Another Candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize

Dr. Azzam Tamimi...What, never heard of him before? Well, that could be because you are not a psycho facist terrorist or a news hound like us. Either way you should know this name as he has some very interesting and disturbing things to say about these difficult days and the struggles that Muslims find themselves in currently. Dr. Tamimi for instance believes that it is just to die for one's faith. Not too radical an idea eh? I mean faith is something that many Christians have died for over the ages right? The problem is that he draws no distinction between dying for your faith and murdering innocent people in the process. He says in fact, that he was prepared to be a suicide bomber if the opportunity arose. He said that sacrificing himself for Palestine was a noble cause. "It is the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity." The good doctor believes that murdering people in the process of commiting suicide is the "straight path" to God, and contrastly believes that evil would be to "rub shoulders with Bush and Blair" most likely in protest to negotiating with the west to find some middle ground.

The cause of terrorism reminds me of a person currently in my life, not by choice but by consequence. Her existence revolves around keeping attention on her plight, and focus of the cause on other mostly innocent parties around her. The queer thing about her is that in order for things to be "ok" some drama has to exist. If none exists, she will make some out of thin air in order to keep her world nominal and accomplish the above. Most of the time the source of the drama is some action taken in haste for immediate gain or some other such thing. Similarly, the terrorist must always have an enemy to justify its existence. Whether it be Israel, the US, Britan ,etc... there will never be any peace because in order to survive they need war and tension. Contrary to what some believe, when left alone and to their own devices they will still vilanize anyone in their path that does not agree absolutely and enable there activities. That is why "taking the fight to the terrorists", as George Bush is so fond of saying, is important. Put simply, they will not stop if we do. They will only move purposely into another stage of drama and strife and in order to justify it will find fault in even the best circumstances.

So is this guy Tamimi a radical Islamic cleric from Pakistan or Iran? Is he a militant fighting US occupation in Iraq? No this guy is your next door neighbor, this guy is your daughter's friends father. He is a british citizen with three children and a wife living in the suburbs of North West London. So take careful note of Dr. Tamimi, just one more in a line of martys and insane Muslims bent on killing you, your family and anyone else that gets in the way of his "cause". He is not alone and he and his ilke are not going away anytime soon.
