United Nations Presides Over Barbaric Photo Op

Fri, Jul 21, 2006 at 6:04:39 pm PDT

WARNING. GRAPHIC IMAGES.

On the following page at Getty Images, you can see photographs of a nightmarish photo opportunity apparently held with the approval of United Nations peacekeepers (UN flags are everywhere in the pictures) on July 15, 2006 in Tyre, Lebanon, as men identified as “Lebanese civil defense workers” manhandle mutilated bodies, dragging them out of body bags and holding them up by their ankles like sides of beef, so that photographers can take pictures—obviously for propaganda purposes.

This is what the United Nations does behind the scenes in Lebanon. It’s grotesque to the point of absolute obscenity.

Mainstream media didn’t carry these photos. Don’t view them unless you have a very strong stomach.

I’m not kidding.

Getty Image Results.

In case the link stops working for some reason, here’s a direct link to one of the photos. Remember, don’t click this link if you have any doubt about your ability to handle it. I feel quite sick after seeing it myself—sick, and coldly furious at the United Nations for their enabling of such evil. Here.

I viewed them, they are indeed sick and sad. The media will have a heyday with this, expect them to appear on all aztlan, answer, and other socialist blogs in the US shortly.

I still strongly support Israel in all they do, and support destruction of Hezbollah, and support freedom from hizbollah, Iran, and Syria for Lebanon. I want my grandchildren to be able to go there as tourists someday in the future.

I'm in the middle of the usual WW III update, will be popping in and out.

Let this be a Lebanese war. If the Cedar Revolution is going to be finally realized, then Hizballah will have to be rooted out, burnt, and forbidden to ever again participate in the Lebanese government. After all, the Nazi Party didn't get to resume its place in the government of post-war West Germany, so neither should these filthy murderers get to take their place in Lebanon.

Unfortunately, the Shia civilians in the south are inextricably linked to their support of this wretched "Party of God."

Long live Israel!

AFP
US troops kill five, including child, in Iraq raid

BAQUBA, Iraq (AFP) - US troops in
Iraq killed two suspected insurgents, two women and a child when they called in air support during a raid on an alleged hideout north of Baghdad, a military statement said.

A further 23 people, including several more women and children, were wounded in the assault, which the US said targeted "terrorists associated with senior al-Qaida in Iraq network members."

An Iraqi police officer had earlier said US troops killed six people in the raid northwest of Baquba, and an AFP photographer saw six bodies in the city's hospital following the operation.

"As the troops began to secure the area, they received small arms fire from the rooftop of one of the initial target buildings," the US statement said, adding that soldiers had shouted warnings before calling in air support.

"The troops secured the area using a combination of aerial and ground fire... We regret that civilians are hurt or killed while coalition forces search to rid Iraq of terrorism," it added.

Mohammed Omar, a resident of the area, said that local guards had opened fire on the US soldiers thinking they were insurgents.

The US military has been repeatedly criticized for killing Iraqi civilians, the most notable case being November's alleged rampage by Marines in Haditha in the western Al-Anbar province in which 24 civilians were killed. ...


Bias?

34 realwest  Fri, Jul 21, 2006 4:25:59pm

35 Live4Truth  Fri, Jul 21, 2006 4:26:18pm

Geeze. They handle and display the remains in such an inhuman way ("human" meaning as we understand it, where individual people have value and dignity, and should be treated as such, even in death). They really don't care about each other, do they? Each person's value is limited to how he fits into the larger group. To them, individuals have no intrinsic value, Muslims included (not including propaganda value, but that's back to value-to-the-group, not individual value).

Ghouls.

The UN stood by in silence as hundreds of thousands were slaughtered in Rwanda.

The UN stood by in silence as hundreds of thousands are being slaughtered in Sudan.

The UN stands by as terrorists conduct raids against member states and even sip tea with terrorists, fly flags, and otherwise hinder member nations from taking action to protect themselves as necessary.

What does the UN Blue Helmet do?

It rapes refugees in its care.
It sets up sex shops for its workers.
It embezzles monies meant for relief.
It condones genocide by not uttering the key phrase - this is genocide when hundreds of thousands are slaughtered everywhere from Rwanda, Congo, to Sudan, Iraq (under Saddam) and elsewhere.

And the sad fact is that this represents the last best hope for the Left... This is what they think should lead us into a bright shiny future (although their idea of a bright shiny future and mine are two different things).

