Salt Lake City - Act of Jihad?

From PipelineNews.org:

March 16, 2007 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Facts have emerged in this case which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Bosnian Muslim immigrant's rampage at a Utah shopping mall, killing five people is a textbook study of a jihadist attack.

Just a day before the murders Talovic told his 17 year old Bosnian girlfriend Monika, with whom he had discussed marriage plans that he was involved in a dark plot.

"Something is going to happen tomorrow that you'll never be able to forgive me about" Talovic's girlfriend told the Salt Lake Times adding that "It was supposed be the happiest day of his life and that it could only happen once in a lifetime." [source Trolley Shooting: Even to the girl he loved, Talovic a mystery to the end, http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_5431036]

Contrary to claims made by Talovic's family, his girlfriend stated that he had a contact at the local mosque, which is located immediately adjacent to the scene of Sulejman's carnage.

I don't know if this proves anything beyond a doubt, but it does make one think that this young man, troubled as he was, saw committing an act of jihad as a chance to be a hero and a martyr.

I wish Lutheran would start a Jihad, I wish Lutherans would do ANYTHING other than sit in there pews and exist. When was the last time you saw a Lutheran unfire to boldly in Public Proclaim Jesus Lord and the Way?

There is no fire in the Lutheran church, only dry bones.

I think I would prefer a jihad that did not involve blowing up or shooting people, but I think I get what you are saying. Too bad we in the ELCA are so busy trying to rationalize away the word of God that we can't tell people the good news.

Christian Jihad is

Proclaiming Christ Savior to those that know you, Not backing down for those who want to Unitize the Church ( Many Rivers one Ocean) Defending Christ at personal risk. BUT as Jesus would , With Love, Humility and Grace. Oh yeah ;) and Forgiveness.
