“An Al-Qaeda-linked group claimed Saturday’s deadly bombings in a Egyptian resort as Osama bin Laden’s network further spread its tentacles with strikes on London, threats to European nations and kidnappings in Iraq,” reports News 24. “The group, calling itself the Al-Qaeda Organization in the Levant and Egypt, claimed in an Internet statement the bombings in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh that killed at least 83 people, including foreigners.” No explanation provided why “al-Qaeda” (or al-CIA-duh) would want to kill Muslims. But then the corporate media never bothers with such obvious questions.

As usual, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Chechnya were mentioned in the “internet statement” that will now be taken as gospel truth while the idiocy of “al-Qaeda” killing fellow Muslims remains unmentionable. “The mujahedeen… have dealt a devastating blow to the Crusaders and the Zionists and the infidel Egyptian regime in Sharm al-Sheikh.” Except very few “Crusaders and the Zionists” were killed and the “infidel Egyptians” were average Egyptians, not people from the regime (Hosni Mubarak was not partying at Sharm el-Sheikh). How killing average Egyptians benefits the supposed cause of “the Al-Qaeda Organization in the Levant and Egypt” remains to be seen.

Instead, the bombing of Sharm el-Sheikh should be put into proper context—as it follows the bombings in London (and the execution of an innocent South Asian man), it should be considered an extension of the Gladio “strategy of tension” campaign designed to glut corporate media outlets with more horrific campfire stories of Muslims gone psycho, killing their own as well as innocent Britons on their way to work.

All of this relentless programming against Muslims will build up over the next few weeks and months and culminate in an obvious (neocon-engineered) response: total war against Islam. Of course, before that can happen, a “suicide bombing” or two will need occur in the United States. Following that, everybody (or just about everybody) will be on the same page.
