If terrorism doesn’t prove that Satan rules this sinful world, then nothing will. In this morning’s New York Times, they report about the newest terrorist organization called Fatah al Islam, organized and run by a fugitive terrorist, Shakir al-Abssi.

Per The Times:

He has solid terrorist credentials. A former associate of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda of Mesopotamia who was killed last summer, Mr. Abssi was sentenced to death in absentia along with Mr. Zarqawi in the 2002 assassination of an American diplomat in Jordan, Laurence Foley. Just four months after arriving here (note: Lebanon) from Syria, Mr. Abssi has a militia that intelligence officials estimate at 150 men and an arsenal of explosives, rockets and even an antiaircraft gun.

Abssi is nothing but evil. Today he is using his “credentials” as a terrorist thug to recruit new members. He is influencing many young people to join his jihad to murder Americans. Apparently, he has been recruiting new thugs and murderers, creating a wonderful environment to discuss his plots to slaughter innocent people in the name of their god.

One paragraph stuck out to me about these recuitment practices:

Mr. Abssi has recently taken on a communications adviser, Abu al-Hassan, 24, a journalism student who dropped out of college to join Fatah al Islam. His current project: a newsmagazine aimed at attracting recruits.

A newsmagazine for terrorists? This is just plain evil. The devil has definitely been working overtime.

But notice one thing – these terrorist leaders seem fit to strap bombs to others and watch them kill themselves in the name of jihad. Would any of these leaders strap a bomb to their chests themselves? Of course not.

Thugs. Murderers. Evil.
