Muslims are animals. That is all I can tell you after watching that. And the crowd of people cheering it on and videoing the thing. It's a death cult. The link is at Brumar's link. If you want to see the nature of Islam, go for it...

Could this mean Obama is giving aid and comfort to Al-Qaida? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Obama greenlights $25 million to aid Libyan rebels Obama greenlights $25 million to aid Libyan rebels AFP – Libyan rebel fighters storm out of a building occupied by forces loyal to Moamer Kadhafi in Misrata. … – Wed Apr 20, 12:16 pm ET WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama plans to provide Libya's rebels with up to $25 million in urgent, non-lethal aid, a senior US diplomat told lawmakers in a letter obtained by AFP on Wednesday. The message from Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs Joseph Macmanus to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent Friday, shows Washington stepping up its help to embattled opposition forces in Libya. "I wish to inform you that the president intends to exercise his authority to draw down up to $25 million in commodities and services from the inventory and resources of any agency of the United States government," he wrote. "The president's proposed actions would provide urgently needed non-lethal assistance to support efforts to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas under threat of attack in Libya," said Macmanus. A memorandum attached to the letter said the aid could include vehicles, fuel trucks, ambulances, medical equipment, protective vests, binoculars, and radios.

The developments came as the besieged rebel-held city of Misrata desperately pleaded for help against Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's forces, who have been pounding it for more than six weeks. The bombardment continued on Wednesday, with loud explosions heard mid-afternoon in Misrata, where there was heavy overnight fighting and from which thousands of people are trying to flee.

At first glance, it might seem odd that the rebels would document their own atrocities. But given all the indications that the eastern Libyan heartland of the rebellion is a bastion of jihadist militancy, it is in fact not so odd. Nothing the least odd about it. It's only "odd" if you subscribe to the Geneva Conventions, so don't want to advertise that you're not abiding by them. Otherwise, it's been an advantage forever in war to advertise your own savagery. Terrify your enemies enough, and they may surrender without a fight, or run away. What's truly odd is the inability of Western elites to see the obvious: the Islamists don't work by their rules.
