Islamic Fundamentalists Get in On Internet Tyrant Week

Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists aren't content to let China's state-worhipping bureaucrats or Turkey's mama's babies get all the attention in Internet Tyrant week, so they continue their campaign of bombing Internet cafes in Gaza because people might use the Internet to look at pornography, according to Bloomberg.

> Soon after a firebomb exploded at 3 a.m. and destroyed four computers in the Al-Shawa Online Internet Cafe in Gaza, owner Alaa al-Shawa clicked onto his e-mail at an undamaged machine.

The first message surprised him: It was from the bombers themselves, explaining that establishments such as his were keeping Muslims away from prayer and providing pornography. That's why it was hit.

"This just shows how confused these fanatics are," said Al-Shawa, 27. "Even they use the Internet to circulate their statements, but they think everyone else uses it for porno."

About 45 Internet outlets have been bombed since Dec. 1, according to figures from Gaza’s Central Police Office. The attacks are occurring against a backdrop of intense infighting between Fatah, the main faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and Hamas, the Islamist party and militia that has grown into the Palestinians' dominant political force. The street clashes have led to general lawlessness.

May a thousand Internet cafes, with a thousand thousand people getting off to their choice of jumpy 15-second porn clips, flower in Gaza.
