Things are a bit slow in Iraq

Al-Qaeda in Iraq has just offered a bounty for the murder of the Sweedish cartoonist who drew pictures of the Prophet Muhammed with a bomb on his head.

I find this type of action absolutely hilarious. Has this guy been living in a cave? No, because he's not Bin Laden and not in Afghanistan, therefor he should have relised that these were printed 2 YEARS AGO. It's ancient, fucking history.

Terrorists are among the most fucktarded people ever. This goes across all groups, from all extremes for all causes. Terrorists really don't know what they're doing, and this is a wonderful example of just that. Furthermore, I love the whole cause and effect in this particular issue, proving the point.

September the 11th: Terrorists fly planes into buildings killing thousands.
Our response: We draw a cartoon satirising them.
Thier response: We must die for our opinion, belief and attempt at a little humour.

This is like the dumbest game of game of blow for blow ever (I am of course reffering here to the arm punching game, not any other type of "blowing" game) whereby they bomb us (seriously, get the "blow for blow" image out of your minds), we make a joke, we then get bombed back, or get bounties placed upon us.

This is what I call a disproportionate response. It's like saying good morning to the first person you meet, then getting offered use of thier body for the next 10 years.

It's not just limited to Al-Qaeda- for 2 reasons. First, any terrorist group is made of hotheads. People who are always convinced that they are right. This not only means that they are certainly wrong, but that any slight difference in opinion causes splinter groups and a disorganised network of thicko's who can't even mix up hydrogen peroxide and flour to make a simple bomb, as they're too busy with thier head stuck up some unexplored part of Abu Hamza's ass looking for non-exsistent virgins (giving the terrorist a much needed lobotomy from the hook screwed to the inside of his rectal cavity)

Second, terrorist groups are always extreme. Extremism is never the majority view or opinion by default, as that's not the way the reciprocal altruism of human conscience normally works. As such, you get lots of idiots who are loud with weapons dominating the kinder, more thoughtful, but ultimately spineless masses into submission. Another example are the cornish nationalist terrorists.

Now, apart from the hilarity of an Al-Qaeda style video in Cornish, ultimately, the idea of Cornwall wanting independence from England when it's been part of us for over 1 thousand years is ludicrous. There economy of tourism and packing holiday fudge (literally, not metaphorically) is all that keeps it alive, so destroying tourism and going back to farming turnips on godforsaken cliffs and mining tin under the ocean to scrape a peasents exsistence isn't smart. Further proof that the terrorists aren't either.

At the end of the day, global terrorism is less of a threat than we think. It will never have the strength to destroy rational masses. Particularly when attempted by an irrational minority.

All I can say is bring it cornwall. Your Jihad combine harvester doesn't scare me.
