BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A cloud of deadly toxic gas engulfed an Iraqi town Tuesday, killing six people and leaving dozens of others choking on fumes after a tanker carrying chlorine exploded outside a restaurant. --from this news item

Who has been taking lessons to get truck-driving licenses here? Who has been monitoring the schools, monitoring the lists, monitoring the hiring, monitoring the hazmat permits? Who? And do they have any articulated basis for denying such permits to all those who claim to be adherents of the belief-system of Islam, or are they left without one, unless they can show all kinds of other evidence that may not be visible, or may not even exist, until such time as the mild adherent has a delayed charge go off in his subliminal and unfathomable-to-Infidels depths, and then acts upon that charge that goes off silently, deep within, and Infidels pay for this with their safety, their security, their lives.

Gas trucks. Gas warfare. Where has gas warfare been used? Mostly by the Germans and then the Arabs when they got their hands on it. In World War I, by the Germans against soldiers of England and France. In World War II, against the millions of Jewish men, women, and children who were not shot or beaten to death, or suffocated in those trains, or drowned alive -- those for whom that was not the prescribed manner of death were sent to be gassed.

And then, after World War II, only by Arabs. By Nasser in the Yemen in the 1960s. By Iraqi Arabs, against the Iranians, during the Iran-Iraq War. By Al Qaeda experimenters, gassing dogs, in the spirit of Mengele, in Afghanistan - just to get some idea of how Infidels might fare if given the same treatment. And now in Iraq. Why not? Anything goes, when you are conducting Jihad fi sabil Allah. Doesn't Allah know best? And wouldn't Muhammad want you not to pull any punches, but instead to pull out all the stops? Isn't the final triumph of Islam, the true branch of Islam, justification enough?
