Stupidity of Islamic Terrorism

In this AP News article by Ibrahim Barzak and Amy Teibel, a second rocket attack on Israel occurred again from Lebanon. Thankfully no Israelis were injured.

What's interesting about this article though is the fact that Israel is currently conducting an operation in Gaza to route Hamas and decimate their ability to launch mortars and rockets into Israel. In case the Lebanese Terrorists haven't paid attention, Hamas is getting wiped out. Perhaps it's arrogance from their 2006 war with Israel that Lebanese Terrorists believe they can attack Israel, but I call it stupidity.

I know the Muslim world is outraged over the current operation in Gaza, but do they ever stop to think about what Muslims are doing to bring this on themselves? For over two years Hamas launched rockets and mortars into Israel and Israel did nothing. Finally Israel launches an attack, and the Muslim world is outraged. Iran's Ayatollah issued a religious decree called a Fatwa declaring "the purchase of any Israeli goods or trade with Israeli companies to be forbidden." Osama bin Laden in this AP News article "urged Muslims to launch a jihad against Israel."

You can read throughout the AP News article about how targets are hit that contain Hamas' weapons caches in graveyards, in homes, in schools, etc. Yet Hamas does not stop firing the rockets and mortars. Israel's demands are simple, stop the rocket and mortar attacks and end the smuggling of weapons from Egypt to Gaza. How can the Muslim world oppose these demands? I think Muslims refusal to think rationally is caused by their irrational hatred of the Jews and thus they can't make rational decisions. I think any rational person can discriminate between indiscriminate firing of rockets and mortars into Israel killing random civilians and the targeted killing of Hamas Terrorists and their weapons cache and the unfortunate collateral damage that results.