Those pictures are absolutely awful, but I think it's important to see them. As a war supporter I find it to be my responsiblity to face it's results and realities.

I blame Hezballah for all of the death and destruction in Lebanon right now. They're fighting a war while hiding amongst civilians and then using the civilian deaths as propoganda all with the help of the UN.

The whole thing is repulsive. The UN needs to be destroyed.

Given that the UN has collaborated with Hezbollah in kidnapping Israeli soldiers and has otherwise taken sides against Israel, none of this surprises me. What surprises me is that the USA still finances this terrorist supporting agency.

Nonmember terrorist groups get better treatment at the UN than does Israel, a member nation. The UN, with corrupt Kofi in charge, is also terrorist supporting organization. Israel knows them as an enemy. We should too.

I'm so glad THIS media and our country didn't have to see photos during WWII. The person writing the captions must have Allah's instant CSI working for them, they are telling us how they died without having Women wearing low-cut shirts examining the evidence. Feh

Try to get in as many shitty comments as you can. I have a funny feeling your football is getting ready to go flat.

Let me see if I can explain this to you. Normally it isn't required to explain but with someone of limited intellect sometimes it is necessary.

We recognize what high explosives can do a human body. Charles finds it degrading that they would use a corpse to further their cause of victimhood while they're launching bombs into Israel - the true victims.

My question to you is what is to be gained by showing a little girl blown in half? I guess with guys like you it would be okay if she were Jewish?

I looked at the images. There were about five corpse pictures. Of those, one was an old man, and it was simply lying on a tarp, with no one around. All the others were young females, and they were all surrounded by males. The female corpses were being displayed in a very disgusting manner, with onlookers.

I don't shock easily, and the pictures did not shock me, but they disgusted me - not because they were corpses - because these people, who are supposed to be professionals, were handling them in a very insulting, disgusting way that I found repugnant.

I also wonder why they held and displayed females for maximum exposure in this manner. If it were anywhere but a Muslim area, I'd say they were perverts. Guess they're just doing what they always do - grabbing body parts, creating body parts, putting people at risk, and then dipping their hands in the blood.

This is the world that Kofi and his pals accept. It's their world, and they do nothing to change it (Rwanda, anyone?).

Kofi, however, enjoys living in his Sutton Place digs provided by our tax dollars.

And I doubt that Kofi, or any of his pals, will return to their hellish homelands when their tenure is up.

Every day I read about the UN's "moral authority". People around the world place their hope in the UN. It's their God, and that is the problem...

The US continues to participate in this travesty as a major financial underwriter. Perhaps it is worth the price to keep tabs on these bastards, but I doubt it.

72 sunny  Fri, Jul 21, 2006 4:40:55pm

No offense to anyone...but

Propaganda is war. Political victory is just as good as military( in the eayes of the enemy). Who did you think was being killed? Are you offended that the pictures are showing the "fruits" of war, or are you upset at the source?

I don't really understand. What did you think was happening?

Most here at LGF were gung-ho about the bombing (including me). I want the IDF to kill all terrorists that threaten them. I want the US to back Israel until its done.

But to sit there and be offended by the pictures of war, I just don't get it. If you don't have a stomach for it why throw praise? If it was Nasrallah in the bottom of a hole you would be praising it.

I don't agree with the posing, and certainly not with the UN, but this is war. What did you think an airstike would do.

"I think it is best to leave that to the diplomats, because we don't enter politics. But we do everything for peace. Our goal is simply peace, and we will do everything to help attain peace," Benedict told reporters as he returned from an hour-long hike in the Italian Alps.

As my coblogger legalbgl stated earlier today, when was the last time anyone can recall when the UN actually said something in support of Israel? When has the UN said that Israel has the right to defend itself (even though it should be self evident).

The UN was supposed to be a beacon of moral clarity. Now, it's nothing more than a lamp pointing the way to the red light district.

Of course on 9/11 the majority of the 3,000 plus victims were ground into bits along with the two Trade Towers but a comparison to what the Lebanese were doing would be this.

On 9/11 if several of our military surrounded by UN Peace Keepers found our victim's bodies and treated them in the same manner as the people did in these photos, pulling their mutilated corpses from their body bags and photographed them for future brochures to advance our cause, treating them no better than carcasses in an animal slaughterhouse..

