My shrapnel

You’ve read the stories. Where the suicide bomber’s victims are described as dead or injured. The injured are the ones you think about, wondering what sort of injuries. Cripplings? Of mind or of body or both?

"Just like the shrapnel, the bombing also works its slow but sure way out. But it does so through words."

Gila, one of the injured, works her words out simply, seductively, compellingly, in her blog My Shrapnel.

The enemy within

"About one out of every four American Muslims under 30 think suicide bombing in defense of Islam is justified in at least some circumstances. Twenty-eight percent believe that Muslims did not carry out the 9/11 attacks and 32% declined to answer that question."

Cheery thoughts, there.
