Fratricide: a Muslim view

Mona Eltahawy is a Muslim commentator based in New York. In an essay posted on Muslim Wake-Up about the Muslim vs Muslim nature of al-Qaeda's self-styled 'Jihad.' She concludes with this (and please note that it is an Arab TV reporter who makes the final, damning observation):

For those of us in the Muslim world fed up of the bloody toll of bin Laden's lies, the solution is to highlight, clearly and unequivocally, who bears the brunt of his message.

I saw an interesting example of doing just that in the aftermath of November’s Jordanian bombings. Seventeen members of a wedding party killed in the blasts were from a village
in Jenin on the West Bank.

A correspondent for al-Arabiya TV went to a community centre at the village to report on families receiving condolences. He ended his report by saying "bullets of (Israeli) occupation killed 12 people from this village, but in less than five minutes the Amman bombings killed 17."