96 galloping granny  Fri, Jul 21, 2006 4:51:33pm

I've seen at least one of these pics in the MSM. Truthfully, I've seen worse than this dragged in from an accident scene more than once. And I can guarantee you that the people who are victims of the ball bearing packed bombs Hizballah are dropping on Israelis are nowhere near this "pretty."


The disturbing part to me is the way the bodies are being treated - the child held upside down by the ankles - and the UN flags flying in every picture. Sheer agit-prop, staged to be deliberately reminiscent of pictures from the WWII concentration camps.

I know what can happen to a body in war. It's part of war, and it's not pretty. That was not the point.

Two points.

As Jennifer Griffin pointed out, the people in south Lebanon ARE Hezbollah, and Hezbollah caused this. When in the last several decades did anyone BUT Muslims create the conflict? When their human shields crumple, they proceed to milk the corpses for everything they are worth; they use the corpses with gusto. My feeling is that they're much more tickled at having corpses to show than sad in any way about the deaths. That disgusts me.

Second, I think I made it clear above that I'm disgusted at the "professional" Muslims for their disrespect of corpses. I also feel that way when Palis run to a bombed out car and grab body parts to wave around, or when they run off with Israeli body parts and try to blackmail the government to get them back, but those people are not "professionals."

98 steppingrazor  Fri, Jul 21, 2006 4:51:50pm

You know, this is strange... but I viewed the pictures and I'm not getting too upset by the gore. It's almost surreal to see dead human bodies being handled like animal flesh, and to see the dead, mutilated female body being unveiled by men, in a society where the live female body needs to be covered at all times.

My gut reaction? I'm sorry their society sucks. It let them down, even in death. Whatever they did in life, they're now reduced to a propaganda photo op.

I am Roman Catholic and since 9/11 I have watched my Church become weak, irrelevant and incapable of discerning good from evil. The Church is under attack by Islam physically and spiritually and the leadership of the Church is in nearly complete denial. That part not in denial is in submission.

It is as if every muttonhead from the 1960s generation is calling the shots inside the Church from the Vatican to the Parish Council level. I am witnessing the precursor to the next great Halocaust and see my Church leaders joining the chorus of the liberal elites in chastising the Jews. I have never been more disappointed.

A couple of comments on this

1. Do people in the west realise how they are also 'guilty' in these deaths. We know the terrorists use human shields for their propaganda use to turn the West off the war. Yes it's for us that too many of these people die, are not allowed to leave the danger areas. Cos they think these images will turn the tide against Israel.

2. Israeli's are also being killed, many attempts are unsuccessful. But Israeli mutiliated bodies are just as sad, wasted. But more importantly, Israeli mutiliated bodies are unnecessary to bring peace.

I remember after Fallujah, a couple dozen Iraqi men volunteered to collect the corpses lying all over the place in accordance with their Muslim faith, which states that Muslims should respectfully handle and bury Muslim dead. The Iraqi volunteers refused money for the job, and it was dangerous, because some of the bodies might have been boobytrapped. Now, that is what I expect from a decent Muslim.

On the other hand, this business of holding a young Muslim female corpse by the heels or showing her naked body to a lens is what I'd expect from Hezbollah.

I would not be a bit surprised if the whole thing was the UN's idea, though.

Great point. The ulterior motives here are so blatant that it's mind-blowing that this may be blown into the proportions of international scandal.

Let me make this clear: Islam uses human shields and parades the body parts like trophies. It's a sick blood and death cult.

I get sick hearing about the carnage in Iraq, but I'm not stupid enough or demented enough to think it's due to U.S. action. When the Shia and Sunnis blow each other up in every conceivable "soft target" that's just Islam being Islam.

Similarly, when Hiz'b'Allah uses residential buildings as bunkers, all the carnage goes on them. I'm wise to the tricks now. Fool me a thousand times and I'm dumb as a rock.

Have you seen the new version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? (MUCH better than the old one!) In the movie one of the children is the very spoiled daughter of a rather wealthy man. She has tantrum after tantrum to get her own way. Eventually she goes down the drain to the garbage disposal, because she is, after all, spoiled.

The Muslims are just like this spoiled brat of a child. They want what they want and they are going to keep trying until they get what they want. Sometimes they'll stop the tantrums and pretend to play nicely with others hoping that we will relent and let them have their own way because they are "so good" but when that doesn't work they go right back to screaming, shouting and breaking everyone's toys.

