"It's like I said -- 40 people dead, 150 seriously wounded, 1,000 wounded out of over 1 million people in that transit tube. It's not a successful terrorist attack, folks."

You, sir, are a pig. There's no nice way to put it. Here's another thoughtful reaction.*
*Just in case you've never visited the Westboro Baptist Church's site, once again I feel the need to point out that it's real, not a grim parody.

Is it just me, or does advocating death-by-explosion, as this "church" does, demonstrate terroristic tendencies?
From Bruce Schneier's blog (quoting "Robert Pape, a University of Chicago professor who has studied every suicide terrorist attack since 1980...." [embolding mine]):
"...RP: I not only study the patterns of where suicide terrorism has occurred but also where it hasn’t occurred. Not every foreign occupation has produced suicide terrorism. Why do some and not others? Here is where religion matters, but not quite in the way most people think. In virtually every instance where an occupation has produced a suicide-terrorist campaign, there has been a religious difference between the occupier and the occupied community...."
I forgot to include the link for the original above.
