Mecca Water: Purified Madrid Terrorists
2004-04-15
The Islamic terrorists responsible for the Madrid train bombings financed their plot with sales of hashish and Ecstasy and drank holy water from Mecca in ritual "purification acts" before the attacks, the acting interior minister, Ángel Acebes, said Wednesday.
"Mecca Cola" is being peddled, three blocks from where I live. Maybe a swig of that kind of Mohammed-grog, could be taken as a license to kill.
In a final news conference before the newly elected Socialist government takes office, Mr. Acebes described the March 11 terror attacks as a local, independently organized operation led by people with "connections to other fundamentalist groups in Europe and outside Europe." He said the group might have been influenced by a supreme leader "with more experience with radical Islam." But he said much of the plot had been carried out with the help of petty criminals.
Frankly, I believe that al-Qaeda exists to inspire creation of local clone-cells. And they are succeeding in establishing bases (al-qaedat) everywhere.
Using traffickers as intermediaries, the bombers swapped the drugs for the 440 pounds of dynamite used in the blasts, which killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,400 others, Mr. Acebes said. Money from the drug trafficking paid for an apartment hide-out, a car and the cellphones used to detonate the bombs, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.
In my wonderful neighborhood, Arabs and Somalis peddle dope. I guess it is okay to ruin the lives of kaffirs.
The explosives, Mr. Acebes added, were taken from a coal mine in the Asturias region of northern Spain and transported in a Volkswagen to a rundown property outside Madrid. The leaders of operation, evidently concerned about the effects of their plot on their souls, "swallowed holy water from Mecca," he said, adding, "They met periodically to carry out purification acts that would legitimize the committing of acts that could offend Islam..."
Where do they acquire this logic? Could it have been from one of the Saudi financed mosques? Didn’t Sheik Kabbani testify to a Congressional Committee, that "80%" of America mosques were "extremist?" I would de-purify (or whatever) the body parts of terrorists, by burying them in pig manure.

#1  Generally, when pious pilgrims from the One True Religion of the Master Race come back to my sweet country, there are always some stories about sanitary authorities preventing Holy Water from Mecca from being brought along, as it is full of feccal matter and bacterias, and susceptible to carry cholera. Purifying indeed.
