1. Crazy, brainwashed fanatics!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (06.08.06)
All these insurgents we see in Iraq and all the terrorists we see in Israel and in Erope are all grown from the same seed...Extreme Islam!!! The world needs to wake up and stop this breeding of hate and violence before it becomes a bigger problem. These people celebrate death and trully believe that there are virgins waiting for them. Zarqaui is the first of many to be dealt with in this fashion. Great job USAF!!!
2. These are not some poor people in a land far away
Caligula's Horse ,   Solomon's stables   (06.08.06)
These are 2nd generations to Muslim immigrints in Europe and north America, where do you think the recent group of Canadian Muslim terrorists got their inspiration from? In Muslim countries the brainwash is passed in the madrasa and in the mosques, with the modern Muslim, the place of meeting where they share their feelings, getting exposed to Islamo-Facist brainwash and in extreme cases planning their terroristic planes, are Islamic forums, check it yourself, there are hundreds of thse English-speaking Muslim forums, filled with venomous Anti-Semitism and westren hate, fertile ground for serious terrorist organisations.
3. To DR Florida
Karim ,   Morocco   (06.08.06)
Not as brainwashed and fanatical as the people who invade other countries, fight their people for oil because their so-called elected leaders told them so. More than 2000 US soldiers have been killed, and thousands of injured, and yet many still want to go fight and to "serve their country and die for their country in Iraq" as they all claim. If this is not brainwash and fanatism, then what is it? At least the fighters in Iraq, even extremist ones, are fighting against an invading foreign force in their own country. What are US soldiers fighting and dying for in foreign lands? huh? US army killed over 2 million people in Vietnam, and paid with over 60,000 US soldiers for......what? Nothing. In the end, the US lost the war and left. The question remains: how did all those soldiers obey their gov to go kill as many as 2 million in a far way country like Vietbnam and get 60,000 of their own killed? Brainwash and nationalistic fanaticsm.
4. response
steve ,   detroit,mi   (06.08.06)
Being a Christian I can only hope that Abu Musab accepted CHRIST JESUS as his Savior before he died.
5. Zarqawi
Steven ,   L.A. USA   (06.08.06)
What we need are thousands of "martyrs" from the followers of Zarqawi, Bin Laden and all the other Islamic fascists throughout the world. With each one of their deaths, the world is cleansed from the scum of fundamentalist Islam.
6. Some questions about virgins
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (06.08.06)
1. Are the virgins alive or, like their forthcoming partner, dead? 2. Are they all serviced simultaneously? 3. Are they happy to do their duty in this manner? 4. Why virgins anyway? Would not women with some experience provide more pleasure?
7. One God rising....
Truth Seeker ,   US   (06.08.06)
The Cult Of The One God is receiving new life. Within ALL of its sects (including: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), moderate belief systems are in decline and losing both adherents and clerics, while restorative Fundamentalism is on the rise, both among the acolytes and their new fire and brimstone preachers. You see it in the swelling of the Jewish Orthodox ranks. It is plain as day with the meteoric rise of the Pentacostal and Evangelical and Baptist swellings in America. And you see it taken to its logical conclusion by the fundamentalist Islamicists. All of these up and coming revivals in the sects of The Cult Of The One God share some common themes: each of their respective sacred books is viewed as the infallible word of their One God; their acolytes are most often poor and uneducated, thereby being ripe for brainwashing; and more importantly, all are willing to place the needs of their religion before the needs of their state, or even their families. Even to the point of martyrdom, in the case of certain Muslims. Such is the power of blind faith. So suck it up, fellow humans. For it will get far worse before it gets better. Look upon what your One God has wrought and despair, for the usual inter faith crusades are upon us once more.... and once more the rivers run red with the blood of the believers.
8. Martyrs and Virgins
Allan ,   Florida   (06.08.06)
The US military would be more than happy to oblige these morons' wishes. They want to marry 70 virgins in heaven? Line them up and have them listen closely. The sound they 'll hear is the Hellfire making their wishes come true.
9. Let Him Rot In Hell
Aaron ,   United States   (06.08.06)
This animal was nothing more than a mass murder and deserved a much more painful death than our 500lb bombs provided. There will always be psychopaths like Zarqawi, but our job is to terminate these killers as soon as we can to save INNOCENT lives. This pig was responsible for the murder of hundreds, if not thousands of people. Anyone who praises what he has done deserves his same fate! Allah Akbar mother f'er
10. Bravo !
Bernhard ,   Vienna, Austria   (06.08.06)
One pig less in this world, continue with the rest of em muslims
11. To Karim
John Smith ,   Manchester, UK   (06.08.06)
Karim wrote:- >> Not as brainwashed and fanatical as the people who invade other countries << Zarqawi was NO citizen if Iraq. He went into (invaded) another country (Iraq) and murdered many of its people.
