I told you so

It is heartening to see outrage stemming from the blatant sympathy shown by IAF members of parliament in the wake of the death of Abu Musa'ab Zarqawi. However, with this outrage comes some level of amusement, which stems from what seems to be great surprise on behalf of the enraged.

Now, I really don't see why people are so surprised by such behavior. Ever since the terror attacks Amman last November, I have been pointing out, to the point of tedium, the discrepancy between the moderate veneer that the Islamists put forth and the reality of their behavior and attitudes. All the indications have been there to see for whoever cared to examine the evidence.

So, while I am happy to see that people are acknowledging what I have been pointing out for so many months, I am concerned that this is all short lived, before people go back to their comfortable state of denial.

Hopefully, if that happens, somebody in the cyber wilderness will have the patience to keep prodding people to think about what is behind Islamist words and the actions. I hope that it will not all fall back on Khalaf's shoulders.