France use to be as powerful as the US is now, and that 'state of mind' is where they operate from.

Those of you who don't get it, please try and understand -- those of us who are disgusted are not disgusted at the sight of the mangled bodies. Most of us know what mangled bodies look like. Many of us have been in situations where we've mourned over our dead comrades, many of whom were horribly mangled. We know what happens during a war -- but that is not the point.

We're not disgusted by the fact that horrible carnage is taking place. Dismayed, heartsick and sad to the bone, yes, but not disgusted.

What we ARE disgusted by is the desecration of corpses for propoganda purposes.

Any sane human being would be dismayed and hearsick over the death of a child -- especially such a violent and horrible death. Only an insane monster would use a child's horrendous death for propoganda purposes, and only an insane, monsterous organization would allow their flag to fly as a backdrop to it.

Do you see Israelis dancing around the bodies? Do you see Israelis showing their bloody hands to the cameras? Do you see car swarms? That the EMS and IDF pick up the body parts and put them in body bags, instead of dancing around with them.
No, you see the EMS doing their jobs. You see people sad and upset. You see the IDF doing their jobs.

Oh, G-d, what absolute obscenity. I haven't seen anything like that since being present as a Magen David Adom medic at the bombings of the Frank Sinatra Cafeteria at Hebrew U and Cafe Moment in 2001. Such grotesque manipulation of the mutilated human form for propaganda purposes is repulsive. Here a thyroid, there a kidney. ZAKA, the Israeli Graves Registration organization, would NEVER do anything like that--does "Kavod HaMeth" have an equivalent in Arabic? "Dignity of the dead", anyone?

Does anyone (like CiJ, for example) know if it's appropriate to say Kaddish or El Maleh Rahamim or some Tehilim (Psalms) in this case? I feel an acute need for some kind of theological response despite my ignorance and sinfulness (cf. the time/date stamp on this comment...)

As for the UN, I can't be sure, but it appears to me that there's one UN flag that is stuck in the back of the truck that was used to collect these bodies. Not sure what that implies about anything.

Even I had a hard time telling what was what on first image on the left due to the tremendous amount of tissue destruction. You would almost have to do DNA to ID it I would think. Certainly says a lot about the folks that would run around and parade those corpses like that for propaganda purposes, but then again we saw how they treated our soldiers they murdered a couple weeks ago and the americans beheaded.

There's a UN flag there because the UN transported the bodies to the hospital "morgue" in Tyre, as it says clearly on most of the photo captions. The flag is incredibly prominent because one of the "professionals" is holding it rigid to show it off.

There is another Getty pic that shows a UN vehicle at the location, which I am pretty sure is in one of the Pali refugee camps in Tyre. This is obviously not just a pickup truck with a flag stuck on.

The damned U.N. *spit* show where their loyalty lies..squarely with hizbollah..their flags fly side by side at the Israeli-Lebanese border...

And this, fom the Opinion Journal...

The U.N.'s years-long record on the Israel-Lebanon border makes mockery of the term "peacekeeping." On page 155 of my book, "Inside the Asylum," is a picture of a U.N. outpost on that border. The U.N. flag and the Hezbollah flag fly side by side. Observers told me the U.N. and Hezbollah personnel share water and telephones, and that the U.N. presence serves as a shield against Israeli strikes against the terrorists.

The Israeli response to the attack by Lebanon-based Hezbollah terrorists was much more violent and effective than Hezbollah, Iran or Syria expected. The Olmert government failed to make any significant response to previous raids from Gaza and Lebanon, which encouraged both terrorist regimes. The Syrian and Iranian regimes practice brinksmanship as their foreign policy. They attack as often as they can in as aggressive a manner as they believe will not trigger a decisive response. Iran wanted to distract the G-8 summit from agreeing to do anything about its nuclear weapons program, so it apparently told its Hezbollah surrogates in Lebanon that the time was ripe to begin a major offensive.

And this amazingly prescient article from 2003, gives a vivid picture of the situation at the border..

