Islamic Backlash

An analysis piece on some of the backlash at home against some terrorists for attacks on Islamic soil. After the attack on an oil contractor's office this last weekend:

The militants made an unusual and horrific appeal to recruit young Saudis, dragging the bloodied corpse of a Westerner through a high school parking lot and urging the students to join their Arab brethren in a holy war in Iraq.

Nice guys. What a piece of work they are. Fortunately, not all Muslims are blood thirsty tyrants:

They appear to have badly miscalculated the response: school officials said some of the boys ran from the scene crying; others spoke of nightmares.

"This is not right," said a traumatized 18-year-old. "This is un-Islamic."
