U.S.: 'Demonic' militants used women as bombs in Iraq
Two mentally disabled women were strapped with explosives Friday and sent into busy Baghdad markets, where they were blown up by remote control, a top Iraqi government official said. The bombs killed at least 98 people and wounded more than 200 at two popular pet markets on the holiest day of the week for Muslims, authorities said. In both bombings, the attackers were mentally disabled women whose explosive belts were remotely detonated, Gen. Qasim Atta, spokesman for Baghdad's security plan, told state television. "By targeting innocent Iraqis they show their true demonic character," said Lt. Col. Steve Stover, spokesman for the Multi-National Division-Baghdad. "They care nothing for the Iraqi people; they want to subjugate them and forcefully create a greater Islamic sharia state," he said, referring to Islamic law.Two questions:
- How do we know they are "mentally disabled?" Because we say so?
- "Demonic?" Satan-demonic or Stover's Islamic-demonic?
This article really paints the picture that we view this as the EndTimes War: Win one for Jesus and destroy the demon-hordes who are "mentally disabled!"
Is this any way to try to live in a world with different opinions, views, traditions, beliefs....?
