2006 The Year of The Religion of Perpetual Outrage

Michelle Malkin takes a look back at the religion of peace and perpetual outrage. I found these interesting facts on “The Religion of Peace.com” More people are murdered every year by Islamist than in the entire 350 year history of the SpanishInquisition. More civilians were murdered in two hours on September the 11th by Islamist than in the 36 years of sectarian violence of Northern Ireland. Islamic attacks against the US since 1979 cost roughly 3,500 American lives Four Islamic enemy air raids were conducted against American targets in New York and Washington, DC, killing close to 3,000 people, destroying the World Trade Towers, and severely damaging the Pentagon. Almost all of those killed were Americans. On November 4, 1979, Islamic Iranian enemies stormed US Embassy Tehran and took about 66 Americans hostage. Thirteen were released on November 19-20, 1979; one on July 11, 1980; the remaining 52 on January 20, 1981 Beirut, Lebanon, Embassy, 1983 On April 18, 1983, the Islamic Hezbollah enemy employed a suicide bomber to truck-bomb US Embassy Beirut. Sixty-three people were killed, of whom 17 were American; 120 injured Beirut, Lebanon, Marine Barracks, 1983 On October 23, 1983, an enemy Islamic suicide bomber truck-bombed the US Marine Corps Barracks at the Beirut International Airport. Two hundred twenty Marines and 21 members of other US military services were killed. This was the bloodiest day for the US Marines Corps since the amphibious assault on Iwo Jima in WWII. Kuwait, US Embassy, 1983 On December 12, 1983, a 25 year old Islamic Iraqi enemy soldier belonging to the enemy Islamic Iranian Dawa Group truck-bombed US Embassy Kuwait, seriously damaging the chancery and destroying the administrative annex, killing five (no Americans), injuring 80. There was no American retaliation. Beirut, Lebanon, abduction and murder of US CIA Station Chief William Buckley, 1984 On March 16, 1984, Islamic Shiite enemies abducted US Embassy Beirut CIA Station Chief Lt. Col. William Buckley, USA, the CIA's top terrorism expert. In October 1985, the CIA assessed that Buckley had been taken to Islamic Iran by way of Islamic Syria and tortured to death. Kuwait, US Embassy Annex, 1984 On September 20, 1984, Islamic Shiite enemies of the US car-bombed the US Embassy annex in east Beirut, killing 14 and injuring 57, including the US and British ambassadors and 19 other Americans.

Of the 270 passengers, 189 were Americans. First New York World Trade Center attack, 1993 On February 26, 1993, a massive explosion occurred in the public parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people were killed, all Americans, with more than 1,000 injured. A truck-bomb was the cause. Six Islamic enemy conspirators were convicted of the crime in 1997 and 1998 and given prison sentences of 240 years each Kuwait, Attempted assassination of President Bush, 1993 Manila Air Bomb Plot, the "Bojinka Plot," 1994 In Late 1994, enemy Islamic forces operating in the Philippines were building bombs they planned to place and remotely detonate on twelve US carrier jumbo jets in a single 48-hour period as they flew from the Far East to the US. A fire in the building housing the bomb building activity thwarted the plot. Three enemy forces were arrested in three foreign countries, brought to New York for trial, and are now serving life imprisonments without the possibility of parole. Had the plot succeeded, it is estimated about 4,000 people would have died, and worldwide air travel would have been disrupted for months, having a major impact on the global economy. Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, Khobar Towers Military complex, 1996 On June 25, 1996, enemy Islamic forces truck-bombed part of the Khobar Towers housing complex at the King Abdul Aziz Air Base in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The explosion occurred near building #131, an eight-story building used mostly by US Air Force personnel. Nineteen US servicemen and one Saudi were killed, with 372 injured.

Los Angeles International Airport, California, 1999 On December 14, 1999, an Islamic enemy Algerian soldier was arrested while crossing from Canada into Washington State with 130 pounds of explosive chemicals and four homemade timing devices. His plan was to detonate a bomb at Los Angeles International Airport on the evening of December 31, 1999. He intended to load the bomb into a suitcase and carry it aboard a train to the airport Aden, Yemen, USS The Sullivans, 2000 On January 3, 2000 enemy Islamic suicide bombers attempted an attack against the USS The Sullivans in port at Aden, Yemen. The attempt failed because the explosives to be employed were too heavy for the suicide boat and the boat sank long before striking The Sullivans. Apparently the bomb-boat sunk with no notice to anyone except the bombers. Aden, Yemen, USS Cole, 2000 On October 12, 2000, an explosion occurred on the port side of the destroyer USS Cole (DDG-67) while moored in the harbor of Aden, Yemen.
