Mismatch between Rhetoric and Reality

On the same day that Iraqi terrorists deliberately kill dozens more Muslims, their leader announces that Iraqi terrorists don’t deliberately kill Muslims.

Following their triple suicide attack in Amman, Jordan last week, al-Qaida in Iraq have released a tape recording of their leader, al-Zarqawi, spewing bluster, lies, and even a slight note of conciliation: “People of Islam in Jordan, we want to assure you that we are extremely careful over your lives ... you are more beloved to us than ourselves…. For those Muslims who were killed, we ask God to show them mercy, for they were not targets.”

Yet the Iraqi insurgents killed 90 Muslims today, including many children, in two suicide attacks against mosques, bringing the total number of Iraqis killed in acts of suicide murder to 1,617 since the Shiite-led government took power seven months ago. Most of them were killed by al-Qaida.
