May God rest the souls of the victims of the subway attacks in Spain. We condemn this terrorist attack, regardless of who is responsible. Terrorism does nothing but perpetuate a cycle of violence and costs innocent lives.

Thankfully Donald Rumsfeld has proven the case for the Iraq war. I’m glad this administration is restoring dignity to the Office of the President of the United States of America.
Moslemic America [updated]
Been going to this conference since its inception. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. This year looks good. Come out and represent. [Update] Much love to HijabMan for reminding me about the conference. Most of the islamicate group will be coming, as will he. If anyone else from the blogosphere is planning on attending, please drop me a line and I’ll try to get us all together. Email is: islamoyankee at yourmotheristhesourceofallspam.mac.com (just remove the “your mother” comment.)
IIA Notes
Unfortunately, I was quite involved in running around during the Islam in America Conference, so I was unable to get good notes. I’m hoping Sam I Am (here at islamicate) and HijabMan will cover the difference. It was great finally meeting Mr. Hijab himself, and he’s agreed to give us the occasional post as well. A nagging question I have though is since I’ve seen his face, does that mean we have to get married now? 😉 I do have some thoughts on the presentations will be posting them slowly during the week.

How can it be a cycle??? The cycle of violence is a moral cop-out!!!!
What did the Spaniards do?
I think the apologists are a little to eager to use this one since it seems to work w/ the Palestinians. It’s a great one-liner but morally incorrect. Let’s not be afraid to call evil, evil.
you are absolutely right. it is an evil. let me be clear, terrorism is horrible, and cannot be justified by any theology i am aware of except through extreme contortions. when i talked of a cycle of violence, i meant that often times it initiates a cycle, a goal of the terrorists to justify their own actions. it was not meant as a statement to rationalize terrorist actions, but as a commentary that you can only have an escalation in deaths; that is, the poisoned fruit of the poisoned tree.