Aside from providing amusement on otherwise sleepy Sundays, the frontier divides southern Lebanon from northern Israel. But an ignorant visitor wouldn't even know that Lebanon exists -- there are no Lebanese flags, no Lebanese border guards. To the annoyance of Lebanon (now sometimes daringly expressed in the Beirut press), Hezbollah controls outright the strip of land that runs 5 or 10 km north from Israel. The soldiers peering across at Israel are identifiably Hezbollah (army pants, army boots, T-shirt choice optional), proudly standing beneath fluttering Hezbollah flags (automatic rifle, rampant on a field of green).

A despicably provocative billboard also stares across at Israel. It shows huge photographs of three dead Israeli soldiers, one with his bleeding head ripped from his body and held aloft by his hair. A sign reads: "Sharon -- don't forget your soldiers are still in Lebanon." As Israelis are only too well aware, Hezbollah won't return bodies of soldiers they've killed, keeping them either as trophies or possible trading chips.

see whole article...I saw the sign on of all places,CNN, on the Glenn Beck show. It is vile.

These are the pictures I posted about on LGF and other blogs some days ago. Finally they are out there to show that war does horrible things to innocents, but savages exploit the carnage for their depraved propaganda, with UN "peacekeepers" at the heart of it.

As usual the msm does the propaganda for the Islamists. It's just so staged, no respect for the bodies. And as many as mentioned, these same guys like uncovering dead women and girls for their sick propaganda but if a live woman is even slightly unbagged, they'd go nutty.
I feel sorry for many of these civilians, especially the children. Used as dupes and human shields in life, in death their only value to the terrorists is as hate propaganda.
Sick. Death cult.

Well, they love death.

Let's oblige them their supreme desire.

My nonfriend over at wakeupfromyourslumber.blogspot.com posted those pictures a week ago. I responded that she was actually giddy at the images of dead bodies, and I was repulsed by her.

The more dead bodies, and themore gruesome the image of the dead bodies, the greater her elation. You see, then she can point out how "evil" Israel is - without any context as to how the people died in the first place, of course. She just hates, without thinking. Dead bodies are her pornography - but only dead bodies killed by the US/Israel. She never looks at the dead bodies of Muslims killed by other Muslims, of course. (and thinks that most of those deaths are a conspiracy theory, anyway)

That seems to be a pattern in the Arab world - hatred, without thinking. This will be their undoing. They will never join the human race in the 21st century until Arabs, as a collective, form the ability to think. I say the same of bullshit moral equivalency/multi culti leftists.

They will all be left in the dust. The good news is that in the war on thought, thinking people always win in the long run.

So buck up! We will win this fight, it is inevitable! It may take a decades, but we will win!

The UN is a coconspirator and has caused the death and destruction of the peoples of two nations. They should be brought up on war crimes.

That the UN is riddled with corruption and malice for democracy, sovereignity, and the West and its allies is has been vividly apparent for quite some time. However this revelation about complicity and obstruction, combined with the demonstratable willingness to place UN flags and workers in grotesque photo opportunities to advance anti-Semitism...demands an investigation and subsequent punishment for those who will be found guilty.

Eighteen civilians, including nine children, were burnt alive in an Israeli helicopter gunship attack on residents fleeing border villages in south Lebanon.

Seems like quite a bit of editorializing in the captions.

I saw the photos from the incident a couple of days ago, and they were presented with absolutely no context.

I hate like hell that civilians get killed in this bloody business, but we have to maintain some sense of reality.

Reality check #1: when opposing forces engage in combat near you, your environment becomes inherently LETHAL.

Reality check #2: if you're driving a truck full of people near a missile launcher site, while it's firing, expect some heat.

The sad fact is that these people have survived for so long with varying degrees of combat swirling around that they get jaded. Jaded, as in, they can see I'm not participating in the hostilities, so I have no concern with the action. I'm out of bounds.

To anyone who has never observed the effects of a 1000 lb bomb; you don't want to be anywhere within 500 meters of that dog when it goes off, it is definitely not healthy.

