A Thanksgiving gift ... from Islamists who "get it"

This from here:

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan's King Abdullah II urged his new prime minister Thursday to launch an all-out war against Islamic militancy in the wake of the triple hotel bombings earlier this month that killed 63 people.

In a letter to newly appointed Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit, Abdullah said the Nov. 9 bombings "increase our determination to stick to our reform and democratization process, which is irreversible."

"At the same time, it reaffirms our need to adopt a comprehensive strategy to confront the Takfiri culture," Abdullah said, referring to the ideology adopted by Al Qaeda and other militants who condone the killing of those they consider infidels.

This comes as welcome news. It is lucky for us that Al Zarqawi decided to have a major brain fart, and unmasked himself for the whole Islamic world to see. He is now reaping what he sowed, and it would appear that this may be the beginning of the end of Islamic indifference to atrocities committed by their radical brethren.

It's only too bad that it required an attack on their own in order for them to start seeing the light.