12. Islamic spirituality
Chaim ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.08.06)
A life filled with hate and killings rewarded by an afterlife full of sex and decadence.
13. Bin Laden and Zawahiri
NightHawk749 ,   New York, USA   (06.08.06)
Let us hope that Bin Laden and Zawahiri suffer the same fate soon as Zarqawi. 500 pound bombs . . . 72 virgins? What a mindless crock of nonsense!
14. Karim from Morocco, you said it the best way!
Palestinian   (06.08.06)
Thank you. Zarqawi has got his wish. He knew what he was doing, and it is victory or martyrdom.
15. Lake of fire
Yaweh ,   heaven   (06.08.06)
Hear they words sons of Ismael....The time of the lord is soon, repent for your evil ways. Repent for your slandering of his name, for even for you beasts god will grant forgivness if you ask.
16. #9 & #10
Suprised!! ,   USA   (06.08.06)
I am glad that Zarqawi is gone and can do no more harm but I am also sad that people like Aaron (#9) & Bernhard (#10) can be so un-educated and immoral as to make the comments they made. They are stupid to think that all muslims are like these terrorists and to make horrible comments. They show how naive they are, how they react is what the terrorists want b/c it adds fuel to the fire for their insurgency and jihad. They show themselves not much better than the terrorists by these mailicious comments. Racism and Bigotry is an unfortunate epidimic everywhere and it too is a form of terrorism that has been going on here for decades. I pray that terrorists are stopped and people who make comments like they have on this site are stopped as well. Also how can this filth be published on this site when supposedly there are terms of use?? It is a shame this is the world we live in!
17. Let Allah sort them out
Salammi ,   Izmir, Turkey   (06.08.06)
So this guy kills innocent people, but God is going to give him virgins. Uh... yeah. In this guys mind, was he a "good guy"? Let me see, today I will send car bombers into a busy market place to kill men, women, and childred. I guess that makes me a sweetheart!! And other Arabs think he's a good man too? That is scary, actually!!
18. #11
Jane   (06.08.06)
He was, actually, a Palestinian, though not many want to say so. Born in a refugee camp in Jordan, but Palestinian nevertheless.
19. #4
Jane   (06.08.06)
Like that might ever happen. He hates Jews.
20. Zarqawi speaks to the devil...
James ,   Detriot, U. S.   (06.08.06)
Zarqawi: Hey where's my 72 virgins Devil: I'm not sure, but your mine.
21. To Karim Morocco
James ,   New York USA   (06.08.06)
Look who is brainwashed you rising prices at the pump and oil from Iraq at a standstill and you still think we went to Iraq for oil? I saw the planes hit the WTC and I know for a fact my nephews didn't join the military and go to Iraq for oil. They went because they realize what the Koran says about infidels and how to deal with them. We are going to fight a radical ideology preached in islam that says to kill the non believers. I am sure you know what cutting a persons head off symbolizes in the Koran. It states if the infidal(non believer of islam) does not convert or become a slave to the laws of islam then cut their heads off. That is the symbolism of cutting off the heads. Like they wanted to do in Canada recently. I don't give a crap about oil but I will not stand by and wait for islamic fanaticism to spread any further than it already has. I would be better off allowing the KKK to propagate thier ideology accross the globe than that of extreemist islam. Get a clue man. you can than the western countries in general for giving oil value in the first place. If it wasn't for the wests consumption of oil the arabic lands would be worthless. the belief that we are in Iraq for Oil is true brain washing. everyone brings up vietnam as if there was no point in the history of any other country were they cuased death and attrocities. did you know that tens of millions of civilians died in WWII you don't hear anyone compaining about those civilian deaths. 19 Milloin died in Russia alone... Get a grip man! If you think the Quran has all the answers than your truely brainwashed! stop winning about your country and blaming all your problems on the US and start inventing and growing like india china canada and have the modern world educate your people in Art and Science not Alah and Sharia Law and do something with your life. Why do so many Morrocans go to Belgium and France etc... if they have their act together? Why due the jews in isreal turn dirt and medetoranian sea into a nice place to live why other arabic run countries turn their countries to jails and discrimanatory hot boxes of no value. All they due is complane the USA put us here its their fault we have nothing to due with our fate it is their doing. If it wasn't for western countries primarily the US making Oil a comodity your countries would have nothing else to offer. And guess what your countries are forcing their own hand we will eliminate the need for oil in the future and seperate ourselves from your countries and then we will see how much better off you are without your only source of income... Your Brainwashed Pal from USA

Oh that's right. 9/11 was in Iraq. So was the colombian explosion. OH, so was the london explosion.
