And now the obvious joke:

"Wait, people mourn the deaths of lawyers?"

This has been your obvious joke.

Double-posting. Gotta love having an itchy left-mouse-button finger.

"If I have to talk about Islamic violence I have to talk about Christian violence. Every day in the newspapers I see violence in Italy, someone kills his girlfriend, another kills his mother-in-law, and these are baptized Catholics."

Pope Francis

Of course there's no political motive behind the Pakistani Taliban bombing Pakistani targets because they're angry that the military turned on them. No, it's all Islam, because Islam.

Given your interest in this subject, and your desire to distance this event from Islam, might I propose the following?

Next time someone, who is not expressly a follower of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), dons a suicide vest, enters a hospital, and kills upwards of a hundred people, please post that to this board.

Until then, perhaps you, and the good pope Franky, could go easy on the “Nothing to do with Islam” schtick. It’s wearing thin, and there are much better propagandists than you and he already out there flogging it (so to speak).

Prior to their defeat in 2009, the LTTE carried out suicide attacks not disssimilar to this. They weren't Muslim.