After Hezbollah's kidnapping of a pair of Israeli soldiers spurred an Israeli counter-attack, many critics of Israel actions have suggested that the United Nations can serve as a buffer between Israel and Hezbollah. To the contrary, the United Nations has a well-established record of collaboration with Hezbollah in the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has been deployed since 1978, not long after Israel first entered Lebanon in pursuit of PLO terrorists. UNIFIL was created pursuant to Security Council Resolution 425, for the purpose of "confirming the withdrawal of Israeli forces, restoring international peace and security and assisting the Government of Lebanon in ensuring the return of its effective authority in the area." Quite obviously UNFIL has utterly failed to achieve the Security Council's objectives, either before or after Israel's 2000 complete withdrawal from Lebanon. One reason is that UNIFIL does not interdict Hezbollah attacks on Israel. Instead, UNIFIL allows Hezbollah to set up positions next to UNFIL units, in effect using UNIFIL as human shields against Israeli counterstrikes. (Aluf Benn, Israel accuses UN of collaborating with Hezbollah," Haaretz, Sept. 11, 2005.)

UNIFIL's most notorious collaboration with terrorists involved the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli soldiers, and the subsequent cover-up.

On October 7, 2000, Hezbollah terrorists entered Israel, attacked three Israeli soldiers on Mount Dov, and abducted them Lebanon. The kidnapping was witnessed by several dozen UNIFIL soldiers who stood idle. One of the soldier witnesses described the kidnapping: the terrorists set of an explosive which stunned the Israeli soldiers. Clad in UN uniforms, the terrorists called out, "Come, come, we’ll help you."

The Israeli soldiers approached the men in UN uniforms. Then, a Hezbollah bomb detonated—-apparently prematurely. It wounded the disguised Hezbollah commander, and three Israeli soldiers.

Two other terrorists in U.N. uniforms dragged their Hezbollah commander and the three wounded soldiers into a getaway car.

The true irony of this outrageous display is that THEY have NO PROBLEM with desecration of human remains; they are hoping the Western perspective will be influenced...

It influences ME alright; I'm more convinced these sub-human death cultist NEED KILLING bad. Anything less is irresponsible for the safety and security of everyone else.

thanks for the link

Here is the text of the letter I sent both of my senators: Joe Lieberman and Chris Dodd.

Dear ___:

I am writing to express my utter disgust at the actions of the United Nations in Lebanon. I am attaching a link to some photos that show UN personnel in Lebanon indulging in despicable behavior in the wake of Israel's recent efforts. The grisly propaganda that the UN is perpetrating shows yet again what a negative and dangerous force this organization has become. I would caution you that viewing these photos (with all of the UN flags that are present) are not for the faint of heart.

[Link: editorial.gettyimages.com...]

This organization and its actions are indecent, obscene, and dangerous. It calls into question whether the UN deserves to be housed on US soil any longer. I would ask that the Senate and the House discuss the outrageous actions of the UN and shine the light of publicity on the atrocious activities of the UN.

Thanks very much ...

Is the UN beholden to the Geneva Conventions at all?

240 marjoriemoon  Sat, Jul 22, 2006 6:54:00am

I don't get it. The Muslims go on a rampage because of the "disrespect" of the Quran or the image of Mohammad in some ridiculous cartoon (we're talking pieces of paper here), but dead, mutilated Muslims are just fine to print as long it's used as anti-Israeli propaganda. And while the U.N. et al find it necessary to do this vile deed, Israel NEVER EVER prints pictures of dead Israelis in their media for respect to the families whether they're Jewish or not. Even those shots on the Israeli Ministry page show the EFFECTS of the homicide bombers damage, but not the bodies. Blood, yes, bandaged victims, yes. Torn up bodies, NO. Do liberals ask themselves why Israel doesn't behave in this way? Tell me now who is more humane. p.s. I have no need to look.

They should get some comedy or improv training. Really, it might help their dispositions.

Maybe, if you're a neanderthal, these bodies would be considered toys.

244 nagasaki_hata  Sun, Jul 23, 2006 3:54:26am

So the poster is "furious" at the U.N.?

The U.N. is evil, but they didn't murder these innocents--

Israelis did.

Some may say,well, they are animals, non-Jews, who cares, but the children there certainly are innocent and nothing can justify their murders.

245 arch  Sun, Jul 23, 2006 2:58:51pm

Yawn. There was a time when images like this would've bothered me...but I got used to it the day I saw pictures of the piles of sidewalk jelly that used to be the humans who were forced to jump out of upper-floor windows of the World Trade Center...some of them on fire. Remember those people?

So sorry Muslims, since that day I've been neither willing nor able to cry for your dead and I certainly have no itention of starting now. The fact is, I've been robbed of the ability to feel any compassion for your peoples' suffering and you can thank your 19 jihadi brothers for that.
