Why Al Qaeda Has Already Lost

According to the AP:

“Al Qaeda in Iraq and its allies said Muslims would be victorious and called the pope ‘the worshipper of the cross,’ saying ‘you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose the jizya tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion’ to Islam or death by "the sword."

Sister Leonella is reported to have joked through her years in Somalia that there was a bullet with her name on it. The real joke was that just one of these flaccid bastard’s bullets wasn't enough to do it, so they had to use four. Maybe they panicked after the first shot from fear of being slapped with a ruler. Which reminds me of another bad joke about how many warriors of Allah does it take to lay a fatal ambush for an unarmed 65-year-old nun? Well, it wasn’t that good a joke anyway.

Break up the cross? I don’t think so. You’ve had 1400 years to try, and in all these years the harder you’ve pushed, the farther back you’ve regressed. You couldn’t even defeat Sister Leonella, who died victorious marked with the Sign of the Cross. And as you did your war dance over her dying form--or more likely ran way, leaving her shot in the back four times--she was still unbowed enough to tumble and bat your little god in the dust where he was spawned, before rising higher above you than you can ever imagine, and spoke back down the words that will crack every mosque from floor to dome:

“I forgive, I forgive.”
