Moroccan Man Explodes Self At Web Café

Blew Himself Up After Owners Stopped Him From Surfing Terror Web Sites

(AP)  A man who was prevented from looking at terror Web sites by the owners of an Internet cafe blew himself up with explosives hidden on his body, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said Monday.

Four other people were injured in the Sunday night blast, including the dead man's companion, who was hospitalized with burns and an injury to the throat, said Ministry spokesman Abderrahman Achour.

Authorities, uncertain about the circumstances of the blast in a Casablanca slum, held off labeling it a suicide bombing, Achour said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Police were not immediately able to identify the dead man, who was not carrying an ID card. His companion identified himself as Said Jokia, but he, too, was not carrying official identity papers, the Ministry spokesman said.

According to the MAP news agency, two men entered the cafe Sunday seeking access to terrorist Web sites. When the owner's son forbid them from doing so, one of the men suddenly blew himself up, MAP reported, citing the Surete Nationale police.

The injured companion fled the cafe but was later arrested. He was taken to Mohamed V Hospital in Casablanca, the Ministry spokesman said, adding that due to the throat injury police questioning was limited.

A series of near simultaneous suicide bombings that killed 45 people, including a dozen bombers, took place in Casablanca in 2003. Since then, this Muslim North African country has made hundreds of arrests and has been scouring the country for Islamic extremists.

Patrick Henry
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775

What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of jihad

Thomas Jefferson knew about fascist nazi islam..... he killed plenty of them....

In 1786 Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). They asked him by what right he extorted money and took slaves. Jefferson reported to Secretary of State John Jay, and to the Congress:

The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.[1]

It's the web cafe's fault. If they would have let him look at the terrorist website, he would still be alive and others wouldn't have been injured. Didn't the web cafe realize that he had a "right" to look at any web site he wanted too?
