity.
Plot B Look at all of the ships being hijacked. That’s a pretty good idea except they are stealing from other Muslims…. This is a great opportunity! We’ll move in, save the tanker, and look like heroes garnering much needed good publicity.
I can’t think of much good press that begins with “Islamic fighters’ can you? This is a fantastic opportunity for them to show the world that they are responsible and caring neighbors. Yeah, I know I read/watch too much mystery and intrigue but you have to admit…as a plot it doesn’t suck.
heh, if I was a cynical person…. oh well I’ll just cut through the bulls*** — I am.
I spent some time in a Muslim country last year and they (Muslims) are just as radical as the Christians who live in my small town. Most are just good, ordinary people just trying to live their lives and raise their kids.