23. Martyrdom, virgins and eternity-think about those concepts!
Mark ,   United States   (06.08.06)
This idea of having virgins is something these people ought to take a serious, realistic look at. Sure, sexual relations is usually enjoyable but consider for just a moment what that is. It is a physical act that hopefully culminates with a physically pleasurable feeling for the participants. How sure are these people that martyrdom includes having any physical sense of existence anyway? Also, they should consider what eternity might be. Would one grow just a bit weary of copulation after say 10,000 or 100,000 or maybe several billion times? The concept of eternity has some very serious flaws to it if one takes the time to rationally analyze it. These people who believe martyrdom produces something that normal humans get temporal pleasure out of really haven’t thought through the whole concept of eternity. For pleasure to be experienced, there needs to be the opposite or at least the absence of the experience for part of the time. For there to be black, there must be white. For there to be light, there must be dark. And, for there to be a passage of time there must be a finite beginning and ending of a time period. There isn’t any beginning or ending of a time period in the concept of eternity. The idea of sex with some number of virgins is ludicrous at best. It is merely a good marketing tool that preys on the normal selfishness of humans who are not smart enough to look beyond its shallow promise. If they were more interested in their societies at large than their own eternal sexual satisfaction they would reject this whole concept of martyrdom. Also, the idea of “having” virgins seems to fly in the face of revering and trying to protect women which I think is supposed to be part of what they believe in doing.
24. Real Incentive!!
Jonny ,   Jerusalem   (06.08.06)
Forget the $25M price tag on these guys heads. All we gotta do is promise the US soldiars 70 LIVE virgins in this world and boy o boy will see some real results on the ground. Our boyz would be movin those basturds down like hotcakes. Pickin off like dry grass in a summer brushfire. Go USA! Go USA!
25. Karim
Warren ,   Austin, TX   (06.08.06)
I dont understand why so many people compair this war with the Vietnam, I assume because they remember and therefor can relate. You talk of a War for oil, and yet the majority of the US' oil comes from Canada, and Mexico Iraq is a far and distant 6th. You talk of brainwashing and troops fighting and dying for nothing but I doubt that they feel the same way. I have tried to join the Marines since the start of this War and have been unable to due to medical waivers. I would fight for this country, and its leaders in any way I could. I doubt American troops are brainwashed we dont act like we're not afraid of death. We dont strap bombs to ourselves and think we'll die and go to paradise. We're scared as hell, although I am personally not in the armed service of any type. Many of my Friends are and when I see them for a cook out, or other gathering they're not afraid to say their scared everyday that they'll never see their wives again, or that they wish they could see their boy pick up his first baseball. They also tell me that they would never take back their decision to enlist, and believe completely in what they are doing. As far as brainwashing goes I would say Anti-war/bush Movies/Publications/ADs/brochures are a lot more one sided then anything that defends what we are doing, and was decided on by our leaders. Just look at Michael Moore not only are his movies edited down to appear completely one sided, but now he is being sued, and I doubt it will be the last lawsuit. This is a great day for me and should be for Iraq not only was al-Zarqawi killed, but the parliament has finally selected their Security Ministers.
26. He is dead
Brod ,   USA   (06.08.06)
He is dead. He can't perform on his virgins. Where did all these virgin craps come from?
27. Zarqawi is only marrying 72 maggots!
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (06.08.06)
SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, ABU MUSAB! Also: #17 you are correct. #14 and #3 And yes, many Palestinians DO think he was a hero. He is responsible for the deliberate, savage murders of more civilians -- the vast majority of them Arab Muslims -- than anyone since Saddam Hussein, but they're happy to honor him. It says something about them, not about him.
28. To #14 and for Everyone to Read
Aaron ,   United States   (06.08.06)
Your backwards view of the world is going to lead to one and only one result. . . .the death of more people. It is truly sad that you have become so desensitized to death and suffering that you wish it upon your own people and hold it up as some type of honor. There is no honor in killing or being killed. Zarqawi was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqis because he was a psychopath obsessed with himself and the power he thought he wielded by killing. History will never remember killers for anything more than what they were. If you aspire to kill or be killed you will have great company with the likes of Hitler and Stalin. Those are great role models for your children, aren’t they? Are your great grandfather's dead and decomposed olive trees truly worth the lives of so many? If another Palestinian dies from an Israeli bullet or missile you can thank the terrorists you support and if one of those people happens to be someone you love I hope it opens your eyes to the real world where people and life matter. When you are in a position of such weakness bullets and bombs do not help because they will be used against you in retaliation with a 10 fold affect. The only weapon you have is peace and negotiation and if Israel is really the monster you say they are your weapon of peace will truly expose them. But what I believe to be true is that peace with Israel and the rest of the world will only expose your type of people for what they truly are. . .killers and thugs. And this is why you will not agree to peace. Your poor people will continue to die because of stupidity and pride.
29. I was just wondering...
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (06.08.06)
There's all this talk about 72 virgins awaiting the shaheedim after their "martyrdom." What about women terrorists? What awaits them, if anything, in this view?
30. Zarqawi
Jason Asman ,   Boston   (06.08.06)
Apparently he was cut to shreds -- which part of his body is going to heaven to meet the virgins??
