 Okay, THIS act just pisses me the hell off! 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7221639.stm

If YOU want to die for your cause and take others with you, sometimes there just isn't anything we can do about that kind of crazy. But to use the mentally disabled for your plan, someone who apparently can't make the choice on their own, and to use remote detonation is beyond despicable. 

I can understand wanting to die for a cause you are passionate about.
I can even somewhat understand the need to make a statement, and take out the enemy.
I have a hard time trying to understand hurting innocents of your own people to make the statement.
But to prey upon those who can't comprehend for themselves, those who are left in our charge to take care of, and strap them with a bomb to hurt other innocents. That would have been impossible for me to conceive, until today.

I'm practically incoherent with anger and sadness at this particular action. This is no way to win hearts and minds to your side.

What defies logic is that it is against Islam for a Muslim to deliberately cause the death of another Muslim. In this case then taking advantage of someone who may not realize the nature of the act they are involved in should be the worst crime possible. All Muslims with a modicum of humanity should be enraged with this behavior that violates the very core of their religion. It seems too many believe it is justified.

What is with the "Silent Majority" of Muslims that are against these acts. Why is there not more outrage on their part?

Apparently, two terrorists managed to get into my nephew's school. A teacher shot them before they could harm anyone.

Using the mentally disabled? Going after children? I am sorry, but no matter what your cause, there are lines that are not to be crossed.

Wow that's scary. That teacher deserves an apple for sure.

Agreed. And it is very sad that there are those who willingly cross those lines more than once.

What school is this that allowed the teacher to have a gun there?

This is in Israel Kevin.

Oh -- then that makes perfect sense. Everyone should be armed there.

Well, here, too - but that's into politics.

hehe... I was wondering... if it was shock 'how dare they...' or a 'I want to know where to send my kids...' ;)

But, yes, a large percentage of the population in Israel is armed, out of necessity.

clearly we are dealing with a cowardice that knows no shame or bounds.

I didn't catch the 'mentally disabled' bit from the headlines I read earlier today. Wow.
